Fr. Kelly is a wonderful man. We're lucky to have him associated with the team.

The Today show just ran a bit on Xavier's Sister Rose this morning too...

Somewhere I heard that this is Fr. Kelly's last season. I love the way he stands, with a ramrod straight back, with 91 years on it. A wonderful man.

I hope not as MU should have recognized him on Senior Night. I have seen refs, opposing coaches, announcers like Raf talking to him. In Maui, Pat Driscoll was having a beer with him. If he isn't at the ProAm, you will see him at The Chicago Coaches Luncheon. A "legend" if there ever was and he should be in the M Club Hall of Fame.

Very good man, hope it isn't his last year. Watched videos of him baptizing my son last month....always will be part of our family's life.
