When it comes to the media Steve Lavin has the Midas touch. We came from out of the shadows last year and lo and behold were everywhere - television - newspapers - the internet. Now it looks like all eyes will turn towards St. John's next year as well. :knuppel2:

And he calls Malik Stith a foward.  I mean he's been writing the best stories about the program all year (besides your crew of course, Dave) but just because you're blogging is no excuse to be sloppy.

MKras, you are right I am.  All those Irish folk look alike on paper.   ;)

See ESPN's final rankings...

Disappointing to see Harrison drop into the 60's but on the other end of the spectrum its very exciting to see Pointer surge into the mid 20's. Overall very impressive rankings. We should be in for a lot of fun this season.
