Being from the D.C. area, I was a Georgetown fan in those days, but who didn't love Louie? 99 is a great run for an awesome coach.

Forgot all about PJ. Seaton Hall at that time maybe?
Oh where have you gone Danny Callandrillo…..

Yup - coached the Hall from 1982-1994.

The Big East had a murderer's row of coaches in the '80s. Look at this list:
Looie
Boeheim
John Thompson
P.J.
Gary Williams
Rollie
Calhoun
Pitino
I don't think all overlapped (Gary breaks the link, I think), but most of them did for years.
There's a good 30 For 30 about the Big East that's worth checking out called Requiem For The Big East. It was done maybe a dozen years ago (Thompson was still alive), but Carnesecca is featured prominently in it.

PJ took Seton Hall to the Championship
Game.

Against Michigan. Lots of folks (including, I'm sure, P.J.) thought Seton Hall got jobbed with a phantom foul call at the end.

Rumeal Robinson’s shining moment

I was a junior that year at Seton Hall. It was such a great day on campus with of course a heartbreak at the end. It was a phantom call that won it for Michigan but they were a stacked team.
Mookie Gizzy
Footballguy
Seton Hall fans never mention the fact that they were up 3 with a minute and a half left and shooting free throws. The kid missed the front end, and they didn’t score again
Mookie Gizzy
Footballguy
That they lost because of a bad call. One player made a play one didn’t. Games aren’t always won/ lost just because of the last thing that happened

RIP Art Cashin - https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/02/art...hange-fixture-for-decades-dies-at-age-83.html
For stock jocks, Art Cashin was THE MAN. I'm sure he would have made a fine FBG too.
Art Cashin, UBS’ director of floor operations at the New York Stock Exchange and a man The Washington Post called “Wall Street’s version of Walter Cronkite,” has died. He was 83 and had been a regular on CNBC for more than 25 years.
In the intensely competitive and often vicious world of stock market commentary, Cashin was that rarest of creatures: a man respected by all, bulls and bears, liberals and conservatives alike. He seemed to have almost no enemies.
He was a great drinker and raconteur, a teller of stories.
For decades, he assembled a group of like-minded friends every day after trading halted, first at the bar at the NYSE luncheon club, then across the street at Bobby Van’s Steakhouse, where the group came to be known as the “Friends of Fermentation.” His drink was Dewar’s, always on the rocks.
Cashin’s success was attributable to a combination of charm, wit, intelligence, and a stubborn insistence on refusing to adopt many of the conveniences of the modern world. He was a link to an NYSE tradition. Every year, on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, he led the singing of the 1905 song “Wait ’Till the Sun Shines, Nellie.”

So was he the guy that called for the Duke's to have to pay up at the day's end and bankrupted them?

His daily newsletter "Cashin Comments" were a great read to this market neophyte. The ability to explain the complex into concepts a layman can understand with humor and history that brings a reader back is such a gift. Have a Dewars on the rocks for the man.

Do you remember when Chris Farley did the espn commercials? He did Laettner v. Kentucky buzzer beater, and Rumeal Robinson free throws. So good.

Seems like it may be fake news. Rickey probably would have reported it himself if true.

Bill Wennington called my house once. My roommate at the time somehow knew him, and said he’d be calling with the Bulls in town. I of course thought he was full of ****. And then Bill called, and we ended up hanging out with him, Longley, Kukoc, Rodman that night at the team hotel.
Kukoc and I drank Jagermeister and smoked stogies until like 3:30 in the morning. He did not have a good game against the Kings the next night.

One of the very best. The odd combination of left-handed throwing and right-handed hitting. The greatest “prototypical” lead off hitter ever. RIP Rickey.

I had something that they called pneumonia (are there different kinds?) in my 20’s and that was the sickest I have ever been.
I distinctly remember sweating so bad that there was an outline of my full body in the sheets.

Ricky was such a force. Don’t know if he’d ever get caught stealing now with the bigger bases etc. So many lead off homers. Better not walk him. Better not throw a fastball down the middle.

Ricky die? Ricky nooooo. Loved how he talked about himself in third party. Ricky steal bases. Ricky loves to run. I remember Vince Coleman speed guys. Then you had a guy with the speed and the power. Stud
