It's time to move on. All 23,432 stalwart souls at the Rutgers game knew it. A chamber-of-commerce afternoon Senior Day was nothing more than a gathering of grousers -- of Cardinal fans who knew that the jig was up. Rutgers was a better team -- better players, better coached, better prepared. ...

The Classic at Freedom Hall this weekend has been about as classic as the John Grisham shelf at Boarders. Right, this isn't the NBA. Not every night brings in the Cavs or the Spurs. We cannot start the season with Big East play. With the exception of the trip to Las Vegas on Saturday, November ...

It's official. The C-J's bottom line looks a lot brighter as there won't be any per diem for any reporters or columnists following U of L football in December. The Steve Kragthorpe era has now delivered a third consecutive season with a "post." I admit that the Cards gave their best accounting ...

Could this be the week that the fog of apathy and ambiguity lifts from the Cardinal football program? If entrails have been properly read, then South Florida's 11.5-point nod should hold true to form, and any faint flickers of hope for a bowl appearance will be doused. Then it's one more week ...

What wasn't to like in last night's scalding of John Pelphry's bunch? With East Tennessee State, Morgan State and Appalachian State touring Freedom Hall this weekend, the aspirations of Cardinal fans were truly bolstered by leveling an SEC foe on a neutral court, albeit a team ravaged by ...

What is there to say about Louisville's 10-9 win over the Orange? I won my bottle of Il Bastardo, owing only to the fact that we didn't involve the 7.5-point spread. Several texts chirped my way during the game announcing that the sender was at the stadium and promptly leaving before halftime ...

Try listening to Syracuse sportswriter Dave Rahme's podcast on Saturday's showdown between the Orange and Cardinals. For every Louisville letdown on the offensive side of the ball, there's corresponding Syracuse shortcoming. Toss in myriad disciplinary problems, culminating in the exiting of one ...

So it wasn't the polymorphous pounding that we were all expecting, but how many positives can fans take away from the lethargic outing in Morgantown? Darius Ashley 33 carries for 163 yards represented the most outstanding individual effort by a Cardinal back since Anthony Allen's 275-yard ...

Thought I'd toss in some night-table reading from the Mountaineer perspective. I know it's bad form to underestimate your opponent, but do these people realize that WVU is a 20-point favorite? Despite Louisville's struggles, Mountaineers still worried - The Daily Atheneum, West Virginia student ...

Why limit myself to one stream of consciousness disquisition on some aspect of the decay of U of L's football program? How about a Thursday afternoon therapy session where I exorcise some of the demons and dilemmas whirling about in these last four games: West Virginia - I still have seared ...

A few more tidbits to smile about in the romp over Knights. The most important factor to bear in mind is that U of L's avoided the SportsCenter/PTI/Around the Horn shame visited on Syracuse after it's breathtakingly inept loss to Le Moyne. Improvements could be seen all around. I love the ...

How about more of a three-guard look? In what surely will be a season of frustration trying to find consistent scoring from the small forward position, I'd like to think that Coach Pitino might be tempted to go the Villanova route to success: throw as many guards on the floor as possible and ...

Amid all the hosannas hoisted at walk-on Will Stein for completing 20 of 39 passes for 232 yards and guiding the Cards to a soporific third win of the season over Arkansas State, one significant number hasn't emerged. Allow me to denude it: 15,771. That's the difference in attendance from ...

Just received an email from a U of L professor who says he couldn't give away his tickets for today's game (among 70 students). I'm not really sure how many fans will turn out, but it's a perfect storm for Jurich: a hostile fan base, a middling opponent, a delapidated team, gloomy weather and ...
