It was nice being at Gentile Center today for our game against Illinois State, despite the outcome and despite my wearing my NFL Arizona Cardinals jacket to the game. I did have a Loyola Ramblers polo and Loyola Ramblers baseball cap on too, mind you. This was my first game of the season. As you know, my job is such that I cannot get to all our games so I go to 2 or 3 a year, usually after the holidays. Weather permitting, I plan on being at our game this coming Saturday against Indiana State.
It was nice being at the homecoming game. I wish I could have been to the alumni game earlier but I had things to do to prepare for this dreaded snowstorm hitting us. I liked seeing that former players around, the 1985 Sweet Sixteen team, and the 2014 National Champion Men's Volleyball team. I'd also be remiss if I did not thank 25yearstreak for inviting me to watch the game with him at courtside today.
As for the game itself, from what I saw, the bad FT% and turnovers in our own offensive end really killed us today. Also, we really miss Milton Doyle. Had he been in the lineup, I have no doubt we would have won today and a few other losses we've had in this tough stretch. Hell, I would not have put it past us to beat Wichita State the other night had we had Doyle healthy.
Also, you obviously do not see me here very often. I have basically shifted my online presence from message boards to social media. Nowadays, I spend a lot of my online opining on Facebook (
