Pitino to revive ST. John's like he revived the Knicks.

The local newsies are paying big attention to us. Here's a couple of nice positive articles as our season kicks off.

They're still in business?

Daily News is a joke, I think mostly AP stories lol

NYDN killed their business with their pay wall.

NYDN killed their business with their pay wall.

And rapidly declining ad revenue

They also went woke. I found them to be a middle ground pre 2014, cannot have a reporter trying to stalk a GMs son! Thought Isola leaving was bad.

It's a good comparison although I don't see SJU having the equivalent of a young Patrick Ewing.

But perhaps he can find lightning in a bottle as he did with Mark Jackson.

BTW, the Post would be exactly where the News is if it wasn't Rupert's nostalgic toy - the Post was his first real foray into America.

Other divisions of News Corp have propped it up for years, decades.

Changes may be coming with ol' Rup retiring.

I only read the NYP for the Sports pages and Vacarro and Mushnick and some of their other writers like Larry Brooks are good too.

Fortunately our fan base is old enough to remember buying a copy of the first ever edition.

Wait, you didn’t finish…“and you sir, are no Alexander Hamilton.”

Pitino convinced Mark Jackson that Mark was better than Magic Johnson. He also convinced Ewing he wasn't Bill Russell.
