Another Active Weekend in (and out) in The Ville -- Friday Cardinal Couple

11 EVENTS OVER THE NEXT THREE DAYS

Christopher Guest...the actor who played rocker Nigel Tufnel in the mockumentary 1984 movie This Is Spinal tap would approve. He geared his amplifiers to "11" to get that extra boost and there are 11 activities involving UofL sports and beyond for Cards and non-Cards fans alike taking place on campus, down south, up north, downtown and all-around this weekend.

in all fairness, we could make it an even 12 pack...if you include Louisville fall softball that will have a double-header Saturday at Ulmer. Hey, why not go to 13...with Louisville Lacrosse hosting a four team tournament at the L.L.S.

Fill up the gas tank, get a change of clothes or two, load the cooler and toss weird Uncle Nick and Bill the Goat in the back of the pickup. Here we go!

FRIDAY

Let's start our journey out at the Twin Spires, shall we? It's the second-to-last day of the September meet out at Churchill Downs. 10 challenging races are lined up for fans...beginning at 12:45.

If you see a predominance of green at the track today....don't worry...you haven't missed St. Patricks Day. A lot of Trinity and St. X fans like to do their tailgating for "The World's Biggest High Sshool Football Game" at the most legendary racetrack in the world. Final race is around 5:30...which gives you plenty of time to head east on Central Avenue and hit Papa John's Cardinal Stadium for the 7 p.m. kickoff. Trinity is 6-0 on the season and St Xavier 4-1. There will be 35,000 (or more) out in the Pizza Oven tonight for the annual clash. For some folks, it rates right up there with Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter and Fourth of July. Paulie sees Trinity taking a 28-7 win. It may be the only winner I pick all day.

Need a mid-afternoon break from the ponies or tailgating. Bring you laptop or tablet...#7 Louisville Field Hockey faces #4 Syracuse at 3:30 p.m. up north in Orangeland. Cards Field Hockey is 9-1 on the season and don't be too surprised if they are 10-1 around 5 p.m. this afternoon. Here's the link to watch on the ACC Network Extra.

Finally...Louisville Volleyball heads downtown to the KFC YUM! Center to spike and volley with ACC foe Wake Forest The Cards (5-7) have been a bit on a down-slide lately and would welcome your support. If you can't go...here's a link to watch on-line:

Four down...seven (or eight) to go. Let's move to Saturday.

SATURDAY

We'll kick it off (well, not really kick it, exactly) at Ulmer Stadium where Cards softball plays two...starting with Bellarmine at 10 a.m. and Walters State at noon. Next up...Louisville Cross Country's Greater Louisville Classic meet at E.P. Tom Sawyer Park in eastern Jefferson County. It's listed as an all-day event. You might want to follow Cross Country on Twitter....for more specifics. Louisville's Dorcas Wasike was the ACC Freshman Performer last week for her second place finish in the 25-team Commodore Classic at Vandy.

Worldwide and Paulie will be on the banks of the Ohio River Saturday morning...fishing for catfish. OK, not really...we'll be doing THE CARDINAL COUPLE RADIO HOUR live at Louisville Rowing's Red and Black Regatta. The event begins at 10 a.m. and we'll be on the air starting at 11 a.m. on WCHQ 100.9 FM. Listen to us on the WCHQ app or online at www.crescenthillradio.com. We've got coach Derek Copeland and athletes Gabi Biedenharn and Elizabeth Patrick lined up to chat with us...in addition to our weekly wrap-up and preview of all things UofL women's sports.

Churchill Downs has the final day of the September meet beginning at 12:45 p.m. and the oval has been a popular place for some to tailgate before Cardinal Football. They'll have plenty of time to do that Saturday...Bobby Petrino's Cards face Clemson in South Carolina around 8:30 (and if you're reading this down there...I am slightly jealous) #3 vs #5. Should be a good one!!

Why not start your Saturday evening at Lynn Stadium to watch Louisville women's soccer play Notre Dame at 7 p.m. The kickin' Cards are 7-2-2 on the season and ranked in the top 20 in the polls. Lynn and the Cards are hosting a pre-game Octoberfest party prior to the match with discounted beverages and food specials.

You'll have your choice of either Volleyball or Field Hockey at 1 p.m Sunday. Anne Kordes' wide-netters host Duke at the KFC YUM! Center. field Hockey is back in town hosting Iowa.

As far as Saturday night goes...We don't know if they'll be showing the football game on the big screen at Lynn or not...but soccer should be pretty close to ending as football prepares to kickoff...so why not do both!

SUNDAY

Sunday...the "Stick Girls" return home to take on nationally ranked Iowa .tVVVvOwo t Vo head to Sunday.
This one will probably have Worldwide downtown and me at on-campus Trager Stadium. A shame they couldn't have spaced these out a bit...so that fans could do both...but whichever one you choose should be fun. Both should also be available on the ACC Network Extra platform.

There you have it. Plenty to keep you occupied over the next 72 hours. Here's hoping the Cards go 6-0, your favorite high school wins for you at PJCS, all your selections at Churchill do well and you have fun at the regatta and out at the park!

Looks like you are going to be a busy Cardinal Couple crew! I'll be at Louder Than Life most of the weekend. The Deb Factor.

RIGHT SIDE OF THE SITE

Welcome to the right side of the site! Table for two? Or would you like a seat at the bar? Over here, you'll find schedules, results, pictures, characters, notices, links and other ennui and general nonsense we offer and come across. You can hear past podcasts here, follow our Cardinal Couple Radio twitter account or find out more about us ! Of course, they've never heard of us at UofL. but we go on anyway. That's all pretty good and quite a bargain for the price (free). Please don't double park or take up two spaces while you're here and tip your server !

