  1. When I was a Phi Kap pledge my freshman year, one fun tidbit of information I had to learn about the senior class was one of them was the 4th all time leading rusher at Vianney. Aside from the guys who played for Tony Severino at Rockhurst, the Vianney football alums really held on to the glory days more than anyone I encountered at SLU.
  2. My in-laws are just up 95 in Mamaroneck, NY. Home of Winged Foot. Wife has an appointment in the city Friday morning, so we’ll run down there and stop off at Fordham on the way back. Damn the Ram!
  3. Will be reporting from Rose Hill on Friday. Looking forward to supporting the boys on the road.
  4. We gotta Pony Up to get a seat at the table. I’ll see you at Campisi’s on Mockingbird before Dr. Fred comes to town on the 17th. That’s where folks get that bag.
  5. Roy Hobbs Jr, a redshirt sophomore out of Lenexa, KS, took the blame for those lights exploding, naturally.
  6. I think Knight was referring to the city of Evansville when he said that.
  7. ISU Board is a digital Chernobyl
  8. Starky one of the best to ever don a Jesuit cossack at SLU. At the prayers of the faithful, I remember him so eloquently asking the student body to “pray for someone you love…” then to “pray for someone you find hard to love.” That has always stuck with me. It’s so easy to forget how to forgive. Rest in Peace, Father Stark.
  9. His “blessed” video. Without that, we aren’t where we are today as a program.
  10. Ah . I forgot (on purpose) about that. Tragedy, nonetheless.
  11. Amen! The sight of one of the greatest tragedies in Men’s hoops becomes the greatest sight for the Lady Bills! It’s our Gallipoli, that’s for sure.
  12. It’s how late he’s eating imos from Friday night
  13. Well-said. Akin to the manager of a cab company in the Age of Uber. Couldn’t keep up with the disruption in the game.
  14. Brad Soderberg. Promoted within, unfortunately. So much for that Doug Woolard “national search” we were promised.
  15. That’s fine. I can accept a practice injury. I cannot accept an injury against a D-II opponent when those games are for getting your bench and your non-scholies a chance to see the floor. Not your game-changing season-changing scoring machine. Ford’s mismanagement of Perkins should have been met with more ire.
  16. And against Rockhurst in an exhibition game. Like Kobe going out against the Washington Generals or Athletes in Action. Completely unnecessary. I don’t know why Ford wasn’t nailed to a tree by this board when that happened.
  17. From Jimmy Bell to Stringer Bell, this site covers them all.
  18. You are not alone. The psyche of this fan base is something even the greatest of Sigmund’s disciples could not grasp.
  19. There’s a lot of division one hoops in that state, though. IU, ND, Purdue, Butler, Valpo, Ball State, Evansville, ISU, the UIPUIs, USI. Hell, they probably seat more fans for a Brebeuf - Cathedral high school hoops game than they do in Terre Haute.
  20. Loyola, more than any other high mid-major Midwest Jesuit programs, of which there are just two - us and them, have been the Gonzaga of the Midwest more recently. They’ve tasted the waters of the Final Four font. I was there in Atlanta in 2018 to watch them do it. As a SLU alum, I was damn proud of Porter’s charges.
  21. What is Steve Lavin doing these days? He was all giggles when he and Majerus talked shop at ESPN.
  22. He’s our little own Avon Barksdale.
  23. I do not like Chris May, but this coach is a a Reggie Jackson 77 World Series home run hire for this program. Have to at least tip your cap to the guy for getting this one right.
  24. Happy Easter y’all. The stone which was rolled away has become the cornerstone. Believe in the resurrection!
