Ewers is a top 10 pick.
A Christmas miracle!I go to about a dozen games a year. Most compliments of my buddy Uber and his ticket brokerage conglomerate for unused tickets. On Sunday, I was in Ubers own seat and after I returned home discovered I didn’t have my wallet. I cancelled my credit/debit cards and began the journey of tracing my steps.
There were about 4 potential numbers to call. As you can imagine, getting anyone to pick up the phone on a holiday week wasn’t easy. However, the old standby NU Police are 24 x 7 and they were great. Navigating me to the WR lost and found and eventually following up with them 2 days later ( after they opened) and calling me on NYE that they did in fact find the wallet.
WR opened for a Women’s game yesterday and they told me to get there before it ended. The student ticket taker knew I was going to be there and after asking me my name handed me my wallet in 30 seconds. Apparently, there was another sap who also lost his wallet. I have no idea who turned in the wallet to lost and found, fan, security, custodian, but it was returned and all $228 in it was still there. Very thankful for all the NU personnel involved. There are good people associated with this University.
I thought you couldn't do multi-year deals.
Even Duke is making us look like little sisters!Tulane QB rated #1 in the portal transfers to Duke. Were we ever in the game for him?
It was a good crowd for a Christmas vacation out of area non conference game, Just suggesting that the lack of selections in different areas might have something to do with what they expected the crowd to be
True. I wonder if - at least in basketball - we could end up being a program that develops significant coaching talent. We have a few of the ingredients Brainy players, great coaches (CC coming into his own now for sure, and Lowery is a defensive savant), an identity that adjusts to the strengths of the players, and more recently gym rats who eat/breathe/sleeep basketball (something we never had in the past). Brooks will definitely be a coach someday - and I would think a very good one.After that game I thought Brooks is the most likely Collins alum to replace him someday as head coach. Credit to Collins that his two most accomplished PGs, McIntosh and Buie, could vie for that honor.
Looks like we may turn out to have hosted the champ this year !So much for our hosting the defending champs next year
Given the National NLRB history and the likely nature of new appointees, they are probably making the right call.Dartmouth basketball players just gave up their effort to unionize because they think the National Labor Relations Board is about to turn hostile with the incoming president's appointees.
