Message: [QUOTE="browndog319, post: 3205655, member: 7185"] The Liacoras Center IS nice. However, you can die going there. So there’s that. Temple is in a scary part of Philly. I forgot they weren’t a basketball team for us. A St. Joe’s alum will never root for Villanova. And they won’t admit the Hawk is dead. They’re the only ones - although firing Martelli was as close as they’ll come to admitting it. But they HATE Villanova. Have you spent time with actual St. Joe’s families? Like it’s crazy. In 2004, when they missed going to the Final Four by a few buckets but we went and won the whole thing, I spent the whole season listening to how UConn wasn’t the real deal and how they were going to win the whole thing... based on our one bad loss in the fall when Okafor was struggling with back spasms. The rest of the city will root for any local school in March, however. [/QUOTE]
