Cardinal Couple Radio Hour

The Summer Slump continues, but Paulie, Jared, and Case work to bring you the joy and excitement of schedule talk. The guys take a deep dive into the schedules for the three primary fall women's sports at UofL: soccer, field hockey, and volleyball.

It seems like everything comes back to the almighty dollar for the crew this week. Paulie, Daryl, and Case look at the news of a softball departure, which leads to a discussion of the college athletics landscape as a whole. More exciting news about other sports on campus, soccer and track and field, for example, lead back to the same conversation. It's a rich conversation during the summer slump that usually lacks content.

Paulie and Case are back to play the two-man game in this week's episode after an extended break. Unfortunately, it's the summer slump, so there isn't much to do other than catch up on some news that may have flown under the radar.

Paulie, Jared, and Daryl bring you the show this week as they talk about the last two weeks in Louisville women's athletics. Unfortunately it's mostly seasons ending, but there are positives to look at as well.

The guys spend a long time breaking down the tough comeback against FSU that fell just short for Louisville softball. Afterwards, they take a look at what is going wrong for the lacrosse program before wrapping with some sad and some happy final thoughts.

Paulie, Jared, and Case go off the beaten path for spring sports as, while they talk about the softball and lacrosse squads, there is a lot of exciting stuff to talk about with volleyball and WBB.

Paulie and Case play the two man game today as they cover the lacrosse season's rapidly approaching end, disappointment and optimism for softball, and recent WBB news.

After a couple of weeks off for various reasons, the crew returns in force to talk basketball, softball, lacrosse, and the unending rain in Louisville.

Louisville WBB struggled offensively in their two ACC Tournament games without Jayda Curry and Merissah Russell, so what now? Plus, softball opens their ACC slate with a resounding win.

Louisville WBB had an up and down week but spring sports are here. The guys talk about the season opening upset win for lacrosse and the split opening day for softball.

The big news of the week came from a sport that isn't even actively playing. Louisville volleyball has a new head coach in Dan Meske after Dani Busboom-Kelly accepted the open Nebraska position. The crew spends most of the episode on that before expressing confusion at WBB's performance Thursday and concern about the big matchup against Notre Dame.

It's a basketball heavy episode this week as the Cards win streak grows to 7. The crew talks about their view so far and what comes next.

The prime topic of the show today is Louisville's huge redemption win over Pittsburgh to get a chance to play for a national title. The crew also looks at the matchup with Penn State and previews basketball against Memphis.

It's a full house for the first time in a long time, and the crew talks about the recent WBB win over Grambling and the constant stream of volleyball during the postseason.

The crew is four-strong today with Jared in Lexington for the UofL/UK football game. The gang talks about the big road week for Louisville women's basketball and the two huge end of season matches for Louisville volleyball. There is also plenty of Thanksgiving food discussion to start.

WBB had their party spoiled in the Battle of the Bluegrass last week but bounced back with a dominating win over Morehead State. Volleyball continued their impressive run ahead of two huge matches next week.

As Jared points out this week, it's a blue-heavy weekend for UofL women's athletics. Volleyball took down Duke Friday and faces UNC on Sunday. WBB gets right into the action with an early Battle of the Bluegrass Saturday night. All that and more on this week's episode.

Louisville field hockey and women's soccer appear to be done for the 2024 season, but volleyball is still rolling strong. Paulie, Jared, and Case fight through some technical hiccups to bring you this week's show.

There are three on board again this week as the guys bring you more excitement from L&N Federal Credit Union Arena and less joy from Lynn Stadium and Trager.

Louisville Volleyball continued their big season so far with a pair of sweeps and a road win at FSU. Soccer and Field Hockey were unfortunately unable to break their skids. Join Paulie, Jeff, and Case (and a surprise Jared) for all that and more.

All three Louisville fall sports had ACC matches this week and there were plenty of mixed results. Paulie, Jeff, and Case cover those while looking ahead to big events.

Field Hockey gains some momentum heading into the conference stretch and volleyball is doing well in the midst of a difficult run of matches. All that and more this week.

Louisville women's athletics saw every result possible this week, with a win, a draw, and a loss. This week's crew of three cover it all, with a particular focus on the huge season-opening victory for volleyball.

The guys (sans Daryl) discuss the latest news regarding NCAA scholarship changes and chat about the Olympics. In both, they look at the impacts to UofL sports. All that and more (including travel woes) this week.

There have been a fair amount of news items coming out about various fall sports, though none too impactful. The crew from the WCHQ days takes you through the latest for UofL women's athletics.

With the summer slump in full swing, the crew returns to an old tradition of the Cardinal Couple Quiz (led by primarily by Case missing the text version earlier in the week). It's a basketball heavy show with some other news peppered in.

You'd be forgiven if you forgot that this show was about Louisville women's sports, as it seems we did for the first half of the episode. There's news to discuss, including a new schedule for volleyball according to Paulie. Volleyball, basketball, and more on this week's show.

We frequently struggle to find content during the summer months when Louisville athletics are inactive, but recent news has given the crew plenty to discuss. They talk women's soccer schedule, coaches, and recently announced volleyball scheduling.

The summer slump is here. Daryl is out for her birthday but the guys do some minor season wrap up on lacrosse and softball before turning to the basketball roster construction.

The crew is back after taking last week off for the Kentucky Derby. There aren't a ton of results to talk about, but the guys (missing Daryl) talk about some postseason awards, other news around campus, and UofL's newest ACC Champion, Jayden Ulrich.

There are three on hand today as various things keep Jared and Daryl away. The guys cover trees, phones, and Derby parties before tackling the actual topics of the week.

We're off next week for Derby!
