Seeing that neither of our teams are looking very good right now..
I'm inviting you all to board the Marist bandwagon. The Red Foxes are sitting at 10-3 right now. Conference play starts Tuesday.
Go Red Foxes!

I am mad that they did not hire Roger Reid and so I cannot join with you in your Marist love. It is a shame because they seem to have quite a good team this year.

I can understand you feeling that way.
As a Marist graduate and a Ute fan, I was torn on the no-hire of Reid. The guy is great X and O coach, but he was also a thorn in the side of Ute teams. Still, it would have been fun to see how his conservative political leanings would have been accepted on the campus with all those socialists in the administration and studentbody. They hated me 20 years ago and my understanding is they're even less tolerant of anyone to the right of left extemism.

I don't know whether Roger is conservative or not. I think that he is a moderate pro business guy. Seems pretty much apolitical to me, but I doubt that would have satisfied persons of the type you describe.

I don't think so. I never heard him say anything about that type of stuff and I have heard planty of people say stuff like that in his presence and there was no agreement.

From Espn.com...
MAAC: Marist Over the summer, everything that could go Marist's way did: graduations of key players across the conference (especially at league champion Iona), player defections (such as Siena's Kojo Mensah to Duquesne) and key coaching losses (Manhattan's Bobby Gonzalez to Seton Hall). The Red Foxes entered the season as the hands-down favorite, and nothing in their early 10-3 record diminishes that status. Marist's spark comes from a 6-2 senior point guard named Jared Jordan (19.4 ppg), who's rated by some outlets as the second-best point guard in the 2007 NBA draft and a potential second-round selection. When the team clicks, it's when he's out on the floor, and when he's not -- as in a 63-53 Dec. 19 loss at Wright State as Jordan sat nursing an ankle injury -- the Red Foxes look fogbound. And that's what the phalanx of scouts who follow him love: He makes the players around him better.

LOL...it doesn't matter if you don't think so. I've met Roger several times and have had several conversations with him that have nothing to do with basketball. He isn't just conservative. He's hardcore right wing.
