Chick-Stratino'sUrDaddy

In July of 2011, right before the team's Bahamas trip, I wrote about the "Great Expectations" for this program in the coming season. I wrote about how they were expectations that Rick Pitino had...

With the news that the "Louisville Lip" would be in attendance tonight..... I adapted one of his more famous poems, which he recited to the media before the Liston fight, here. Guards rush into...

Sitting in my apartment, staring into the blank television screen I had just turned off, my better half asked me if I was alright. It was our first place together, she had seen that blank stare of...

So,.... it's come to this. Once again Louisville and Michigan State will meet again in the NCAA Tournament. My heart was cheering for Sparty this afternoon, but my brain was telling me I wanted SLU...

Coach Pitino brought Gorgui and Russ with him to the post game presser, after last night's game. The result was a 24 minute mix of solid gold hilarious, adorable, and inspirational moments from all...

So, apparently there is a conspiracy theory sweeping through Big Blue Nation. The theory, is that UPS is working in cahoots with the University of Louisville to make the Cats look bad. Does anyone r...

I've heard lots of talk this week about Conference Tournaments and whether or not they really matter. Most of the UK fans that I know are spouting off about how Conference Tournaments don't mean...

The Big East season officially ended last night. It ended in just about the most glorious way it could have, and after what we've seen, during the last week, I don't think there is any way to deny...

Well,.... this will be short. I said I would measure Pitino's approval rating three more times after the initial Poll following the USF loss. Here is Poll number two. Three and four will come after...

I find it very interesting that so many people are already giving up on this season. I've seen, and heard people saying that they hope we just lose out and go to the NIT,.... for various reasons. I...

I posted before the season and asked whether this year was "Final Four or Bust" for you fanatics out there. The poll closed down at 852 votes,.... with the final outcome being 50% Yes, & 49% No....

With only two games remaining in the regular season and only three guaranteed before selection Sunday, it's safe to say that the Cards have done enough to make the tournament. The only unknown...

Those of us who are old enough to remember Louisville basketball all the way back to the Metro Days, realize that the one true Rival we've kept throughout the years is Cincinnati. Even as a child, g...

After the UConn game last week I made the comment to my fiance that Peyton Siva finally looked like he was happy, and having fun again. She replied that it was almost as if he had finally escaped...

I've always been a fan of the "big man." Probably because I'm a big guy. Little league, middle school, rec leagues, pickup games,.... you name the setting, and whenever I've played basketball I was...

Since recruiting has come up a lot lately and the best player in Kentucky, "since Rando" according to Jody Demilng, is all set to commit to UK at 4pm,... I thought I'd take a poll of your thoughts....

For those who don't know, and if you don't know then you live somewhere outside of the Louisville area, two of the biggest media personalities in our City,..... nay, the State of Kentucky, are...

While at work, I am a regular listener of the Bob Valvano show on ESPN680. Bobby V. did a segment today that I found rather interesting; and, I think it's applicable to the Card Chronicle...

Dear Rick Pitino, I realize that you're very busy, what with the UK game coming up on Saturday. I realize that you're very busy trying to make sure the Big East brings in more basketball centric...

It has become very evident to me that the 2011 version of this Louisville basketball team is capable of playing great defense, for 45 minutes if needed. This team has demonstrated that they can win...

There are multiple reports out there today saying Ron Zook has been fired as the head man at Illinois. It would seem to me, that this is the perfect time to try and rebuild any bridges that were...

Forget the brainwashing/ mind numbing Duke/ Carolina propaganda that ESPN will be cramming down your throats when conference play ramps up after the New Year. There is only one state in America...
