Description:

So, yeah, I was just about to open up my writing app early Friday afternoon, keyboard in some fluff about the Cards, how some national scribes are looking at U of L football, a sweet moment for Cardinal hoops icon Angel McCoughtry and then . . .. . . oh, if you re reading this, you know already.I should have known something untoward was going to happen sooner, rather than later.I d just watched this week s episode of the most always heartening series, Ted Lasso. Even though the Nelson Roaders upset my favorite EPL team Tottenham, in the quarters of the FA Cup, this edition was way more melancholy than most.Coach Beard s romantic situation.Becca Welton s fraught relationship with her mum.And ever bubbly Ted Lasso s anxiety attack in the middle of the game against the Hotspur.Then, boom, yet another explosion on Floyd Street.The ongoing travails of Louisville Cardinal basketball are gifts that just keep on giving.Yet another virtual Vince Tyra press conference to follow. Continue reading Those Hits Just Keep on Comin That s right, football fans, kickoff is this weekend.Which means: He s Baaack!Referring to himself in the third person, that would be America s premier college pigskin predictioneer, Seedy K.The testimonials to his prowess are abundant. I have seen the future of football prophecy, and its name is Seedy K. Grantland Rice Seedy K is so spot on, he makes me feel like a loser. Leonard Post Toasties Seedy K is the gold standard. Jimmy the Greek You wanna know what Joey thinks of Seedy K? My lawyer advises me to say nuthin so as I don t incinerate myself. Joey the VigYou need empirical evidence of your guy s favorite projection prowess? Data this.In last year s pandemic season, with empty stands, not knowing from week to week what games would be cancelled, and who might have to sit out; a season where the one true highlight was a Chanticleer taking down a Cougar at the one yard line as the clock ran out, here s Seedy K s stat line.50 right. 27 wrong. 8 DNPs.Not bad, if he says so himself.OK, that s enough self aggrandizing, even for me.Let s get to it on the week before the week when matters really kick in gear. There s a slate of four games, two of which are of national interest. OK, transparency, one game that matters to some other than the schools faithful. Continue reading Seedy K s Peerless Pigskin Prognostications: Week 0 With a smidge of hope creeping in as kickoff is so close you can almost taste the Chili Cheese Slaw Dog at the Varsity, U of L fans are still grumbling.(Actually, to be fair, most college fans are constantly disgruntled. If not about recruiting, or in game decisions, or a zebra s unwarranted flag. something else. Except of course those that wear houndstooth ballcaps with a crimson elephant logo, and believe a mention of Pope Paul refers to a fellow named Finebaum.)Most of the dismay befalling Louisville fans emanates from Coach Satt s flirtation with the cockfighting roosters from over in the lower Carolina.But, hey, it s time to move on from that. Or so I d suggest. He s here. He ain t goin nowhere. For awhile anyway.Part of the grumbling comes from staff turnover.As if that s unique to Floyd Street football. Continue reading Cardinal Football is Close, Some Thoughts Nothing says the football season is drawing nigh like the surge in appearances of roster guys on Criminal Court dockets.(OK, other than the surge in bratwurst sales at the grocery store, a truly telling sign.)So, in one big day of news from the Crime desk, college football has a couple of stories.Six UK Wildcats are charged with Burglary. One of them also for Wanton Endangerment. Seems a trio of them weren t pleased, when they were asked to leave a party they weren t invited to. So they got three of their pals and returned. One of the sextet was packing, and pulled the pistol.In what is pro forma coachspeak, Coach Stoops is monitoring the situation, but can t speak further, since there s an ongoing criminal investigation. Continue reading Seems We re Ready For Some . . . Football??? So, this is what Roman Numerated sequel to this series, Part IV?Let s see. Yeah, that s right. Sypher. Stripper. Bowen. Gaudio.One of the cottage industries I ve embarked upon since my retirement from the Bar, is reviewing films for public radio, a dalliance really, but I take it seriously.I choose never to view or review slasher or horror flicks. The last one I believe I saw was Macabre in 58, a William Castle movie, where you got a $1500 life insurance policy in case you died of a heart attack during the showing. My 13 year old pals and I sat in the balcony and laughed our way through the whole thing. To the annoyance of others in attendance.OK, I did see Psycho. Anyway, get to the point, c d, I hate such fare, am not