Hello all
I was unaware until tonight that my play by play and commentary was a topic of conversation on this board. I will say I appreciate the kind words and those that are critical of my comments. It gives me much to think about.
I hope that those of you who have taken issue with my broadcasts would be as honest in person as you have been here, it's easy to take shots and be critical on these boards, I've done it in the past, regretfully.
I am a homer, I spend countless hours with SJU Coaches and players in many different sports, I want them to do well. There's not a coach at SJU or player I've not liked, maybe hard to believe but true. I have good relationships with most of the coaches in the league, during interviews I try to highlight their best player, if they are having a tough year, I try to look for a positive in my first question, and go from there. I have made comments about St Thomas that some would see as harsh, others would say are accurate. An apology is in order, so I will offer one here, I should not be so critical, for that I am sorry. I think St. Thomas has an outstanding football team, they could win it all. I don't agree with some things that have transpired in the past, but as Gary Fasching so often says, you can't do anything about that, so I'll press on.
I like to think I have a passion, I love what I do, I enjoy it, the SJU slant will probably stay after 16 football seasons and my current 17th basketball season it won't go away. Thanks again for all the feedback.
