Cardinal Couple Radio Hour

The crew gets out their crystal ball this week to look ahead at the NCAA Tournament. Since the tourney will begin before the next show, the gang has to use the latest bracketology to make their predictions. They look at potential upsets and what a path to a championship could look like. The show runs a little long as they throw in brief conversations about softball and lacrosse. Check out daily co...

It's a group of four on today's show as the Louisville Lacrosse game overlaps the recording of the show. The gang dives deep into women's basketball as they talk about the two wins over the past week and locking up the ACC 2 seed. With WBB eating up the majority of the show, they give what little time they have left to the lacrosse and softball games upcoming. Check out daily columns celebrating t...

Louisville women's basketball went to Chapel Hill and suffered a stunning loss to the Tarheels. The crew covers the loss and looks at the wins for Lacrosse and softball more recently. All that and more this week. (We apologize for the misspeaking of "Alexis" rather than Alexia Mobley.) Check out daily columns celebrating the joy and excitement of Louisville women's athletics at the Cardinal Couple...

As we return to the podcast feeds, please accept my apologies for the missed episodes. We'll be more consistent going forward! This week saw a Louisville WBB game canceled due to travel issues, and the crew had quite a bit of fun with that. The Cards did beat Syracuse earlier in the week and they've got Notre Dame on deck. Louisville softball and lacrosse also got their seasons started this week w...

The holiday hiatus lasted a week longer than expected for the podcast, as internet and power issues kept Case from compiling last week's show. Just like the show, the women's basketball team had an unexpected extension to their break due to Covid protocols. And, just like the show, the women's basketball team got back on track with a victory over Syracuse. The crew, which is 5 strong for the first...

It's the last episode of the show before the holiday break as the show will take off for Christmas and New Year's Day.  Today's show finally covers what no one wanted to have to as the Louisville volleyball team's undefeated season came to an end. The Cards fell to Wisconsin in the national semifinals in a fantastic match. Jeff and Jared recount their experiences from inside the arena before...

The show starts on a somber note as the crew reflects on the storms that plagued Kentucky overnight. Louisville volleyball advanced to Freedom Hall after a win over Ball State and welcomed the Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight rounds. Despite an unfortunate midday start time, the Cards took care of Florida and will take on Georgia Tech for the third time this season. Louisville basketball also has a b...

It's a three man crew again this week, this time a throwback to the days when the show was broadcast on the radio from a basement studio. Louisville volleyball took to the court as the number one overall seed in the NCAA tournament and sidestepped some drama to sweep UIC. After looking at that match in-depth and previewing Saturday's second round match against Ball State, the gang chatted about th...

Louisville Volleyball completed their undefeated regular season and now awaits their fate at the hands of the NCAA Selection Committee. The Cards are looking to host four rounds in the NCAA tournament before traveling just up the road to Columbus for the Final Four. The guys recap the wins over Pitt and Notre Dame before looking ahead to tournament possibilities. They also look back on the basketb...

The crew is back after last week's scheduling conflicts and the Cards gave them plenty to talk about this week. The guys open with the most recent event: Volleyball's victory over Duke on Friday night. The win secured at least a share of the ACC title and the Cards will take on Pittsburgh on Wednesday with an opportunity to claim the title outright. Basketball followed up their opening loss with a...

It's a full show this week as the crew breaks down some weekly results. Up in New York, field hockey fell in the ACC semifinals and will await their seeding in the NCAA Selection Show. Down in North Carolina, volleyball continued their winning ways with a pair of wins. Finally, back at home in the KFC Yum! Center, the women's basketball team opened their exhibition season with a romp over Tennesse...

We're back to a more normal show after a few weeks of oddities. Louisville had two massive wins during the week as volleyball opened the week with a top-five victory over Pitt to secure their league lead and field hockey ended the week by completing their undefeated ACC season to clinch the first round bye in the ACC tournament. After recapping the field hockey match, the guys touch on the season...

