Syd has had a tough last couple games, going 2-9 and 2-11 overall, and 0-6 from 3 in both. Hopefully she can snap out of that little funk.

A chance to see her on TV comes up on Saturday at 1 PM on CBS, when the visit the Liberty.

I love this response tagging in Bamford. Uh, dude, Ryan has been pretending his account doesn't work for well over a year. He's not gonna reengage on something like this.

I see the 11/25 game @ Northeastern is currently missing from the Athletics schedule page.


You're astute as always.

Looks like it's not an oversight. Look at the Huskies' schedule. 11/25 says at Wisconsin, and the Badgers' slate has the same. I wonder what happened.

We announced our non-conf ...

Eldon PM'd me and reiterated that he's done. I assume he means posting here and saying fuck it to his UM fandom in general. Can't say I blame him.

Boston College says men’s basketball coach Luke Murray had no role in firing of radio announcers
https://www.boston.com/sports/local-new ... nnouncers/

The Mass Mutual Center just got $93M for arena upgrades from the state, including an on-site kitchen. Meanwhile Bamford can't raise capital to do any meaningful improvements to McGuirk and we have hot food being trucked in from across campus to an aging Mullins Center. How great would it be to get ...

Someone on the hellscape dug up a post where one of the radio guys (not Josh) was questioning, before the hire was announced, if Luke was the right choice.
