Just thinking about....


1. DePaul fires basketball coach Jerry Wainwright. By all indications, Wainwright is a nice guy and he has had coaching success at previous stops; however, DePaul has been awful especially in Big East play (0-16 last year and 0-3 thus far this season). But why fire him now? Why not fire him after last season when the Blue Demons were 9-24? I have to agree with PG that DePaul's mistake was not in hiring Wainwright but in joining the Big East rather than the Atlantic 10 or even Conference USA! Yeah, the Big East wanted the Chicago media market, but DePaul hardly ever sell out it's far from campus arena even for games against Georgetown or UConn. I know that the '79 Final Four team and the dominant teams of the early '80s (at least regular season) are a distant memory (I still remember Al McGuire doing DePaul games on NBC ), but the administration must take the blame for the overall drop in this program.
2. Kurt Warner! If there is still anyone out there who still thinks that Warner is not a Hall of Famer, please explain yourself.
3. Bernie Kosar's bankruptcy case was just converted to a chapter 7 case. Gee. wondering how Lenny Dkystra's bankruptcy case is rolling?
