I’ll be the first to admit that I thought something like last night could never have happened at Louisville. Sure, one could create a super-athlete on an NCAA Football video game and win multiple Heisman’s at Louisville, giving a cool passing thought of, “It’ll be nice when Louisville has a Heisman Trophy winner.” But I never thought I would see the…

In the shock of the season, the Kentucky Wildcats came into Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium a 26.5 point underdog, but left victors of the Battle for Governor’s Cup by a final score of 41-38. With barely over a minute to go, the Cardinal offense had the ball at the UK 9-yard line and it appeared…
Sometimes it’s not how great you are but rather what year you are great. It’s my opinion that Lamar Jackson will easily win the Heisman trophy and if not for Lamar then Deshaun Watson would win. Sorry Deshaun, you were born in the wrong year. Another obstacle that hindered his chances were expectations. He had…
Where to Watch: 8:00 ET Tonight, ESPN Betting Line: LOU -14.5, O/U 68.5 Last Time: In a tight contest throughout, Houston forced four turnovers in the game and got a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown to upset Louisville 34-31. Greg Ward had 334 total yards (236 passing, 98 rushing) and three touchdowns to lead the Cougars,…
We are officially halfway through the season, and Louisville has surpassed all expectations and become a legitimate College Football Playoff contender. However, Louisville may – or may not – need some help down the road to complete its first ever playoff bid. And with only four teams entering the playoff, the air is going to get incredibly thin at the…
Before this football season started we as Louisville fans had high expectations. We heard Robert Patrick Petrino say the goal was to win a national championship and he wanted to get back to lighting up the scoreboard. Petrino’s words did nothing to temper expectations. Most realistic Louisville fans knew that winning a national championship was…
Duke’s coach, David Cutcliffe, is very impressed with Louisville. He told ESPN’s David Hale “I’ve coached against at least 10 national champions, and I have never seen anyone with the weapons and completeness of this Louisville team.” I am curious to hear his post game comments on Friday night after we drop 90 on…
USA Today has an updated list of projections for every bowl game. There are only two schools from the state of Kentucky projected to play in a bowl game this year. Check out the list to see who they are and the bowl game they are projected to play.
The Westgate Las Vegas Resort and Casino released hypothetical point spreads for Louisville against teams they may play if they were to make the college football playoffs. Louisville would be favored
If I have said it once I have said it 1000 times. Bobby Petrino is not going anywhere. I understand why people outside the fanbase would think he might leave but this time is different. With other jobs becoming available, Bobby’s name will always be floated out there but rest assured Card nation, this is…
Heather Dinich and Ryan McGee of ESPN talk about a rematch of Louisville vs. Clemson as part of the college football playoffs in this short animated video feature. It’s worth a minute of your time. Two ACC teams in the top four?! The debate with @ESPNMcGee who saw them both and didn't flinch (he can't…
“ALL RISE!!! Court is now in session. The honorable Bucket Hat King LJ tha Fiasco presiding. Please be seated and come to order” Good day folks. The BHK is back in the throne of my old Louisville home after a great weekend in the valley of Death referred to as Clemson. I became so annoyed…
Shout out to my boy Chris Clamon for showing me this article. A great read to enjoy on the way to Clemson. I wouldn’t be on my way to this game if we were in the Big 12 so thank you for making a huge mistake. The article says, “Five years ago next month, Jurich…
We know that these polls don’t mean a whole lot now that there is a playoff. But like it or not, they are still a measuring stick on where your team is viewed nationally. Louisville is still receiving votes in both polls. Take care of business on the field over these next couple of weeks,…
ESPN.com’s Jared Shanker posted his top 10 ACC games that they (I assume the ACC bloggers with ESPN) are most looking forward to in 2015. Of the 10 games, the Louisville Cardinals are playing in two of those: the season opener against the Auburn Tigers and the home matchup against the Clemson Tigers. Needless to…
Is it ever too early to have a college football poll? Probably, but that’s OK. It gives us something to talk about with 4 months to go before Louisville and Auburn kickoff in the Georgia Dome on September 5. In ESPN’s too-early top 25, Mark Schlabach has the Cards ranked 25th. He has this to…
Louisville finds themselves 35th in the latest AP poll. They are not receiving votes in the USA Today Coaches Poll. Florida State (2) and Clemson (24) are the only ACC teams ranked in the AP poll. Another UofL opponent, Notre Dame, checks in at #5. The ACC is represented in the “others receiving votes” category,…
The Cards picked up a win on Friday night, and by the way things went on Saturday, that was a big accomplishment. There was so much chaos in the top 25 with top teams losing. If your team was able to survive and just pick up a win, you should be happy. Louisville now turns…
Although the Louisville Cardinals are currently not ranked in the Top 25, there are still some intriguing games this weekend, highlighted by an ACC clash between (1) Florida State and (22) Clemson. Quarterback Jameis Winston will not play in the first half, so this one could get interesting. Personally, I would still love to…
