Denny Crum's 6th Favorite Website
If every night this season for the Louisville men’s basketball team goes the way night one did … well, the Cards are going to win every game they play by 59 points. That was the final margin on Monday evening as U of L trounced visiting South Carolina State, 104-45, in what was the sixth-largest […]
It’s night one of what we all hope is a special five-month journey. Let’s start it off the right way. Go Cards.
Yes, kids it’s a journey in the Wayback Machine for what has to be the theme music for this year’s cutthroat college football season. Bono stomping back and forth across the proscenium in the early days of both U2 and MTV, when it was actually, like, really, music television. Sunday Bloody Sunday indeed. Week after […]
It’s been just 12 months since I wrote and talked incessantly about the desire for the Louisville men’s basketball program to return to a state of normalcy. It might as well have been 12 years ago. “The Revivalists” will be remembered forever. Of this I have no doubt. The group won 27 games — more […]

It was 8:16 am EST in Louisville, Kentucky, the forever and always epicenter of college basketball adoration. My coffee still brewing in the Mueller. In Rock Hill, South Carolina, the game clock read 13:38, and on the hardwood the home standing Winthrop Eagles led the visiting ASun favorite Queens Royals, 10-5. (I envisioned a hyperventilating […]

The Cards are now the second-highest ranked team in the ACC, behind only the one team that has knocked them off this season. The first College Football Playoff rankings of the season will be out Tuesday night. Here’s this week’s AP Poll. Others receiving votes: Iowa 71, JMU 53, Pittsburgh 35, SDSU 30, North Texas 27, USF 23, SMU 7, Houston […]
This win, while feeling extra familiar, still tastes oh so sweet. Louisville began the game pretty much as expected. We got Vah Tech’s offense off the field in short order and then Isaac Brown rushed for an easy 52 yd score after gaining 10 yds on his first play from scrimmage. But that would be […]
In this the home of United Parcel Service, there is really but one appropriate inquiry to be made in the aftermath of another slog of a Louisville victory against a significantly lesser foe. That would be interimly-coached Virginia Tech, 28-16. Rhetorical as it may be, the question: “What can Brown do for you?” The obvious […]
This has the potential to be one of the more memorable months in Louisville football history. Let’s start it off the right way. Go Cards.

Louisville allowed Boston College to make this game much closer than it ever should have been. They started the fourth quarter with a clear opportunity to put the game away but it took until the two mintue warning to do so. Louisville played down to it’s competition but they avoided a true letdown game. Not […]
LOUISVILLE SHOULD HAVE AN AGGRESSIVE GAME PLAN ON DEFENSE Virginia Tech has one of the more inconsistent offenses in the country. This is mostly due to the erratic play of Kyron Drones at quarterback, who has a tendency to be inaccurate as a passer and ineffective as a runner. However, Drones can turn it on […]
Louisville started the second half with an opportunity to extend the lead and run away with the game, but turnovers became an issue. The Cards’ defense also stepped up to keep BC at arm’s length. Let’s look at some of the plays from the third quarter. Isaac Brown has a fumbling issue, but I’m actually […]
The most wonderful time of the year is (sort of) here. Also, very happy to announce that the CC Podcast is now powered by LG&E. Direct link here.
The Virginia Tech football program was built on defense under Frank Beamer and Bud Foster. The defense has fallen off after the Beamer regime ended, and the Hokies’ identity doesn’t seem to have the same blue-collar mentality Beamer built in Blacksburg. Brent Pry went with an NFL hire for his new defensive coordinator this year, […]
Louisville got things going in the second quarter with some big plays on offense and a few stops on defense. The Cards finished the half by extending the lead with the hopes of putting the game away early in the second half. This is a complete bust by the defense. Multiple players end up not […]
Their knock is like nobody’s else’s. Especially at 1:39 in the morning. The polizei I’m talking about. Sure enough, when I answered, there was police badge 714 staring me in the face. “Mr. K, I’m Detective Joe Friday. This is my sidekick, Officer Bill Gannon. “Our Fraud squad has been alerted by someone who identified […]
On Friday night, kids across the city of Louisville will line the streets and celebrate what is widely acknowledged as the zenith of autumn. Less than 24 hours later, on the first day of November, the Louisville football team will play a game at Virginia Tech that matters on every conceptual level. In the midst […]
Virginia Tech made the classic mistake of not firing its coach last season, which led the folks in charge to have to fire him three games into this season. Brent Pry couldn’t get over the hump during his time in Blacksburg, and his team looked overmatched in each game to start the season. Phillip Montgomery […]
It is obvious from the final moments of Louisville’s second and final tuneup/ exhibition that the doomsayers aplenty among the Cardinal fanbase were correct. Matters seem dire for the heralded Cards. I mean, c’mon, U of L got within a trey of triple digits with 03:14 of action left on a Kobe Rodgers J in […]
Just four nights after a disappointing shooting performance against Kansas, the Louisville men’s basketball team gave its fan base a better sense of what it can expect the team to do from the outside in the months ahead. The Cardinals connected on 23 of 46 attempts from three on their way to a 99-76 win […]
Go Cards.
Louisville took on Boston College last weekend at home with the goal of not having a letdown game like Jeff Brohm has had in the past. They beat Miami, in part, because they schemed up an aggressive game plan on both sides of the ball. Brohm used creative formations and play calls to put Miami […]
