Bleav in Louisville

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Host John Lund recaps Louisville's second half comeback to beat Cincinnati, 74-64, on Friday night to remain unbeaten.

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.
