  1. You want the program to do well, yet change has to be made of the Coach. Do you root to have SLU make the dance?? Great SLU won today but its only delaying the inevitable… FWIW my vote is get to the dance and thank Ford on his way out. BTW - Be careful when the “Consultants” come in.
  2. As Paul Harvey would say… Noe for the rest of the story… Our horrible at picking coaches AD is still in charge… Detroit decided to “mutually” part ways with Davis today. https://detroittitans.com/news/2024/3/7/mens-basketball-university-of-detroit-mercy-and-mens-head-basketball-coach-mike-davis-mutually-agree-to-part-ways.aspx Will be watching how SLU proceeds.
  3. I live out of MI so unfortunately not able to join him - lol Ohio State getting in front of the new coach hiring curve today. Smart IMO to get out in front to learn who is available. Word of advice DO NOT hire the father-son OR player with Dad who becomes part of the staff. Most times does not work… Creighton a rare exception.
  4. A fan of Jesuit basketball since my days at Dear ‘ol UofD. One of my NCAA pools always has an all Jesuit Final 4 if possible. Enjoy when the Jesuit teams beat an ACC, Big 10/20 or other self proclaimed power school. Not whining just looking for perspective. Good luck on your coaching search!
  5. TY for the feedback:)! College football with the SEC - Big 10 / almost 20 meetings are going to send a strong message to the NCAA soon. How the Jesuit schools that can and are making noise in the NCAA will be quite interesting how they respond and move forward… What if the Jesuit schools combined forces? Would it work? Would it go broke? Interesting times in college athletics. https://ajcunet.edu/about/colleges-universities/
  6. You think you guys have problems. Take a look at the Detroit Titans. Our AD has been a mess for 10 years. The department itself a hot mess for 10+ years. New University Prez wants basketball to succeed; however, is shy about firing anyone. Talk of allowing our coach to last another year. On pace for an Ofer - 2023-2024 season!! Stopped posting on the Detroit board. The slappies did not like the reality checks. At least your community has healthy discussions! With the whole new college sports landscape, maybe the Jesuit community would pull together! Detroit would only receive half help as the Sisters have taken control of our University… https://udtitanbasketball.freeforums.net/board/2/talk-detroit-titans Good luck on your coach search, and improvements to the baseball program. At least you have one. We dumped baseball after almost 100 seasons!
  7. Happy Thanksgiving! We have a lot to be thankful for, and Most of our fan base always root for the Jesuit programs. My State funded friends always laugh at my all Jesuit Final 4! We were close last year to having a National Champ with Gonzaga. SLU will recover from the loss last night and will have a good season. Doubt there will be many more games with basically 7 players. Our fans are... well fanatics and always think Detroit will make the NCAA tourney. Please chime in on the Detroit Board. https://www.detroittitanhoops.com/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=2 Enjoy Turkey Day and feel free to root for our Detroit Lions. They are going to the Super Bowl after all!
  8. Fellow Jesuit friends. 1st your arena looks awesome! We luv Calihan Hall, but a make over to a SLU type arena is long over due! I WISH the Detroit program left the MCC when others did like SLU! Pretty sure we are the last remaining MCC team after Loyola left! A10 for Detroit would be a good fit with other similar type schools. Detroit had a chance to go to the Big East in '80 but blew that chance. Long story for another day! Dickie V could of helped after we gave him a platform getting on the map. To the present.... When March rolls around this will be viewed as a Bad L. The Detroit program is in a complete shambles! 2 years ago the AD was hooking up with the Asst Coach while our HC ignored what was going on. We hired a terrible new AD with no Detroit or Metro Detroit connections. Fast forward to now a suspended HC. Will come out eventually, but the jist is the HC yelled not so nice things that were caught on camera - Internet age... Team plays playground summer youth AAU basketball, which in the long run does not work in D1. They chuck balls up and its literally Daddy Ball! Evidence 2 players with most of the shots... Anyway - Ford has brought in and is bringing in very good players. SLU has a system and facilities to grow! Look to the west towards Creighton and further west to Gonzaga the present day Jesuit desired program! To be safe, WIN the A10 tourney to get into the dance! This L will provide Ford teaching moments! Appreciate you pulling for the Titans this year, otherwise they will be pulling your RPI down. Will point my friends to SLU as a barometer... Oh and feel free to whip on another league rival who was smart enough to leave - Butler! As we say in the D - Buck Futler!!
  9. Selection Sunday is certainly a Holy Day of obligation in the college basetball world You guys come in at lucky 13... http://detroittitanhoops.com/
  10. The only Poll that matters http://detroittitanhoops.com/
  11. Apologies to those Hawks fans... Will get it fixed... When we see the Pope will let him know Often we disagree with him as well on the rankings as well. Come over to the board and express your opinion.
  12. The only Poll that really matters http://detroittitanhoops.com/ The Titans cannot win on the road and are having some health issues... See you guys are not doing much better... Good news is there is still time to turn the season into something positive
  13. First it was great that the two Jebbie teams played each other again! We understand SLU will be coming to Calihan next year, which is great!! In the past our group has talked about a X-Mas tourney comprised of several Jesuit based schools would be great. Why not @ SLU's new arena next year?? Bring in Gonzaga, Detroit, Georgetown and of course SLU for starters... Maybe they could do that 3 games that only count as one as the format... A lot better quality teams and possible exposure for the Jesuit schools... Regarding the game... The Titans pre-season Mid Major All American - Brandon Cotton appears to be off the team... Out of High School he was a McDonald's All American... He started at MI State, then left after the 1st semester... On the pre-game our coach said they would be making a decision soon... Detroit has NO inside presence and IF they have cold scoring stretches it could be a long year for the Titans. A few of my friends that were there said the crowd was around 7,000...
  14. Watched the game tonight, and I thought SLU had its chances... Tough playing 3 games in a row no matter who you are... Did notice SLU had trouble scoring, but does have some athletes on the court... IF they hit their 3's lookout.. Could really blow some people out!! Expect SLU to be rested by this Wends., and we are not expecting Detroit to do much... Any chance the game will be on TV The Titans best player - Brandon Cotton was reinstated for the Kent State game and he no showed... Despite no superstar Detroit beat a decent Kent State team at the buzzer - 61-60 Go to www.detroittitanhoops.com to check out our fan message board...
  15. We understand that the SLU will be coming to Calihan next year Maybe RM can be the leader to push for an All Jesuit league Will the SLU /Detroit game be on a FOX station, internet or other TV broadcast ??
