Hey all

I just got word that Loyola's full schedule will be released this afternoon.
Not sure if I'll get a copy ahead of when it gets posted to the athletics website/twitter, but if I do it'll be on my site and I'll post a link here

We certainly appreciate that. Love having you around here and can't wait to see what you have to write about the Ramblers this year!

Gross.

Here are the RPIs of the teams we are playing:
MSU - 17
UT San Antonio - 308
Kent State - 215
UIC - 317
Tulane - 220
Abilene Christian - 343
Southern Utah - 348
Texas Tech - 123
Boise State - 81
or Houston - 143
Jackson State - 299
McKendree - non D1
Rockhurst - non D1


This just affirms my belief that Porter is trying to save his job with "easy" games. Let's see how this backfires on him.

Oh Lord.

This is pretty disgusting. I'm embarrassed to be a Loyola basketball fan right now.

Is this how we're supposed to "change the culture" and develop a "winning" program? By playing crappy schedules and loading ourselves up with non-D1 teams? Yeah...that'll get us ready for conference play.

I haven't been critical of PM because I've genuinely believed that the program has been set back by a series of unfortunate circumstances. It's obvious now that PM cannot change this program (for the better). I highly doubt we will be an NCAA tourney team with Moser at the helm. Absent an amazing showing during conference play/MVC tourney, I will join the "Fire Moser" train.

We were supposed to redeem ourselves from the scheduling debacle last year. What will the MVC and its fans say of us now? Sure, MSU/BSU/TTU/HOU are upgrades but everything else is a considerable downgrade.

Ugh.

I heard that even our intrasquad scrimmage is a road game!

I was planning on buying season tickets for my girlfriend and I. That won't be happening anymore. If we don't totally embarrass ourselves against the trash competition, I may show up to a few home conference games.
