A few clarifications:
USF is in Tampa
UCF is in Orlando
Manhattan College was originally in Manhattan. It’s also where the 7th Inning Stretch was created.
If Columbia isn’t in Columbia, which Columbia isn’t it in, South Carolina or South America?

Or Columbia Maryland.
Manhattan College is not in Manhattan Kansas either.
And while we are at it, Binghamton University isn’t in Binghamton, it is in Vestal.
And let’s not start on the pro sports like New York Jets and Giants or the San Francisco 49er.
I did know that UCF was in Orlando but I don’t know if changing the name really matters.

And Manhattan College is now known as Manhattan University (since 2024). Run by the Christian brothers who also taught yours truly at Mater Christi.
Manhattan College (now Manhattan University) esteemed alumni Rudy Giuliani.
I went to mater Christi also. For four yEars the brothers Would only talk about Manhattan college as if no other college existed. Results - 99 of 330 male studEnts went to manhattan. I was one of six that went to Fordham, despite going To see every game at alumni hall, my junior and senior years of high school.

A good friend of mine is close friends with MR and Maria. We all invested some pennies compared to big investors in Vitamin Water, then Body Armour and eventually No Bull. Best investments ever! Mike is the reason we are relevant again. He's a very "colorful" character like my friend. Mike and family were recently in Provence for his cousin's wedding and he is one of the most genuine and generous people ever to graduate St. John's.
MR negotiating Rick's new contract, with Rick saying, "Add another zero Mike."
pretty sure he is signing beast of east name
Just figured out we have another thing in common besides lack of good looks and from Queens. We're both left handed.
It was great that Mike R was at the game. Plus, No Bull sponsorship was justifiably everywhere. And, my two cents, No Bull sneakers are fantastic.
MR flexing his street cred.
Great brand builder.
He's still a dick but he's paying the bills so...
Steph doesn’t need Repole or anyone else. Kind of laughable frankly.
Mike R is a genius. Sorry the very few haters out there. Remember: Everyone has a price.
I’d pay Steph 20 million plus a piece of the company to wear No Bulls. I bet Mike would too.
And the shoes are excellent. I’m wearing a pair right now, and I wore a different pair for my workout at the Broadway YMCA in Staten Island.
I should buy stock in No Bull on Monday.
But for Mike R we would be worried about losing to Wm and Mary. We would be worried about losing to Wm or Mary for that matter.
Be grateful. I am.
Appreciative for MR and what he has done for SJU basketball. But I repeat Steph doesn’t need MR or anyone else. He is a legend especially where I live and a very humble one at that.
Of course not, but Repole built two beverage companies with sports celebrity endorsers likely given shares. Famously Kobe Bryant made a $4 million investment in Body Armor which his estate got a 100x ROI.
Curry of course doesn't "need" Repole but with Tom Brady as a partner already, Curry is well aware that he may be able to strike a great deal. NBA players endorsing a sneaker goes pretty far in potentially boosting sales so who knows.
With our NIL budget in the stratosphere, Repole now is the defacto team owner to extent. Not exactly the partner I'd want, but that's the price of success I guess.
