I know we are all disappointed. Everyone is. Coaches, players, alumni, board members, fans, boosters, ticket takers, beer vendors and many many more. We are not disappointed because our expectations were set too high but rather because what we saw on Friday night was not Louisville football. Louisville football isn’t one of the “Blue Bloods”…

I know I’m not the only one that feels this way, but I know many of you will simply read the headline and then comment on this article without reading it; and not fully understanding what I mean by my headline. Some of you will read the headline and assume that I meant he missed…
I know that every one of you have seen the Honored Jerseys that adorn Cardinal Stadium. I look up at those honored Jerseys every single time I am in that stadium. Often times I find myself reminiscing about the days that some of those guys played. Contrary to popular belief at CSZ, I am not…
Normally, around late January to early February, I have a horse I really love and by late April, I know if that horse will win or not. But this isn’t a normal year. A few short weeks ago I was about 90% sure it would come down to just how much Life Is Good would…
I started doing these Exit Interviews a few years ago. The first interviews were of players who chose to transfer. I was curious about what they honestly thought about our University as they exited and wanted to hear some of their favorite memories. It was the equivalent of one last word. Now, this Exit Interview…
2020 was a year we all want to put behind us and it made sports seem exactly what they really are for us fans – entertainment and a distraction from real life. But college athletics is truly a business and pandemic or not, the show must go on. And so did the Nunnsense posts. Well,…
There are quite a few players I have my eye on to have an absolute great year. Some I’ve been watching even before they stepped on campus and a few that I missed early but have watched progress rapidly. It stands to reason that all the guys on defense should improve simply by having the…
I’m taking a look at the Louisville football schedule for the 2020 season. I will attempt to rank the schedule from the toughest games to the easiest. I’m writing this assuming the season will be played as scheduled. But if the ACC goes to a 10 game conference only schedule, Louisville would lose games against…
While I remain optimistic that the college football season will be played as scheduled, it’s looking more and more like the season will be altered in a dramatic way. With only about 7 weeks until the college football season officially kicks off, time is definitely not on the side for those of us wanting a…
MVP is an abbreviation for Most Valuable Player and is defined as an award given to a player in sports who is judged most important to the sport, team, or game. However, judging is subjective. How do you decide who is the most valuable throughout the season? Is it the person with the best stats? If so,…
To answer the question as simple as possible, I would say “nobody knows for sure.” No matter what anyone tells you, there is no definite plans to change, alter, adjust, transform, modify, revise, mutate, or cancel the college football season. I’m not saying changes aren’t coming, but nothing has been officially announced. Even though there…
This week I am really missing football so I wanted to just go back and reminisce of the final game of the season. I think the not having baseball to occupy my time has really got me missing football more than ever. Usually I start getting heavy into my football research beginning in June. But…
Depending on who you talk to, there may or may not be a college football season. I’m going to tell you that there will absolutely be a 2020 college football season. Will it be played as scheduled? I’m not certain about that but I am certain in will be played. Maybe not a full 12…
An anonymous NFL scout said the following about why they ranked Becton lower than most: “Know why I have him fifth? Because he loves to cook and eat more than he loves frigging football … He can be a freak now. You could hit on him. You know what he is? He’s Trent Brown (Las Vegas Raiders…
I’ve answered this question many times over the last several weeks. I’m no future teller or even a great prognosticator but yet people still ask me. I assume they just want to know what I am hearing from the people I talk to from the College Football Writers Association of America and UofL. Or they…
This past football season was one like any other that I have ever witnessed. It started with very low expectations and ended in a bowl game. It was a very enjoyable ride for every Cardinal fan. It was also very enjoyable for the team. So I wanted to do a little different kind of interview…
I don’t need to tell you what Mekhi has done during his 3 years at Louisville. But, in short, he basically dominated anyone who lined up against him. It was so fun to look at the fear in opponents eyes just before the snap and then to see them on the ground moments later. Mekhi…
Blanton Creque, dubbed “Cold Blooded Creque” by his teammates, will leave the University of Louisville with his name all over the football record books. Blanton came to Louisville from Martha Layne Collins high school in Shelbyville, KY. He redshirted the 2015 season before having the dubious task of taking over the kicking duties from John…
In April of 2017, Boosie Whitlow announced he was transferring from the University South Carolina to the University of Louisville. If you remember correctly, Boosie was a huge addition to the defense because the Cards signed exactly 0 defensive linemen in the 2017 recruiting class. Boosie sat out the 2017 year due to transfer rules…
The Tyler Haycraft story isn’t one of luck. It’s a story of hard work and pure determination. Tyler came to UofL from St.Xavier high school where he played both offensive and defensive line. He wasn’t recruited by Alabama, LSU, Ohio State or Note Dame. In fact, he was a walk-on at Louisville. He redshirted his…
