The C.L. Brown Show

This episode of The C.L. Brown Show features Chad Bishop, the Georgia Tech beat writer for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, to discuss the Yellow Jackets' Week 4 college football game against Louisville.

Bishop first covered U of L coach Jeff Brohm when he made his debut as head coach at Western Kentucky. The former WKU beat writer for the Bowling Green Daily News explains why Georgia Tech coach Brent Key respects Brohm's programs, how quarterback Haynes King is the key for the Yellow Jackets and why the Cardinals could be another Syracuse for the Tech secondary.

This episode of The C.L. Brown Show features Courier Journal Kentucky beat writer Ryan Black to discuss the Wildcats' showdown with No. 1 Georgia.

Black tells why the Cats' offensive line might be the key to improving after UK's 31-6 loss to South Carolina. He also explains why Georgia transfer Brock Vandagriff's familiarity with his former team might not be an advantage. Even with Texas and Tennessee emerging, Black details why the Southeastern Conference race is still UGA's to lose.  

This episode of The C.L. Brown Show features previously recorded interviews with two Atlantic Coast Conference quarterbacks that made news last week: Boston College quarterback Thomas Costellanos and North Carolina quarterback Connor Harrell.

Costellanos led the Eagles to a 28-13 upset win at Florida State on Monday. He talks about making the transition to play for longtime NFL coach Bill O'Brien, why he stayed at Boston College after the coaching change and what he plans to do to make a name for himself.

Harrell became UNC's QB1 after Max Johnson suffered a season-ending leg injury in their opening win over Minnesota. He talks about learning while being a backup to Drake Maye, who was taken third overall in the NFL draft by the New England Patriots. And the difference between preparing knowing he's the starter as opposed to being ready as a backup.

This week's episode of The C.L. Brown Show features CBS Sports' Chip Patterson. Patterson breaks down what changes Louisville football has to make after losing receiver Caullin Lacy to injury; why he puts the Cardinals in contention to repeat their visit to the ACC championship game and where Kentucky fits in an SEC with two more powerhouse programs in Texas and Oklahoma to try to navigate.

This week's episode of The C.L. Brown Show features former Louisville football players Jack Plummer and Jawhar Jordan.

Plummer explains what keeps him from putting too much pressure on himself and the biggest difference between college football and the NFL. Jordan tells what it's like to spend up to 12 hours a day immersed in football and what U of L fans can expect from his former high school teammate Tyler Shough at quarterback.

This week's episode of The C.L. Brown Show features ACC newcomers: Louisville quarterback Tyler Shough, Boston College coach Bill O'Brien and Stanford's Troy Taylor. Shough explains how to properly pronounce his last name and the meaning behind it. He tells what he learned from being current Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert's backup when they both played at Oregon. And what it's like being the married man in the locker room.

This week's episode of The C.L. Brown Show features former Trinity High School and University of Louisville quarterback Will Stein, who now serves as the offensive coordinator at Oregon.

Stein shares memories of legendary Trinity coach Dennis Lampley, who died last month. He also recalls the trouble the game Call of Duty 3 got the Cardinals into with former U of L head coach Charlie Strong. It's why Stein is glad EA Sports College Football '25 was released in the summer instead of the season. And he reveals the influences that helped shape his promising career as a play caller after leading the Ducks to the No. 2 offense nationally in scoring, passing and total offense last season.

This week's episode of The C.L. Brown Show features Louisville football coach Jeff Brohm, who talks about what it will take to return to the ACC championship game.

Louisville defensive end Ashton Gillotte and cornerback Quincy Riley also join the show to discuss the 2024 season, which begins Aug. 31 against Austin Peay, and EA Sports College Football 25.

This week's episode of The C.L. Brown Show features Louisville men's basketball coach Pat Kelsey, who replaced Kenny Payne after just two years at the helm.

Kelsey discusses building a relationship with U of L point guard Chucky Hepburn, who transferred from Wisconsin, the advantages of building a completely new roster and the Cardinals' upcoming exhibition games in the Bahamas. He also reveals how he came to choose the black rimmed glasses that are quickly becoming part of his character.

This week's episode of The C.L. Brown Show features former Louisville guard Russ Smith, who is playing for The Villein The Basketball Tournament beginning this week at Freedom Hall.

Smith explains what advice he'd give to the current Cardinals as they try to quickly bond under first-year head coach Pat Kelsey. Smith talks about his venture into his own bourbon brand, Mr. & Mrs. And why after a decade since former coach Rick Pitino coined the nickname "Russdiculous," it still lives on in the most unlikeliest of places.
