I could not care less how you were raised, but I assume and hope you were raised the right way. My comment was quite simple, I would not call a woman an old lady without knowing who the person is.

Nice to see Loyola win.  I'm curios if Larranga will blame fatigue like he did when we whipped him in the sweet 16 game, glad to see that idiot go down.

[MU82]

Yet another coach who has proven over his long, storied career that he is vastly superior to Wojo.

How the hell did Marquette end up with the very worst coach in all of college basketball?

Oh, woe is us.

Huh? Who said Wojo was the worst coach in basketball?

[MU82]

I meant basketball history.

Management regrets the error.

To be fair, he's earned it lately

Normally like the guy. Strange persona turn the last week or so

My nephew will be a freshman at Loyola in September (he was rejected by Marquette which is where he really wanted to go). Anyway he and a bunch of his boys came to my house this afternoon to watch he game. They were going nuts when that shot fell. I was really happy for him because most people on the East coast hear Loyola and think Baltimore.

I am sure sister Jean would fully cop to being an old lady.  She is probably pretty proud of it. 

I can't believe with all the disrespect towards females that happens on this board that someone is giving Boxer crap about the term "old lady".  Sure there might be nicer terms to use, but I doubt that "old lady" is offensive to anyone over 70.

Speaking of which, there is a nice artlcle about her on Deadspin.  Check out the headline:

That is a high level coached team.

Strong correlation between high level coached team and experience of team / youth, do you not agree?

So bygones be bygones? Or?

Thank you

Larranaga's reactions, especially when replayed in slomo, were priceless!

I get real leery about transfers from mid-majors when they started at high majors and did terrible. Custer has come a long way from his days at Iowa State where he was an afterthought. He certainly passes the eye test now. Would be curious to see how he would handle a higher level of competition every day.

For the record, I hope I have not disrespected women on here and if I did/do feel free to bring to my attention. In addition, after reading TAMU's response to my early post, sorry if I misunderstood your post.

I would very much welcome you pointing out where I have disrespected women on this board. If you want to bash me, feel free, but please show me my disrespect to women. My post regarding the "old lady" was sincere. I challenge you to find one person that knows me to say otherwise. You may me dislike me, but I would very much appreciate you refraining from talking atop your high horse in regards to me and my character.

If I'm reading her post correctly, it's not that you have disrespected women. It's that others have disrespected women on this board with terms and posts much worse than "old lady" but no one has called them out.

Well, there was this from two days earlier, which I already did point out to you, and you brushed off:

If you can have seven close friends/family members join you for an NIT game at the girls gym on two day notice, you must be a very, very nice woman. Have to admit, I am jealous.

But basically, what TAMU said.

Look, I don't offend easily. I might point out smaller "infractions"(like the above) for educational purposes, but I save my anger for the truly demeaning, destructive stuff. In the scheme of things, "old lady" is pretty benign.  I am more than 40 years younger than Sister Jean, and I don't even get offended by being called that (although I may jokingly feign outrage on occasion).

I pick my battles, and so should you.  That's all I am saying.

After MU, I also got a degree from Loyola.  While in school and a few years after, I went to a couple of games (late 80's).

Tuesday, someone in my office who knows that I went to LU asked if I was excited about Loyola.  While I have enjoyed following Loyola's success and the Sr. Jean stories over the past several weeks, I hadn't been thinking of LU as "my team" at all.  I haven't been to a Loyola game in more than 25 years.

But I sure felt like being a band-wagon jumper while watching the ending yesterday. 

So, go Nova, Rambers, Big East and Gonzaga (in that order).

As I stated in the 20-7 thread, I had a bad hair day yesterday and apologize. That said, I might be overly sensitive on discussions about older people. Over the years I have taken great pride and trying to help and be kind to the the elderly. I truly believe that they often are the forgotten folks in society and I feel that is a shame. I realize he did not mean anything, just thought the wording was not the right way of inquiring about her.

Again, I take responsibility for going off the rails a bit yesterday. Possibly a few cocktails watching the games with my son added fuel to the fire.

I figured.

We're good.   

[GoldenWarrior11]

Can we finally kick out DePaul and replace them with Loyola?  Loyola is at least serious about men's basketball.

[shoothoops]

Porter Moser has such a positive energy. He is one of the good guys. He was one of Majerus' first hires. (Tony Barone connection) Moser did the bulk of Rick's recruiting. If you get the chance, watch the play drawn up for Loyola to tie game late on the Custer 3. It has Rick written all over it. Porter has done a nice job of coaching on and off of the floor.

As someone who has perpetually bad hair, this offends me.
