join in. Sad. We're not Mizzou, Iowa, Wake Forest Vandy, Iowa State, Louisville, or any number of programs that either have black as a school color or pretend it is because Nike, Under Armor or Addias sees a way to make a buck. Our school colors are what they are because they are the colors of OUR LADY. I love our team and our program, but this decision sucks.

        That’s right, I sometimes forget he’s gone. [NT] - murph78 - 1:57pm 12/18/24
        In fairness...he did leave some sharks with frickin' laser beams in St. Mary's & St. Joseph's lakes. [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 2:03pm 12/18/24
