Great visit to Towson university on Mon, an R3 institution that emphasizes the faculty is geared towards teaching over research. Boasting a diverse pop.where a majority are SoC, a 91% retention rate from 1st yr to 2nd proves the student mentorship program (SAGE) works! TI loves to say “Yes!”

Huh, They really don’t understand he is truly the epitome of Lex Luther, don’t they? This is like when they tried to put a light saber in his hand claiming he was fighting the Empire… but the light saber was red.

My least favorite thing to have to digest right now?
The two week TACO.

MAGA & Republican having their own “Tan Suit” moment. #FullCircle

The leagues that haven’t changed at all, or very much: Ivy, WCC, MAC, SWAC. /14

The defunct Southwest Conference (SWC), Xavier played in the “Midwestern City Conference” & when being an “Independent” was ok: /13

The old “PAC-10” which is basically the old WAC (essentially Mountain West): /12

I thought I should share the “power” conferences from this time - ACC, B1G, Big 8, & SEC: /11

The Atlantic 10 was a completely different league! /10

Louisville played in the no defunct “Metro.” Look at all the teams now in major conferences! /9

Here are the other ECAC “Metro” and “North” conferences: /8

This is the ECAC South & the old Sun Belt - which became the Colonial Athletic Association which is now known as the “Coastal” Athletic Association with completely different teams: /7

Now the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC): /6

St. John’s capturing first title in nearly 40 years was another reminder. With that in mind: Let’s take a look at HOW different college basketball conferences looked 40 years ago. (thanks to sports-reference.com for the data!)
First: the Big East: /5

And this is the game your employer decides to put on national tv? 🤣🤣🤣 #GPgotitwrong

Opening night of Nell Gwynn @ Rider University - my eldest child’s main stage debut! Break a leg Bubba!

Wonderful walk in Upstate NY visiting my cousin for the Thanksgiving holiday!

This will remain my head gear as motivation and inspiration for the next four years.