entertained a bit.I couldn t tell you the difference between Saw and A Quiet Place, between Freddy Krueger and that guy standing by the chainsaws in that TV commercial, where the dunderheaded HS kids don t get in the running auto and escape.But, as a lifelong close observer of U of L sports, I can t take my eyes off the screen, when yet another of these Cardinal dumpster fire plotlines premieres.It s getting oh so so very old.This week, it was the filing of his Sentencing Memorandum, by Dino Gaudio s attorney. Continue reading Nightmare on Floyd Street, Part ?? Here s the deal up front.I didn t attend U of L s first open practice. And only viewed Coach Satt s presser online.Which really is no loss of expert observation for my readers. Check out Keith Wynne s takeaways. He s much more astute when it comes to pigskin than me.I m the guy, who, at Teddy Bridgewater s first practice didn t think he was any more impressive throwing the ball than Will Stein.But here s my excuse for not showing up anyway on Sunday.I know all God s children got problems, but it was frankly one of the least favorite weekends of my life.New Orleans JazzFest is the other most favorite thing in my life besides U of L sports. That yesterday s cancellation of the October reschedule from April was the least depressing thing that happened is telling.There was other stuff. Continue reading Welcome Back Football . . . Please Stay! As The Vig advised emphatically in our recent conversation, Joey don t do Zoom. And don t call me The Vig. Ah, one of the pleasures of the pandemic, as if that can really be a thing, was no communications from my nemesis, Joey the Vig.For those unfamiliar, he s a sort of private fellow with various and sundry mysterious business enterprises. He s a swarthy fellow, whose demeanor advises, Don t interrupt me, or disagree. Think Little Steven s character in Lillyhammer, Francesco Frankie the Fixer Tagliano a/k/a Giovanni. Like Van Zandt s character, The Vig (and I wisely for health purposes never call him that to his face) gets things taken care of.With dispatch.Usually through the persuasion methods employed by his consultants, Cousin Guido and Amir the Convincer. Continue reading Joey the Vig s Not So Welcome Return What It Means for Readers Fans, coaches, and athletes of every school, team, franchise, and sport have those “If Only” battles through the years, the ones that never came about. This is the fourth installment  of a here’s-what-never-happened series of indeterminate duration featuring what might have been but never was for various Louisville Cardinal contingents through the decades.The Dream Game was truly epic.Despite three national crowns, it remains their favorite basketball game ever, in the minds of many long time fans.At least that s how it s fondly remembered and rehashed by Louisville Cardinal faithful.Winner to the Final Four.Close proximity of Knoxville.A stand alone NCAA game with no fans of other teams in the building.Denny vs. The Beasmon back and forth.Decades of pent-up longing.And the delayed reality that it was finally coming about. After the Wildcats beat IU. And the Cards survived Arkansas.And after two previous near misses in the Dance. Continue reading Games That Never Came: U of L vs UK 3/13/82 When Scott Satterfield was handed the reins to U of L football, I went and perused videos of App State games, when he was coaching there. Including the famous W in the Big House over mighty Michigan.(Which, trivia note, happened to be the first game ever televised on the Big Ten Network.)What struck me about those Mountaineer squads was how many really fast footballers played for them.Which is why I knew immediately and intuitively that Tutu Atwell was going to be the focus of the offense. Every once in awhile, I get it right.And is why I took notice of this recent proclamation by the Cardinal coach: Tyler Harrell is the fastest player I ve ever timed in my career. Which is why one must assume we ll see the redshirt soph from Miami targeted early and often this season, starting in the Chicken Sandwich with a Pickle Kickoff opener, against the Johnny Rebs. * * * * *Speaking of football, which by the by is only a bit more than a month away, here s some minutiae. Which I can pass along, thanks to the obsessiveness of a college football fanatic named Blaise D Sylva. Continue reading Monday Musings: Satt Speed, Harrell Helmets + How about my main man?My most favoritist Louisville Cardinal hoopster . . . ever? Well, almost.Anyway, add this to Jordan Nwora s resumé: NBA Champion.Good for him.Go Dude! * * * * *Speaking of former U of L Cards who hit the jackpot.How about Henry Davis?The #1 pick in the MLB Draft signed on to the Pittsburgh Pirates for a cool $6.5 million.Brother, can you loan me a dime?
