Transparency in reportage: I wasn’t in the Yum! to cover the Thanksgiving Eve Cardinals game. Several reasons. 9:00 Tip off was at my normal bedtime. The game was against a Bottom Ten ranked school. Driving home late at night on one of the biggest bar nights of the year is not optimal for an old […]

To fill airtime during fallow sports times of the year, ESPN does this Ocho thing. “Sports” you’ve never heard of, or even conceptualized. How far up on a roof you can throw a beanbag, and some such. Stuff you made up in your backyard after school when you and your best pal were nine years […]

This started like the kind of affair the Cardinals have played many times through the years. After a big road W, a generally mundane let-down effort against an overmatched foe during the holidays, when a lot of fans stayed home to make some sweet potato pie. Early on, the team’s focus was less than. Missed […]

Just when you though the football season couldn’t possibly be more over, we hit a new rock bottom. And the scariest part about that is there’s still a Governor’s Cup to play for against a less than impressive Kentucky team. It could still get oh so much worse. I think the question we should start […]

Louisville played a pretty solid game for three quarters. Unfortunately after a spirited first half that ended with the Cards down 2 (35-37) they seemed to come out flat to start the second half. They only scored 6 points in the third quarter and despite some good runs in the fourth quarter they could never […]

Woeful as my prognostications have been this season — mediocrity in microcosm — never have I been as sure about the outcome beforehand, as I was in advance of Louisville heading to Dallas to take on SMU. This. Was. Inevitable. Were I a betting man — which I am not — I would have gone […]

Hunch feeling. That this 74-64 grind it out victory in the 101st game against Cincinnati will prove to be more meaningful as the season progresses. Many of U of L’s gnawing issue were again exposed. And overcome against a pesky Bearcat squad, though the flaws remain to be worked around. Important, it says here, was […]

Once that play ended, the chance of this season reaching its goal went away. The focus of this coaching staff should shift to next […]

Time’s reputation for distorting the past is well established and equally deserved. It’s so good at what it does that at some point in every person’s life they begin to doubt – to some degree at least – the validity of their own memories. I bring this up because in my surely flawed mind, 90 […]
