Saint Peter's does it again!
They're going to the final 8 after beating Purdue 67 to 64. Way to go! No other 15 seed team has ever done that in the history of the NCAA tournament.

Congrats to them... especially when they took out Kentucky....

Here's a funny coincidence . Today March 25th is national Peacock Day and Saint Peter's mascot is the Peacocks.

I confess that because of their political BLM stance and their street style of play with some very blatant fouls I was hoping they would lose. Saint Peters is a Jesuit school and the Jesuits have pledged 100 million in reparations for the descendants of the people their distant ancestors enslaved. I guess their BLM support shouldn't surprise anyone but I don't think it should be on display at an athletic event. Just my opinion and yours may vary. Bob

Well I don't normally watch much of any sports but when you're stuck in the house wearing a heart monitor waiting to find out why you're like a drunk monkey when you stand up and walk there's not much else to do. So I really don't care what their political views are I'm just watching to past the time until I either get better or kick the bucket. And the way I feel to today, given the option, I'd go with the bucket kicking thing.

Smitty, I hope you get better and recover your health. My post was in no way condemning watching the game since I watched it also. It was more my frustration in political and half baked social issues encroaching on what should be a purely athletic event. This country has become so overwhelmed with this stuff, I lament the fact that it is hard to escape being exposed to it.
Stay strong and and i hope you get your health issues worked out. Bob

Will the $100,000,000 be administered by BLM? I would call this "virtue signaling" on the part of St. Peter's. Since blm has been stripped of their charitable status in many states (even commiefornia, I think) it would be troublesome finding an avenue to distribute any "reparations". I could make a similar pledge on the condition that no funds would be disbursed until there was a mechanism in place that I found satisfactory.
EDIT: This might be what's referred to as "hijacking a thread". OOPS!

I agree BobJudy. This supposed to be a basketball game not a political statement.

Well their run came to a screeching halt this afternoon. NC put a whoopin' on'em. It was a good run anyway.
