As everyone is well aware, there have been some changes in the coaching staff for the Louisville football team.

On Saturday, I stood on the sidelines surrounded by other photographers, bloggers and local media. The discussion came up wondering if this was one of the worst seasons ever.

I do predictions at the beginning of every year. As much as I try to keep my heart out of it, sometimes it gets in the way and I predict they are just a little better than what I really believe. This year was really tough. I believed Louisville was somewhere between a 6 win…

If you take a step back and look at the schedule, you would realistically think that after 3 games, Louisville would be 2-1. Correct? Well, Louisville is exactly 2-1. So everything is fine. Right? It would appear so just by looking at the record, but upon further review, the way that the 2-1 record was…

The University of Louisville football team has 5 or 6 guys who could get carries at running back this season.

Thank You Louisville…
It’s no secret that there are plenty of questions about this years Louisville football team.
