Have I mentioned how much I miss Vance Bedford? He was clearly a fan-favorite while here at Louisville because of his personality. He certainly took that with him to Texas, and has also taken it to twitter. He kind of takes a little jab at Johnny Manziel, and then as you would expect, people start…

Kurt Warner knows a thing or two about what it takes to be a successful quarterback in the NFL. It is nice to hear some positive talk about Teddy Bridgewater for a change from someone around the NFL. Good thing the draft is coming up soon or I am afraid at this rate, Teddy would…
Teddy Bridgewater was all over the ESPN studios on Thursday afternoon. Here is his full interview on SportsCenter.

Brian Hamilton of Sports Illustrated is reporting that Louisville will face Ohio State in the ACC/Big 10 Challenge in the 2014-15 basketball season. If true, that means the Cards will face Ohio State, Minnesota, Indiana, and Kentucky all out of conference. And then they will begin conference play in the ACC. Not too bad! The…
It looks like Louisville could be a very realistic landing spot for 5-star (ESPN) shooting guard Antonio Blakeney from the class of 2015. Blakeney is 6’4 and 170 lbs from Orlando, Florida. It looked to be down to Louisville and Florida. With the commitment of 5-star shooting guard Kevaughn Allen to the Gators, it seems…

If you haven’t had a chance yet to make it out to one of the autograph signings for Russ Smith, you have another chance on Tuesday. This will be the 73rd autograph session since the season ended. Not really, but it just seems that way. This one will be at Brownie’s The Shed, which is…
Rick Pitino picked up a commitment from an in-state player that will be a walk-on. Trent Gilbert, who attends Scott County High School in Georgetown, Kentucky, has decided to join the Cards over scholarship offers from Marshall, Winthrop, and Tennessee Tech.

During his press conference on Wednesday afternoon to announce new assistant coach Kenny Johnson, Rick Pitino also mentioned that someone else would be joining the staff.

It looks like the Louisville Cardinals will be very well represented in the green room on NFL Draft Day. Calvin Pryor has accepted an invitation to attend, joining quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. The NFL generally only invites players that are expected to be drafted in the first round, and likely in the earlier part of that…
