[BigErnMcCracken]

He just threw his stool!

Gross.

He just threw his stool!

He’s peaking too early...

 

[AreBee1969]

Gross.

He’s not THAT old.

USJ should drop football and go back to the Big East

Holy crap if only that was 77-74 how epic would that have been?

Epic, I tell ya.

 

[Mr. French]

Wow, I’m not kidding I think this was on espn in some form. I was looking for UB and WVU and I saw st. Joseph’s of CT and didn’t bother clicking, then thought twice... could that be true?

If so, I’m annoyed I didn’t tune in.

 

[AreBee1969]

Holy crap if only that was 77-74 how epic would that have been?

Epic, I tell ya.

I thought the same thing!
A really enjoyable night. The students were fantastic, and USJ has a few kids who can play. Jimmy was Jimmy. He whacked Miller in the arm after an USJ offensive foul and was all over the refs. A couple kids were first hand recipients of his quick hook! They went on a huge run to start the 2nd which was reminiscent of the old days with frenetic pressing and multiple forced turnovers. It was fun to watch.

I did find it funny that USJ gave away free T-shirts that said “Our House” while using a rented gym.

The look on his face when he got the T... God bless him. Hall of Famer Jim Calhoun returns to coach DIII St. Joe's (video)

 

[ScottBonz]

The way he points and yells on defense. Hurley looks just like him. Uncanny.

 

[Dove]

Next up...Medgar Evers College...

 

[Huskybass]

Holy crap if only that was 77-74 how epic would that have been?

Epic, I tell ya.

You would think one of these D3 kids could miss a shot to make it epic.

 

[huskymedic]

Considering there were folks who said he would never actually coach a game @ St. Joe’s - it’s gonna be a fun ride to follow:

Calhoun T'd up but wins coaching debut in D-III

Jim makes front page news on ESPN, way to go man!

 

[ElGuapo]

And they won again on Sunday.

Friday night was a blast.
We got there around 7:00 and went straight up to the top of the bleachers (so we could have wall to our backs) in the entrance corner.
Place filled up big time.

Here are some pics I took.

What would St. Joes do against U Hartford or Central? Blowout?

They don't have enough size to compete. Biggest different between d1-d2-d3 is size.

 

[CL82]

Gross.

Ironically, either way you interpret it, he was channeling his inner Bobby Knight.

 

[superjohn]

Just realized Calhoun's high scorer so far is Steve O'Neill's son, his dad used to light up the over 30 league in Litchfield. Great scorer, would go at it against Chuck Aleksinas.

 

[CL82]

I think I mentioned that to [a ref] one time. He tried to tell me, ‘I see that kind of block all the time.’ I said, ‘I'm sure you do — in high school.’ I can't understand. I was just trying to make an observation.”

God, I love that guy! [chuckle]

 

[ElGuapo]

That O'Neil kid was really good on Friday.
And remember that this team is only Freshman with two Sophomores and one Junior.
Plus the program didn't even exist before this season.

It's going to be fun to keep an eye on whatr Coach does there.

 

[Waquoit]

The stool could become a thing.
