Over the past eight years, Louisville’s defensive rankings have been going the wrong direction. In my opinion, Louisville hit rock bottom in the 2018-19 season where they finished ranked 122 out of 129 division 1 schools. Just five seasons prior, Louisville finished the season in the number one spot. What was the reason for the…

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…
There’s a very special UofL fan that needs your help. She has no voice, for she cannot talk. She cannot get up and get what she wants, for she cannot walk. She cannot even really move and she is fed through a feeding tube. She cannot regulate her own body temperature or her sodium or…
Most of you have heard that the Big 12 conference has begun research into expanding from 10 teams to possibly 12 or 14. Pretty soon there will just be the power 5 conferences and then everybody else. What if Louisville was one of those left out of the power 5? Where would we be and…
As you probably seen yesterday, the NFL released a list of the top 16 college coaches who were the best at developing NFL talent. I admit, I dropped the ball when it comes to sharing this story because I didn’t think many people would care even though I did. I spent the rest of…
I heard the news as announced on the 93.9 ESPN radio show, Mid-day with Marques Maybin by guest host Steve Rummage on Thursday, April 14th, that Bobby Petrino received a contract extension running through the 2023 season. To me, the duration of the contract didn’t matter because Bobby said that this was his ” destination…
My love affair with the University of Louisville and our athletic department started at an early age. My family moved to Elizabethtown, KY when my dad retired from the US Army around the time I was entering the 6th grade. Having lived the majority of my life in Germany, I had never really experienced college…
Michaelee Harris came to the University of Louisville for Charlie Strong’s FIRST season as head coach back in 2010. He still has one year of eligibility remaining, and he will use that at Akron in 2015. Countless knee injuries have led to Harris having a sixth year of eligibility. CONFIRMED: Former UofL WR Michaelee Harris…
Tom Fornelli is a college football writer for CBSsports.com and recently listed five teams that he thinks can make serious runs to win their conference in 2015. The team that he thinks has the best shot out of his five? The Louisville Cardinals.

Petrino photo: Tim Haag/CardinalSportsZone.com Strong photo: livestream7.com The Louisville Cardinals had a school record 10 players selected in this past weekend’s NFL Draft. They had the second most of any team, behind Florida State’s 11 picks. Regardless, that looks great for the program. But who do you think should get the most credit? The guy…
Congratulations to former Louisville and Trinity quarterback Will Stein, who will be continuing his coaching career at the University of Texas with Coach Charlie Strong as a graduate assistant. Stein tweeted the following message last night.
Brace yourself for this. A Charlie Strong-coached team has been accused of running the score up. Apparently, that is what the Cards were doing to Miami in the Russell Athletic Bowl last season, according to cornerback Corn Elder. The following comes from the rest of the article on CanesWatch.com. “Honestly, I remember them trying to…
When the Vegas odds came out that Charlie Strong was the 2-1 favorite to land the head coaching job at Texas, I laughed. I said there was no way that would happen. He may leave someday, but Texas is not the place for him. He had turned down Tennessee, we were heading into the ACC,…
Kevin Ryan of 247 Sports released a Top 10 for new coaching hires from this off-season. The rankings are based on “past performance, fit at the new school, possibility of future success, and other criteria.” Bobby Petrino was ranked as the 4th best hire. What sticks out if you look at the list is who…
We all knew watching Calvin Pryor last year that this wasn’t your average Safety. Over and over Pryor would make plays, whether a one handed INT or a monster hit, that would leave us speechless. While we knew he was special I don’t know that anyone grasp just how good Pryor may be. Upon arriving…
Well Teddy dominated the first Camps session for the Minnesota Vikings like we all expected. I’d say there will be a few GM’s that wont be listening to Mike Mayok’s advice next season.
Well this video just has everything. Great job by “tatville.” The football Cardinal logo moving his legs, Teddy Bridgewater, Ralph Dawkins, HENRY MILLER, Brian Brohm, and more. Pretty much most of the best plays in the history of Louisville football. Not much else to say about this one, but enjoy!
Former USC quarterback Max Wittek is a name that we have been hearing for months now. He is transferring from Southern California and the main schools he has been considering are Louisville, Texas, and Hawaii. With Louisville and Texas being two of those, obviously this was of interest. Speaking of that, why don’t more kids consider…
Remember the guy that didn’t really care for much media attention while here at Louisville? Not that there was much media responsibility anyway, but it just wasn’t his thing. For his hour long radio show once per week, he would usually do about half of it and then let another coach handle the rest. Surely…