We fight a few technical difficulties in this one so if anything sounds a bit odd for a moment, just roll with it. The Louisville women's soccer team is closing their season with a whimper, as they fell 4-1 in the midweek game to Virginia. The Cards' hopes for postseason play are almost assuredly dashed and the guys look at what they may have going forward after 2021. Things are going much better...

We're back after a couple of weeks away from the podcast. If you want to listen to the episodes the podcast missed, check out the Cardinal Couple YouTube page. Things should be back to normal going forward, though.  This week, Case returns along with Paulie, Jeff, and Jared to discuss an exciting week for Louisville women's fall sports. Volleyball and Field Hockey continued to pick up big win...

The successful seasons for Louisville's fall sports continue as the teams amassed another strong week. The crew (Jeff, Paulie, and Case this week with a brief appearance from Jared), covers the victories for field hockey, volleyball, and women's soccer and looks ahead at some big matchups for the teams.  Check out daily columns celebrating the joy and excitement of Louisville women's athletic...

Daryl is finally back, but the crew remains at just four as Case is out this week. Some recording hiccups lead to a touch of balancing issues, but things should be back to normal next week. The gang talks about volleyball's win over rival Kentucky and previews the next big match against perennial powerhouse Nebraska. They also cover the conference openers for soccer and field hockey. All that and...

The fall sports are no longer undefeated after Louisville soccer dropped their match early in the week against Western, but it was successful results only in every other match after that. Soccer earned a surprise draw against a top-25 team while volleyball swept a top-10 opponent and field hockey held on for a 1-0 win in Coach Justine Sowry's 200th career victory. The crew covers all of those and...

The fall sports seasons are rolling on. All three UofL fall team sports remain undefeated as women's soccer, field hockey, and volleyball all picked up wins over the last 48 hours. The gang looks back at the week that was, talking the teams' wins and previewing their upcoming matches. Before wrapping up with final thoughts, they also look at Hailey Van Lith with the USA 3X3 team in the Women's Ser...

Sorry about the missing episode last week. We're back on track going forward. All three major fall sports have started their seasons and all three played on Friday night. The teams were undefeated in exhibition and regular season contests this week, so there's plenty for Paulie, Jeff, Jared, and Case to talk about. They open with a chat about Friday's volleyball double header in Arizona before mov...

It's a smaller crew today as Jared and Daryl are out but Paulie, Jeff, and Case endeavor to carry on with the show in a throwback to an older version of the show. There was a lot of news this week and the guys work hard to cover it all. UofL hosted fall sports media day earlier in the week and followed it up with a release of the full women's basketball non-conference schedule. Payton Verhulst has...

It's a full house this week as Daryl returns from her time away. The show opens with a discussion about Meghan Schneider and the UofL field hockey program. The crew moves into the news about Payton Verhulst being named National Female Athlete of the Year in high school by USA Today. Of course, they'll never pass up an opportunity to talk about women's basketball, so they discuss the roster once mo...

It's another nearly full house this week as the crew misses Daryl once more. There have been announcements over the last week, including the addition of a women's basketball game. The guys take the opportunity to look at that game and the how the women's basketball team may stack up. There have also been some accolades and coaching announcements that take up a portion of the show before more Olymp...

It's been such a busy week over the summer that we don't even have a quiz this week. The show opens with some discussions about the Cardinal Couple team's past week then moves into the news from UofL. There have been plenty of announcements of individual awards and rosters for national teams, which the crew use as segues into a deeper look at the UofL WBB roster. After some UofL discussion, the gu...

It's a full house this week after the holiday weekend and it's a busy show. Women's soccer will be the first team to take the field in UofL's 2021-22 athletic year, so this week's show is a deep dive into the newly released schedule. The crew talks about the loss of Emina Ekic, how the team will approach this season, and the hiring of a new assistant coach. After a brief chat about women's basketb...

Happy Independence Day! With the summer slump in full swing, the show gets a bit off the rails, as can happen even with the most exciting topics on deck. Case is out again this week, but the remaining four of the crew talk about everything from Louisville traffic to a Cardinal basketballer making her way to the Olympics. The show wraps up with a quiz; this week's topic is Coaches. Check out daily...
