Oh it’s cold, so cold #cardnation.. It usually is this time of the year. But of course I want to talk about basketball. Louisville basketball in January tends to leave me scratching my head. I’m trying to wrap my brain around the stunner yesterday and mentally prepare myself, and hopefully you #cardnation, for the next…

It happened. Face it, deal with it, and then move on to UNC. Go Cards!
On our latest show on 93.9 The Ville, we started off weird. We opened with uk and had Cal accurately predict a loss to Kansas. Good ole J.R. (Justin Renck, no relation to Jim Ross) had to leave but business picked up when we welcomed Howie Lindsey, host of the Howie Lindsey show, M-F from 10-12 on…
Buckle up…here we go! Louisville (17-3, 6-1) is about to enter a crazy stretch of basketball games against ranked teams, with a little Boston College thrown in there for good balance. It starts today as the Virginia Cavaliers (16-4, 5-3) are in town and trying to stay in the ACC race. Usually when there are…

Video from TheCrunchZone.com Opening statement It’s a big weekend, obviously, with two highly ranked teams and well-coached teams coming in here.

It’s GAMEDAY! At least it will be tomorrow morning when the CSZ radio show hits the 93.9 airwaves. If you are like us, you are going to wake up excited for the Cards’ “White Out” game against #11 Virginia. What better way to get ready than turning on 93.9 The Ville and spending the 10…
National Signing Day for college football is Wednesday, February 3, meaning that this is the final weekend of official visits for recruits before they sign the dotted line and choose where they will be attending school. In other words, this is a HUGE weekend for programs across the country, and Louisville is no exception. The…
If you don’t like this team, well then I just don’t have many words for you. After the UofL women destroyed Clemson on Thursday night, Trey Lewis and Mangok Mathiang made an unexpected appearance at the podium. Just another example of how these guys really get along and like each other. Team chemistry is important…
This is just a friendly reminder that the men’s basketball game against Virginia on Saturday is a “white out”. Meaning? Wear white if you will be at the game. Obviously, the team will also be wearing white, but they will be in these “iced out” uniforms.

Let’s get this out of the way early. Darrell Griffith never played in the ACC. It’s fine. He can still be considered a legend of the conference. Just accept it. And that is what will happen. Griff is one of 14 players and one coach that will be honored during this year’s ACC Tournament. The…
As I was watching the game last night, I kept seeing a Virginia Tech player with the name “Blackshear” on his jersey, and all I could think about was the GOAT (that’s greatest of all time for those who aren’t quite as hip with today’s lingo) Blackshear, the one that truly made it “Wayne” (I…
Louisville went on the road Wednesday night and got the 91-83 win over Virginia Tech. Here is what Coach Pitino had to say after the game. Opening statement (Virginia Tech Buzz Williams) would make a great pro coach. I’m not trying to get rid of him. But he’d make a great pro coach because he…

The Louisville Cardinals (16-3, 5-1) hit the road on Wednesday night and take on the Virginia Tech Hokies (12-8, 4-3), coached by Buzz Williams, pictured above doing an incredible Buzz Kick.
