Helps when a chunk of the board at that school also played baseball there….

Thank God someone got the reference that might be the funniest line in the whole gotdamn movie, Bandit.

Excited to see what the Knight’s Inn in Decatur looks like, though.

Driving in that Oldsmobuick, probably one of Chevy’s finest hours was “Fletch.” Probably peak quotable Chevy, too.

Maybe he can sublease Fletch’s old place while he’s on sabbatical down in Rio.

If Walton had camped up in Tora Bora and fought for the Mujahideen.

You’re thinking of Hingle McCringleberry out of Penn State.

Pesty and the new guy will be at a fundraiser in Dallas tomorrow; pending how many cocktails I can put down during happy hour, I may (pun intended) ask about our beloved athletic director and his future.

Knowing how well we play in Dayton (blue font), I’d prefer to just make it as a 5 or 4 seed. We can do it.

Phenomenal post. Conklin had an off-the-charts Basketball IQ coming in. Clay to be molded by the potter, Majerus. He could shape the physical skills, the things molded by what you do when no one is watching. He’s probably the best example of that in a SLU basketball player in the last 25 years. Doing more with less as far as God-given talent is concerned. The most blue collar rather than the most blue chip.

The Scott Frost Memorial Trophy.

Agree - but to listen to Raftery defend Flagg was akin to Verne Lundquist blaming the Zamboni driver for Scott Hamilton not winning the gold in Lake Placid in 80.

Listening to Raftery defend Flagg on the obvious over-the-back was pure idolatry worship from CBS. Man to man, indeed. Raftery makes Billy Packer sound sane.

It’s like who to pick in the Iran-Iraq War during the 80s.

Liking the portal - I remember getting some kids in the last administrations and thinking “we got four years of that?” Now, there’s annual turnover. It’s like your local driving range picker. Thank you for your analysis, Wiz! Only 266 days till Christmas!

Great Kezar Stadium reference for all you Dirty Harry fans out there, you know that place well!

LBJ carried California in 64.

As far as the wealth of the donor base is concerned, the Villanova job might not even be the best in the Big 5, let alone the country. I mean if we want to pool the collective net worth of the potential people who hypothetically could make contributions to a program, it’s the school smack dab in the city center that Fran McCaffery was hired at. But I’m just playing SimCity with NIL money.

Is Maryland a big successful school? It’s big, sure. But successful? I’m not sure they’ve been successful since the days of Dixon and Blake.

I’m assuming Gibson is Old Grand-Dad then?

I think they got into some contractual he-said/she-saids with Mark Davis of the Oakland Raiders of Las Vegas about leasing the new stadium and he really plowed UNLV athletics legal counsel. Not literally, but there are some big time issues in Vegas with the Davis family and the Boyd casino family people who had/have the naming rights to their old (UNLV) football stadium.

This must have set the Pastner family trust back.

They’ve been saying that about Minnesota since McHale graduated.
