Wouldn't disagree.
As you know, he has been friends with Ed for a long time and Ed once worked at Vitamin Water
refresh my memory. Kull was in th athletic depot during the Lavin years ? I’m relatively sure looking at that pic that he sat with us with Kevin Barry another very good guy at the Kentucky away game Lavins second year. Very nice guy from what I rememberjerseyshorejohnny post=433336 said:[URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v[/URL]=Nrt6B8LYu7M

Ed was in Institutional Development (Fundraising)
Left SJU after not being treated well (I will not get into details) and eventually found his way to Fordham.
Nothing really direct. He's friends with Repole and they done some business together.Proud Alumn post=433561 said:What does Vinnie Viola have to do with St. John's?
Proud Alumn post=433455 said:Agree, Ed is a good guy. He may have been thrown into too big of a role than he was ready at the time at SJU.
Also agree about Repole. He was wrong to publicly knock down Cragg and SJU the way he did. If he wants to be part of the program he should reach out and make amends.
yes on the radio rant he had nothing but praise for CraggRob post=433579 said:This is the part of the thread I don't understand. Repole's interview on Francessa was all about praising Cragg. He seemingly loves Cragg. He killed Bobby G, Bobby O and others involved in administration. But was adamant in his praise for Cragg and certain others (like the dean of the law school).
Facts. And many of the old guard on here were crying and whining about Repole's rant and essentially saying we don't need him/are fine without him. Now those same people are upset he appears to be supporting Kull and Fordham, and still want Mike to apologize, "swallow his pride" and come back here? LOL! C'mon now. Get a grip. Sleep in the bed you made - when you implied we did not need him and he was "inappropriate" - pride's a good thing.Rob post=433579 said:This is the part of the thread I don't understand.

Couldn't disagree more with you. SJU did nothing wrong. Your post is just a case of someone very far from the situation who knows nothing about what unfolded.Chris7 post=433589 said:Facts.

Not sure they have done business but apparently are in the same horse racing circles and have become close friends. Viola is also a sports nut, and owns the Florida Panthers hockey team. I think they are similar personalities with similar family backrounds and obviously very wealthy. It was an interesting interview.Moose post=433567 said:Nothing really direct.
