Chasing Ghosts: DePaul's sad journey from name brand to also-ran
DePaul has gone from a national program to a Big East afterthought. When will the Blue Demons rise again?
www.espn.com
ESPN is running a series called "Chasing Ghosts" where they breakdown a program that had some glory years in the past but is not as good now. I haven't read all of them, but the ESPN conference teams seem to get a lot more gentle treatment than the Fox conference teams.
I was puzzled to see ESPN have a story on their main college basketball page about Depaul, but then when I saw that they had done St. Johns, and Georgetown was up next, it made a lot more sense. ESPN basically says Depaul will suck forever, and is not particularly kind to St. Johns either. I am pretty sure UConn has made the lineup card on this series with our recent announcement.
