All the players that transferred or declared for the draft.....good luck to you all. But wow. Congrats to the guys that stuck around and got the victory in the sun bowl over Washington

Thank you players and Coaching Staff for a thrilling end to the season.
What a Great Team Win !!!

Syracuse has the only win, 52-35 over Washington State in the Holiday Bowl.

Miami pulled Cam Ward with a 31-28 lead at halftime and lost 42-41 to Iowa State. Backup Emory Williams went 5-14 for 26 yards and 1 interception.

About time we played a team that didn't or couldn't suffocate the Cards defensively. This Cards team needs to find its groove offensively and FSU was the perfect opponent.

18 assists and 6 turnovers.

Good looks usually leads to made shots and the Cards did just that. Great game for Smith and kudos for Waterman.

All around great butt kicking on the road.

This is going to be a challenging season and I am glad we have Cochran, Harris, Russell and Curry. We might not be a top 25 team but those 4 are probably the difference between a losing season and a winning season.

Interesting read ....


With coaches bailing out left and right, you gotta wonder why Leonhard Hamilton is still sticking it out. Especially with all this off-court stuff causing massive problems.

6 former Florida State players file lawsuit against coach Leonard Hamilton over NIL compensation​

The plaintiffs allege Hamilton promised each of them $250K in NIL payments from the coach’s "business partners"​

Six former Florida State basketball players filed a lawsuit Monday against their former coach, Leonard Hamilton, over unpaid promises of NIL compensation that total $1.5 million and acknowledged within the documents that they boycotted a practice last season over the missed payments.

The legal complaint, filed in Florida’s Leon County circuit court, is an unprecedented and fascinating filing in the era of athlete compensation as roughly half of a former team makes shocking claims against one of college basketball’s more accomplished coaches.

The six plaintiffs — Darin Green Jr., Josh Nickelberry, Primo Spears, Cam’Ron Fletcher, De’Ante Green and Jalen Warley — allege that Hamilton promised each of them $250,000 in NIL payments from the coach’s “business partners.”

The players never received the payments despite Hamilton promising the money to each member of the 2023-24 team in two separate team meetings as well as in individual conversations with some players and their families. Several players transferred to Florida State under the assurance that they would receive the money.

As evidence of the NIL promises, the complaint includes multiple text-message exchanges among players, between players and Hamilton, and between players and Will Cowen, an executive with one of Florida State's NIL collectives.

In one of the more striking revelations, FSU players say they boycotted a practice before a Feb. 17 game against Duke. They “walked out of the gym” during practice to show their frustration over the unpaid NIL promises and they intended to boycott the game as well, the claim says. Hamilton discovered the plan and, in a meeting in the team’s film room, re-emphasized that the money would be in the players’ accounts the very next week. Players competed in the game, losing to the Blue Devils, 76-67.

In several messages to Cowen and in conversations with Hamilton, players .... (See more at the link above).

Merry Christmas to everyone.
Hope you get all the Cards stuff you want.

UofL has met the total amount of wins we had all of last year and it's only December 28. Congrats to the guys for working hard.

no 2 deep player is skipping the bowl. they bought highest amount of coverage ever for sanders and hunter. but made sure any player getting injured was taken care of. what a concept.

I know this is the basketball forum, but since the men's program is the only national champion in history of the university, I feel it's appropriate for me to vent here.

I told my wife I would be shocked if the Volleyball team beat Penn State today for the title. She rolled her eyes like usual, but I was correct because it's against the rules for UofL to win a national championship in any major sport.

That's what it seems like with Cards sports. The baseball team was dominant for over a decade. No world series title. The women's basketball team gets to the title game twice and has to face the juggernaut Uconn teams. And don't forget the horrible no foul call that kept the ladies from playing ND in the finals.

The football program hasn't really had a chance to play for it all. Some say the Rutgers loss or the UCF loss, but we don't know for sure Louisville would have made the title game had they won both games. But still, it took bullshit to lose both those games to ever know.

Just the men's hoops program has won it all but the last one in 2013 was of course vacated out of spite and ignorance. I wouldn't be shocked if the 1980 and 1986 titles were removed over some BS. That's how unfortunate it is at the University of Louisville.

Now I know there's been champions in the Olympic sports programs and the cheerleading program has been the "UCLA hoops" of that competition. But for the major sports that now includes Volleyball and soccer, the ultimate prize always eludes the Ville. Remember several years ago the men's soccer team lost in the finals.

I guess the men's basketball team has to win another title so the other sports teams can win one? The curse has to be broken eventually.

I remember talking to a Miami fan during our game with them. He said their defense was very questionable. He said if they made the playoffs it would be exposed. He was correct. But this….
I think you’ll be able to see it if you click on the link.

Stat of the century! The Bengals had never scored an Offensive Touchdown in any Overtime game in the 50 year history of Overtimes. 44 times they went to OT and 44 tiems they didn't score a TD, how is that possible? but it's the bungals so you'd expect it.

"It took 50 years, but it finally happened: For the first time in franchise history, the Cincinnati Bengals scored an offensive touchdown in overtime.

Since NFL overtime was instituted in 1974, the Bengals had played a total 44 OT games going into their Week 17 game against the Broncos and not one time did they score an offensive touchdown, which is almost unfathomable.

The Bengals defense scored an overtime touchdown to win a game back in 1998, but the offense had never done it before this week.

The drought finally ended on Saturday and it ended dramatically when Joe Burrow hit Tee Higgins for a walk-off 3-yard touchdown to give the Bengals a 30-24 win over the Denver Broncos. "

I would really appreciate if someone knows of a way to watch the Cards on the CW network. Now I'm talking about free streaming if possible.

We have Sling at our home and CW doesn't support them as a provider once you sign up for free at the CW site. Same thing on Roku TV.

I missed the FSU game because I couldn't find anything that I didn't have to subscribe to. (Fubo, YouTube TV, etc..) if it's not possible then I would at least like to know that for sure. If there's going to be many more CW broadcasts I will have to consider purchasing one of these providers.

The Cards fan that used to have UofL sports broadcast on his Facebook group is no longer doing that for some reason. Do we even know how many more Cards games will be on the CW network?

Thanks for any help.

Vandeross III is a Junior WR at Toledo; his 12 receptions for 194 yards in yesterday’s win over Pitt was as impressive as any that I have seen this season. Only 5’8”, but displayed the ability to elevate on several acrobatic catches, and his ability to run elusive routes all over the field catch everything thrown at him, was reminiscent of Harry Douglass. In one 4th quarter series he alone had 4 consecutive receptions despite everyone in the stadium knowing that he was the target.

Cards are 19 point favorites on Draftkings and total is 155.5. Pomeroy ratings have it Cards 86-69. EKU defense is bad and ranked 296th. Tipoff scheduled for noon Saturday. Teamrankings.com stats:

Miami is now open which joins Virginia. Syracuse is potentially going to open up if they continue to trend downward, currently at 5-6.

This is a critical point for the ACC. These 3 schools all have had very successful programs of late and the league needs them back at a high level.

Would like to see Miami consider Will Wade. Virginia should get Doug McDermott from Creighton. Syracuse should go after Xavier’s coach, Sean Miller. Let’s get some known and proven coaches in the league. No more former players with zero head coaching experience.
