  • COLUMN: Petrino should be...

    Bobby Petrino seemed truly grateful for a second chance last week as he was introduced, again, as the head football coach for the University of Louisville Cardinals. He should be.
    The man who left Louisville for the NFL with little warning and in a manner that rankled most Cardinal fans, stood before a crowded press conference as a humbled man who now speaks as though Louisville will be his final destination. If so, the trip he took getting here couldn’t have been more bumpy.

  • COLUMN: Halfway through, Ky....

    Kentucky has 15 games left in the regular season, same for Western Kentucky. Louisville has 14. Mid-schedule impressions from here:
    KENTUCKY. Halfway through their college careers, John Calipari’s one-and-doners, in light of preseason hype showered on them, have underachieved.
    Game performance to match preseason No. 1 ranking? One. Defeated Louisville at Rupp Arena. Michigan State and North Carolina aside, Kentucky played a bevy of lightweights, endured something called Camp Cal and at mid-January UK is still learning to be a team.
    Grade. C-minus.

  • COLUMN: Charlie Strong, it’s ‘...

    Happy New Year, Charlie Strong.
    Football in Texas is like football in Brazil, nationalized and a little nutsy. Texas is a nation isn’t it? And basketball is Little Brother, too.
    Meanwhile (most) Louisville football fans were gracious, wished their ex-coach well on his job jump. Media-types went along. Paid homage to a 25-million-dollar-man.
    Just business, man.

  • Lady Bears fall to top-ranked...

    When the top-ranked Anderson County Lady Bearcats came to Taylorsville on Saturday afternoon, most expected them to have an easy time with a Spencer County team that had struggled to a 3-9 start to the season. But probably no one expected the 70-8 route that looked for a while that it might be even worse.
