It’s not everyday a dream job opportunity presents itself. So when many of you sent me the job listing from the Courier Journal for a new Louisville football beat writer, I was instantly intrigued. I did my research on the job and all the responsibilities that pertain to the job, and it seems that…

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.
For everyone who stayed home because it was too cold – It really wasn’t cold. It was freezing! But there was a nice little scattered snowfall, and you can see in some of the pictures that it made for a nice wintry effect. Maybe not ideal football weather but they practiced none the less. I…
Well, it’s not a traditional Spring Game. Heck, it’s not really even spring. Or is it? The weather says it’s not. The forecast for Thursday night is around 30 degrees with an 80% chance of a rain/snow mix (hopefully that holds off till later). With the cold weather upon us, I don’t expect many fans…
The 2017-18 version of the Louisville basketball Cardinals finished the regular season at 19-12. They went 1-1 in the ACC tourney. Louisville had no signature wins other than beating #23 Florida State and ended the regular season with the worst beat I have ever seen when they surrendered at 5 point lead with 0.9 seconds…
The 8th ranked Louisville Cardinals played EKU in their home opener for the 2019 season. The temperature was in the low 30’s but it felt much colder. Despite the weather, the Cards managed to defeat the Colonels, 5-1. Starter, Luke Smith, pitched 6 innings in his first start in a Cardinal uniform, giving up 1 unearned…
For the first time ever, the University of Louisville women’s basketball team lost when I was in attendance. Granted, I am only able to make it to 3 or 4 games a year, but still it was a first for me an a very rare occasion for the members of this team. Louisville battled a…
My heart is still hurting a little on this Valentines Day. If yours is not then you must not be a Louisville basketball fan. It’s OK to be hurt but don’t be heartbroken – it’s just 1 game. Blowing a 23 point lead to Duke was probably the toughest loss I have ever witnessed. The…
12 student-athletes signed with the University of Louisville on Wednesday, Feb. 6, the second day of the national signing period, bringing the total to 16 for the 2019 class. On Wednesday evening, Louisville held it’s annual national singing day party at the Brown & Williamson Club inside Cardinal Stadium. The coaches all spoke and talked…
On Thursday, January 31st, the 3rd ranked Louisville Cardinal women’s basketball team squared off with the 2nd ranked UCONN Huskies inside the KFC Yum! Center. For a full recap of the game, click here. TJ Barr and I were both in the house and tried our best to bring you some images that will help…
I think there may be some faux outrage over the cancellation of the Spring Game. It seems there are many people complaining and expressing disappointment in the new coach for not really having a Spring Game even though he kinda is having one. In this day of social media, people notice other people complaining about…
What were your realistic expectations for this years Louisville team prior to the start of the basketball season? NIT? NCAA? Sweet 16? Final Four? I looked at the season from every angle and decided that a trip to the NCAA tournament would be what I consider a good season. I felt that this team had…
It was recently reported that attendance for the University of Louisville’s basketball team is on pace for lowest home attendance average since the 1980-81 season. Coming on the heels of the second straight year of declining attendance for football, people are starting to freak out and question fan loyalty. To that I say, calm down. There…
I know that new head coach, Scott Satterfield, hasn’t even finished completing his staff yet but it’s never too early to look ahead to the opponents he and his new staff will be preparing to face. The ACC has not released the conference schedule that will tell us exactly when Louisville will be playing their…
Here are just a few of the thousands (and thousands) of pictures in the CSZ photo galleries from this past football season and a few from this young basketball season. These are my top ten but yours may be different, so be sure to check out all the galleries and tell us what is your…
David Padgett told Eric Crawford of WDRB that he will be working for ESPN as a color analyst. His first game will be January 6th for the Rhode Island vs Saint Louis game. Louisville is already the number 1 college basketball television market and with a city fan favorite on the call, it definitely won’t hurt…
Quick, name the last head soccer coach before Ken Lolla. What? You don’t know? Why? The reason you don’t know the name Tony Colavecchia, is because Ken Lolla took the program to national prominence. Ken took the Louisville job in Dec. of 2005 and put them on the map. The Cardinals first qualified for the…
With the naming of a new Louisville football coach, there comes a lot of expectations. Most expectations are unrealistic, but our fandom requires us to yearn for success. And we want that success to happen quickly. Let’s be honest for a minute. Scott Satterfield, Jeff Brohm, Nick Saban or whoever you choose, is not going…
After 24 hours of wondering if Louisville’s own would return home, we now know the answer. Jeff Brohm chose to honor his commitment to Purdue and to the players he recruited. I’m not gonna lie, this one stings a bit but I respect him more for staying.
Well, Mercifully, this season is over. No reason to try and place blame on coaches, players, fans, administration or even Kragthorpe. It’s hard to hear or accept it but Louisville has hit rock bottom. No need to hang your heads and complain because things are about to get a lot better. We, as fans,…
There was a different energy in the air at Cardinal Stadium on Saturday. A feeling of hope and optimism. A feeling that had been missing all season. Then the game started. The crowd was loud and the team was fired up. Energy – passion – excitement – fun. Louisville held N.C. State on the game’s…
