Time to break out the Early Times & 7, BleacherBum.

I'm at work at the golf course- - Not only do I have my Early Times, I've got the rest of the bar at my disposal should the need arise.

I know it may seem rather un-Benedictine what I am about to do.
The guidance of St. Benedict calls us to stabilitas or "stability." In a nutshell, what that guidance means is to not make rash decisions.

I'm going to justify my lack of stabilitas by saying that the entire staff at SJU has been asleep at the wheel for a few years now.
When the going gets tough, let's just put out another press release about how Ralph F****** Nader thinks John Gagliardi is a swell guy.

There is no fire in the belly of anyone in the athletic department nowadays.
Aside from the track & field squad winning a conference championship and the golf team capturing a few national championships, we are in coast mode, blissfully content with reading our own press releases to give us a warm and fuzzy feeling in our tummies.

The key to all of this is that this has been developing for years, and why my calling for some heads to roll is not something in violation of stabilitas.

Well, not too surprising to those of us who saw last week's game. This SJU team will probably have a loosing record this year. But next year is a new year, right? Right? could it be a four year rebuilding process? Starting with next year's freshman class? Really gotta wonder how things went so far off track-coaches complacent??
But in the end, UWW or Mount will win it all-so harm.

Why is UST throwing up 49-0?

Why is UST throwing up 49-0?

This is a statement game for UST.
This is letting out 12 years of frustration and embarrassment.

Well, kinda bush league, then.
Some coaches win with class, some don't.

Who gives a ****?  Maybe it will be a wake-up call.  Might as well put 100 on the board now.  I hope they preserve the goose egg.

[sju56321]

Just commenting-doesn't mean SJU is a bad team-but maybe the lesson is learned at 49-0? But 63-0 is a lesson too.

You think Gags has never thrown up 49 on UST? Sleep nights! If you need prrof, go back and take a look at the game film from '93. What goes around comes around. It doesn't taste so good now, does it? This has been A LONG TIME coming.

Yes but Caruso was practically in diapers on '93. 

Funniest thing today...in the first quarter Steve Fritz is standing behind me and I yell out, "We want Greg Morse at quarterback."  I turn around and he had a huge smirk on his face.
Priceless.

[sju56321]

What a jerk! I never said 49 was a problem. I said throwing up 49 is the problem.
Were these kids on the team a long time ago-no. Sportsmanship has no time boundaries. You just show your ignorance-which is not unexpected!

[SagatagSam]

It's going to take 85 or 90 points from the Toms for a light to go on in anyone's head in the SJU athletic department.

Let's just put out another press release telling everyone John is a legend and pretend this never happened.

Talk about bush league...how about the hecklers directly behind the SJU bench.  I'm told that the one leading the jeering was none other than Ben Wartman.
I've got plenty of photographic evidence...which I will share soon...this guy was acting like a grade A a$$hole...probably the worst behavior I've ever witnessed. 
Bud Grant used to tell his players "Act like you've been there before."  I guess Coach Caruso doesn't teach and instill that in his players. 
And yes SJU is a very bad team.  I've been saying it for weeks.  Slow, small and not athletic.

Seriously? Come on. I guess you've got to find something to piss & moan about other than your teams play, huh? Cue the ticket price complaints or the lack of attendance now. Spare me.

Photographic evidence of heckling?  are you taking polaroids?  how about video or audio?  he might as well be telling the Johnnies to not give up.

Now, now, I know you're upset, but no need for name calling. That's exactly what I'm saying, Gags has thrown the ball up 49 on St. Thomas. Film from '93 would prove it. Quit crying now.
