By Justin Renck: Former Louisville Cardinal Jared Swopshire is fitting in very well in his new home as a Northwestern Wildcat. Although the team is 11-8 and only 2-4 in the Big Ten, Swopshire is making the most of his minutes. Speaking of minutes, he has played 610 minutes this season, compared to 509 in all…
By Justin Renck: On Wednesday afternoon, Charlie Strong’s new contract was approved, and the head coach got a nice little raise! The University of Louisville Athletic Association (ULAA) approved a contract that will pay Strong $3.7 million per year (before incentives), making him the 7th highest paid head coach in the country behind Nick Saban (Alabama), Mack…
By Justin Renck: Trinity High School star defensive end Jason Hatcher, who committed to USC on July 27, made big news on twitter last night. We at CSZ have been expecting it to happen for quite a while, but last night he made it official and he de-committed from USC. His tweet said “I official de-committed from USC…
By Justin Renck: Villanova 73- Louisville 64 It’s been a while since I have had a post-game write-up. I figured I would come back and do one tonight after a Cards victory, and by the looks of it, I had plenty of things to write about. Wayne’s shooting, Stephan Van Treese sparking a 1st half run, Gorgui finding…
By Justin Renck: One of the visitors in town this past weekend was Charles “Chucky” Williams, a 3* athlete/safety from Hialeah, FL who was committed to Ole Miss. He must have enjoyed his visit, because according to his coach, Williams has now flipped his committment to the Louisville Cardinals!

Rozier and Gill are teammates at Hargrave Military Academy, a prep school…
By Paige Sherrard: Louisville has their hands full with the #6 ranked Syracuse Orange. Ranked number one, the CARDS have a target on their back. Could the Orange hit the bulls eye and knock the CARDS off?? Or will the CARDS shut down Syracuse’s leading shooters, Michael Carter-Williams, averaging 11.9 points per game and Brandon…
By Justin Renck: What better day to post an interview with Kyle Kuric, than on Louisville vs Syracuse day! We all remember when Kuric made his name as a Louisville Cardinal in the final game at Freedom Hall in 2010 against #1 Syracuse. So today just seems appropriate for this. I wanted to catch up…
By Justin Renck: When I think of UofL-Syracuse, the first thing that comes to mind was the final game at Freedom Hall, or the “Kyle Kuric show”. It is kind of weird to even think that before this game, Kuric was never really a main player for UofL. He was ending his sophomore year and only averaging…
By Justin Renck: By now, you have probably heard “You Don’t Want These Cards” by B Simm. It was the football anthem all season at UofL home games. Now there is a basketball version! The video is just a teaser. Below are the links for the full version on itunes. Go Cards!
By Justin Renck: On Friday night, we had our first episode of “The Cardinal Pulse” with members of Cardinal Sports Zone along with Jon Hancock of kentuckysports.co. We will have it up on youtube soon and able to watch from the site, but until then, you can just click the link and watch from there!…
By Justin Renck: Well it isn’t quite the ACC just yet! The 2013 football schedule for the Cards is not very attractive when it comes to marquee matchups. My attitude, however, is always that I go to watch the Cards, no matter who the other team is. Yes, it will be nice when we get…
By Justin Renck: No matter who wins in this weekend’s NFL playoffs and makes it to the Super Bowl and wins that, the Louisville Cardinals will have a player that gets a Super Bowl ring this year. Why? Because of the final four teams remaining, there is a former Card on each team! Here is the…
By Justin Renck: On Thursday afternoon, the MLS held its SuperDraft in Indianapolis, IN. There are 2 rounds, and only 38 picks, and the Louisville Cardinals had 3 former players selected! They had the 1st and last pick, and 1 in between!
By Justin Renck: We always see the big time football and basketball recruits make a big deal about where they are going to college. They even get on TV just to choose where they commit to, and some may not even sign there eventually! So why can’t a volleyball recruit do the same? Well, that…
By Justin Renck: Here are highlights from VillenHD from the Louisville-UConn game on Monday night!
