Every year when this game rolls around, I think back to certain moments that stick out from the rivalry. There are just some years that I could not tell you what happened or many details. But then there are some that I can rattle off stats, scores, and details that I have no clue why…

The results are in, and the winner for biggest villain in UK basketball is…John Calipari! We did most disliked player last season and DeMarcus Cousins won that one easily. I thought he may win this one too, but Coach Cal took it by a big margin. Here are the results. Thanks to all who voted!…
The youtube user “upfromtheashes” has some incredible full-game videos uploaded on his page of some of the best games in Louisville history. When you get time, be sure to watch this one from January 1, 1995.
Villain can be defined as: a character whose evil actions or motives are important to the plot. In saying that, it is time to vote on who you think is the biggest villain in UK basketball. The “winner” will get their own post dedicated to them. //
All this week we will be breaking down the match-ups at each position for the Louisville vs Kentucky basketball game for this Saturday December 28. Today we continue with the shooting guard position. Point Guard position battle Louisville Russ Smith Season Avg: Points: 16.8 Assists: 5.0 Rebounds: 3.2 Steals: 1.7 Turnovers: 2.4
We threw out this question to see what the people thought, and the mixed responses made it worthwhile. If the Cards only win 1 game on December 28th, which would YOU rather see them win? The Battle for the Bluegrass against Kentucky? Or the Russell Athletic Bowl against Miami? Now of course, we would prefer…
That about sums up my prediction for how the kitty cats will feel on Saturday afternoon. So you can take that and move on, or read on if you care to. Sometimes with this blog, I just report the facts and keep everything professional. This time? Not so much. I am going into 100% fan-mode…
If there is 1 thing that Cards and Cats fans can agree on, it’s that this is the best rivalry in all of college sports. Don’t you want to see all of the details of this rivalry played out in a documentary? You can help make that happen! Even if you donate just $1, every…
I first had a clever little Louisville vs the SEC paragraph typed up to begin this, but I scrapped that and will just dive right into what I am thinking. UK football fans…ease up a little bit and relax. Look, I am happy that UK is landing some actual D1 talent. None of our wins…
Yep, that is what Travis Waldron thinks. Check out this nice little article that he wrote and decide for yourself. Basically, UK does it right, and UofL does it wrong. What do you think??? Here is the link to the site, but I have posted the article below. Pay attention to where he graduated from……
By Justin Renck: UK football recruit Ryan Timmons is going to announce his college choice today. He attends Franklin County High School in Frankfort, KY. He is set to choose between Kentucky and Florida. So what is the weird part about this? How about the RV that is parked at his high school today?!
By Justin Renck: There have been some interesting developments today in the recruitment of Trinity High School star defensive end Jason Hatcher. Steve Jones, of the Courier-Journal, has been on top of this story, and most of this info comes from his blog, which you can read here.
#4 Louisville (11-1) vs Kentucky (8-3)
Short and sweet, here are the predictions for today’s game from Team CSZ! Justin Renck: Cards win 74-60. Too much chaos caused by Siva and Russ on defense; too many scorers for the Cards. Jeremy Wahman: I say too much Russ, too much Gorgui, too much D. Cards win 80-65. Steven Rummage: 77-65 Cards. UofL…
By Paige Sherrard: The environment of the Yum! Center for today’s game is going to be insane. To date, UK has only played one intense non neutral game, against Notre Dame, in which the Cats were defeated 64-50. Can their Freshmen adjust to the hostility, energy, and pure insanity of the Yum! Center??
By Justin Renck: One of the best moments in this rivalry happened in the 2008-2009 season. The Cards ended up being the #1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament, and the Cats played in the NIT. But none of that mattered on this day. In this rivalry, anything can happen! And yes, Earl Clark almost…
By Justin Renck: In what could be the biggest game all-time in the history of the UofL-UK rivalry, 1983 gave us the original “Dream Game.” For years, Kentucky would not play against Louisville. Actually, the last time they had played was 1959! This started with Adolph Rupp and made its way to Joe B. Hall….
“Red v. Blue” is a documentary all about the Louisville-Kentucky basketball rivalry. It should be released sometime in 2013, but here is the first trailer to give you a preview.
By Justin Renck: According to our non-official twitter poll, the fans have spoken. Many players were mentioned, but the overwhelming choice for the most disliked player for UK goes to DeMarcus Cousins! That is pretty impressive that he was able to capture this title and he only played for 1 season at UK.
By Justin Renck: Well we all remember the road scholar Eric Bledsoe, right? Good luck trying to listen to this. If you happen to make it to the 2:45-2:50 mark, check out what he and John Wall will “get right”. There is a word in the middle there that he says. I apologize in advance…
