Funny Guy
John Maupin is a talented cartoonist who also thinks he knows a little something about music and history. His cartoons are a weekly feature here at the Couple!
Clearly marked for your shopping ease?
Classic Cuts
We often listen to music when composing or reading the site. Captain Beyond is this week's featured artist..a super band that fell victim to a failing studio. "Thousand Days of Yesterday" is a great mix of variations on a theme. (Click the pic...)
William on Memorial Day: " It's the first big cookout of the year, which means I'll end up being a hostile witness at one of the kids' houses, sitting in the back yard for hours in an uncomfortable lawn chair watching one of my offspring burn meat on the grill and drinking warm beer while grandkids "rambo" into me every few minutes and the family dog attempts to mate with my leg. Bean bags bouncing off my belly and ending up in my potato salad and burnt, charcoal black spare ribs. Toasted to a crispy red by the sun and suffering from indigestion and fatigue, they'll carry me to the car and Ethyl will drive us home....getting lost 14 times, nearly running over a flock of geese and neglecting all stop signs, traffic signals and oncoming vehicles. Memorial Day? Yeah, I'll remember it...when I'm in the hospital being treated for third-degree burns, ulcers, dehydration and possible pregnancy...
Cletus
A tip to catching the eligible Cletus, girls. Wearing the "bacon dress" will definitely get his attention!
Co-Co
Co-Co and the golfing chimps participated in the PGA (Primates, Gorillas, Apes) Tournament last weekend but failed to turn in a scorecard. Rumor is they were +109 over par after five holes and CoCo fed the scoresheet to Bill the Goat. The gals finished the eighteen holes using only seven irons and putters...having thrown the rest of their clubs in the lake on the fourth hole. Those darn Chimps!
Timmy the Intern
We hope you aren't fooled and purchase "pre-event" tickets to Timmy's latest scam..."Memorial Day Gala Picnic". the little scammer is charging $39.95 for a ham sandwich, can of 7Up and bag of potato chips... ("TIMMY! Report to my office immediately!" -Sonja)
Bill the Goat
Billy went to the Preakness in Baltimore, MD over the weekend and was thrown out of the racetrack for eating 2/3rds of the Black Eyed Susan bouquet they present the winning horse.
Bud Goode Presents...
"Hey, y'all! It's your good buddy Bud Goode here...Here is a easy way to take care of two essential items at the next family barbecue! The BUD GOODE Combination Charcoal Grill and Toilet allows you the ease of relieving yourself with having to stop cooking! Only $349.95 at the Tourniquet and Bandage Hardware Store or you can order by phone but hurry... because Timmy the Intern is now supervising the CARDINAL COUPLE Customer Care chimps and that's a train wreck waiting to happen. (1-800-BUD SALE! )
MArkie MArk
MArkie MArk in a pensive moment...contemplating his temporary role as a pillow at a sporting event. The sacrifices of today reap the rewards of the future...

The Weekly Cheeseburger
Your intrepid chesseburger monger with..."The Fish Sandwich at The Exchange in New Albany is a great break from cheeseburgers. Two huge filets...in a crispy beer flavored batter and enough fries for two people. Pricey as heck...($14) but could easily feed two. We were there for the beer, anyway..."
Corporate Chimp
"Reducing non-essential workplace luxuries can help cut overhead costs and trim your operating budget." Translation= We did away with the coffee, vending machines, toilets and call center. It's amazing how much time we have now to surf the Internet for genuine ideas...
Why certainly!
" Our records search show that you don't exist in our customer base. We did find your Facebook page, though...and wonder if you even have the intelligence to order online...given your entries and comments."
Really?
WE like the idea!
Wrong kind of 'hot' dogs.
What a relief !
In a slump...
It is never ending...
Perfect...
No wonder he three putts ocassionally....
Trust us, it's true!
Ah Chooo!
You mad bro?
"I was justing waving the gun. Seems like no one lets me shoot wherever I go..."
Forgot the Depends...
(Or sat in a wet seat?)
Excuse me!
Whoopsie!
Been there...
UCLA scored how many runs?
( who was pitching for us...Hillary Clinton?)
I'm afraid I have bad news to report, sir...
Our request to host the playoffs was sent back with the scrawled comment..."Prior experience required"
E-MAIL CARDINAL COUPLE
You can e-mail us at: cardinalcouple@insightbb.com. We print and save each and every e-mail and put it in a frame and hang it on the wall. OK, maybe not. But we do read them...
CARDINAL COUPLE reports on UofL women's sports and athletics and attempts to do it from a fan's perspective. WE are not a official part or department of the University of Louisville, but they do give us a lot of help and information for our site. We also cover local horse-racing, too. That's a passion WE both share nearly as strongly as going to Louisville athletic events.
