This win, while feeling extra familiar, still tastes oh so sweet. Louisville began the game pretty much as expected. We got Vah Tech’s offense off the field in short order and then Isaac Brown rushed for an easy 52 yd score after gaining 10 yds on his first play from scrimmage. But that would be […]

In this the home of United Parcel Service, there is really but one appropriate inquiry to be made in the aftermath of another slog of a Louisville victory against a significantly lesser foe. That would be interimly-coached Virginia Tech, 28-16. Rhetorical as it may be, the question: “What can Brown do for you?” The obvious […]

Louisville allowed Boston College to make this game much closer than it ever should have been. They started the fourth quarter with a clear opportunity to put the game away but it took until the two mintue warning to do so. Louisville played down to it’s competition but they avoided a true letdown game. Not […]

LOUISVILLE SHOULD HAVE AN AGGRESSIVE GAME PLAN ON DEFENSE Virginia Tech has one of the more inconsistent offenses in the country. This is mostly due to the erratic play of Kyron Drones at quarterback, who has a tendency to be inaccurate as a passer and ineffective as a runner. However, Drones can turn it on […]

Louisville started the second half with an opportunity to extend the lead and run away with the game, but turnovers became an issue. The Cards’ defense also stepped up to keep BC at arm’s length. Let’s look at some of the plays from the third quarter. Isaac Brown has a fumbling issue, but I’m actually […]

The Virginia Tech football program was built on defense under Frank Beamer and Bud Foster. The defense has fallen off after the Beamer regime ended, and the Hokies’ identity doesn’t seem to have the same blue-collar mentality Beamer built in Blacksburg. Brent Pry went with an NFL hire for his new defensive coordinator this year, […]

Louisville got things going in the second quarter with some big plays on offense and a few stops on defense. The Cards finished the half by extending the lead with the hopes of putting the game away early in the second half. This is a complete bust by the defense. Multiple players end up not […]

Their knock is like nobody’s else’s. Especially at 1:39 in the morning. The polizei I’m talking about. Sure enough, when I answered, there was police badge 714 staring me in the face. “Mr. K, I’m Detective Joe Friday. This is my sidekick, Officer Bill Gannon. “Our Fraud squad has been alerted by someone who identified […]

Virginia Tech made the classic mistake of not firing its coach last season, which led the folks in charge to have to fire him three games into this season. Brent Pry couldn’t get over the hump during his time in Blacksburg, and his team looked overmatched in each game to start the season. Phillip Montgomery […]

It is obvious from the final moments of Louisville’s second and final tuneup/ exhibition that the doomsayers aplenty among the Cardinal fanbase were correct. Matters seem dire for the heralded Cards. I mean, c’mon, U of L got within a trey of triple digits with 03:14 of action left on a Kobe Rodgers J in […]

Just four nights after a disappointing shooting performance against Kansas, the Louisville men’s basketball team gave its fan base a better sense of what it can expect the team to do from the outside in the months ahead. The Cardinals connected on 23 of 46 attempts from three on their way to a 99-76 win […]

Louisville took on Boston College last weekend at home with the goal of not having a letdown game like Jeff Brohm has had in the past. They beat Miami, in part, because they schemed up an aggressive game plan on both sides of the ball. Brohm used creative formations and play calls to put Miami […]

Upon hearing the news Sunday night, I texted my football frenemy Bookstore. “Sayonara Brian Kelly.” “So long F-Bomb.” The dude is often not subtle with his barbs. “54 million. No problem. Three weeks in a row big time coach fired,” replied moi. “But not Kentucky or Wisconsin,” he retorted, citing his two alma maters, having […]

Even Tommy would know this one was not an Instant Classic. Tommy, you know, the Pinball Wizard. Tommy, surely a fan of the English Premier League football, rather than Atlantic Coast Conference football. Even Tommy, deaf dumb and blind as he was, would understand that Louisville’s 38-24 outlasting of Boston College was college football at […]
