A Look into the Weekend -- FRIDAY CARDINAL COUPLE

A Look at the Weekend

With Thanksgiving over we are back to the fun of UofL sports. Although there were no games for the holiday several teams had practice and other events going on, especially with such a big weekend coming up for some of the major sports.

We do hope your Thanksgiving was a good one, by the way and, if you're getting out early this morning to participate in Black Friday -- best of luck in finding those deals that are driving you out into the jungle of humanity in competition with you! When in doubt, buy Cardinal gear for people!

Friday, Nov. 23

Volleyball closes out their regular season when they host Georgia Tech at 5:00 p.m. The game is
Senior Day for Molly Sauer, Jasmine Bennett, Wilma Rivera, and Amanda Green. Sauer and Bennett have spent their entire careers in the Red and Black while Rivera and Green transferred in. The Cards swept the Yellow Jackets on the road earlier this year. Louisville needs a win to stay in the running for an NCAA Tournament bid.

Women's Basketball will tip off against Arizona State at 5:30 p.m. EST, although the game will be held in Las Vegas. The Cards have had short break since their win at Boise State, but will now play three games in four days.

On Arizona State, they are 2-1 on the season but they've faced a grueling schedule. They fell to Baylor 59-65, beat Arkansas 88-85 and opened their season against Incarnate Word at home with a 81-43 win.

The Cards are 0-2 lifetime against the ASU squad.

Arizona State has never faced the Cards with Jeff Walz as the head coach, though...getting their last win against UofL in the NCAA Tournament in the final game Tom Collen coached at the "Ville". Leading the charge for the Devils of the Sun is Kianna Ibis. She's a 6'1" forward and wears #42. To watch today's game, go to the link below:

LOUISVILLE VS ARIZONA STATE

Men's Basketball will take on Marquette in New York at 7:00. Chris Mack's squad started 3-0 before falling to #5 Tennessee on Wednesday. The former Big East foes will square off in the NIT Season Tip-Off consolation game.

Saturday, Nov. 24

Women's Basketball will play their second game in under 24 hours when they face Hartford at 3:00 p.m. EST. What will be interesting to see is how Coach Walz uses his players and how much playing time each one gets with the quick turnaround and then having another game Monday. With Jaz Jones out indefinitely this makes the task a bit tougher.

Football will finish their season in the evening against Kentucky with kickoff set for 7:00. The 100th season of Louisville Football has been one of their worst in history. At this point the Cards are hoping to finish on a high note by defeating their rival from down I-64.

It's going to be cold for this contest and a chance of rain, so dress accordingly. if you're going to put yourself through these three hours of torture.

Sunday, Nov. 25

There is nothing on the schedule. That is probably a good thing as Louisville enters its final full week of classes. The final day of classes is Monday, Dec. 3. Finals will begin Wednesday, Dec. 5. As much as we all love cheering on the Cards in their respective sports we have to remind ourselves that they are students first and academics is something Louisville athletics prides itself on. A day off is never truly a day off in the life of a student-athlete.

Also, looking ahead to Monday: women's basketball has their home opener against Miami (OH). Tickets and ticket packages are inexpensive and you get to watch one of the best programs in the country. I would highly suggest you make your way downtown to see them play.

(Editor's Note)

Just in case you just plumb forgot about it or circumstances prevented the listening yesterday of Arlo Guthrie's class 18 minute opus about "Alice's Restaurant", I've linked it up below. I agree with Worldwide, it's mandatory for Thanksgiving for the Thanksgiving weekend.

ALICE'S RESTAURANT

Key to Cards WBB today is avoiding the first quarter "Where are we and why are we here?" syndrome.

Key to Cards Football tomorrow is to send the UK Football team directions to the old Cardinal Stadium.

Plan to donate but let me bitch first. Empty Sunday? It sure was particularly since no one seemed to pickup that the lasses played basketball at 3 PM Saturday and won their fifth game on the road. Shame,shame, shame!!!!

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.

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 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). 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...
