The Shut Up, Hurley shirts were the brainchild of a fan who sits near me and SJU85 and who is a true Hurley hater. He printed them, I was one of the wearers, and we did make the Jumbotron some. Those shirts got a lot of compliments!

How can we buy them? Saw them on the Jumbotron. Looked fantastic.

Btw complete credit it Lawmanfan who is one of my oldest friends on this site ( OLD ) but we saw him a few months ago and he’s definitely the same skinny size he was when we first became friends.

My excuse ? That’s going to be an E Hollywood story
 
I was in Section 109 today. Lower bowl felt like entirely St. John’s fans. Overall split was prob 65-35.

DM me (anyone who wants) with size and I will talk to the guy and see if he's making more. The ground floor price was $15, I can't tell ya if that will hold but for our crew probably yes

Some of my overall thoughts:
-- Sports generational trauma is real. My dad and I are both Mets fans. I wasn't comfortable with our lead at half time, or even with six minutes left after we got the lead back up from 9. It's very funny looking back on it, because that is such a silly thought with an elite defense + coach like this.

At just under six minutes I posted " we took their souls. this is over". You could just see it on TV, they reached that point that anyone who's played sports can recognize: when you know the team you're playing can't beat you and they know they can't beat you. Just total submission. Even Hurley's presser was subdued (for him) because he knew it had nothing to do with his team. There's literally nothing they could have done to beat us the way we played today. He wasn't even mad.
After the crap we've been through as fans of this program, understandable that in the moment you'd still be dreading a meltdown. Hell, someone in this thread already posted about not taking Butler lightly because it's a tough place to play. LOL But not this year. Not this team.

He seemed also to get what D system is funneling his man into traffic and recovering fine. Not saying he is a quick Dev type staying on the ball, but heady enough to hold his own on D in time as he develops. Just my preliminary opinion.

Agree. I think the thing you want to see from freshmen/newbies on the defensive end is "want to". They're going to get lost, make mistakes, whatever. But you want to see max effort. Lefty definitely shows that. Glover, earlier in the season, most certainly did not. He was getting there before he got hurt though. Hopefully the message was getting through.

I was actually going to post the exact same thing at that point. They knew it was over.
 
The scene: suburban Long Island, year 2050. Two kids on hoverbikes silently approach the porch of their neighbor.

"Hey Mr Maher, tell us again about the time St. John's destroyed Yukon!"

"Oh you kids, you just want to hear me say "can of whup-ass" "

"But what happened to the self proclaimed greatest coach in the world?" they asked.

"Well, he knew Coach Pitino had his number and he sort of disappeared. Last sighting, he was living under an overpass in Hartford, mumbling "Their D never stops!" "

"And the Yukon program?" the kids inquired.

Mr. Maher reflected for a moment. "They went into a nosedive and closed up. Last I hear, they were storing hay bales in Gampel Pavilion!"

The kids laughed uproariously and headed home. They never got tired of learning classic sports history.
