At least it looks like the road between the old fieldhouse and Wheeler will be removed and the two way entrance/exit will be on the city View side of the new field house. Bad enough having the building so close to a dorm, but would hate to have traffic diverted right under the dorm windows.

It looks like it may be expanding down the hill from the fieldhouse site and taking part of Wheeler beach!!! I wish they had a shot showing how far it will sit from Wheeler.

Whoa!
I don't recall RW not having the all white -do! (Maybe I'm getting old.) RW may have still gone to Pitino's hairdresser at that time.

NCAAM you must be joking again TT a better player than RP. While I loved TT and the way he played any talk of HC freshmen begins and ends with Perry, Potter and Vicens. Those three were freshmen in age only and were ready to play at a high level the minute they stepped on the court. Watching them play you never thought of them as freshmen because their games were so well developed. Potter and Vicens turned a 10 win team into a 20 win team as freshmen and Perry as a freshman averaged over 20 PPG until an injury derailed his season. While Potter, Vicens, and Perry may have been in a class by themselves, I would put Bobby Kelly's 78-79 freshman year up with them. He came in and started at point guard as a freshman 22 of 23 games, and averaged over 7 assists and 8.3 points a game sharing a back court with RP Jr. That was likely the best back court combination in HC history. There was a reason he transferred out to St. John's to be their point guard after we declined Big East.

Terrible interview but excellent tactics. Opening tip was a set play. Easy tap ahead by JF to Grandi I think with Butler breaking. 2/0 HC Maybe it is just me, but i love the Carmody interviews and his understatement.

Did I misinterpret bringbackcaro's post? It seemed like a set up in his hope that if we don't win the next two games on the road it will be because of terrible coaching. I'm probably reading too much into it.

Getting rid of the sword akin to getting rid of the Cross. And suddenly, one of the followers of Jesus grasped his sword and drew it; he struck the high priest's servant and cut off his ear. Jesus then said, 'Put your sword back, for all who draw the sword will die by the sword. Matthew 26:51-52

I have to say I was impressed by the letter and the way these folks are going about presenting their point of view. I think you will see continued pressure on the board to change the visual representation. The board decision left them wide open to this type of critique as they expressly disavowed any association with the historical crusades and pledged to give the old word a new meaning. Yes, it is a well written and mostly well thought out. But, I don't think these kids get the fact that a very small minority share their opinion. They are correct that there is not consensus, but this is about as close as it can get in the real world, but that the near consensus holds the opposing view I'm not sure this is the minority view among current students and recent graduates. I saw reference to a poll but can't find anything on it online. with more than 90 kids willing to put their name on the letter, there have to be a whole lot more who agree and probably an equal number who don't care that much. In any event, I think the real purpose of the letter is to keep the administration's feet to the fire on changing the visuals to remove the association with the historical crusades. I don't think it is an irrational fear among the authors of the letter that the school will just forget the whole thing and keep the current visuals.

Not necessarily a straw man argument. Remember not too long ago when Muslim students at Georgetown wanted crucifixes taken down on their DC campus? I must have missed the news about HC students complaining about the name of the college. To my knowledge, this has never happened and unless it has, they should not be criticized for positions they haven't taken.

I’m sure it’s been noted by others before, but these same students very likely have a problem with the name of the college as well. That seems like a real straw man argument. I don't believe these students have ever expressed any need for a name change. They seem bright enough to distinguish between the actual holy cross and the crusades. Pope John Paul II apologized for the excess of the crusades and there is general agreement that the crusades were not a high point in church history. That is why Fr. Boroughs and the BofTs are looking at ways to disassociate the term "Crusader" from the historical crusades.

Probably just my purple tinted glasses, but I thought the students represented their position well. Healthy disagreement about issues is what makes for academic rigor. You can't expect the students who were leading the charge for the name change to not be disappointed at the decision. To many current students, and even some alumni, the name evokes participants in the actual Crusades. The administration has stated that it wants to distance itself from that meaning of the term and in conjunction with such distancing will revisit the visual representation. I think these students and faculty are just keeping pressure on the administration to make the change in visual representation. Their shocking supposition that the BoTs may have given more weight to important donors than current students may be offensive to some; however, it is hard to imagine that loss of donor dollars did not enter into the decision making. I expect them to be disappointed. People who voiced their opinion on the topic were about 90 percent in favor of the Crusader. Support among the students was somewhat less (I believe I read 83 percent) but still a significant majority. If we were talking about abolishing slavery or getting the vote for women, I can see the moral imperative to fight on even though a vast majority opposes you. We are talking about a nickname here. I expect them to be disappointed but move on. I don't recall Walter Mondale wanting a recount I don't think I ever saw a student poll number. 83% would surprise me. I just googled it and couldn't find anything. I think you will be hearing from students and faculty until the school changes the visual representation. You really can't blame them for wanting to see some follow through on their issue.

Best win of the season so far. Great to see the kids and staff pick themselves up after tough beginning of the week. This was a character win.

With no KC (who is the team leader even when his offense is not working) has to be a real psychological blow to the team. Let’s hope they can work through it and have a respectable second half.

While some may disagree with the decision, I believe the students acquitted themselves well in their decision making and stated reasoning. Their press release was quite measured in laying out its rationale. I also think a lot of thought went into the newspaper's new name and that will help in the transition.

The organ scholarship has been in place for more than a decade. I believe it overlaps so that the freshman scholar can learn from the senior scholar, but I could be wrong about that part.
