On a very windy Tuesday night at Jim Patterson Stadium, the ball was flying out but just not as much for the Cards. The Bisons hit 4 homers and the Cards only hit 1 – by Logan Beard, who was 3 for 3 on the night with three RBI’s. In the end, the ninth-ranked Cards…

Kenny Payne & Co. has now capped off the biggest recruiting week in the program’s history after securing his third commitment of the week in 5 star Guard/Forward, Trentyn Flowers. The North Carolina native ranks 21st in the class of 2024 but announced he will reclassify into 2023. Flowers committed to Louisville over UNC, Creighton,…
It took numerous season’s, but the colossal black cloud of the IARP/NCAA has finally gone away from the University of Louisville basketball program and blue skies are seemingly ahead. Just days after landing 5 star big man Dennis Evans, Kenny Payne has struck big again. This time, landing his first commit through the transfer portal…
In January of 2021, the University of Louisville announced that Louisville alum (’94), Lance McGarvey, was selected as the University of Louisville’s public address announcer for the men’s basketball games at the YUM Center. Lance would be replacing Sean Moth who resigned after being the voice of the Cards for 21 years. Lance was…
(Photo courtesy of Fox 9 KMSP) KENNY PAYNE LANDS SECOND HIGHEST RANKED RECRUIT IN UOFL’S HISTORY Kenny Payne has hit large (literally) in landing his first ever top 20 recruit as head coach of the Louisville Cardinals. Ranked 11th in Rivals 2023 recruiting rankings and 18th in 24/7Sports (#2 Center), Dennis Evans is arguably the…
It didn’t go exactly as we all had hoped. It was so far off script that even the frisbee catching dog that performed at halftime stopped and pooped on the court (no photos available). With about 9 minutes left, the Cards trailed by three and had a ton of momentum. Then Tech called a time…
On a very windy, warm Wednesday afternoon, the Cards hosted Xavier University at Jim Patterson Stadium. Both teams took advantage of the windy conditions as they combined for 7 home runs, a total of 20 runs scored, and 32 hits. Not a great day to be a pitcher. In the end, the Cards won 12-8….
On Tuesday night, the Cards hosted conference foe Syracuse at the KFC YUM! Center. We saw the Cards play a much better brand of basketball. Things just felt different from the start. Kamari Lands got the start over Jae’Lyn Withers and the Cards played inspired with a little more confidence. They moved the ball very…
I just want to start this by saying thank you to Malik Cunningham. When I started covering Louisville sports for Cardinal Sports Zone, I was attending a football practice and a member of Bobby Petrino’s staff said to myself and a few others assembled that they had just received a verbal commitment from a kid…
If you were not inside the YUM Center on Saturday you missed one of the best comebacks in Cardinal sports history. For me, the Miracle On Main will always be the best comeback ever (because of the amount of points they trailed by) but this Regional Finals match against Oregon will rank second on my…
I’m going to go ahead and throw some names out there. You don’t have to like or agree with any of these, but these are the names that I feel AD Josh Heird will look closely at as possible candidates to be the next Louisville football coach. I truly don’t have a definite favorite right…
Louisville Volleyball started their run back to a 2nd consecutive Final Four on Friday night inside L&N arena. The Cards took care of Samford rather quickly sweeping the Bulldogs 25-9, 25-13 and 25-12. The reward was a rematch against Purdue on the very next evening (Saturday). The Cards swept the then #9 ranked Boilermakers back…
It didn’t end liked we all had hoped but the gap has definitely narrowed. We all know this series goes in streaks. Cards have been on the wrong end the last 4 years but the future looks bright. If you go back to 1995, Louisville won 2 in a row, then UK won 2 in…
Jeremy Wahman Louisville 27 – UK 20 It takes Malik a minute to get back into the flow of things. Hopefully not as long a it took the Cards to get back into the top 25. The Cards impose their running game on uk & our front 7 forces the Blue Jean SmurfTurd, or as…
Saturday at Cardinal stadium was the final home game for 19 seniors. And there is nothing better than sending them off with a victory. It wasn’t the prettiest game I’ve ever seen but the defense stepped up again and secured the W. Full game recap HERE Photo gallery below…
Jeremy Wahman Louisville 24 – State 21 Malik is doubtful so I’m gonna go 24-21 Cards as long as the defense balls out. Jeff Nunn Louisville 21 – State 17 NC State isn’t great offensively but defensively they have been dominant against the run, ranking 9th in the country. I don’t think Doman can win…
As I scroll through social media, I am almost embarrassed for some of you in your responses to the struggles of this Louisville basketball team. You have every right as a fan to be frustrated and to want better for your team. Thats just part of being so invested in your team. It hurts to…
Jeremy Wahman Louisville 34 – Clemson 24 This is a game that could change the course for Louisville Football. I’ve preached consistency all season. We’ve got that. I’ve seen the run defense struggles they have. We have a monster rb Corp. Their qb is shaky against pressure & we have a squad that can bring…
Jeremy Wahman Louisville 48 – JMU 17 I think the Cards do allow some garbage time points but at the end of the day the Cards remind JMU what conference they play in. This has beat down written all over it. The consistency is there & I’m ready to let go of my worries. Defense…
On Saturday at Cardinal Stadium, the 10th ranked Wake Forest Demon Deacons came to town trying to secure their 7th win on the season. Things didn’t go exactly how the Deacons planned. The Cards won 48-21 in front of a crowd of 39,500 that sounded more like 75,000. It was a great day to be…
