Watch out for Hurricane Kragthorpe - it may break someone’s finger nail.

If you’ve followed Gustav and it’s damage, you know the game: The National Hurricane Center routinely thinks of names for each year’s hurricanes, from A-to-Z, and retires names of big storms (i.e. There will never be a Gustav or Katrina again). So, we got bored. Again. Really bored. And we thought of our list of [...]

Was Bobby Petrino THIS good, Steve Kragthorpe THIS bad, or Tom Jurich THIS clueless?

We realize coaches often leave programs in bad shape, and the next coach gets blamed for a lot of things he can’t control. But in the case of Louisville football, come on: Losing 27-2, at home, to your rival Kentucky? Seven losses in Steve Kragthorpe’s first 13 games, with a team that won the 2007 [...]

Wait, we thought his name was Steve Kragthorpe, not Joe.

Spotted at the Louisville International Airport: This sign, an ad for Jewish Hospital. In the middle is Louisville basketball coach. On the left is football coach Steve Kragthorpe. On the right is, well, the “regular Joe” for the ad. Lookie:

We’re really not trying to pile on Steve. Heck, guy’s dug his own grave: Going 6-6 [...]

Louisville take the “information” part out of sports information

Hasn’t been a good week for the University of Louisville sports information department.
Start last Tuesday when ESPN.com’s Pat Forde quoted a source inside UofL saying football coach Steve Kragthorpe was “50-50″ on taking the open SMU job. Then WHAS-11 TV quoted another source saying the same thing. Only they named him: Football sports information [...]

Dear Readers, LWN wishes you all a happy and prosperous Thanksgiving.  Remember to spend time with your loved ones.  Let them know what you are thankful for.  Also, wonder out loud what the Native Americans are thankful for.  Perhaps the white man coming to the New World, stealing their land, destroying their envirnoment, giving them [...]

Louisville’s Padgett cracks knee cap, 15-year career likely over

So it looks like David Padgett will end his college hoops career the with what hampered him much of it: A knee injury.
Louisville coach Rick Pitino announced Monday the senior will miss at least ten weeks after cracking his right knee cap in Sunday’s 84-53 win over Jackson State.

Ok, we enjoy a catchy song as much as anyone …

And John Radcliff of AOL Fanhouse had us singing his stuff all day yesterday.
Monday we showed you John’s hilarious song about Louisville coach Steve Kragthorpe. What we didn’t realize is John, with the editing help from Pete Holiday, did one of these every week. Here’s the collection. We enjoy the Phil Fulmer/donut song, and the [...]

Pitino says boo and you die

Go negative on the struggling University of Louisville football team? Boo new football coach Steve Kragthorpe? You’re gonna have report to Kentucky’s top Italian.
At Tuesday’s tip-off luncheon for Pitino’s basketball team, King Rick used six of his 20-minute speech to chastise Louisville fans who have booed the team many times this season (mainly in embarrassing [...]

Don’t worry coach: I ate the evidence.

According to police report, University of Louisville Cardinals linebacker Willie Williams had a simple solution when he was about to arrest him for possession of pot: He chowed down as much of it as possible.
Shocker of the day: It didn’t work. Louisville quickly kicked him off the team.
Wednesday night an officer pulled Williams over for [...]

Welcome to my press conference, you dirty little …

Apparently the happy times are already running out for new University of Louisville head coach Steve Kragthorpe. 
According to the Louisville Courier-Journal’s Rick Bozich, WAVE-3 TV’s Bob Domine asked if Cardinal players are taking advantage of  Kragthorpe’s player-oriented approach (compared to former coach Bobby Petrino’s harsh methods). Kragthorpe’s didn’t like the question at all. His response? The coach asked Domine [...]
