Jeff Brohm: Jordan Geurad and KeyJuan Brown: Chris Barclay: Jeff Brohm Quotes: Opening Statement “Ready for a tough football game this Friday night. Great opportunity to play a really good football game. A ton of talent, a lot of history, great coaching. It will be a tough matchup for us. We have to prepare well […]
Let’s jump right into some of the key plays from the first quarter. Cal’s first play of the game gave us all evidence that they would be doing anything and everything on offense to get chunk plays. They didn’t likely know it at the time, but the Cards were in for a Cal game plan […]
It’s that binary time of the year. When we try again to watch football with one eye, basketball with the other. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Oh for the days of picture in picture. OK, not really. There are laptops and iPads and phone apps, and we seem to be able to manage. First, football. […]

Much like the UConn game Louisville started off flat and fell behind early in the game. Luckily they were playing Northern Kentucky instead of UConn so even though NKU was a formidable opponent they didn’t create enough separation that the Cards weren’t able to overcome it when things finally got rolling in the second half. […]
I played but a single year of organized football, as a JV DL at Atherton HS. More than a half century ago, when players wore hip and knee pads and helmets that were a concussion waiting to happen, in the age of the Straight T-Formation, when they still gave us salt tablets in the August […]

For the first time since his 2017 firing, former Louisville athletic director Tom Jurich will return to the Derby City for a Cardinal sporting event.

LOUISVILLE’S PASSING GAME COULD BE BOOM OR BUST The Cards have struggled to pass the ball for most of the season, with teams consistently bringing pressure to make things harder for Miller Moss. You can go all the way back to the James Madison game to find defenses bringing five or six rushers in passing […]
Two exhibition seasons in — one literal, one figurative — and, like 99 44/100% of the programs in the land, the University of Louisville has a few things figured out, and a lot more questions left to find answers to. The latest laboratory work performed Thursday night concluded with a 106-70 taming of the Tigers […]
The Louisville men’s basketball team hit the century mark in back-to-back games for the first time since 2010 as they rolled to a 106-70 win over Jackson State Thursday night inside the KFC Yum Center. It’s the first time the Cardinals have ever started a season with consecutive triple digit offensive outputs. While the overall […]
Duke Watson and Stanquan Clark back in the same week? It could happen. Here’s the first injury report of the week for both Louisville and Cal, which will be without leading tackler Cade Uluave, who was injured in last week’s loss to Virginia. Louisville Cardinals OUT QUESTIONABLE PROBABLE Cal Golden Bears OUT PROBABLE

Justin Wilcox made his career as a high-level defensive coordinator before taking over in Berkeley. His tenure started out okay, but the fanbase is starting to get a little restless after five straight losing seasons. His 2025 defense isn’t really the issue, but it hasn’t helped much in the goal of getting over the hump […]
We’d be remiss if we didn’t start today with an acknowledgement of what transpired in the city last night. Seeing UPS planes on a daily basis and taking pride in a global shipping company residing in our city is in the DNA of each and every Louisvillian. Virtually everyone in this city has spent time […]
It didn’t take long for my winning streak to evaporate. Tulane’s Green Wave fell at the Alamo midweek. An omen before I was even able to greet anyone with “Joyeaux la veille de la Toussaint.” The script was written. I didn’t need any admonition from Father Brennan, something like, “You’ll see me in hell, Seedy, […]
No team has been talked about more after hot starts in the ACC over the last two years than Cal has. Last season, they raced to a 3-0 start before losing four straight games by about 10 total points. This season, they started off 3-0 again before being dominated by San Diego State 34-0. The […]
The good news is that we begin yet another exciting Louisville women’s basketball season! The bad news is that it was against the defending national champions UConn who seemed to have picked up where they left off last year. Unfortunately the Cards followed a pattern that seems consistent when they’ve played the Huskies over the […]
It’s the first week of November. College football’s regular season is 2/3 of the way through. And the Louisville Cardinals are squarely in the College Football Playoff mix. U of L checked in at No. 15 in the first CFP rankings, which were released Tuesday night on ESPN. The Cardinals are the second highest-ranked team […]
—Spread check (football): Louisville by 19.5 —It’s opening night for the Louisville women’s basketball team, which faces reigning national champion and preseason No. 1 UConn in Annapolis. Here’s a preview. —The Athletic’s Austin Mock projects that Louisville will be No. 12 in the first College Football Playoff rankings, which will be released tonight at 8. […]
(Opening statement) “First I’d like to say that it was great to have a great crowd at our away game at Virginia Tech. I thought our team saw them and could notice them, and it was a great turnout. [The fans] were into the game. They definitely showed out, just like they did at the […]
I want to dive into the difference between the American goal tending/ basket interference rule and that for the rest of the globe. That was in play in the singular “controversial” moment of U of L’s draw and quartering of South Carolina State, 104-45. Because there wasn’t much tension after this: On the Cards’ opening […]
