Friday Night Lights (Hold the Flashlight, It's July) - Where to Catch the Louisville Cardinals in Action (Assuming There Is Action)
It's Friday night, folks! You've polished off that questionable fridge-scavenger dinner (leftover pizza and yogurt parfait, anyone?), and you're jonesing for some good ol' college football. But wait... there's no scorching sun, no cicada orchestra, and absolutely no way it's already football season. Hold on to your cardinal feathers, because it's July, and the Louisville Cardinals are chilling more than a stadium cooler full of Gatorade.
Fear not, fellow fan! While you can't mainline Cardinal football quite yet, we can channel our inner detective and unearth when (and where) we can finally witness Malik Cunningham weave magic on the field.
So, How Do We Solve This Gridiron Mystery?
There are a few ways to snag the intel you crave:
Tip: Focus on one point at a time.
- Become a Super Fan Stalker (Not Recommended): We're all for dedication, but camping outside Coach Brohm's office with binoculars might raise some eyebrows (and restraining orders).
- Consult the Oracle at Papa John's Stadium (Probably Not Possible): While the stadium might have a certain mystical aura on game day, channeling the spirits for the schedule release is a long shot (and might involve questionable pizza toppings).
The Real MVP: The Louisville Cardinals Official Website
This, my friends, is where the truth lies. Head over to University of Louisville Athletics website [invalid URL removed] and bam! You'll find the official 2024 schedule. Bookmark it, screenshot it, write it on your bathroom mirror in ketchup - whatever it takes to ensure you don't miss a single second (well, maybe except for those brutal commercial breaks).

QuickTip: Treat each section as a mini-guide.
In the meantime, channel your inner analyst. Who are the breakout players? Will the defense be a brick wall or a leaky faucet? Fire up those message boards and unleash your brilliant (or maybe slightly crazy) predictions. Just remember, the internet remembers everything, so keep it classy (or at least mildly humorous).
