The first major offseason shakeup for the Louisville men’s basketball program is here. Card Chronicle can confirm multiple reports that Cardinal assistant coach Thomas Carr is leaving to take a similar position at Indiana. The Field of 68’s Jeff Goodman was the first to report the news. Carr has spent the last four seasons as […]
The sturdiest Louisville Slugger is made of rock maple, a wood that is as tough as it sounds and the vibrant crack of a baseball off the bat usually reflects that. But over time, even rock maple will weaken, slowly rot and eventually break. The same can’t be said for the exploits of a real-life […]
Now for some musings on a weekend vacationing in the Land of Overinflated Balls. Otherwise known as the Greatest Weekend in Sports, the opening two rounds of the NCAA tournament. Have no comments on the testicularity of it all. But can say from a personal standpoint, my eyes are crying for a rest, and my […]
Most of Louisville’s losses this season were by just a few points so the question loomed could they finally finish when it counted. Today they proved that they could at the most important time and earned themselves a trip to the Sweet Sixteen. Elif Istanbulluoglu led the Cards with a double-double of 18 points and […]
Go Cards
Last day of opening weekend. Would be a lot cooler if we’d won.
As disconsolate as I may feel in the immediate aftermath of Louisville’s season ending 69-77 loss to Michigan State, I am consoled by contextualizing a sad moment with this heartening reality. It came on March 21. It came in the second round of the NCAA tournament, a place the Cardinals had not resided in for […]
At the end of the first half the score was 32-28 in Louisville’s favor. Two players on Vermont’s team, Keira Hanson and Nikola Priede, combined for 24 of those 28 points. In the third quarter the Cards held those two players to a total of 6 points. There’s your ballgame. Mackenly Randolph did it all […]
This would be a special win. Let’s go get a special win. Go Cards.

Just a few things. Shame shame shame on me for not singing the praises of Kobe Rodgers in my GameCap. My sincerest apologies. Both Coach and players mentioned him the victory’s post game presser.
