It never […]

Seedy K’s GameCap: Stanford

That Louisville even had a legitimate chance to eek out a sweep of their West Coast trip is a testament to . . .  . . . I dunno . . . grit.  ???????? Louisville 76, Stanford 80. The Cardinals never held a lead for the last 15:01 of the 1st.  But trailed by only […]

Louisville comes up short at Stanford, 80-76

Three nights ago Louisville looked unstoppable in a 90-70 win over California and Stanford managed just 40 points in a 7-point home loss to a bad Notre Dame team.

Cards Defeat SMU 91-58

Louisville RB Isaac Brown officially transferring

I’m going to say something that I’ve said multiple times this season, even after some pushback: I’ve been watching Louisville football for as long as I can remember, and Isaac Brown is the most naturally talented running back I’ve ever seen don the red and black. Bilal Powell was tremendous, Michael Bush was a freak, […]

Seedy K’s Peerless Postseason Punditry & Prognostications: Assorted Bowls 2

Desperate times mean desperate measures. That’s how the admonition/ homily/ observation has evolved through the eons. Credited to Hippocrates, speaking of how to treat rare illnesses in the days before Theodoric of Yorkick discovered bloodletting. Though some cite Erasmus, another ancient as the first proclaimer. Then there’s Willie the Shakes in “The Tempest.” Misery acquaints […]
