BAILEY ABERCROMBIE #93 Height: 6’3” Weight: 285lb Position: DL Class: RS Freshman Hometown: Birmingham, AL Summary: One of the things I love about college football are the “surprise” additions to the team that were already on the roster. What I mean by that are players I was excited about landing during the recruiting cycles who […]
Given that his focus is on an upcoming charity dance competition*, Glorious Editor only posted Pat Kelsey’s predictable laudatory comments when official signings were announced. Hint to Glorious Editor, to best prepare, stop watching “Last Tango in Paris” in loop, and check out Deney Terrio videos. Since the Cardinal fans would like a little more […]
DILLON SMITH #94 Height: 6’4” Weight: 285lb Position: DL Class: Sophomore Hometown: Union, KY Summary: Don’t worry Dillion, I would never try and slide in the “high motor” descriptor or refer to you as “sneaky athletic” as those other lazy folks summarizing the team might do. It’s embarrassing frankly, and I’m glad we’re all operating […]
—It’s hard to believe that it’s been 10 years since the death of Muhammad Ali. Even so, The Champ’s story and his impact on the city of Louisville are both far from over. —The Louisville-Kentucky women’s basketball game is set for Wednesday, Dec. 9 in Lexington. This is the first time I can remember the […]
JOSHUA DONALD #95 Height: 6’2” Weight: 310lb Position: DL Class: Junior Hometown: Durham, NC Summary: We’re not that deep into the countdown this year and you’ve already seen a significant number of “transfer tags” on the front of these cards. Brohm and staff saw what transpired over the last few years and made a conscience […]
Louisville has spent much of Tuesday officially announcing the signings of nine new members of the U of L men’s basketball team for 2026-27. In case you’ve missed the press releases, here’s what Pat Kelsey has to say about each of the new Cardinals: Flory Bidunga “Flory is a game changer. He has an elite […]
Pat Kelsey’s 2026-27 Louisville roster appears to be locked into place … without one last additional piece. Iowa State transfer Milan Momcilovic, the highest-rated available player in the portal by everyone who ranks that sort of thing, has committed to Kentucky. The 6’8 sharp-shooter chose the Cats over Louisville, St. John’s and Arizona, among others. […]
TOMMY ZIESMER #96 Height: 6’2” Weight: 300lb Position: DL Class: RS Junior Hometown: Danville, KY Summary: For those who have had the horrible experience of dealing with a “boil” on the skin, they can become enlarged, unpleasant, and painful to deal with. Ironically “Boyle” county star Tommy Ziesmer could be described as the same from […]
And, so the long obsessional wait in the Land of the Dark & Bloody Ground continues. As of 9:43 AM Monday June 1, addled fans with no other life of the Louisville Cardinals and Wildcats — Kentucky and Arizona — continue to hold their breath. The Pride of Pewaukee, Wisconsin, three point marksman Milan Momcilovic […]
MAURICE DAVIS #97 Height: 6’4” Weight: 250lb Position: DL Class: Sophomore Hometown: Albany, GA Summary: The Cards grabbed Davis over a few SEC squads back in 2024 and are looking for his on field development to mirror that of his improved speed and quickness. Sitting behind some high caliber weapons on the depth chart when […]
SAM DAWSON #98 Height: 6’3” Weight: 300lb Position: DL Class: Freshman Hometown: Crestwood, KY Summary: Sam joined the Cards earlier this year as part of a solid 2026 high school class that the Cards plan to use to springboard their 2027 high school recruiting, and beyond. As one of 21 players who will hopefully start […]
JEROD SMITH II #99 Height: 6’4” Weight: 270lb Position: DL Class: Junior Hometown: Corbin, KY Summary: Not sure we could have picked a better player to kick off the ‘Countdown Season’ than Jerod Smith II. Not only does he encompass the staff fully embarrassing the transfer portal, he also highlights the recruiting relationships being built […]
JEROD SMITH II #99 Height: 6’4” Weight: 270lb Position: DL Class: Junior Hometown: Corbin, KY Summary: Not sure we could have picked a better player to kick off the ‘Countdown Season’ than Jerod Smith II. Not only does he encompass the staff fully embarrassing the transfer portal, he also highlights the recruiting relationships being built […]
Some of the more challenging words I write every single year are the ones that start this series on Day 100. How could I possibly encapsulate my excitement or energy about an entire upcoming season into a single paragraph, or even a single post, without sounding like a blabbering idiot for two thousand words?!? I […]
The ACC revealed Thursday morning every team’s opponents for the 2026-27 men’s basketball season.

How does the line go? He played ’em like a Stradivarius? Something like that. I’m thinking about Milan Momcilovic (and his very adroit financial team). By waiting until the last moment to report he shall return to college hoops, he shall be reaping the benefits of a pot of gold at the end of the […]
Plan your schedules accordingly: The University of Louisville football schedule has three more game times set for the upcoming 2026 season as the ACC and ESPN announced times for the first three weeks, non-Saturday games, and select other games.

The time of the game and the television coverage details will be announced at a later date. This will be the second […]
—On3 ranks the 100 most impactful college football players for the 2026 season and includes three Cardinals: Isaac Brown (29), Clev Lubin (41) and Antonio Watts (67). —The NBA Draft withdrawal deadline is Wednesday at midnight. I wrote about the 10 biggest remaining stay or go decisions here. —The Louisville men’s golf team is headed […]
Even though I have not seen a statement from Flory Bidunga himself, or his agent, the reports are so many that he is withdrawing from the NBA Draft, such that I feel more comfortable this May morning that he’ll suit up for the Cardinals come autumn. Earlier reports that he “signed” with the Cardinals were […]
I don’t always think about football in May. But when I do, I drink Dr. Brown’s Diet Cream Soda. Stay thirsty, my friends. So, yeah, it’s drizzly, as it is most every Memorial Day weekend it seems. Didn’t there used to be a Reggae Fest at the Water Tower that would get rained upon more […]
Pat Kelsey’s Louisville Cardinals will face Texas Tech in the first game of the Players Era Festival on Tuesday, Nov. 24 in Las Vegas. A win over the Red Raiders could set up a Thanksgiving showdown against St. John’s and former U of L head coach Rick Pitino. Here’s the full bracket for the 16-team […]
The most disappointing Louisville baseball season of the Dan McDonnell era ended the only way it could have: With a thud. Cardinal pitching surrendered five runs before recording an out as 11th-seeded U of L was blasted by 14th-seeded Pitt, 16-8, in a first round matchup from Charlotte that didn’t conclude until the early hours […]
I now dodder. I get confused. I’ve eaten with the same two guys every Wednesday for a couple decades now. We rotate who chooses where. When Mr. B proclaimed the venue in our text feed yesterday, I immediately confused it with two other restaurants along Frankfort Avenue. It happens more often than ever. Which is […]
The Basketball Tournament is looking to capitalize on the Louisville-Kentucky rivalry with a revamped format for its 2026 event. Instead of the 32-team, single elimination format that has existed since the TBT’s inception, the event is switching things up to a 16-team format that will now feature a $2 million, winner-take-all prize. The event will […]
