Yes there was! West 7th was closed off for a St. Patrick's day block party. I exited the game to hordes of folks dressed in green, drinking and dancing. In my elation I imagined it was a party for the Hornets. Pretty cool scene.

Some people are just too into it, and they hang on too long, and their legacy gets tarnished. I have always admired Steve Martin for doing this. (Listen up you whipper snappers - heh heh.) In the late 70's/early 80's Martin was the king of stand up comedy, selling out arenas across the country. Then he walked away from it all; not wanting to hang on until he was working in front of half full arenas. Of course, he didn't have to deal with the parents of 15 players who weren't getting enough playing time and another 12 players he cut entirely.

One good thing about this is that it gives someone younger a chance to run an elite program. (Looking at you Mike Grant.)

Who said he was going out on his own terms…?

Huh? St Paddy's Day was celebrated a week early that year?

Don't think it was an official St. Paddy's Day event, but more of a collaborative/promotional thing between some of the bars and restaurants in the area.

Any insight to back up this statement? What EP has done this season has been nothing shy of a miracle as they sit atop of their conference yet again and could very well squeeze into the tourney. There's a lot of buzz around as to who's up next, but NOBODY saw this coming.

Been a long run. Who’s up next?

The YHH pod that dropped today sheds light on the situation.

What a disaster of a situation after 29 years. Dunno what happened to justify those suspensions, but sounds like more of the same over and over again. What I also thought was interesting after that podcast was the mention of Chan and Tony refusing to get into it...

No implications of Chan in any of this...there's some backstory on Lee there, but really not relevant to the present situation. Would've been a weird rabbit hole to go down and we cut it off to stay on track, not because there are any juicy details hiding there.

What happened was pretty reprehensible and if the podcast knew the whole story, the crocodile tears would seem misplaced IMO. I get that people overlook others being terrible humans if they're winning games but accountability and karma will come knocking eventually.

Sounds like the Proctor football situation all over again (just guessing)….
