I literally was telling friends today at a friends bday party how my ummm not so legal video empire came to a crashing end sophomore year in high school ( 86 ) which was the result of to kill a mockingbird and porn. If we ever meet I'll tell you the story it literally changed the trajectory of my life and I'm 50-50 if it was for the better or not and the worst thing my father made me get a regular freaking job that paid like 3.35 an hour which was minimum wage back then ( that slave labor definitely impacted me for the better making me realize I'm never settling for that shit again ) :)
 
Just fyi, fits with recent media spin, from Zach.:

The latest: A source close to Rick Pitino said the meeting went very well and it is trending in the right direction for him to take the job. No decision, the source said, has been made. Pitino and St John's administrators discussed what has to happen to make the program successful again and the school was receptive to what Pitino felt is important for that to happen, the source said. Pitino is planning to meet with Iona higher-ups and his players on Monday.

Didn't log on until afternoon today and I really can't believe I had to wade through a bunch of pages where there are people still paranoid, still saying he'd go to Georgetown, still worried he's staying at Iona. Are we really this beaten down as a fanbase?

And apparently I missed Maher being called an elitist.😁

Elitist is what I would be if I had his job and his passport. He's pretty mellow all things considered. 😁

That was the funniest thing. Being called an elitist was kinda funny because I'm pretty much the opposite and almost everyone here on the board has met me except for the guy who called me it. :)

No reason to meet with the Iona higher ups and the players for anything other than "Thanks for everything, I'm leaving".

Not sure what the seemingly coordinated reluctance is among the Twitter bluechecks like Zach and Zags in saying it's a done deal.

Agree 100%.
I'll take the 'under' lol.
 
I'm seeing visions for next year.
Rick is going to take us back in time to the 1980s.
MSG will have to open up the 400 level. That game in 87, during the first game one of my older brothers said to me "You see how empty this place is right now? Just watch how packed this place gets for the 2nd game." and man MSG was rocking for SJU. I'd say atleast 75% - 25% SJU favor.

If you build it they will come. I see top25 next year, getting our first ncaa win in 24 years, great start, but wait til 3-4 years in.

I want to be ranked #1 and win a NC, and that's exactly what he does for his teams.

Imagine the meltdown here if Iona counters with $12 million a year. 😁

I wonder how many posters who are applauding this were saying not to long ago that Coach Carnesecca should never be allowed anywhere near another coaching search.

I think a lot of people have changed their tune, including I assume a majority of the BOT, which in the past would not have gone this route. But, it is a basketball stoke of great fortune, if it happens as expected. St. John's and its fans are not used to good fortune on the court (not in a long while anyway).
 
Pitino is a hall of fame career basketball lifer . He is saying all the right things. He isn't going to say yes without letting his current team and higher ups know. That's a class act. I expect to hear something formal for tommorrow or Tuesday
