Red Storm Tip-Off- October 14th

My goodness, enough of the arguing between students and alumni.  Both parties have been underwhelming the last number of years.  Yes, not enough students have shown up, and yes, the alumni that have shown up have been non-enthusiastic and COMPLETE fuddy-duddies when it comes to approving (more like NOT approving) of students when they get loud and enthusiastic).  So both parties have been at fault while the program stunk.  End of discussion.

The original point of this discussion can be solved in the future in a VERY simple way: just mail season ticket holders a pass to midnight madness ahead of time and we won't have this issue.  Those folks that pay the hundreds of dollars to go to games do deserve that privilege of not having to show up at 2pm to guarantee seats for this. The ticket department should just mail them tickets to this before the event.  Very simple.

  Good post T-Rab.  I'm confused why the student and alumni fanbase continue to call each other out. Honestly, if your a regular poster on here your a real fan and shouldn't have to justify anything.  i've been going to games since i was 10 in 1983.  Had season tickets for 80% of those years and was not a student ,or an alumni obviously.  From that outside perspective, neither group should be patting themselves on the back for being super fans.

  The students of today are the alumni of tomorrow.  Chill out. we are on the same team.

  Go SJU!

"The students of today are the alumni of tomorrow."

Agree wholeheartedly.  I've always been a proponent of having students front and center. 

I just hope Doug Gottlieb isnt there again

He lobbed up softballs for Lavin last year. What about Gottlieb bothers you?

Tarik representin the u proud.

I wished it was being televised by one of those networks. 

Just got back from Midnight Madness.  No scrimmage which was a little disappointing.  Also the dunk contest was between 2 random people, no players. Same stuff as usual, nothing special.  Harrison has a sick stroke from what I saw though and our team is stronger than I thought.  They may all be freshmen but they don't really look like freshmen in terms of size.

Yeah, its unfortunate but can't do scrimmages and dunk contests with only 8 guys.  One guy goes down and the team is done...  Look what happened at Louisville.  Shane Behanan busted his ankle tonight and it could be pretty bad.  Difference is that Louisville goes like 16 deep.  Big difference.

Pitino stated it was a mild sprain.

It was a big disappointment when those 3 did not qualify but even without them we still have one of the most talented incoming classes that we have ever had.

our team is very, very, very long!  have not seen this much height on any team.  that said, if we don't get amir and pelle by december we are going to suffer bad.  i'm sorry, but we're a six man team.  stith and white can't be expected to contribute.  it's a brutal schedule that's going to quickly wear on our guys.  it's hard to be optimistic.

ricardo gathers is an absolute monster.  he looks like he should be playing football.  having him and god's gift on the team next year is going to give us a tremendous edge.

i was happy to see the student participation.  i would say 90+% of audience was student.  wish we had this support throughout the year.

I agree...I'm not sure what the chances of Amir and Pelle making it in December but we need them bad.  Hopefully they take care of business and the NCAA gets out of the way.

one last thing... the ladies love mo harkles ;-)  hahahaha

have never heard so many screams from women at a sporting event.

i saw one of the prettiest woman i have ever seen in my life. my god she was beautiful

Disagree about Stith, I wouldn't count him out. He wont put up big numbers but I think he will be pivotal by leading by example with hustle & tenacity.

You Saw Stith Leadership tonight just doing the warm up drill the guys looked pretty lost and he was telling them where to be. I honestly hope Stith start that would be testament to our coaching staff ,his hard work & he is from NY I will always pull for NY players harder. Plus we could focus on big men in our recruiting classes Have green & Nu already on the roster. I am pulling for you Stith

Board rules mandate that when commenting on a woman's beauty, said comment must be accompanied with a picture of said woman.  If a picture of said woman is not available, a picture of a woman with comparable beauty is acceptable.

You've been warned!
