That's me! Mostly very pessimistic but occasionally overly optimistic! This team has a chance to do what we have dreamed of since the disappointing ending in 1980! This doesn't come around too often, about once a generation. On a side note I would love this team to get a feature game in the Garden. If there ever was a year to do it, this year is the time. Maybe with an ESPN backing, Gaels can play a game there against a BCS team and ESPN could cover it. I do think one of Iona Fairfield matches will get on ESPN2 this year as well, and Iona has a great chance for an ESPN bracket buster home game Now would be a great time to get St Johns at the Garden,early in the season of course

Couple things:
1. Consider me SHOCKED if the MAAC ESPN2 game this year is NOT Iona at Fairfield.
2. I don't think we can be in the Holiday Festival due to Puerto Rico. They're at different times, but there are rules against that stuff.
3. St Johns will NEVER, NEVER, NEVER play us while we're this strong.
4. I do love the Garden thing and agree we should be getting a game there.
5. We're a virtual lock to get a TV home game for BracketBuster. If we're as good as we're hoping, it could even be the premiere game.

espn.go.com/blog/collegebasketballnation/post/_/id/31739/lamont-jones-goes-from-zona-to-ionaI fully agree with earlier comments by joebird and Guy about the value that MoMo will bring due to his experience with winning the big games - something that, despite our vast improvements over the past several years, our team has yet to be able to master. Prior to this we would have been the MAAC favorite coming into the season. Now, especially if MoMo gains his waiver, what once was a target on our backs has now become A MASSIVE BULLSEYE ON OUR BACKS. It will be an interesting test of the characters of coaches and players alike as to how we handle the pressures of being the "big dog" will bring.
