For the fourth time in four years, Jeff Brohm appears prepared to give the reigns to his offense to a transfer portal quarterback. Ohio State quarterback Lincoln Kienholz has committed to Louisville during his weekend visit to the school. A 5-star recruit coming out of high school, Kienholz battled during the summer for the Buckeyes’ starting QB spot […]
For those who have followed college football for quite some time, they realize that ‘recruiting season’ isn’t actually a season, but a three hundred and sixty five day a year adventure of selling your staff, your program, and your current athletes that this school, program, facility, is in fact, the place to be. It never […]
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 […]
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. A lot can change in 72 hours, apparently. U of L suffered just its second conference road loss under the direction of Pat Kelsey in an […]
Cardinals > Cardinal. Always. Go Cards.
As it has about every other day for the last several weeks, it happened again this Friday morning at my fitness joint. A fellow asked, “Can the Cards beat Duke?” I replied as bluntly as I have all the previous times. “We don’t play Duke. We play Stanford.” Don’t rush it, fans, those Blue Devils […]
He’s restored pride and normalcy to the Louisville men’s basketball program, and now he’s brought home the highest honor a Louisvillian can earn. Pat Kelsey is your 2025 Card Chronicle Person of the Year. Congratulations to the man … now go win a national title and become the first solo back-to-back winner in the award’s […]
Louisville’s top defensive performer from the 2025 season is running it back for 2026. Clev Lubin, who established himself as arguably the second best best edge rusher in the ACC this season, says he’s coming back for one last ride as a Cardinal next season. In his first season after transferring in from Coastal Carolina, […]

There was no New Year’s Day hangover for Louisville today. After a long holiday break they started 2026 the same way they finished 2025 with a big victory. That said, it did take a quarter for the team to assert dominance. Coach Walz said, “First game back after the break so I anticipated a little […]
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, […]
The CAS is growing faster than July kudzu in Yoknapatawpha County. Talking about the Cignetti Adoration Society. It’s not just round here. Checking in with my NYC pal Courthouse the other night to preplan for our annual sojourn to New Orleans for JazzFest, he told me to be sure to root for Indiana. His son, […]
Let’s start the second season off the right way. Go Cards.
We’ve got five worthy finalists, so let’s get to it. Pat Kelsey —Took Louisville to its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2019. —Became the first coach to lead Louisville to multiple wins in an ACC Tournament and an ACC Tournament championship game appearance. —Defeated rivals Kentucky, Cincinnati, Indiana and Memphis State to have Louisville at […]

It appears Louisville will be in need of a defensive coordinator for (at least) the 2026 football season. According to a report from ESPN’s Pete Thamel, U of L defensive coordinator Ron English has informed school officials that he would like to step away for the year. English’s son, Seth, will be playing his final […]
It’s that glorious time of the year again. Please remember that the person of the year does not have to be an actual person (the entire Louisville volleyball team won last year). This isn’t Sports Illustrated, it’s much, much more serious. Here’s a rundown of the winners from previous years: 2007 – Tom Jurich2008 – […]
Never was able to get into “Mad Men” when it started streaming. Seemed kind of forced, artificial almost. But I’m giving it another shot. Have watched first episode. Will advise. It does have me thinking in the context of bowl season about marketing and advertising and PR. And how the future of non-CFP bowls will […]
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 […]

If ever there was an appropriate ending to a seriously disappointing season, and to a meaningless bowl game that was laughably inept for a half then a comedy caravan of absurdly disjointed fauxball in the second, the 2025 Bush’s Boca Raton Bowl of Beans had one. If ever there was a football game that should […]
One last time in 2025. For all the beans. Go Cards.

WHO WILL WE SEE AT RUNNING BACK FOR LOUISVILLE I don’t have any inside sources, but the folks I’ve talked to who do have made it pretty clear that the three top running backs for the Cards are very unlikely to play in the bowl game. I’m still holding out hope that no one announcing […]
Toledo lost nearly all of its staff when Jason Candle left for UConn. They also lost their defensive coordinator to Syracuse, which left them in more of a unique situation than most, as the playcallers on both sides of the ball have left for new jobs. The Rockets haven’t had many players opt out, but […]
