. . . and giving serious props to Gary Parrish, cbssports.com’s college baskeball expert . . . and praying for Billy Clyde Gillispie’s recovery.
Larry Eustachy is now the hoops coach at Southern Mississippi.
A little over a half decade ago, when he was at Iowa State, he was legitimately in the conversation about the [...]

Alrighty then. The spotlight which has been aimed at U of L hoops for weeks because of the Pitino/ Sypher situation is now pointed down the road.
Is this today’s episode of “As The World Turns?”
If the early reports are correct, Memphis State is going to have to forfeit all of its wins from the ‘07-’08 [...]
That’s how the Louisville Cardinals’ baseball season ends. Yes, the Cardinal looks pissed.
Chris Dominguez 2, Cal St Fullerton 11.
The Cards total offensive output was two solo shots by the All America third sacker. Way too little. Way too late.
Frankly it’s nothing to be ashamed of. The Titans are a really good team, very aggressive on [...]
I’m not exactly sure why I stayed up after 1:00 a.m. to watch U of L get their breakfast, lunch and dinner handed to them? The Cards were goners from the first. Literally. 0-12. Bummer.
Okay, I know why I was up so late. Homestead stuff. I fell asleep in the recliner when the good guys [...]
I’m not sure who played worse D last night — Vandy’s guy in the Hot Corner, Jason Esposito, or, uh oh, yours truly?
Esposito went E-5 twice in the top of the 8th with two gone, allowing U of L the insurance runs it needed to advance to next weekend’s Super Regional.
I allowed a bounce back [...]
Louisville’s Cardinals are down 0-2 early to Middle Tennessee out at Patterson Field.
Due to several circumstances — all legit — I didn’t make it out to the ballyard. Okay, I’m feeling more than a little guilty, but sometimes real life imposes itself. Like staying home with the Film Babe, picking up stepson at the airport, [...]
It’s a great day for a ballgame, or as Mr. Cub Ernie Banks famously intoned, “Let’s play two.”
I’m at Patterson Field for the NCAA baseball regional. The opener matches Vandy and cross-state rival, Middle Tennessee.
Louisville opens its quest to make it to Omaha at 7:00 this evening against IU.
It’s a slow arriving crowd since the [...]
I shall not pretend to be any sort of expert on lacrosse.
One of the things I do know is, despite the failure of our local newspaper to chronicle the NCAA title game in its TV listings, that it’s traditionally played on Memorial Day. I also know it’s a nifty sport to watch, especially when there’s [...]
Some Big Blue fans are already ordering their national championship t-shirts. They want to be the first one in their new finery down at the General Store.
Frankly, who can blame them? Nothing like a regime change, a #1 recruiting haul and one maybe two returning superstars to instigate visions of pre-ordination.
Many U of L fans [...]
This morning, for the first time in weeks, I couldn’t stop thinking about the severely disappointing end to U of L’s basketball season. There was something seriously out of kilter about that loss to Michigan State.
The way the team just didn’t seem prepared for what the Spartans threw at them. The way Louisville just gave [...]
