1. If I am not mistaken Steve Watson our AD would have been the AD at St.Bonnies and the AD for their current coach? Having left the Bonnies in 2014.
2. Chit...always tough when you are watching with divided loyalties.
3. Will be a homecoming of sorts for Greg Dolan. Greg is from the Buffalo area. He has gotten a lot of publicity in the local papers. And in one of the articles he gave the thumbs up to Buffalo pizza over Chicago deep dish....still like him.
4. I think how the post play, plays out will be a big factor. There post guys Venning/Brown average together about 20. Good news is Venning has fouled out 4 times this year. Maybe Dame can YMCA him to death and Miles can sweep the glass clean as Red Rush used to describe Jim AJAX Tillman
5. Also would prefer that Coach had left the Pride thing alone...but I am nervous by nature and Coach V does not mind going toe to toe.

Steve Watson was the AD who hired Mark Schmidt. Steve was popular and well respected at Bona. Steve's father retired as one of the most beloved professors at Bonas.

I am confused regarding the Charles Pride comments. Chuck is a really genuine and classy young man. He ultimately chose the Bonnies due to NIL and the opportunity to play with his lifelong friend, Mika Adams Woods. Both players are Syracuse natives. I believe that Drew would have been better off keeping those comments in house. The optics IMO were not good.

I was raised in Rochester, NY. There is no way that western NY pizza is better than deep dish! We have a couple of pizza joints in the area that try to make deep dish. The product is not great. Yikes.

A key factor will be how much physicality will be allowed by the officials.

I didn't mind the Pride comments. NIL was obviously the big factor but when you say no because of NIL and because you don't think the team can win or is good enough. That is a straight shot at the guys on the team now and also a slight jab at coaching in my opinion because the coach recruits and picks the guys for said team.
