He lists many plusses and the potential we had almost five years ago and ends his post with: Quote: It is quite possible that in a reasonable amount of time (e.g. five to seven years), Loyola may be post-season bound. Reading through the first 6/7 pages, I’d say there was actually a pretty decent split between those that were ok with it, those that thought it was the worst thing in the world, and those that didn’t like it, but accepted it. Among my SIU friends, there was very little “this is terrible” feeling. Many of them wished it would’ve been Murray State or Belmont, mainly because those are only a couple hours drives from Carbondale. My Chicago SIU friends loved it, since they can catch a game close to home now. Now Bradley fans, I remember a lot worse reaction from them. |

JCT ... I remember very well that string back when we joined the league. As I recall they were among the most vocal objectors. A win tomorrow night in their place would be especially sweet. Thanks for reminding me of that thread. If we can avoid turning the ball over 19 times, I really like our chances ... too much talent, too much depth. On another note, I believe Saturday will be a sell out, but there will be a large ISU turnout ... I would bet a quarter of the arena. Its going to be fun! Go Ramblers! |

I am going to sit down ,,,have a cup of coffee and reminisce about sitting in the first row at the St. Peters game and turning around......because I did not think there was anyone behind me.....I do not think there were 100 people.......and we were a THURSDAY team.... No matter how the season ends.....A full house,,,,a good team,,,some relevancy.... great kids who graduate at a top of the nation rate. NOW my biggest issues are waiting for them to start selling beer again.....and the 5 minutes it takes to exit the parking structure Seriously to all you fans who have hung in there and to all the people at the athletic department.....Its SWELLA FELLA...ITS GANELLA..... On a side note.....Spring is close..I have ants in the house.(forget the groundhog) |

I just tried pulling a pair of GA's and struck out there, too. Seems like it will be a sell out if the students show. |

Nate, pretty sure you can buy a beer at Gentile. I sat with my buddy and his son at a game not too long ago and the youngster bought a beer at halftime. I think it was Pabst, the beer I was weaned on at Hamiltons. But I thought you gave up beer for Lent. |
