Okay, the title is an obscure quote from the movie, circa late 60s, early 70s, “Putney Swope.”
My point being that everybody I know with even the slightest interest in U of L football is asking anybody who might have once sat next to Tom Jurich at Lake Forest CC’s 19th Hole if they have a [...]

Just for argument’s sake, let’s assume for a moment that Tom Jurich is displeased with the performance of his head football coach Steve Kragthorpe.
I have no idea whether TJ is pleased as punch or disgruntled with the state of U of L football. Since he’s made no public statements other than his Steve-has-my-full-support-yada-yada-yada to national [...]

And the Opening Day I’m talking about ain’t the November Madness we used to call the World Series. It shouldn’t take the Bronx Checkbooks more than five games to finish that. Hopefully before the first blizzard of the season. And I don’t mean baseball season.
I am talking about U of L hoops tipoff, which is [...]

You got any ibuprofen handy? I’m out and could use a triple dose this morning.
So probably could my favorite caller on the Cards post-game radio talk show. The fellow sounded more than a bit in his cups in the wake of yet another woeful U of L performance, this time in the nation’s fifth oldest [...]

Elsewhere here at leoweekly.com, and on my web site, culturemaven.com, I contemplate the hubbub that has arisen surrounding the state of Louisville’s football program. Take your choice.
Read the entirety of the essay here.
Or read it here.
Your choice where, but be sure to check it out.

That’s right, kids, it’s the proverbial Tale of Two Cities.
Lexington: happy :: Louisville: sad.
When I watch how resolute the pigskin Cats are, I think of how much I belittled Rich Brooks during his first couple seasons. And, how wrong I, a naysayer, was. UK’s mentor proves year in and year out, game in and game [...]

Rarely has a fan base been so confused by a W as U of L’s is in the wake of last night’s come from behinder against a middle of the road CUSA squad, Southern Miss.
The growing majority of the Cardinal fans are now firmly convinced Steve Kragthorpe will never be as successful at U of [...]

Okay, it’s Friday night of homecoming. Southern Miss’s Golden Eagles are coming to town tomorrow as a slight favorite to test the mettle of Steve Kragthorpe’s thus far uninspiring Louisville Cardinals.
More surprising is, a day after the rumor mills had Kragthorpe backing the moving van up to the hacienda, all is fairly quiet. Or, at [...]

Whether it means anything or not viz a viz the Kragthorpe situation, I’m advised that Tom Jurich was not in Birmingham today. Was he somewhere else? Or, if in town, why wasn’t he at the basketball luncheon? After talking with several sources, I have reason to believe that, despite denials by university [...]

Thanks to a Cardinal fan, a Facebook friend, and fan of my Facebook page, I just became aware of this clever video, which entertainingly says what most U of L football fans feel. (Though I’m not sure Ron English as the next head coach would be a prudent choice, he certainly could do no worse [...]
