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

[Wolfie]

Agree, SS&G. It's never been this 'high' this 'century'.
And yup, we need a better nickname.
What the heck is a 'Red Storm' anyway?!? Lol.
My favorite is 'Red Raiders' but TX Tech's got that one, although a number of colleges have the same / similar nicknames.
Just surfing here:
Red Marauders,
Raiders,
Vikings,
Padres,
Vinnies (Vincentians),
New Yorkers.
I'll stop.

a few more:

Warriors,
Kings,
Explorers,
Dutchmen.

Now, I'll stop, maybe. Lol.

I lied:

Yorkers,
Cardinals,
Bishops.

Okay, maybe now....

Suffer through listening to Jimmy B for a few minutes to hear a great story about Louie

Very simple: The Johnnies! announcers and reporters have referred to us as that for years.

Would that work for all the women’s teams also?

I share the trepidation about Johnny Hoops.
We have been preconditioned to expect the worst, i e.., 23 consecutive years of extreme disappointment and worse.
It may not be. It may be one more stinker and we may be cursed for another generation, or worse.
But, at this point, I'll take the other side of the bet.
As Monte has said: "...the hoop gods owe us."
I'm going with that sentiment, at least through the remaining HS recruiting process and tracking transfer portal results.
"We'll be fine...", as one astute poster said earlier.
I, for one, cannot wait for the Tip-off of the 2023 - 24 Season.
I sense 'relevance' on the rise for Johnny Hoops...finally.
My observation is that Billionaires (Mike Repole) rarely lose their bets.
I'll go with that.

Billionaires lose lots if bets. They can afford to.

How about the Red Hot Chili Peppers! We can have Flea on the court playing his guitar naked as a mascot.

With a sock of course.

Doesn't mean it's not a stupid name though.

I’ve always liked it a lot better than some of the other lame suggestions I’ve seen.

You mean you don't want us to be the Cherry Men?

 

[espken]

I’ve always liked it a lot better than some of the other lame suggestions I’ve seen.

To me it will always be Redmen or Johnnies. Anything else is just pure substitute.

How about the Madison Square Gardeners in order to stop all this out of towner ownership BS?

The Red Longjohns?

It's a business expense. They get wealthier net / net, so it ain't a loss imo.
Lol.

Right, and it's okay, but the St. John's Johnnies sounds redundant to me, plus i bet rivals will either call us 'The John's', or wave pics of urinals at us.
Lol.

 

[MugCostanza]

Wonder what 2nd year D1 team St. Thomas University's nickname is

 

[Wolfie]

The Red Longjohns?

Ha, but it'd be scorching in CA with long johns on. Lol.
I guess my top 4 are: Kings, Raiders, Cardinals, and Padres, but who knows of it'll ever be changed.
If we would be the St. John's Kings, the women could be called the St. John's Queens, lol.

Unfortunately, that would be sexist, homophobic and transphobic.

 

[gregbodkin]

Ok, the Tournament is over. Pukon won (Yechhhh). Let the SJU transfer portal begin!!!!!

 

[Wolfie]

Well, a few Queens were more powerful than some Kings, lol.
