Given the choice, and I know this may ruffle some feathers, Columbia > Manhattan, except for football. Snyder is a legend. He is the epitome of more with less.

That was such a good team - the Tyus Edney coast-to-coast still haunts Missouri fans to this day. Cam Dollar, Toby Bailey and the O’Bannon Bros were also incredibly exciting college players. LoRo assistant coach on that 95 team as well.

IU must lean heavily on people with ties to the Knicks organization. Isaiah Thomas, Woodson, etc.

And that team lost to Loyola with a trip to the Final Four on the line.

How will Nantz handle the ‘Cougs if they make it to the Final Four? I’ve always considered him to be fairly impartial, but that’s his alma mater. Phi Slamma Jamma 2.0

A true ratings bonanza.

Walton took all the blue pills back to Bob Weir’s house.

A UCLA-USC national semi would give all of LA a semi.

It would be pretty interesting to see the Drew Bros Rivalry in the BigXII as three Old SWC teams look to advance to the Elite 8.

What’s Lawrence Frank doing these days?

Tom Herman went 4-0 in Bowl games and that includes a Sugar Bowl win and was forced out. Chris del Conte doesn’t play.

The only thing I’d worry about is an injury that could cost them money in any sort of professional scenario. There’s a flip side to the coming back coin. And being SLU fans, you expect the snakebite rather than the pot of gold. Almost like we’re pre-conditioned to expect the worst.

I’ll “drink” to that. Great post.

Another interesting transfer out of the Land of Enchanment is 6’7” walk-on forward Logan Padgett, son of Scott, who played for his pops for a year at Samford and then packed up for Albuquerque. Since the Lobos hired Richard Pitino, there’s been an exodus out of the Pit. With Ford and Padgett the elder both sons of BBN, I’m wondering if there might be a call made. Could be a body if FO or JB run into foul trouble.

Blue font me here, but I think he said he wanted to go see Boyz II Men if anyone was interested. But you’re right, Mizzou is already on bended knee with all of the racial allegations and protests on campus. Could very well be the end of the road if that happened. I couldn’t help it, CB.

I’m sure being one of Valvano’s sons can only help when he can give recruits “tours of the university.” Regardless that recruits now couldn’t pick Terry Gannon from Rich Gannon, having that nostalgic feel of a championship winner certainly doesn’t hurt. That’s like AB or LH working for Universitas.

Lando: think about Porter in this way... Loyola is a Gonzaga surrounded by a metropolitan area with 8.5 million more people than greater Spokane. Given time, a renaissance in resources and revenue, Loyola could be a juggernaut. That is Mid Major Madness.

It’s amazing to think that the Texas -OU game was non-conference for the first 90 years of the Red River Rivalry. Then the SWC folded and the 8 became 12. College football fans should put that game on the bucket list. Lots of scenery at Fair Park in Dallas during the weekend, Jimbo.

Also some of the most legendary coaching in the history of college football, which pains me to say as a native son of Texas. Better than Royal v Stallings in the old SWC, better than Ara v McKay, etc. Doesn’t get much better than Wilkinson & Switzer in Norman going up against the statesman Osborne.

If I can buy a Tesla on the coin, surely I can bring in a hoss PF. Going plaid.

Nebraska and OU won every Big8 conference crown from 1963-1988. Then a Mizzou alum named Bill McCartney arrived in Boulder and received an honorary fifth down at homecoming. So nice of the folks in Columbia!

Love the Street & Smith reference. It’s been a while! That and an old Beckett’s baseball card price magazine were staples of my DeMatt lounge collection!

I’m wondering what the Roy’s of the world would think comparing/contrasting Porter and Stallings. I know there’s some Belleville loyalty to KS.

Tell that to the people here that lived through Ekker and Grawer.

Porter is only 52. I can’t think of a coach who was kept in his current capacity through years of mediocrity only to find lightning in a bottle late. Either he came in hot and cooled down over time like a Rollie Massimino or got hot mid-career with bookended cooling periods like a Jimmy Boehiem. Some of these guys are like tenured profs with a clipboard. See Carneseca, Lou for more.
