Fans’ Starting 5 Jeremy’s Starting 5 Steve’s Starting 5 Daryl’s Starting 5 After thinking about it for a few days, I finally made my votes on the poll. I checked up on the results as the week went on, just to get a feel for how everyone else was voting. That clearly didn’t influence my…

Fans’ Starting 5 Jeremy’s Starting 5 Steve’s Starting 5 Justin’s Starting 5 Point Guard Now this wasn’t an easy choice for me. I’ve always been a ‘guard kind of gal’…if that’s a thing. This is who run’s the offense, my favorite aspect of the game. Some of my first cognitive memories following Cardinal basketball were…
Fans’s Starting 5 Steve’s Starting 5 Daryl’s Starting 5 Justin’s Starting 5 I am gonna start this off by being honest. I went to UofL to finish my Bachelors degree from 05-06 and was around that basketball team 365 since I had so many friends on that team. I may be a little biased. I may not…
First of all, thanks to everyone who voted on this. I think it was a really cool topic to vote on and discuss with other fans. Hopefully we can do more of these in the future. On the results, the % is rounded, so it may not equal exactly 100% for some reason. So without…
Photo courtesy of sportsillustrated.cnn.com On Thursday evening it was announced that Louisville defensive line coach Clint Hurtt would be leaving UofL to be an assistant coach with the Chicago Bears. We wish him nothing but the best in the future. Hurtt posted the following message on his facebook page: “It’s never easy saying bye…
According to Scout.com’s Jason Higdon, Clint Hurtt has left Louisville. There is talk that it could be for an NFL job. We hoped for Hurtt to remain on staff because we know how he can recruit (when allowed to), but now Petrino can bring in his own guy, so it will be fine. We already…
Coach Petrino and his staff are hosting another group of recruits this weekend. These “official visit” weekends are huge for the staff since the coaching change and because National Signing Day is just a couple of weeks away. They have to lock down the guys who were committed to the previous staff as well as…
My friend Chris Tingley posed this question to me a couple of weeks ago, and it is very interesting and fun to talk about. Of all the players that Rick Pitino has coached at the University of Louisville, who would be your starting 5? Now I will say that some players did play multiple positions,…
There is about a 25 year age difference (give or take) so I am not sure how impressive it is. But it is still nice! This happened in the first half of tonight’s game. I honestly think that Earl is just trying to solidify his spot in the Starting 5 of Rick Pitino players at…
I wonder how fans knew what players committed to their favorite teams before social media. Did they just show up to spring practice and see the new faces and figure it out then? Because these days, news travels faster than ever. This is a perfect example. Louisville will get a commitment on Wednesday for this…

We posted an update on wide receiver Desean Blair last night, but as you would expect, there was more news today. Bobby Petrino visited Blair at his high school (Sandalwood) in Jacksonville, Florida. “We talked about school, academics, family, the offense, the defense, his history with good programs, all of that,” Blair said. “I like…
Chris Jones will miss his 3rd straight game on Wednesday with an oblique injury when the Cards (16-3, 5-1) take on South Florida (10-8, 1-4) at 7:00 at the USF Sun Dome. Jones is averaging 11.3 points in 25.4 minutes per game this season. He has 47 assists and 26 turnovers. Freshman Terry Rozier will…
Four-star safety Nilijah Ballew (Cincinnati, OH) took an official visit to Indiana this weekend. He was supposed to be visiting Louisville, but when the new coaching staff first contacted Ballew, they moved his visit date back to the weekend of January 31. So naturally, Ballew had to find other options just in case. It had…
Three-star wide receiver commit Desean Blair (Jacksonville, FL) visited Nebraska this past weekend, and liked what he saw. What stuck out the most? “The facilities, the academics and the staff and players,” Blair said. He is still committed to Louisville and will visit the Cards this coming weekend (Jan. 24). He has said that this…
This week…..on 55….. The tenth episode of 55. Oh how time flies. It seems like it was just yesterday that you were nothing more than just an idea in my head. I just can’t believe how fast you have grown. Before long we will celebrate your 21st. I can’t talk about this right now. Sorry. Moving on. I know…
Louisville football hosted 8 recruits this weekend. Five are commits and three are targets. It is always a big deal when recruits take their official visits, but this one was especially big because it was the first time for Bobby Petrino and his staff to host here at Louisville. So the goal was to keep…
ESPN’s Mark Schlabach released another way-too-early Top 25 for the 2014 college football season. In the last one, the Cards were included. But since the hiring of Bobby Petrino, Louisville has found a way back in at #25. Of course this does not mean much now. It is just something to talk about and give…
Young Russ Smith showing off the handles! Some of this video was shown during the Louisville-UConn game.
Without watching the game for a second time, I will just give my quick analysis and reaction to the Louisville-UConn game. It seems like it is always a close one when we play at UConn and this one was no different. When it looked like the Cards had pulled away, UConn made a late run,…
