Cardinal Coverage - A Louisville Podcast

Host John Lund previews the Bush's Boca Raton Bowl of Beans Bowl between the Louisville Cardinals and Toledo Rockets and what Jeff Brohm had to say about it. The Rockets also enter the game with an 8-4 record overall and are looking for their staunch defense to keep the Cardinals in line. However, Louisville is expected to play most of its staters, with the hopes of securing Jeff Brohm's ninth victory for a third consecutive season. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Host John Lund recaps Louisville's 83-62 loss at No. 20 Tennessee on Tuesday night and reacts to what head coach Pat Kelsey had to say about it. Freshman star Mikel Brown Jr. was ruled out right before the game and was greatly missed by the Cardinals offense, which was held to a season low in points. Defensively in the first half, there was no answer for Tennessee in the paint, and it only got worse in the second half when the outside shots started to fall as well. The red flags from the Arkansas loss remained, and there's work to be done heading into ACC conference play for the 9-2 Cards. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Host John Lund recaps Louisville's 99-73 beatdown over Memphis on Saturday afternoon and reacts to what head coach Pat Kelsey had to say about the win and crowd attendance. Also, a preview for Tuesday night's game at No. 20 Tennessee. It was another great team win for the Cardinals and a 3-point barrage to boot against the Tigers, with 18 made and six players knocking down at least two apiece. Rebounding continues to be a problem however, an emphasis for improvement when the Cards play the Vols on Tuesday night. And, Pat Kelsey called out the Louisville faithful to pack the KFC Yum! Center on Saturday, but are the prices everywhere just too damn high? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Host John Lund chats with Mike Rutherford, he's the manager and founder of Card Chronicle for SB Nation, host of the Mike Rutherford Show for Big X Sports Radio in Louisville (Monday through Friday from 2:30 to 5:30ET), host of the CC Podcast with Dan Sinnard, and author of "100 Things Louisville Fans Should Know Before They Die". Conversation revolves around how he got into sports media and how he's evolved along with it, if he contributed to the demise of the football season by having the nerve to attend two home games, if there's an answer to what happened to the team this year, the optimism surrounding the basketball team after an 8-1 start, and more importantly, what word he got wrong to knock him out of the final round in the 1997 city spelling bee. He's on Twitter @CardChronicle. Also on the show, Jeff Brohm's comments on Louisville playing Toledo in the Bush's Boca Raton Bowl of Beans Bowl and more on the Rockets, along with some additional host commentary on the College Football Playoff process and the ripple effects from the final bracket. Why to never trust the committee or the process, why Notre Dame got screwed, but also why teams opting out of bowl games is BS. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Host John Lund recaps Louisville basketball's 87-78 win over No. 22 Indiana on Saturday and what Pat Kelsey had to say about it afterward. It was quite the homecoming for Ryan Conwell, who finished with a game-high 21 points to lead a great night for the entire offense. It was a solid response after losing to Arkansas and showed a balanced effort from Cardinals role players across the board. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Host John Lund talks about Jeff Brohm's decision to turn down any other offers and come back for the 2026 football season, and Arkansas handing men's hoops their first loss, along withwhat head coach Pat Kelsey had to say about it. It had been an uneasy time for football fans this week, with Coach Brohm's name on the hot stove to possibly take the open Penn State job, but he put those rumors to bed on Wednesday after addressing the media about how the team fared in signing day. Also, a tough game for the Cardinals at Arkansas as part of the ACC/SEC challenge, just one of those games where you could tell they didn't have it and weren't able claw back in the end. Louisville lost the rebounding battle, points off turnovers and the bench, and to make matters worse, once again lost at the hands of John Calipari. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Host John Lund recaps Louisville's 41-0 win over rival Kentucky in an absolute beatdown to end the season on a high note. With a shell of its offense and plenty of guys playing hurt, the Cardinals put together their best game of the year for the largest defeat in the history of the Governor's Cup, so bad that Kentucky fired Mark Stoops just days later. It was a great way for Miller Moss and the defense to end their seasons, and yet another bright spot for Louisville's running game. While it doesn't make up for all the losses in November, it sure felt good for Cardinal Nation to sweep the basketball and football games for the first time since 2012-13 and Jeff Brohm's third consecutive season with at least eight wins.

Host John Lund recaps Louisville's 87-46 home win over Eastern Michigan on Monday night and what head coach Pat Kelsey had to say about it. It took a little time for the Louisville offense to get doing but the defense came ready to play from the tip, limiting the Eagles to just four points in the first 11 minutes and 17 in the first half. The bench provided spark after spark, dropping 37 points and giving Coach Kelce a better idea of whom can play where and when. Adrian Wooley and Khani Rooths chipped in 9 and 7 points respectively and added 12 total boards, while Aly Khalifa put on an offensive and defensive show for a 6-0 start for the first time since 2019.

