We need something like that. Not a bad seat in the house.

If you think the benches in CA are uncomfortable, those seats look to be downright painful. B)

Colonoscopy section

A give away event
Rather than a bobble head
A colonoscopy
Great for those fans who have tickets but no
Medical
Insurance!

And now that I view this new arena symbolically, it's DePaul's way to say to its disgruntled fans:
"screw you!"

Look nothing like my gastroenterologist's instruments. Are you guys sure it's a doctor who's been giving you colonoscopies?

Happy for DePaul. It's been a long time coming. Will help with retaining some Chicago talent. Good for the Big East also.

Where is it located? Wasn't one of their problems that their current arena is no where near the city/campus?

It is located just a few stops from Lincoln Park on the CTA. No need to drive and easier than St. John's students getting to the Garden. Much much easier!

I went to a few games at the current place. Was close to Ohare airport in I believe Rosemont. Not easy for the kids to get too. They needed something better and sounds like they got it.

My gastro doc doesn't use any instruments. Maybe I should make him buy me dinner the night before my "procedure".

Greg McDermott offered Ohio State job

Lower tier of salary in the big east. Hopefully Creighton pays up to keep him.

If they don't at least offer (maybe the lure of OSU is something Creighton can't compete with, I don't know), then, if I'm a Bluejays supporter, I would seriously question where all the money from the 18,000+ gate they get every game is going to.

Good hire for Ohio State. Loss for the Big East.

True but better losing Holtman than Mack or McDermott IMVHAIO.

It will also be interesting to see how Holtmn does where expectations and types of players and style are very different. He's a really young coach in terms of experience and coaching and was blessed to get the Butler job where you can get those types of players to buy in. Recruiting at Ohio St is a different world as will be managing the talent especially as he's expected to be an upgrade over a winning coach who at least publicly got fired for not recruiting those types.
