But his mother went to a Vincentian school.....DePaul.To be fair if he’d have gone to Seton Hall he might not have made the rookie forum
Can't wait to see Spike Lee at our games!Pitino court side at the Knicks game.
That’s a stock market crash you had. Just change your handle to class of 2008I lost about 250K, but it looks like it's all relative in the end. Mind boggling that they blew it for the first time out.
Nah, I moved my 401K to mostly a Stable Value Fund right before that so I actually had a gain that year. but to stay on topic, it is still amazing that they screwed this up.That’s a stock market crash you had. Just change your handle to class of 2008![]()
The biggest surorise yet to come is Bill Janetschek waiting for the right moment to explain he meant to donate $32.50 not $32.5 million.Simplest terms SJU let someone who failed math run this thing.
Game 1 next season. Red.fans member displaced from his seat, protecting his turf.
My rule of thumb is not to look at your age in terms of when to move retirement assets but when you exlect to draw on those funds. If that age is 60, and you need those funds to live off, then begin to move assets out of equities towards fixed rate of return.Nah, I moved my 401K to mostly a Stable Value Fund right before that so I actually had a gain that year. but to stay on topic, it is still amazing that they screwed this up.
In the 1990's the school started taking the costs of our tickets out of our budget lines. I was given my 4 comps near the bench for my wife and kids, but everything else including tickets for my team doctors were charged to my sports medicine budget. They finally ended this practice in the mid 2000's when they realized other departments were transferring funds from one act to another to cover additional game tickets.I believe even the highest ranking priests and Deans below Shanley buy their own tickets. I'd have to imagine that the priests at least get a discount. I wouldn't be shocked to learn a Dean took it out of department budgets but that's never been intimated. I can assure you though, those folks gets prime seats with little priority points.
Zuby just loves RJ. That's not talked about enough in my book. To me, it counts for a real lot.I hear you but it is kind of a tough one because last years team had multiple stars and RJ, despite winning POY, was my least favorite.
I wasn't a fan of Kadary in the beginning of the season and by mid February he was one of my favorite Johnnies ever. Zuby is Zuby. Scott is one of my all time favorite glue guys.
I will always appreciate RJ and he gave us some great memories but I just didn't love his game. Relied way too much on his athleticism IMO
It also kinda sucks, but sometimes your final memory with someone can leave the biggest impression. I was in the building for the Arkansas game, RJ wasn't the only one who played poorly that day, but he was the only one who looked like he didn't care.
absolutely. While I am so appreciative of the ride last years team took us on, when I think about them it is hard to get the image of Zuby trying to shake RJ awake during the Ark game out of my headZuby just loves RJ. That's not talked about enough in my book. To me, it counts for a real lot.
My last post on this thread I promise. The Shamorie ( I was one who said he made a mistake ) heck I said Jakaar made mistake and others. This was Pre Nil. We will have plenty of kids going to try and go early now with Rick. RJ was is a monstrous talent. Is he top 60 or whatever talent ? Who cares. He is 2 million or more dollar talent
Kids earlier Omar Shamorie arguable made mistakes because of the thought if they stayed in school longer their draft status would improve so stay in school. Moose made the excellent argument that Cook had a great career after
So if some make the argument that Shamorie should have stayed in school and not left college then don't try and say RJ made a mistake to try and go pro then go back to college and make a shiteton of money
Simply put, RJ and Zuby will (likely) be remembered very differently. Like different tiers different.I believe the start of the RJ vs Ponds discussion is that someone thought that RJ would be remembered with Mullin and Berry and my comment was that I thought he would be remembered more in the nature of Shamorie Ponds. It wasn't about "made a mistake" or "should have stayed in college," it was just about their prospective place in SJU history.
Definitely room for different opinions but the more I consider it the more I think RJ is very much a current version of Ponds. And FWIW I liked Ponds a lot, he just did not have the advantages around him that RJ did.
My reference to Shamorie had zero to do with his decision to stay in school.My last post on this thread I promise.
