66:1 odds we win it all per rumble. Sounds about right.

Right now Joe Lunardi has us as the first team out of the tourney next season. A little ridiculous if you ask me.

 With our recent track record you do not get the benefit of the doubt. STJ basketball needs to earn that respect back.  We are headed in the right direction,, but it doesn't happen overnight. Not like we are returning a tourney team here..

True. As much as I hate to admit it, it makes sense why we don't get the benefit of the doubt. People know we have the talent they just haven't seen us put it together yet. Let's hope this is the year we get that chemistry.

He's a numbers cruncher and not known for talent evaluations.  When the season is 2/3's finished, I'll start caring what he has to say.  I think he is crazy to leave this team out, but what have we proven?  Nothing.

If it's not this year we break out, not sure when we ever will. Minimum of 20 wins and a NCAA berth. Anything above that i.e. being ranked and a few tourney wins are extra IMO.

 We need a member to travel to Europe and scout the squad for us . Need some detailed reports.. I nominate Maher... He loves that shit.  Plus he seems to be pretty even keeled and reasonable when it comes to this team...

  MCNPA..........Maher..........FOAD-    Thats the spectrum of fandom.

 MCNPA- don't take that as an insult... quite the opposite actually.. Love your optimism.

With this roster I shouldn't be driven as nuts this time around. We will have a veteran core and some young studs. Let's hope the stars align for us.

LOL

I'm still in recovery mode from Jazzfest and New Orleans last week.

If they'd announce where we would be playing and on what days there is a good chance we might go depending on what we end up deciding as far as wedding plans etc

I'm telling you now Joe, this is going to be a season full of lineup changes that is going to frustrate the hell out of us as fans at times.   Just be prepared!
We'll be good, but you know coach likes to experiment, and this year we have an incredibly deep bench.   
Every game were going to be calling for somebody to play more and somebody else to play less.    I can see it now

That's totally not fair!! I <3 Justin just as much as you do!! Just because I don't --

Er sorry, for a minute I thought this was the Belieber board, because you're calling me out for inadequate fanboi ism like, you know, a 13 year old girl. (I think Justin's dreamy by the way.) Whereas this board's allegedly full of grown ass men talking about college basketball. All I can say to your accusation that I don't heart Lavs enough is: Whatever. You don't know me. I do what I want.