Who we are and what we do

We are an independent website that covers the joy and excitement of UofL women's sports. We're not about birds here, or trysts with other like-minded couples or major league baseball. We write about women's sports at the University of Louisville. We are non-profit, we run no ads and don't ask you for fees and our writers volunteer their services. We have no premium boards or fee-based reads. We are "daily". Any questions, comments or observations can be left in the comments section at the bottom of any article or sent directly to Paulie at: cardinalcouple@twc.com .. Thank you for reading. As we like to say..."You ARE Cardinal Couple! We never forget that and we appreciate you" !!

Jeff "Worldwide" McAdams writes our Sunday columns and is well-known for his snark on The Cardinal Couple Radio Hour Podcast and love of Volleyball. (He knows he's the brains of the operation...) He secretly wishes he was on a rocket to Mars. With good coffee.. Jeff's been with us the longest out of our current group of writers (beside founder Paulie) and all that proves is that he's slow to change and Paulie probably needs to clean house again and bring in a new group of chimps. He and Case are the guys behind the always malfunctioning podcast format (which we fully expect to create trouble each week). Jeff thinks he has a superior I.T. background than us and we allow him to think so -- we need him to explain "technology" to Paulie. You like Volleyball? He knows Volleyball. More than your average bear. .

Case Hoskins writes here Saturdays and is on our podcasts when he isn't busy getting muddy, moving to a new house, field dressing deer. or saying "Yes, dear" to lovely Lindsay his wife.. He's also co-conspirator on the Cardinal Couple Radio Hour Podcast with Jeff -- when he has an Internet connection. consider him our soccer expert here at CARDINAL COUPLE....we just have to keep him away from WSOC head coach KFD. During the day he helps blueprint and design better mouse-traps or fancy-schmancy buildings and stuff. Another one of them engineer types. Known for his love of the Seattle Seahawks and dislike of games that end in ties...he adds a voice of reason, intelligence and rationality to THE CARDINAL COUPLE RADIO HOUR PODCASTS. ( Or so he thinks...) Truth told, he's probably a candidate for smartest one of this bunch of hoodlums, outlaws and ne'er do wells...but don't tell him that. Often mistaken for NFL quarterback Andrew Luck...we're 99% sure that ISN'T Bobby Petrino sitting to his left. . Free to a good home that will give him a bath, something to argue about and some Rice-a-Roni.

Jared Anderson is one of our favorite writers and does podcasts with us as well. When he's not busy snapping photos of student-athletes he's taking selfies of himself somewhere. We look forward to his expertise on several sports on these pages and hope he accepts the challenge of taking on the Field Hockey water cannons. He also serves as CARDINAL COUPLE'S official photographer...an extension of his business JDA Photography. He also takes photos for other sites. He spends his working hours impersonating Freddy Farm Bureau around town and making sure folks are insured. Be careful, he might follow you home...but give him a hot meal, warm blanket, internet access, and a corner to sleep in if he does...and he'll be fine and unobtrusive, unless you give him picture-taking capabilities.. It's said that "you're no one unless Jared has taken your picture". He's owned by Katy- she's got the rock to prove it- and that's probably a good thing, because the lad needs a keeper.

PEOPLE OF THESE PAGES

Our newest writer, Daryl Foust, is all about Cardinals Athletics. A essential part of the old Cardinal Couple Radio Hour on the ill-fated WCHQ FM, she also had her own radio show (Kentucky Women Talk Sports) and has written for a couple of other Cardinal Sports sites. The standing joke is that she'll show up for the CCRH podcast again someday. A UofL employee, she' stays busy being Aunt Daryl and Lulu's owner. Her WBB and Softball knowledge is top notch . And, if there's a live music festival going on locally, you can expect to see her in attendance. We're honored to have her on board, we invite you to spend Fridays With Daryl at the website -- just don't ask her to predict scores, fill out brackets or be overjoyed at taking the Cardinal Couple Radio Hour Podcast Worldwide Quiz during the summer months...she's rumored to be a golfer as well, so "fore" in advance if she's in your neck of the woods.

CO-FOUNDER AND CO-OWNER

The other co-owner and voice of reason....the lovely Sonja...who returns to us on a permanent basis after what can be called an "interesting" time at Rivals. In her words..."you work, slave, research and study for hours and build a site... a women's board. You spend hours on a three column article and several of the readers decide to take aim at you when all you're trying to do is enlighten. I've never seen so many mis-spellings of Louisville WBB players names anywhere...which made me think I was dealing with third graders over there... I have decided to stay off that street and source from here on out and I'm so glad to be back with those who love and appreciate me... not with haters and self-anointed experts " An avid fan of native gardening, hiking and the Smoky Mountains....she loves German potato pancakes and Led Zeppelin....and reminds you to plant native species. I've only seen her mad once (when she was ready to punch out another woman writer who was spreading lies about her) and I've got a feeling that might be a typhoon you want to steer clear of. One of the original writers on the site (with Paulie and David Watson), she has returned. Not as a columnist, but as a proof-reader, confidant and one to bounce thoughts and ideas off of. She's tired of guys with very limited women's basketball knowledge but huge egos calling her out when they are usually chauvinistic, and can be compared to the dog outside barking at something he can't see...We welcome her back and know she'll enjoy the calm waters here. You've got nothing you need to prove or defend with us....you are among those who love you.

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 copyright. 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). Paulie 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... Jared Anderson is our main photographer and we have loved his work (even his selfies) for many years. 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." Sometimes, 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...
