Beat the Friars!

[Warrior of Law]

Let's get that winning streak started again (or at least another W). With home games vs. Butler and DePaul still to come, there is distinct hope that MU avoid finishing last in the league. Fire up the deflections and rebounding and MU can finish ahead of 3-4 teams. Which is another way of saying the bottom of the Big East is absolute trash.

Great ambitions!

I went to a Dominican HS-Fenwick-in the Chicago burb of Oak Park. Even though it was many decades ago, I remember the Dominicans well but not fondly. I would love to punch that creepy Dominican mascot but A) I would be punching a student, who would probably then beat the crap out of me and B) I'd wind up in the slammer.  I'll settle for a win over Providence, but considering what they did to St. Johns, Creighton and almost did to UCONN, it is a tall order.

I think there is benefit to finishing last in the league.
Last in the league would absolutely demand change.
7th or 8th place could allow for "we have seen some growth, let's just tweek it."

I'm not sure where 3,4 or 5 wins would land us in the standings,  but if that doesn't show or motivate Shaka to make changes, he's no longer the man for MU.

IMO, Shaka has seen the light, will change course and is our best option to restore the program.

It's too bad finishing last won't get us the first pick from the Portal. Of course, Shaka would trade it for the rights to a couple of zero star big man prospects who weren't offered by the low majors in their own region.

I'm one of Scoop's fossils, so '62-'66. Fenwick actually had a priest-Father Berrigan- whose title was Disciplinarian. One time when our entire class was kept after school for some infraction by a couple of guys, we sat there silently with Berrigan sternly glowering over us. I had a dentist appointment and, feeling kinda porky that day, raised my hand, told him about the appointment, and asked if he could just slap me around for a bit and then let me go. The class roared with laughter, and even Berrigan laughed. Then he let us go.

Just curious.....how has Shaka "seen" the light?

Will never let go of the cross town rivalry though.
