He has or had lung cancer and does the pope typically attend sporting events? Not that I even care to look it up.

Past popes have attended sporting events but like you said, this one has lung cancer

Thanks for nothing, Leo.

These Nova guards are going to have to play a lot better.  They couldnt create anything on offense.  Cant believe they let Acaden Lewis leave.

Another reminder to be thankful Nigel and Stevens are still here.

Didn't let him leave. from what I recall the nova board said he was offered something like 1.5 mill or so. If a school like Miami comes in with a ludicrous offer not much nova can do.

Wonder if the Pope donates as much to Nova as Willie does to Marquette

You know better than the pope?  Maybe the world should listen to the pope instead of the genocidal maniacs currently causing chaos in the world.

Also, the pope isn't watching Sling Blade but would also tell you that violence is never the answer.

The Pope absolutely despised Doyle who was a monster.  Now, all of a sudden, you're pro Catholic Church?

The Pope doesn't despise anyone.  That's definitely not the message of the Bible.  Your knowledge of theology is lacking.

Well then Nova is screwed long term if they cant match the money for a player of Lewis' caliber, like we were able to do with Nigel.

Oh boy 

True, but...umm,considering the poster, no surprise.

So less than a MM gave Sheek along with a promised starting spot? lol

They're just talking about this on their 247 page today. they offered 1.5 -2ish.
Miami came back with more. his people came to nova and asked for 3 mill and nova said no and he ended up signing w Miami for less than nova's original offer. That's just what their posters are saying so who knows. They also say Nova could have spent more but opted against it. Their posters are divided on that decision.

He definitely got more money to go to Miami.  They have deep reserves in the NIL game.  Like Marquette with Sheek, Nova made a choice with Lewis that he wasn't worth what he'd get elsewhere.

Pure nova board conjecture ik bruh

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

I'm surprised the pope isn't there. 

There's an official Vatican video out there of pre-game discussion.  He said the Pope doesn't take sides but Robert Prevost has an obvious favorite.

[MU82]

Stop being dopey, everyone. Lewis left Nova because of 18. Period.

Coach Murphy says with regard to playing Pitcher Woodruff

We have responsibilities to the 20 something other guys in locker room, the organization, the city and whoever else.

I hope Shaka has the same attitude toward playing certain players. I believe in Shaka and believe Shaka does.

Was this complimentary of the Brewers? That's the one thing they got wrong. Should have left Chad Patrick on, not sure Woodruff could pitch back to back days when they needed someone late in G4.

Perhaps the Pope inspired Villanova basketball to take a vow of poverty.

Nice!

Reminds me of an Al quote from Miracles on Hardwood regarding his salary- "The Jesuits take a vow of poverty. and they expect you to keep it."

According to FanDuel, the Michigan State team we just beat has the sixth best national title odds.
