Rick Pitino - Head Coach at St John’s University!!!

[Larry Wright]

As a lifetime Met and Johnny fan I predict Pitino after signing jumps up and down celebrating and gets hurt and is unable to coach for 8 months.

Maybe after Pitino is official, Goodman and Zagoria can start a twitter space with anyone else who wants to rant, rave, cry, b*tch, and moan about SJU.

Something tells me that even after Pitino is hired, there will still be some outside noise. For a while anyway. Fact is, some are going to hope that Pitino fails because thier hatred of Pitino is greater then their love of SJU.

Sad to say but you are 100% correct.

I've seen a lot of stuff said by the Anti Pitino crowd ( I'm not saying you are one ) but being a Met at St Johns fan yours is at least realistic

Heard Pitino was indeed on campus today.
Saw the Taco Bell stand in Marillac. He ordered that it be turned into a Chipotle.
And it was done.

Tuesday cannot come fast enough.

It will be fun discussing SJU basketball minus the outside noise.

Time to do big boy things, no more being chumps.

We're getting a sledge hammer with Rick.

To all the haters, it does not matter what you want, Rick is coming.

Pitino is my favorite basketball coach.
At this point just can’t see good things happening for the program.
Hope it happens but will believe it when it officially happens.
But then this program took the hardest working best player in its program and turned him into a lazy mail it in coach. So who knows what it has in store for Rick if does come.

Trust me this is like seeing your Atari system in your parents closet the week before Xmas. Pitino is finally coming

Starting to believe that. Though would also not discount Pitino at the press conference suddenly hitting Louie in the head with a chair and then putting a John Thompson towel over his shoulder.

Yes, but the Atari system is stil in my parents closet,

lol @ Atari.
Remember the boxing game? Was 2 boxes with 2 arms on it to throw punches,
Graphics now are insane.

 

[Larry Wright]

If does happen a no brainer had to do and should work out. Again just hard to wrap head around that concept. But even if Pitino comes and turns into coaching equivalent of Willie Mays stumbling around outfield for 73 Mets I appreciate the admin making the effort.

It's worth A LOT of $$$$$$$$$ now

That's okay. We'd still have him for the Big East Schedule. Lol.

Upgrades happening already!

Goodman said Pitino was willing to walk over broken glass (or something to that effect) to get the Georgetown job. He wasn't offered it.

Goodman is an unmitigated retrobate

How come I expect to wake up Tuesday morning, in a cold sweat, reading a note that says "I am resigning as HC of SJU" ?

Like I texted Kranmars before. The next 2 nights are 2 ambien nights for me because I'm so excited this is happening. No need for cold sweats

 

[mjmaherjr]

And the great news is that damn wind coming down the hill near Carnesseca didnt blow Pitino over when he was on campus today

I wish I were as confident as you !
