Thankful for @HoyaOptimist33 for having me on. All encompassing discussion on Georgetown

UCONN WOMEN’S PREVIEW- Is this team looking like the dominating 2025 champions or the 2026 group that South Carolina humbled? thebigbigeastblog.wordpress.…
ST. JOHN’S PREVIEW- Rick Pitino is doing it “his way” this season. Is it a path to NCAA glory? @CollHoopsChat thebigbigeastblog.wordpress.…
Here’s a tweet from “exhibitions mean zero” when his team won last week

St. John's hangs 87 on No. 7 Texas at MSG and Johnnies Twitter is already printing Final Four shirts.
Adorable. Exhibitions count for exactly zero banners.
Settle it: who wins the Big East regular season?
UConn or St. John's. Go. 🏀 #UConn
Pour one out for the sad sack wimp @ProFootballTalk who cried in fear that his anarchistic friends in Paris were a reason to move this game
Nina Tonji performs the national anthem of France live from @StadeFrance 🇫🇷 @NFLFrance
PITvsNO on NFL Network
Stream on @NFLPlus
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The video depicts a modified performance, not France's official national anthem; Nina Tonji changed "Qu’un sang impur" to "Qu’un sang uni" in La Marseillaise.

I’ll throw one more layer on this. Willard’s “boss”, Villanova AD Eric Roedl worked at…..Temple about 15 years ago so one wonders if the AD has received a few angry messages from people he knows from his days with the Owls

A certain Big East rival needs to get in on this
NEWS: Villanova has offered 2028 5 ⭐️ Xavier Skipworth, per his IG
Skipworth is a 6-6 SG from Potomac, MD, but plays his high school ball in Florida, with Montverde.
He is the #17 overall player in the 2028 class, and #3 SG.
Skipworth holds offers from Michigan, Indiana, Maryland, and Purdue, among others.
@xavierskipworth
Smarter people than Jon have tried to figure out how, particularly in a limited space where none of the powers that be are going to tear down academic buildings to make space
Georgetown needs an on-campus facility similar to what Villanova has with Finneran Pavilion.
