Denny Crum's 6th Favorite Website
Louisville will face off against Toledo in the Boca Raton Bowl tomorrow, but it’s anyone’s guess who will be calling the offense and defense for the Rockets. Robert Weiner has been named the interim head coach after Jason Candle headed east to UConn, but Weiner has not been a play-caller in his career. The defense […]
Asked before tipoff if there was some sort of staff connection with Montana that influenced the scheduling of such an outlier, SID Dana Brown advised, “No, they just met the criteria we were looking for.” So on the afternoon of the last shopping Saturday before Feliz Navidad in front of reasonably robust crowd including a […]
In the first month of the season Louisville had some games against top-ranked opponents that they lost because they went flat for a quarter and couldn’t recover. Today the Cards flattened #17 Tennessee in the 4th quarter. In the first half both teams were playing evenly in a fast-paced game full of pressing and aggressive […]
Louisville kicked off the holiday break in style with a 94-54 thumping of Montana Saturday afternoon inside the KFC Yum Center. The Cards dominated inside against their much smaller visitors, out-rebounding the Grizzlies by 23 and out-scoring them by 24 in the paint. Sananda Fru led the charge, scoring a season-high 18 points on 9-of-11 […]
Let’s head into the holidays on a high. Go Cards.

Bienvenue to the folderol bowls. For years I considered the “achievement” of bowl eligibility absurd. A bar to leap of the lowest order. Testament to mediocrity. Then I discovered my man Joey the Vig’s (RIP) Bowl Pool. To realize how having a little skin in the outcome of a December Tuesday afternoon’s Dandy Dave’s Donut […]
If all you saw was the final score you might think this game was a cake-walk but if you actually watched the game you probably want to forget the first half. However as Coach Walz said, “This was probably the first game all year that I’ve seen us look as bad as we did in […]
We’re back to discuss Louisville’s blowout loss at the hands of Tennessee and touch on some football nuggets as well. Direct link here.
Perspective #1: It was universally believed when Rick Pitino was named as Denny Crum’s successor, he would win another national title for U of L. He’d already won one. Been to the Final Four more than once. Coached two different NBA teams. Was generally regarded as one of the best in the biz. Pitino’s first […]
When you have two legitimate Top 20 teams testing each other, it’s never inevitable. But this U of L task in Knoxville against tall favorite Tennessee sure seemed close to that heading in. Well coached top level foe at its sold out home. One whose strength — inside scoring and rebounding — made it a […]
The narrative that Pat Kelsey’s Louisville teams are susceptible to being bullied by more physical opposition isn’t going away. Not after an 83-62 thumping at the hands of big, bad Tennessee Tuesday night in Knoxville. The Cardinals, playing without star freshman point guard Mikel Brown Jr., looked out of sorts from start to finish during […]
This would be a monster victory. Let’s get it. Go Cards.

Isaac Ellis, a three-star combo guard from the class of 2027, has committed to Louisville. The 6’1 junior from North Carolina had previously been committed to South Carolina, but decommitted last month. He committed to U of L while on an unofficial visit to the school over the weekend. Playing for YNG Dreamerz in the […]
Should we have known from Week 0 that this was going to be a schizzy wackowhirl season of epical psychodramatic proportions? I imagine. Recall with me what happened in Dublin when Iowa State bested Kansas State in a Week Zero Battle o’ Erin. The winner of which, one sage — Guilty — predicted would make […]
Every quarter of this game felt like it’s own separate game. In the first quarter both teams went toe to toe and were scoring at a high clip ending at 26-24. Then in the second quarter there were long droughts for both teams and at halftime the score was only 38-33. The third quarter both […]
At Media Day before the season I noticed that still rehabbing Kasean Pryor’s hair was its natural color. Brownish. At least, not blonde. I asked him if he was going to go to the peroxide when he was back to playing? “Maybe.” “It might be a biblical thing,” I suggested, “you know, Samson and his […]
Louisville’s pretty tough to beat on an average shooting night. A good shooting night by the Cards is going to be enough to knock off most teams in the country. An exceptional shooting night by U of L? Well, Memphis State just found out what that looks like. The Cardinals connected on 18 of their […]
Go Cards. Beat State. Go Cards.

Mike and Dan are back to talk a little football, the basketball win over Indiana, and Saturday’s rivalry matchup against Memphis State. Direct link here.
—According to Pete Thamel and Adam Schefter, Louisville WR Chris Bell suffered a torn ACL during the team’s loss at SMU last month. It’s believed to be a clean ACL tear, and Bell is set to have surgery this week with noted surgeon Dr. Dan Cooper in Dallas. Here’s hoping this doesn’t drop Chris out […]
Memory often misfires, then melds and merges. We think we remember something especially resonant. Then check the facts and discover being close but a little off from the timeline. Such as it is today, when sharing my personal favorite U of L over Memphis State memory. Which is why I’m going for a twofer, a […]
