New Mysteries of the Bahamas
As we know, the Bahamas presents some mysteries of consequence. Bermuda Triangle, of course. Who knows how many boats Elvis really needs There’s the submerged Bimini Road. Thought by many to have been a byway to Atlantis. Where we know, thanks to Donovan, knowing her fate, the soon to be lost antediluvian civilization launched ships […]
The Mikel Brown Back Situation is your 2025-26 LCPT Champion
After the tightest championship vote in the long and storied history of the Least Cool Person Tournament, we have our newest champion of uncool. By the narrowest of margins, 51%-49%, the Mikel Brown Back Situation edged out Brian Mandel to bring home this year’s title. It brought confusion, it brought angst, it brought a disappointing […]
‘The Cardinal Countdown: 44 Days Until Kickoff’
TRAVIS EGAN #44 Height: 6’2” Weight: 220lb Position: TE/QB Class: RS Junior Hometown: Mount Washington, KY Summary: Without question the majority of the Louisville football roster has fairly defined roles and skillsets, with not only position driven goals and focus, but also specific focus even within that position. Enter Travis Egan. The high school superstar […]
‘The Cardinal Countdown: 45 Days Until Kickoff.’
Cardinals History By The Numbers In 2023 the ghost of Christmas past blessed the Cards with one Samuel Hartman brining another Top 10 football team into Cardinal Stadium, previously captaining Wake Forest and now leading #10 Notre Dame. He would again walk out a loser. The first year of Jeff Brohm started out 5-0 and […]
Seedy K’s Ville Report: La Familia III
For reasons soon to be explained, this can’t be called a GameCap. I had every intention of covering it normally. Running box score on the MacBook. Notepad in hand. Then, at 4:52, I got a call from my ex-, with whom I’m better friends than ever. Even when we were together. It was granddaughter — […]
2025-26 LCPT Championship: The Mikel Brown Back Situation vs. Brian Mandel
For all the uncoolest of marbles. THE MIKEL BROWN BACK SITUATION HOW THEY GOT HERE: —Defeated Georgia Football (83%-17%) in the quarterfinals.—Defeated NCAA Tournament Expansion (78%-22%) in the semifinals RAP SHEET: —Lots of nominations for Mikel’s dad, his back, the injury, etc., so the fair thing (I think) to do here is to lump them […]
‘The Cardinal Countdown: 46 Days Until Kickoff.’
Cardinals History By The Numbers While the unofficial rules of the “history by the numbers” posts (that I just made up on my own accord years ago) clearly state that I should avoid recognizing current players in these posts, I’ve already broken my rule this year with Nick Keller, so if we’re swimming in the […]

RYAN MANIS #47 Height: 6’1” Weight: 225lb Position: LS Class: RS Sophomore Hometown: Wilmington, NC Summary: When scrolling through the transfer portal list back in February, the name Ryan Manis likely didn’t jump off the page as one of the high profile grabs for Brohm and staff, in fact you likely may not even remember […]
Seedy K’s VilleCap: La Familia Part Deux
I know it really truly in all honesty in the realm of all events means very very little. But . . . but . . . but . . . but . . . It is Red vs. Blue. The Good Guys vs. Evil Arch Rival. Feathers vs Fur. In World Famous Freedom Hall. Sorry, […]
No TV or streaming for Louisville’s Bahamas bball games? Come on
This is the first installment of a new series called “come on,” in which I admit that I can’t pretend to understand the intricacies behind why a decision was made, but still get upset because of how obviously wrong the decision seems to me from the outside. In eight days, the 2026-27 Louisville men’s basketball […]

JACOB BAKER #48 Height: 6’2” Weight: 215lb Position: P Class: Junior Hometown: Corbin, KY Summary: Flashback to 2025, opening game of the season, the Cards are manhandling the Colonels of EKU, and the vibes are high.

Veritas de ludo pilae in corbem immittendae TBT (The Basketball Tournament) is but a diversion. A curio. A Hopalong Cassidy lamp you find at Fleur de Flea that takes you back to happier times oof your youth. It is when you can’t get a reservation for three months at the hot new restaurant with the […]

‘The Cardinal Countdown: 50 Days Until Kickoff’
CLEV LUBIN #50 Height: 6’3” Weight: 260lb Position: DL Class: RS Senior Hometown: Suffern, NY Summary: Lubin slid right into the gap in 2025, picking up where he left off at Coastal, and making the edge a slippery spot for opposing tackles to try and defend. The new addition not only made his mark, he […]

‘The Cardinal Countdown: 51 Days Until Kickoff.’
Cardinals History By The Numbers Long time ‘Card Chronicle’ favorite, and notable field goal kicker extraordinaire Arthur (Art) Carmody was blasting balls around the field before it was cool.

Crawford Chronicles: Davenport Edition
A thematic seam running through these Crawford Gym remembrances is how careers and teams and teamwork and lifelong friendships were there catalyzed. Through the sweat of shirts v. skins on sweltering summer nights. Through practice and repetition and instruction from Hall of Fame coaches and under-lauded assistants. The impact of ballers helping ballers. Then there’s […]