Host John Lund recaps Louisville's 38-6 loss at SMU in Week 13 and what head coach Jeff Brohm had to say about it. It was the worst loss in the Jeff Brohm era and worst for the Cardinals in this decade. A freshman quarterback making his first start with not much trust, countless injuries, and a defense that had all but given up by the end of the game... It was a recipe for disaster against the Mustangs, and leaves more questions than answer for the season finale against rival Kentucky. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Host John Lund recaps Louisville's second half comeback to beat Cincinnati, 74-64, on Friday night to remain unbeaten. After the Bearcats clamped down on the Cardinals offense in the first half to head into halftime with a four-point lead, UofL battled back. Fueled by Ryan Conwell's 17 second half points en route to his best game with Louisville and a game-high 25 points, along with a five-point sequence from freshman Mikel Brown Jr. to seal the win, the Cards improved to 5-0 and showed they can win in different ways.

Host John Lund previews Louisville's Week 13 game at SMU on Saturday afternoon and recaps the Cardinals coming back in the second half to beat Cincinnati on the hardwood Friday night, 74-64. In football, it'll be a new look offense, with quarterback Miller Moss expected to miss the game and freshman Deuce Adams getting his first career start in his place, also without Louisville's two best running backs behind him. In hoops, Louisville responded to Cincinnati's tough first half defense with senior Ryan Conwell and freshman Mikel Brown Jr. taking over in the second half to lead the Cardinals on the comeback to remain unbeaten.

Host John Lund chats with "Producer Keith" Arutoff, co-host of From The Pink Seats Podcast as part of The State of Louisville. He's a former offensive lineman at Georgetown College who threw his cleats over the electrical wire after a couple seasons to focus his time as a hammer thrower for the track and field team, where he holds several school and meet records. We'll talk about he landed on the podcast, what goes into their film breakdowns, if there's an answer to what happened to Louisville football these past couple weeks, what needs to change to beat SMU and Kentucky and his best memories from his hammer throw days in college.

Host John Lund chats with Jody Demling, a legend covering Louisville sports, about what's happened to the football team and what to expect from men's hoops this season. Jody is the sideline reporter for the University of Louisville Radio Network, the publisher for Cardinal Authority with 247 Sports, host for the Cards Cast podcast, play-by-play for ACC Network and was also a longtime writer for the Louisville Courier-Journal.

Host John Lund recap Louisville's 20-19 loss to Clemson on last Friday night. What went wrong, what went right, what went wrong again, and what head coach Jeff Brohm and QB Miller Moss had to say about it afterward. It was the end of any ACC championship game or the College Football Playoff hopes, and the third of now three losses that still had plenty of chances to win, despite more frustrating play from the offense and the worst game of the season from special teams. The same mistakes that plagued the team throughout the season came at the game's most important moments, critical mistakes as Jeff Brohm put it about 200 times after the game. Guess we're on to basketball season! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Host John Lund previews Louisville's Week 12 home game against Clemson on Friday night, first by talking to William McDermott and then hearing from head coach Jeff Brohm on what he thinks about the Tigers. William is a publisher for On3's Cardinal Sports and also does play-by-play for the Louisville Sports Network. He's also an Indiana University Media School grad, so we joke about if he'd rather be covering Indiana for the run they've been on, what went wrong for the Cardinals on Saturday against Cal, what needs to change to beat Clemson, and what Pat Kelsey has meant to the Louisville basketball program and picking up his first win in the rivalry with Kentucky. For Clemson, the Tigers will have the best defensive line that Louisville has seen since Miami, and a quarterback that hasn't forgotten how to play football despite a dud of a Heisman campaign. The pressure will be back on the defense, and on Miller Moss to respond from losing to Cal. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Host John Lund recaps Louisville hoops beating Kentucky at home, 96-88, to finally take back the rivalry, and with the player on the floor. Freshman Mikel Brown Jr. was phenomenal for the Cards, dropping 29 points and hitting the big shots when needed as the leader on the floor. Ryan Conwell was the perfect compliment in the backcourt, Isaac McKneely showed off his sharp shooting and Sananda Fru had a sellout crowd chanting his name. After a breakfast ball last year, Pat Kelsey got the best of Mark Pope and hopefully brought set forth on a new era for the Battle of the Bluegrass. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Host John Lund recaps Louisville's 29-26 overtime loss to Cal in Week 11, just about ending any hopes of the Cardinals making it to the ACC championship game and/or the College Football Playoff.

Host John Lund previews Louisville's Week 11 home game against the California Golden Bears and what the Cards need to do to keep their ACC championship and College Football Playoff hopes alive. Also, just one more rant about the first CFP rankings. Not much of a secret on how to stop Cal! It's stopping the arm of lefty freshman QB Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele, who ranks fourth in the conference in passing yards but is also tied for second in interceptions. His throws can be dazzling or disastrous, and the Cardinals No. 1 conference defense will be hoping for more of the latter. Louisville will have some different names in the backfield, with Isaac Brown out with a hamstring injury but Duke Watson probable to be back from a leg injury. With the ACC championship game and College Football Playoff still up for grabs, UofL can hopefully take care of business. And, one more rant on the first CFP rankings, with two more voices to support our arguments from last episode. Andrea Adelson and David Hale on the Inside ACCess show provided more great insight on the stupidity of Miami being eight spots away from Notre Dame, how that impacts Louisville and where the Cards should have actually been ranked.

