    St. John's Post Game Thread

    Couple of thoughts on this team: First, it's been a solid year, but this team didn't seem to develop during the course of the season as well as many other teams did. Second, I will be shocked if Mullins goes in the first round if he comes out. He's clearly a talent, but there is a lot of...

    OT: Worst catch phrases in sports.

    "For the benefit of our student athletes......" As said by any major college athletic department representative.

    OT: Good books

    Titan is terrific. JDR was a fascinating man. I just downloaded The Warburgs.

    More trouble in ACC paradise?

    I think you may have a problem with your football HC as well. Not sure what rational he could possibly have had to put that kid under center last season other than throwing in the towel.

    More trouble in ACC paradise?

    Until there is a well structured and enforcable spending cap (think salary cap) none of this is sustainable for anyone. Many athletic departments will spend whatever they need to and can get their hands on for top talent. That has set the stage for irresonsible spending which will continue...

    Conte has been dead for hoops for decades. When BC was in the Big East it was UCONN's home court in Boston. BC is going to need a hell of a run to restore any type of interest in that program and it's hard to see how that happens.

    Solid guard play and defense will take you a long way in the Tourney. The question is whether or not we have the shooters. imho

    More trouble in ACC paradise?

    I continue to wonder if the elite academics like BC, Stanford, Northwestern, etc. stay with big time athletics. The professional model does not fit with their academic mission. Financial demands are only going to increase in order to be competitive. The Ivies got it right years ago.

    Hypothetical: what do you do if you forgot you had jury duty?

    I don't know what the legal ramifications are, but I would tell this "friend" to contact the court and admit they forgot. I wouldn't let it pass in the hopes it all slips between the cracks.

    In what universe does the AD at Northwestern move on to Syracuse?

    Pour out a Stroh’s for the Motor City Bowl…

    I assume that's sarcasm....

    I think that's right.

    My prediction, it's only a matter of time before we see some players opt out of the CFP. Without meaningful monetary incentives to play in those games, why would some top NFL prospects on the cusp of big paydays take the chance? A different situation, but we already saw a coach leave his CFP...
