I too was following SJU basketball on the message boards since the AOL boards and was here when he started this one. I literally grew up reading these boards and enjoying them every day since I graduated PA school at SJU in 1999 which I believe was when the board was started.
I’ve grown up with this community for so long it seems cheap to call it just a message board. That said, there isn’t a single college basketball community nor board of this type with such a large following on a board not owned and run by one of the big companies. Paul always wanted to keep it that away and he did for decades now.
His spirit will always live on here and I’m thrilled to hear that his kids will continue on in his stead. Rome wasn’t built in a day and neither was this community, but it was all built by Paul. Rip Paul.
