31 years ago we switched from Redmen to Red Storm, but we've always had our alternate "JOHNNIES"

Ouch!
So my sister turned 70 and there was a dinner Saturday night. I DVR'd the game.
CBS Sportsnet, such b.s., so when I went to watch it, they had SH Providence instead for over ten minutes, and joined our game with about 7 minutes gone by and a 19-19 score.
Then I have to listen to Lappas talking about going to the 40th reunion of their 1985 team, he was an assistant to Rollie. Quietly rooting for Nova.
So the block I DVR'd was 7-9PM, but of course, these games go over, so instead of seeing the whole game it cuts off with 3 minutes to go and the score still very close.
I should have DVR'd for 7-9:30 PM, but not seeing the first 7 minutes stunk. I did not need to see the end of a bad SH-Providence game.
Leaving 2 hour blocks for the games is silly, they go at least 2:15 in most cases without OT.
Rick told him "RJ to win this game we need you to step up, I'm putting you right back in" and the rest is history.
Does anyone call them Red Storm? Most write ups call them JOHNNIES.
He was there as a top assistant for several years, knew the culture and the laying the land. Does he get it or not, maybe, maybe not but he would have received strong consideration.
Was it a line or something more impromptu. After the Xavier game, some players shook/slapped hands and the quick hug but it was out on the court, not a line and not organized.
I get the history. He was video coordinator there for 2 years before being elevated to assistant. I would compare him to Mahoney moreso than Norm.
Unlike either, Neptune also had success as a head coach. Granted, it was one year.
14-14 Fordham, but yes still better than either.
I usually block games for an hour over to cover possible double OT or some long delay.
They were 16-16/8-10 in Atlantic-10, which for that program is a huge success. Their first .500 season in five years, and second in 15 years. Urgo built on it after that initial year but things are trending back in its typical direction.
A success compared to the other two.
Not just an unpopular view, perhaps an uninformed view.
He rebounds very well, he dives for loose balls, he alters shots, he presses the inbounds passer forcing turnovers and poor play up the court, now was not the time to bring up real or perceived flaws.
Without RJ this year, St. John's would be near the bottom of the Big East standings.
I've read 90/10, 85/15, but was it really 70/30?
Didn't sound like that on the t.v.
Mahoney in his three years at Manhattan combined won 16 games.
I’ve always like Johnnies best hence my screen name lol
Mahoney first season w/SJU, Big East Coach of the Year and NCAA team.Mahoney in his three years at Manhattan combined won 16 games.
Nova hoping for the latter in year 3.
Sec 111 Bar was 80/20 Nova fans...lol
