Women's Basketball Enters the Home Stretch as Spring Sports Kick Off

With Case out for the week, a surprising foursome on the show as Paulie starts to dip his toe back into participation with Cardinal Couple after his time out for health reasons. It's great to have our leader's voice back on the show and to hear his insights.

A quick visit to Softball and Lacrosse as they begin their season this week, and then coverage and thoughts on WBB as they've started down the home stretch, with a whole series of top-level competitors, of the season with thoughts of post-season play starting to be considered.

A survey across most UofL women's sports

The CCRHP crew takes a jog along just about all of Floyd Street as they cover tidbits and treats from most of the UofL women's sports programs. Personnel changes in Softball, Women's Basketball, Women's Soccer, and Lacrosse are in the run down, along with a brief recap of Volleyball in Brazil.

Wedding Trumpets, local Softball, foreign Volleyball, and local Basketball, and Millenials

The Cardinal Couple Crew once again gets together to discuss Summer things like weddings, summer excursions, local connections being built in a couple of UofL sports programs, and more.


After a diversion into the differing approach that Millineals have to the world than previous generations, Jared, Jeff, and Paulie talk about the impact that the volleyball trip to Brazil will have on the team in the fall, and whether that program has to potential to take another, final step to the top of the heap come December. They next delve into Softball pitching, starting from Brooke Gray's imminent arrival on campus in the fall and explore how the game of Softball has changed with respect to pitching. Finally the trio explores the local connections for Basketball and celebrate what seems to be some improved relations between the UofL program and local high schools.

Summer Travels and Events

Summer Travels and Events

A hearkening back to the old days of the basement on a hill as Paul and Jeff look at what comes next for Softball, with a dive into the incoming freshman class for UofL Softball and how it does, or doesn't, backfill the departing skillsets. They also share some news of Cards in the Pros, from Softball and Volleyball, bring a quick update of the Volleyball team's trip to Brazil, the Basketball team's upcoming trip to Canada, and a hint of some news in the Lacrosse Coaching staff.


We celebrate and congratulate the happy couple, Jared and Katy, on their wedding later today.


And the cake.

Spring Sports Recap

Spring Sports Recap

The athletic calendar is getting pretty sparse as the spring sports close out their competition for the year.


Jared, Jeff and Paul take the opportunity to review the overall seasons and successes, particularly for Softball and Lacrosse. They also share about ongoing competition for a handful of Track and Field Athletes, and finally, but definitely not any less importantly, they sing the academic praises of the various athletic programs at UofL, and particularly the women's programs.

Softball Still on a Tear; HVL Fallout

Questions abound, Softball plays a weird weekend schedule, and plenty of other news

The gang discusses the results of games from Softball, including a walk-off steal of home - check that off your bingo card if you've got it - a Lacrosse heartbreaker against Cincinnati, and Fall sports exhibition play. They also take a few minutes to share some thoughts about mass shootings in general, and specifically the one that occurred on Monday in downtown Louisville, as it hits close.

There were several other discussions, such as how much success should we expect from Softball playing Oklahoma, the number one team in the country; is this season the time to make a coaching change in Lacrosse; and how and where to find parking today with so many events going on along Floyd Street.

Add in a few news and notes from Volleyball and it was a good show. Check it out!

April fun in an early show with Basketball, Softball, Lacrosse, and other Exhibition Play

It may be April Fool's Day, but no tricks here other than an early start because of crew availability reasons. The winters are all over and we talk a bit about the wrap up of UofL basketball for the season. Daryl goes on an excellent rant about TV coverage and officiating handling of media darling players.

We talk about Softball, and some of the players that are stepping up and having an impact for Holly Aprile's team, Lacrosse, and a bit about Volleyball spring exhibition play.

Basketball Comes Down To The Wire and Spring Sports Get In The Swing Of Things.

Basketball Comes Down To The Wire and Spring Sports Get In The Swing Of Things.

The Cardinals are all over the place this week, with competitions on Floyd Street, downtown and all around the eastern part of the US.  The gang spend some time discussing Lacrosse, Softball, and the down-to-the-wire regular season in Women's Basketball.  Along the way we give a shout out to the amazing UofL basketball stats crew.  We also spend some time speculating on just how much Paulie will be missed in Greensboro for the ACC Women's Basketball tournament.  We imagine it just won't be the same without him there.

A Basketball break and Imminent Spring Sports

A bye week means no Thursday game to talk about for WBB, but Jared, Jeff, and Paulie discuss the win over Syracuse in the JMA Dome and look forward to UNC back at the KFC Yum! Center.

Add in a sprinkling of Softball and Lacrosse, which will be kicking off their seasons this week.

No animals were harmed in the recording of this podcast, but as for plants...well, you'll have to listen to hear how that turns out.
