Oh low blow!! It didn’t help that one of my players got hurt at the start of the game and another was a pre-game scratch.

Actually haven’t had a beer in months. Not on the wagon as Scotch, Whiskey and Bourbon are still friends of mine. Helped me to get slimmer and healthier.

The team name was the name of my intramural football team that won back to back Championships (one in OT and one on the last play of the game) while I was a Student at St. John’s.

True, but Meyers was declared doubtful on Saturday and if you had just put in Zay Flowers you would have won, but more importantly Maher would have lost. I'm looking at a loss this week to Dylan and wanted to stretch my lead leading margin. Also would have been good if Jr. could have beaten Sr.

Now let's see if Josh can resurrect Amari for you.

Evan Miyakawa ranks BE 4th behind SEC. Big 12 and B10.

Says very close between Big 12 and SEC.

I went all P Diddy and put something in SJU85's cigar before he set his lineup that messed him up bad. Almost as bad as Norm Roberts coaching at St Johns ( keeping the thread on topic about College Basketball )

Trust me, I am killing myself over not starting Flowers.

Wow if indeed true:

Wow if indeed true:

This was rumored for awhile. I'd presume he's retiring at end of the year

 

[dk423]

Effective immediately! Wow!!

Looks like we'll need our second annual reckless speculation thread of potential transfer portal targets soon

 

[bucketshardy]

ok... what did he do.... no HC would "retire" days before tipoff... (atleast one win in the Bahamas lol)

Probably doesn’t want to deal with NIL and the new portal landscape, similar to Jay Wright.

I feel like it’s gotta be something more serious to do it at this time. But that’s a complete guess

 

[dk423]

I'd hope its not health related but that's the only thing that would make sense to do this close to the season starting

 

[paultzman]

NIL pressure is likely a variable and likely Bennett’s deliberate style of play is not conducive to portal mania success.

Neither of which matter in October though.

Still he had already dealt with the portal for this year. Seems awful odd to retire now (meaning right before the season starts). I hope it isn't a health issue. Maybe he's trying to preserve this redshirt?

Of course
