We searched Twitter for some Tweets from people who were former players, teammates, coaches, famous and then at the end someone who has thought a lot of this kid for awhile. Hope you enjoy! @BigTicket73 congrats Lil bro! Keep ya head down and ride out! #L1C4 — Bilal Powell (@bilalpowell29) April 24, 2020 Mekhi Becton…
We at CSZ could not be more proud of Mekhi Becton. This young man is a great example of how hard work, determination and persistence can take you anywhere. We have all heard the stories of him getting to campus and being in awful shape. But it was this young mans personality and the things…
Press Release LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The University of Louisville Athletics Department has adjusted numerous ticket and donation options for the 2020-21 season if the athletic calendar is affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. As the pandemic continues to cause uncertainty surrounding the start of UofL athletic calendar, the Cardinal Athletic Fund has announced that if the…
I absolutely love the premise of the FCA. I know it is not for everyone, but it is something that I love. I was a part of the FCA when I was on campus back in the day. There’s a lot of people responsible for making FCA a great place. The person that I have…
Louisville fans all know who Mekhi Becton is. He’s a 6’7 369 lbs OT who has an even bigger personality. The Big Ticket is a irresistible force on the offensive line. His power allows him to throw 260 lbs men around like rag dolls. His footwork and quickness allow him to stonewall speed rushers and…
Mekhi Becton may not be playing on Saturdays anymore but he will be a Louisville Cardinal forever. All of us at Cardinal Sports Zone are thankful for his time here and will continue to support him no matter what NFL team selects him tonight. Here are a few of the moments we captured over the…
In a time that feels uncertain hour to hour and day to day, the one thing that is certain is how much America is missing sports. We are craving that escape more than ever and with the likelihood of fall sports starting on time diminishing every day, I wanted to take a look back…
Since we had some down time this month our producer Daniel Spencer finally had time to get our episodes all converted to buzzsprout from Hallaboutsports. Shout out to B Hall. The final two episodes to be brought over was our New Years episode and our pre Bowl game episode with Cardinal great Lorenzo Mauldin! Take…
In mid December, 2019, just two weeks before the Cards took on Mississippi State in the Music City Bowl, coach Satterfield announced the team awards at the 2019 Football Celebration. When Coach Satterfield arrived at Louisville he found, “a group of players who were down, but eager to win.” He spent months, as he says,…
As of today, we are not sure when the 2020 college football season will be played. I’m overly confident that it will be played. It may not start as scheduled or even be a 12 game season, but I’m confident we will see something that will be titled, the 2020-21 college football season. When the…
Earlier this year, Louisville announced that it would be participating in the 2020 MGM Resorts Main Event. It is a four team tournament held in Las Vegas over Thanksgiving weekend. (CSZ Story Link) Last month, it was reported that Arkansas, San Francisco, and Colorado State would be joining the Cards in Vegas with matchups TBD.
The 2019-20 basketball season is one that will not soon be forgotten. Usually unforgettable seasons end with a championship, like 2013 (the only one I was alive for). Or for less positive reasons like the 15-16 season that ended in a self-imposed post-season ban. 19-20 will stand alone in our memories as the season that…
Lamar Jackson had a spectacular sophomore season for the Baltimore Ravens in 2019. He completed 66.1 percent of his passes for 3127 yards and 36 touchdowns while only throwing 6 interceptions. Really good passing numbers. However, he also rushed for 1206 yards and 7 touchdowns. Jackson put together one of the most incredible seasons a…
Darius Perry had announced on Twitter a while ago his intention to enter the transfer portal as a grad transfer. It was a move some expected, but it was still hard to see the junior move on. The speculation about where he might end up was interesting. Some believed he may go back to his…
One thing that I know we can all agree on is great content. Troy Beckman from the Louisville Men’s Basketball Video Production team has given us just that.

Here are my top 10 captures from the 2019 football season. A really enjoyable season that ended with a 38 – 28 Music City Bowl victory over Mississippi State. It’s really hard to just pick 10 because each moment is special in its own way. They are numbered 10 – 1 but in reality there…
