So anyways a little funny story, I initiated conversation at the gym today with someone wearing a St. Bonaventure shirt saying "we play you guys tomorrow" and conversation continued and turns out he runs a St. Bonaventure site called...

Who would have thought in a little beach town in NJ people who run sites covering the Johnnies and Bonnies would work out at the same gym?!?!? What a small world.
Also the guys over at http://bonabandwagon.proboards.com have taken notice to our thread here. I'm not sure what they think about our matchup.
I was browsing around on one of those boards and I saw a post where they guy said that Digger Phelps mentioned that SJU is his sleeper team for the tourney.
Did anyone else hear that? Supposedly he made the comment during the UCLA game.
Yea, I was watching when he said this. He claimed St. John's as his "Wild Card" team in the Big East.
Mentioned returning all starters, the maturation of DJ and Paris, getting Mason back for a 5th year, and that Norm will have this team playing hard every night. He thinks the Big East can realistically get 8 or 9 teams in the tourney and predicts we will be one of them.
Note while he was saying this, Hubert Davis and Jay Bilas were just staring at him in disbelief. Once he finished, Hubert and Jay just started laughing and kept saying "ST JOHNS?!". I appreciate Digger showing us and the BE some love, but clearly the ACC guys werent having it.
