Last season I could only bring myself to attend a couple of games and didn’t use my season tickets because I could not even give them away. Not sure if we will have an immediate Jon Poppe turnaround, largely because football had many of the pieces in place and we have a significant talent deficit in MBB, but at least we should be able to put a team on the floor capable of playing defense and not giving up an average of 90 PPG in IL play.

As I asked before, any relation to Carl?

They're both from Pennsylvania and of Scandinavian/Norwegian ancestry; and if Kevin can have one-half the steadying impact on the basketball program that Carl did, upon the University community in the aftermath of the student riots of 1968, he'll be making you quite proud.

Thank you, big V. I just couldn't help myself with that name!

I hope and pray for a similar effect on both the team, and by extension, the institution, in these troubled times.
