Cardinal Robert Prevost was just elected as the first American pope in history. And perhaps even more notably, he's also a Villanova alum.
Could this be a game-changer for the Big East?
SEC. It just means more.
ACC. ACComplish Greatness.
Big Ten. Dream Big.
Big East. Basketball is our religion. ;D
Very cool on many factors. May God bless Pope Leo XIV.
He also grew up in Dolton, Il. (a South suburb of Chicago) and was part of St. Mary of the Assumption Parish.

Just widens the gap between Creighton and Marquette, imo
Did they get him in the portal? That's the only way you get someone who's any good.

Doubt it. He has his Doctorate from the Vatican, and lived in Peru as long as he lived in US., and is a citizen pf Peru, also. Could be a game changer for the Peruvian soccer team.
Villanova alum makes Pope. -- Hang a banner!
Was passing by Vatican when smoke came. Got as close as entrance. Leaving area was more problematic. Felt like we were in pamplona running w bulls
Cubs and Bears fan, as well. Excellent choice.
Unfortunately, the Bulls are beyond saving.
I'd like it better if he was true to his roots and a Sox fan, but we get dissed again..

If he was a Sox fan, he would have taken the name of Jude-patron saint of hopeless cases.
Pope Leo for Leo Durocher.

His brother says White Sox!
With this, it is written in the heavens that the Knicks will sweep the Celtics.
Jay Bee (NSB)?

Cardinals fans are too arrogant to ever rise to becoming the Pope

Hangin at the AL:
Forum / Message board for all things related Marquette Basketball - recruiting, coaching, game strategy, etc.
Yet the Women's thread is in the Superbar. At least they can celebrate the vixen of the game over a drink.
Superbar:
What happens at the Superbar, stays at the Superbar. This is the place to talk about anything non-bball related, like jobs, technology, food & drink on campus, naked beer slide strategy, recent events, etc.
I guess women's basketball must be a video/computer game.
Who knows. Maybe Pope Leo will be our next men's basketball coach.

New papal motto....
The audacity of 'ope'.
Pitino is allegedly Catholic and has coached at several Catholic universities. Did he have anything to say about who gets the Pope gig?

No, he wasn't at the Papal Conclave.

No. He hasn't been a Cardinal for awhile now.
The new Pope was chosen using the Cardinal Way.

I doubt it. He would have released the smoke prematurely.

And yet, the distance between Louisville and Marquette is getting bigger
Villanova should immediately change their team name to the Villanova Leos. I am 100 percent serious.

He already helped Pope get a gig.
