As you may have already heard here at CSZ, Louisville women’s basketball team will host Michigan on December 12th as part of the Big Ten/ACC Challenge. The last time Louisville faced Michigan was at the YUM Center for the 2nd round of the 2019 NCAA tournament. Here is the recap of that victory. That game…

Born and raised in Louisville. THS, U of L and Sig Ep for life. I appreciate everyday that I wake up. My 2 boys are my greatest accomplishment in life.
I know that every one of you have seen the Honored Jerseys that adorn Cardinal Stadium. I look up at those honored Jerseys every single time I am in that stadium. Often times I find myself reminiscing about the days that some of those guys played. Contrary to popular belief at CSZ, I am not…
On Monday evening, the Louisville Men’s Basketball team held a charity softball game benefiting Jaxen’s Journey (www.Jaxensjourney.com). Jaxen’s Journey is a charity started by UofL strength and conditioning coach Andy Kettler and his wife who lost their son, Jaxen, to brain cancer at the age of two in July 2016. The charity is to help…
Back in January, Dalton Pence and I took our first look at Louisville’s 2021 football schedule and gave your our thoughts and an estimated win percentage of each game in this 2021 Schedule Breakdown. We are now in August and the season is about a month away. It seems the transfers have all moved on…
It’s getting closer and closer to the start of the season. I’m not trying to rush summer away, but after the Covid plagued season of 2020 that had us guessing week to week who would be available to play or even if the other team had enough players to play, Im just a little excited…
You guys know, I do Exit Interviews with willing players when they leave. Most of those interviews depend on reasons for leaving. I didn’t reach out to any of the players who transferred. I only touched base with the three early entrants into the NFL draft. Here are those three interviews. That said we need…
Hello everyone! It’s been a minute since you’ve heard from me. Allow me to explain. You see, since the beginning of the year when I brought you the exit interviews of Tutu, Dez and Javian, I just lost the desire to write. My passion had dissipated. I think not being on the sidelines last season…
This week’s photo gallery is one of re-edits. Many of these pictures did not appear in the original game photo galleries of the game in which they were taken. Some of them did, but not edited. Most of these I edited at a later date. You may recognize some of them that I posted individually…
One thing we at CSZ love to bring you are photo galleries of your favorite Cards and every Cardinal sporting event that we can. Unfortunately, Covid prevented us from photographing most everything this past year or so. However, I was able to photograph a track meet, a softball game and a soccer match. JK was…
Coach Scott Satterfield is set to compete in the 14th annual Peach Bowl Challenge charity golf tournament. He will face off against a field of other current and former head coaches all vying for their share of $320,000 in scholarship and charity. The event will be held May 3 – 4 at Reynolds Lake Oconee…
Normally, around late January to early February, I have a horse I really love and by late April, I know if that horse will win or not. But this isn’t a normal year. A few short weeks ago I was about 90% sure it would come down to just how much Life Is Good would…
If you have never been to a UofL track and field meet, you should attend one soon. It was my first and I really enjoyed the day. I found myself captivated by the pole vault. YOu can catch the Cards at their next home meet, The Clark Wood Open, on April 23rd and 24th at Owsley…
The Cards faced #19/16-ranked Virginia Tech on Saturday for a doubleheader at Ulmer Stadium. The Cards dropped the opening game of a 4-game series on Friday, 0-3. In game one of Saturday’s doubleheader, the Cards could only muster two hits. Despite their lack of hits, they played VT scoreless through 5 innings. But in the…
* Views and comments are all from Jeff Nunn and do not reflect the views of Cardinal Sports Zone or their staff Rick Pitino said a whole lot of things during his time here in Louisville. He was known for his press conferences that were filled with hyperbole. He used those press conferences to…
Louisville football recruiting seems to be headed in the right direction. First, Louisville announces the addition of recruiting coordinator, David Cooper and now they announce the addition of Caroline McMurry as the new director of on-campus recruiting. Cooper comes to Louisville after a stint at Florida where he was assistant director of player personnel. He…
I’m well aware that football season is a long way away but I guess the excitement of spring practice has people talking Cardinal football. I know because I have fielded quite a few questions this week and most pertained to the defense. So I’m going to address some of those questions and talk about a…
The volleyball team hit the court again on Saturday in an exhibition match against Dayton. It was their first time on the court since a 3-1 victory at Pittsburgh (snapping the Panthers’ 37-match home winning streak) on October 25th. This exhibition kicks off the spring portion of the season. Due to Covid, the season was…
We are still about 7 months away from the start of the 2021 football season. So many things can and will change before then but that won’t stop Dalton and I from going over the schedule and telling you what we think might happen. It’s still way too early to give predictions but we will…
I started doing these Exit Interviews a few years ago. The first interviews were of players who chose to transfer. I was curious about what they honestly thought about our University as they exited and wanted to hear some of their favorite memories. It was the equivalent of one last word. Now, this Exit Interview…
Chatarius “Tutu” Atwell came to Louisville from Miami Northwestern high school. Tutu came with all kinds of hype since he played quarterback where another beloved Card, Teddy Bridgewater, played. But Card fans knew he was recruited as an athlete/receiver and wasn’t expected to play QB. It didn’t matter what position he played, fans just…
