Love every bit of this post on the Athletic. Great peek behind the curtain of the old Big East:

A couple of interesting pieces:

The public stuff is now the stuff of legend — Thompson declaring Manley Field House officially closed, the “Sweater Game” between No. 1 St. John’s and No. 2 Georgetown, Walter “The Truth” Berry rejecting Pearl Washington on a would-be Syracuse game-winner — but it didn’t end when the buzzer sounded. Behind closed doors, at the annual coaches meetings, that’s where things got real. “I don’t remember much in the way of specifics,’’ Thompson says with a big laugh. “There was too much yelling.’’

...and...

Meeting agendas were fluid, created by whichever coach rotated into the president’s role that year. “Us young knuckleheads, we’d have an actual agenda,’’ says Carlesimo. “Then you’d get Louie and he’d walk in and say, ‘Shit, I didn’t know I was president this year.’ ’’
 
Speaking of the "good old days", I was watching different videos on facebook this morning and came across this interview with Conan and Chris Farley back in the 90s. Anyway, Adam Sandler comes out of the back and to my surprise look who he's reppin' [attachment=722]IMG_20190220_080408.jpg[/attachment]

Thought it was pretty cool and had to do a double take.
