Sorry. I am moving on from witty lacrosse bashing banter in favor of thinking back to the merits of curling.

you're right. i'll leave the Loyola LAX bashing to the likes of Hobart and Siena.
Serious question(s) tho: The 16 seed? Really? The MAAC auto bid (Canisuis) gets more respect?

there is no seeds after the first 8. the unseeded teams are placed due to travel considerations

Man... talking trash against your own school. Man.
Why don't just you just ignore their cash calls like a normal alum?

that seems like a pretty lousy structure for a 16 team tournament.
what good is finishing 1st if geography dictates your first round opponent?

my donations are specifically earmarked for the men's basketball team. someone has to pay to remove the smell of the lax team from the hand-me-down locker room.
wish us luck.

If Loyola comes within single digits of Duke maybe we can consider it a moral victory and they'll have a congratulatory page on the website?

Did anyone else get an email survey about this? Really funny. Kudos for them for at least asking opinions, but I wonder if they are going to publicly release the results along with the decision.

Loyola University?

In response to Lou
I just finished my survey a couple of minutes ago. Sending me a survey is fairly pointless - I was answering the questions trying to favor "college" over "university" wherever possible.
Do you think the administration has a complex about Providence, Villanova, and Fairfield? No less than, what, five questions referenced those three schools by name?
Perhaps the letter writing and withheld contributions have made Father Linnane take a step back from what I perceived as being a fait accompli...

Lou, what did you think about the questions about what would make you choose "School A" over "School B?"
I felt very old - Do college students really want couches in the classrooms? I can think of two things Loyola students would use couches for, neither of which are in-depth classroom discussions. What's wrong with a classroom that, I don't know, looks like a classroom?
I also liked the suggestion that "helicopter parents" err, parents, could meet with advisors. I can't even get my head around that one...

Yeah that was really something. I can see why they need our $$$ if they are going to Rooms to Go for every classroom. I don't think this is unique to Loyola, but it appears the marketing department is taking over. Schools want to have an image to attract potential customers, um, students and parents, and do what they can to promote that image.
I guess it is old fashion to think that providing a good education speaks for itself.
I wanted to ask if they were planning a special fundraising drive to pay for the new University letterhead.

[boo hoo] if you change the name of the school [sigh] from college to university. [sob] i won't send my pledge to the Evergreen Fund. [whimper]
you'd think people would understand what a name change can do for you. Look at Jim McManus!
Let's take off our bibs and burbing towels and follow the example of our most famous alumni.

So "college" sounds too ethnic?
Seems if we were following McManus's example, it would be the Loyola part we were changing.

Somehow, I am reminded of the Simpsons episode where Homer changed his name to "Max Power."

Are you suggesting Loyola change its name to "Handsome B. Wonderful" or "Hercules Rockefeller" ?

whatever it takes.
Mr Plow would also be an upgrade.
I also didn't realize Jim McKay was really Puerto Rican. Very interesting.
