Seedy’s Tuesday Sports Snippets
Instead of twiddling my thumbs in anticipation of a Pat Kelsey presser, which I’m advised by the person in charge of such matters will be/ should be/ might be forthcoming in the near future, I weigh in on some other athletic infused gems from the literally wide world of sports: Our long national nightmare is […]

TERRANCE “TJ” McWILLIAMS #82 Height: 6’0” Weight: 190lb Position: WR Class: RS Junior Hometown: Indianapolis, IN Summary: McWilliams, an Indianapolis native, had made his way up the road the last few years to ‘row the boat’ with the Gophers in Minnesota, but didn’t see a ton of action and was looking for a fresh start […]
Hey, I won a dance contest
I’ve been fortunate to have done many things over the last couple of decades that I never could have imagined doing when I first launched this website. Competing in, and winning, a “celebrity” dance competition might now be at the top of that list. I can’t properly thank everyone involved with Let’s Dance Louisville for […]
‘The Cardinal Countdown: 83 Days Until Kickoff’
DJ WILLIAMS #83 Height: 6’1” Weight: 180lb Position: WR Class: Freshman Hometown: Tampa, FL Summary: For those of us who were here yesterday reading about Payton Cook (thanks for coming back, y’all), the synopsis on Williams could be very similar. Highly touted athlete/prospect with major interest from high major programs (Ole Miss, FSU, Notre Dame) […]

PAYTON COOK #84 Height: 6’1” Weight: 190lb Position: WR Class: Freshman Hometown: Akron, OH Summary: Brohm and staff wanted to go secure some weapons in the high school ranks in 2026, and Cook was high on the list of bolstering up the arsenal. A near consensus four star player, Cook chose the Cards over Miami, […]
‘The Cardinal Countdown: 85 Days Until Kickoff’
JUSTYN REID #85 Height: 6’5” Weight: 260lb Position: TE Class: Senior Hometown: Newnan, GA Summary: When Louisville looked at their tight end room the last couple seasons I think they saw some athletic players who could help them in the run game and occasionally make some offensive plays if put in the right position. Most […]
Crawford Chronicles: Burkman Edition
The first in a series of unknown duration, where former Cardinals reminisce about their days in Crawford Gym, on the tenth anniversary of its demolition. The former Cardinal guard, whom I hadn’t seen for awhile at the JCC where we both work out, was limping toward his favorite elliptical. Roger Burkman. Member of the 1980 […]
‘The Cardinal Countdown: 86 Days Until Kickoff’
JACKSON VOTH #86 Height: 5’11” Weight: 190lb Position: WR Class: Junior Hometown: Cheney, KS Summary: While I’m not certain if this is ‘God’s Plan’, the Drake transfer Jackson Voth is bringing some High IQ football to The Ville in 2026. A bit under the radar in the portal, Voth packed his bags in Des Moines, […]

‘The Cardinal Countdown: 87 Days Until Kickoff’
DYLAN MESMAN #87 Height: 6’5” Weight: 240lb Position: TE Class: RS Sophomore Hometown: Saline, MI Summary: For those “sickos” who can’t get enough Louisville football related news and infromation, Dylan Mesman was a BIG name in the recruiting world a couple years back. Mesman, a high profile recruit, ranked as a four star talent across […]
‘The Cardinal Countdown: 88 Days Until Kickoff’
MONTAVIN QUISENBERRY #88 Height: 5’10” Weight: 180lb Position: WR Class: RS Sophomore Hometown: Danville, KY Summary: In the past few years it seems like calling a wideout a “gadget” receiver has somehow turned into a derogatory term, almost as if they could only do one or two things well that wasn’t good enough to meet the […]

GAVIN WADDELL #89 Height: 6’0” Weight: 180lb Position: WR Class: Freshman Hometown: Rolesville, NC Summary: If you asked Deion Branch what he wanted for Christmas last year, I’d say pretty high on that Santa list was the wideout from Rolesville, Gavin Waddell. The three star prospect did nothing but stack up records at the high […]
A Hoopaholic’s Monday Fret
Saturday was the first of many to come when the warm joy of early spring morphs to unbearable humidity. Really humid. One didn’t need a Temperature Humidity Index to know. Air that inquires, like what am I doing wandering outside when my shirt feels like dank dishrag? The calendar said early June. The weather read […]

‘The Cardinal Countdown: 91 Days Until Kickoff.’
Cardinals History By The Numbers While the January 1st, 1991 Fiesta Bowl victory over Alabama has been well documented, the Cards beatdown of the Tide (34-7) was a nationally recognized win for a program viewed to be on the rise. One of the reasons was due to the quarterback play of Browning Nagle, who threw […]
‘The Cardinal Countdown: 92 Days Until Kickoff.’
Cardinals History By The Numbers Johnny Unitas dropped back against Houston in 1951 and connected on a pass that would land him in the record books. On October 9, 2021, seventy years later, quarterback Malik Cunningham matched Johnny Unitas’ distance on the very first play from scrimmage for the Cards, against Virginia. Cunningham set his […]

BAILEY ABERCROMBIE #93 Height: 6’3” Weight: 285lb Position: DL Class: RS Freshman Hometown: Birmingham, AL Summary: One of the things I love about college football are the “surprise” additions to the team that were already on the roster. What I mean by that are players I was excited about landing during the recruiting cycles who […]
Love the Ones You’re With
Given that his focus is on an upcoming charity dance competition*, Glorious Editor only posted Pat Kelsey’s predictable laudatory comments when official signings were announced. Hint to Glorious Editor, to best prepare, stop watching “Last Tango in Paris” in loop, and check out Deney Terrio videos. Since the Cardinal fans would like a little more […]
‘The Cardinal Countdown: 94 Days Until Kickoff’
DILLON SMITH #94 Height: 6’4” Weight: 285lb Position: DL Class: Sophomore Hometown: Union, KY Summary: Don’t worry Dillion, I would never try and slide in the “high motor” descriptor or refer to you as “sneaky athletic” as those other lazy folks summarizing the team might do. It’s embarrassing frankly, and I’m glad we’re all operating […]
Wednesday afternoon Cardinal news and notes

This is the first time I can remember the […]

Top transfer Milan Momcilovic picks Kentucky over Louisville
Pat Kelsey’s 2026-27 Louisville roster appears to be locked into place … without one last additional piece. Iowa State transfer Milan Momcilovic, the highest-rated available player in the portal by everyone who ranks that sort of thing, has committed to Kentucky. The 6’8 sharp-shooter chose the Cats over Louisville, St. John’s and Arizona, among others. […]
