Freshman (2/7)

  1. The best coaches work the refs. Does it work? Who knows. But would love to see Crews at least try.
  2. fortunate to be tied…..make that down 2
  3. The perfect time to raise will be upon the announcement we are joining the Big East. And when that doesn't happen they should wait a few years for yet another letdown to pass.
  4. MIght be in SLU's interest if the A10 started looking to the Midwest. SLU will be quite the outpost when Pittsburgh is the closest conference foe. Could make for a nice road trip. Can stop in Dayton to catch a BE game on the way to Duquesne.
  5. SLU went from a maybe in a 10 team league to a lock in a 12 team league back to a maybe in a 12 team league. The trends are bad. I believe RIchmond is in and it is between SLU and Dayton. And Dayton can actually fill a building. This does not bode well. Anyone for a 16 team league?
  6. My bad - I should have referred to THE University of Phoenix rather than Phoenix University.
  7. The runaway costs of higher education can be attributed to many things. The increased leverage provided by our government, academics that bemoan the loss of any dept/chair/etc. in a host of arcane subjects, poor business models (egads - even the thoughts of thinking of education as a business are taboo), etc. I am not at all surprised that for-profit advanced education has gained an increased share. Many of the instructors at these "diploma mills" have day jobs at respected institutions. Phoenix University could be the model for the future - but lo and behold, a "regional accreditation review team" has trumped up some charges that this rising Phoenix has "insufficient autonomy" from its corporate parent (private equity Apollo Group) that may prevent the university from achieving its "mission and successful operation." I found this wildly ironic. Many think Biondi operates with too much autonomy. If only a corporate parent could rein him in AND FIND A FREAKIN WAY TO GET US IN THE BIG EAST!!!
  8. I could give a shat who the next coach is if they miss out on the BE. And folks let's remember this is Crews we are talking about. Not the second coming of RM.
  9. I just hope he can coach since we do not have one
  10. Crews was at Wash Ave establishment this morning with recruit. Any idea who this may have been?
  11. Can we stop talking all this crap about next year and focus on the new Big East or Catholic 7 or whatever. That is the most important thing right now. Not the HC or Manning's "potential" or recruits...........Get in the new league and all these things will take care of themselves (except for the Manning thing). If not, we'll shortly be looking for the next miracle worker (Majerus) to rescue the the program from oblivion.