We are non-profit. Mom is so disappointed...
Our OFFICIAL motto here at CARDINAL COUPLE is from the legendary Satchel Paige:
"Don't look back..they may be gaining on you."
(WE ARE NOT a bird-watching site, 'swingers' site, information for Stanford University or any Catholic hierachy. WE don't even like "holier than thou" people much.)
WE are a lot of information and fun, though...and WE invite you to join us for daily update. No fees, no registration, no tracking or cookies (although WE like Macadamia Nut ones).
We'll never "spam" you but we'd be glad to sit down and have a spam sandwich with you. As long as you're buying.
What you'll find here are observations and comments on UofL women's sports with occasional other topics, sidebars, diversions and the wackiness that WE'RE known for. Enjoy!
Also, be advised that some of the sections on the left side of this site are parody and OUR sophomoric attempts at humor. Don't worry, WE'RE not quitting our day jobs...and Bill the Goat can't actually drive a motorcycle or speak Italian.
The Surgeon's General (or maybe he's just a private) recommends 2 daily doses of CARDINAL COUPLE for better overall health and happiness. WE'RE smiling, how about you?
(don't feed Bill the Goat if he shows up at your place. It'll just encourage him to stay...and he's a known instigator.)
These are our principles and if you don't like them...well, we've got others..-Groucho Marx

About the photos...
CARDINAL COUPLE uses photos from all sources in the daily columns that we present to you. If we've used a photo you have taken and want published credit it for it...just contact us and we'll be glad to do so. Shoot, we might even write a feature article about you and call your Mom and tell her what a good son or daughter you are. WE avoid pictures that may be subject to copywrite. Our legal advisors are busy enough chasing ambulances and wheelchairs when they're not trying to figure out trifecta plays at Churchill. Some of the photos are actually taken by the staff of CARDINAL COUPLE. (When we can get the camera away from the chimps). Paul uses his cell phone to take pictures, too. You have been warned. Please realize that the captions that go with the photos are sometimes parodies. It's up to you to figure out which ones are and aren't. We can't spoon feed everything to you, you know... Congratulations if you made it this far in your reading! We know...reading stuff like this can be pretty boring but WE have to put it on the site somewhere so that we can say..."hey, there is disclaimer on the site" in case some bozo decides that they want to sue us or something. Like we have any money. We're so poor we can't even pay attention. We even owe bums money.
I was walking down this road once years ago and I saw this guy chopping down a tree. It was hot, the guy was really sweating and I stopped to watch a while. He finally took a break, cracked a can of beer and then asked me if I had a gun. I hesitated before answering but finally told him that I didn't. He said: "That's a darn shame. I'm cutting down this tree because it's my neighbor's and I'm really pissed off at him right now. I was going to just shoot his sorry a$$..but I decided to do this instead. I'm having second thoughts...though." Somtimes, there just aren't enough trees... (I've never chose that particular walking route since..) .
If I'd taken a picture of that guy working on that tree, I'd been glad to share it with the entire world. That's the way WE see other photos out there. Share 'em and create through exposure and appreciation. We provide credit to the photographer when we feel it's needed. We also pay our taxes on time...
About the owners
( Thanks to Kenny B. for this write up of CARDINAL COUPLE) --CARDINAL COUPLE is owned by Paul and Sonja Sykes. And this means? Started in January 2009, this site is primarily dedicated to womens' athletics at UofL. Other stuff appears here also. Paul and Sonja are both employed in full time jobs not related to the site and run it as a hobby, passion and commitment to the 'joyous excitement that is Cardinal Womens' Athletics.' It isn't always easy, but they try to stay fresh, relevant and timely. Paul is in marketing, Sonja a public school employee. It's worth a daily read. With 5 writers and a cast of imaginary characters, CARDINAL COUPLE is unique as far as sports websites go. I tried to sit down with them for a more in-depth interview but Sonja refused to comment on the site other than noting "It's all Paul. I smile and grin a lot. That's important to know and I want that on the record in case the feds ever raid us." Paul refused to grant me an interview either, matter-of-factly telling me that he's holding out for an appearance on the Jon Stewart Show or Cake Wars. He also suggested I watch the movie "No Time For Sergeants" or the classic bit "Who's On First?" to gain a better insight and knowledge concerning his thought process. Regardless, I recommend CARDINAL COUPLE and give it four out of five stars. After all, it is women's sports. We dig Timmy the Intern and glad to see that William Frawley has resurfaced -- even if it's only in the mind of Paul. They provide links, have a comments section but no message board. You can find it at www.cardinalcouple.com and it is updated daily. Their liberal usage of pictures and photos helps break up the monotony of reading long stretches of print. Couple on, Cardinals!
