SLU hates St. Bonaventure
I quit.
I know the A-10 is unpredictable, but the SLU-St. Bonaventure game on Saturday should have been the most predictable game of the weekend. (Though, as I think I warned in an earlier post, SLU needed to take care…

For those of you who might have been listening to the Fordham radio broadcast — and I’m pretty sure there’s a fairly small overlap, if any, between people who read this blog and people who were listening to WFUV 90.7…
I don’t know if UMass’ loss to Fordham on Thursday night was good or bad for SLU, which plays at Amherst on Sunday. Are they a beaten team that has lost five of its past seven, or an angry team…

PHILADELPHIA-ATLANTA-ST. LOUIS — I’m working my way home from Philly as I write and compile this, so this will have a touch of Americana to it.