Host John Lund gets mad online (figuratively) about Louisville's spot in the first College Football Playoff rankings and rants about who gets picked for the committee and the selection process of the teams overall. Also, sound from head coach Jeff Brohm's Monday press conference about beating Virginia Tech and what to expect against Cal in Week 11, handing out this week's game ball, how the rest of ACC football fared in Week 10, and what the boys in Vegas think about the conference. The Cardinals have the third-best odds in the conference to win the ACC Championship, but best odds of the ACC to make the College Football Playoff, and win the whole thing?!

Host John Lund recaps Louisville's 28-16 win at Virginia Tech in Week 10 to improve the Cards to 7-1 overall and 4-1 in the conference. We'll go over the highs and lows, what plays stood out to change the game and hear back from what head coach Jeff Brohm had to say about the win. A spooky first half the day after Halloween for Louisville that completely flipped in the second half, with UofL outscoring the Hokies 21-0 and keeping their ACC championship hopes alive.

Host John Lund previews Louisville's Week 10 matchup against Virginia Tech at Lane Stadium and what the Cards can do to beat the Hokies in yet another Battle of the Birds. We'll also hear more of Jeff Brohm's thoughts from beating Boston College and what to expect at VT, as well as how the rest of ACC football fared in Week 9 and what the boys in Vegas think about the conference. It's the same ol' song and dance for how the Cardinals win this game that we've been talking about for weeks now. A smart game from Miller Moss, establishing the running game, slaying the dragon that is a dual-threat quarterback, winning the turnover battle and not committing stupid penalties. Louisville is playing meaningful football in November, something that a lot of teams expected to be coming into the season and are no longer. And, some Louisville teams that maybe had more talent or promise or trust, also did not. Because even with all the hemming and hawing that comes on social media after games, the Cards are still 6-1, and still in position to reach all of their goals.

Host John Lund recaps Louisville's 38-24 win over Boston College in what was ugly, exciting, boring and thrilling Week 9 win, along with sound from Jeff Brohm's postgame press conference. History thankfully didn't repeat itself with the Cardinals suffering an upset the game immediately after winning by with an upset of their own, though the game certainly was uneasy at times. The running game carried the load, the defense did its job once again and UofL improved to 6-1 and still in the mix to play for an ACC championship. We'll highlight the best and worst moments, react to Coach Brohm's commentary and review individual performances in winning the Battle of the Birds. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Coach Brohm reflects on the win, how the offensive line played, great games from Miller Moss, Chris Bell and Trevonte Sylvester and the O-Line, what went into calling the fake field goal and added wrinkles to the playcalling, and more. Duke and Washington State did the Cardinals no favors in losing to Georgia Tech and Virginia, but the Cards are still in the hunt to make the ACC championship game (and College Football Playoff) after the dust settled from the weekend. And, we award one lucky UofL player with the Bleav In Louisville Game Ball for Week 8, shinier and firmier than the other game balls. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Highlights of the highs and lows in the "Swells for UofL" and "Unwells for UofL," big plays and game-changing moments, stats for the nerds, and hope still alive to win an ACC Championship. In one of the biggest wins in program history over the last many years, we had Wildcat formations and fake field goals in the first quarter, a staunch rushing attack (finally) against one of college football's best defenses, four interceptions from the Louisville defense, another Chris Bell masterpiece, garbage penalties that could have swung the game, all while on the national stage.

Host John Lund takes a look at how the rest of ACC football fared in Week 6 and what the boys in Vegas think about the conference, as well as what the other Cardinals fall sports teams have been up to across the league. To no surprise, Miami is now heavily favored to win the ACC in football and is an early 13.5 favorite over visiting Louisville this Friday night. Highlights in fall sports include a sweep in women's volleyball, a tough loss in field hockey, a draw in women's soccer, a road trip coming for men's soccer, Athlete of the Week honors in men's cross country and swimming, and retiring Ulysses "Junior" Bridgeman's number in men's basketball.

Host John Lund recaps Louisville's devastating 30-27 overtime loss to visiting No. 24 Virginia in Week 6 on Saturday. Highlights of the highs and lows, big plays and game changing moments, and sound from head coach Jeff Brohm's post game press conference help make sense of it all. The Cardinals outgained Virginia's top five offense in the country by 180 yards in the air and almost 150 overall, and lost the game. Virginia had 10 possessions in regulation and scored on just two of them, and still won the game. Louisville senior Chris Bell had 12 catches for 170 yards and scored one more touchdown than Virginia did, and still lost the game. Four plays highlight this game's Unwells for UofL: the scoop and score and Pick-Six, the missed field goal to end the first half, and a 3rd and 20 that didn't actually have to happen and resulted in UVA's lone offensive touchdown. Louisville now falls to 4-1 overall and 1-1 in the ACC, basically needing to win-out or have a lot of help along the way to make it to the ACC championship game, with Miami the first opponent on deck after another bye week.
