i enjoyed the fordham game because we were up against a team that played the game of their lives...we scored 81...and it was exciting until the bitter end.  the northwestern game was great because their three point shooters are lights out...so we could have blown it at the end.  a great win because we played so well.

uconn mailed it in last year.  many of us were afraid that a win would bring roberts back for at least one year to coach his seniors.  that took the starch out of that one.

lavin gives us hope.  that's why the games ...especially the wins...are so sweet.

Enjoyed the Fordham loss?  God Bless, imho it was the worst loss i've experienced as a St. Johns fan (15 yrs).  I dont watch worry abt how much the other team tries and how much it means.  THe more it mattered to them was the more embarrassing it was for us. 

I know its apples and oranges but when the Giants lost on Sunday, the last thing in my mind was what a great player Michael Vick is...

Uconn fans are trashiest. SU isn't far behind.

It comes down to whether you're talking about former students, or locals, who are otherwise known as trash, or poor people.

I just watched the Brownlee tackle on a defenseless airbourne player. That was borderline abuse. First the other guys was defenseless and Brownlee hammered him with the body. Am I missing something here?

It was a flagrant foul. But a good one, if that makes any sense....

Enjoyed the Fordham loss?  God Bless,

I enjoyed it too.  Yes, it was a damn brutal loss.  But the game itself was tight to the end and darn exciting.  As was the St. Bonnie game.  It was up and down basketball, a ton of points were scored and the place was going nuts.

I'd never been to the beautiful Fordham campus, the small, quaint Rose Hill gym where you're right on top of the action, or eatin dinner on Arthur Ave., the true little Italy.  Plus, my entire family was with me in red representing and all and all it was a pleasanat mini road trip.

In general, following Johnnie bball should be and is a fun part of my life.  Other parts?  Not as fun.

You got to stop and smell the roses sometimes.

I like you're Mike Vick analogy.  It's a good one.
