I know we will have the whole off-season to discuss this and I am sure that some news org will do an article on the monetary value to the university that this season and NCAA tourney appearance is worth, but check out google trends and see that Loyola Ramblers is trending at an all-time high.

Hopefully enough to offer Porter a figure that will keep him around. I think the resources can be there, especially if fundraising picks up.

Just for the chuckles, I compared the search terms Loyola Basketball, along with DePaul Basketball and UIC Basketball. LUC is definitely in breakout mode...

I saw Dr. Kelly on Sat. night and said the value of Loyola on national broadcast TV for 2 hours is priceless. They pay for commercials, ads in the paper, etc. all the time. On Sunday they got 2 hours on CBS plus all the coverage that will come in the next 12 days. Hoping the Loyola game is a CBS game in round 1 and not TRUTV or TBS.

And mgr , what did he say ??

If T,Kelly is Dr. Kelly and if not then I will just say that Dr. Kelly who took a lot of crap on this board (and I do not know enough to know if he deserved it or not...and I might have thrown some shade is way when I was in rant mode) has lost a ton of weight.....Good for him.
