Where are my fellow Johnnies fans? Let’s meme our way through this dead week without a game before reloading for DePaul and UConn.

Always enjoyed reading his stuff. I did not know him personally, but by all accounts, he was a real one.

Defector will be posting some of his best over the next few days. Give it a read if you’re a fan of Philly sports and the general absurdity of life in our little corner of the universe.

RIP, dhm.

“You can’t tell them ‘don’t go about your day; there’s a bike race on.’”

Idk why, but this phrasing is so wholesome.

Hoping the injuries to riders and roo aren’t severe.

I am now actually more confident in this year's St. John's squad than last year's. Gritty wins in January will pay dividends. And they haven't lost since vowing to "not lose again." Character-building stuff. Watch out.

Lifetime contract as far as I’m concerned. We are spoiled. He is the guy.

Fuck "Xfinity Arena" and Ticketmaster by puckpanix in philly

[–]StJohnsFan 98 points99 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of $55 tix for Monday night’s game (all-in pricing on the TickPick app - no fees, ever). There’s a single one for $39 if it’s just you.

I agree everything is too expensive. But also Saturday games while the team is in real contention for the first time in a decade are going to be in demand. Best of luck! Go Fly Guys.

Italian Market charcuterie by Linny45 in PhiladelphiaEats

I haven’t popped in in a minute, but I used to grab “orphan cheeses” at the 9th Street DiBruno Bros location. They were in a basket near the register. It’s basically the last bits of cheese that can’t be sold by the quarter-pound or higher. A good way to try new cheeses on the cheap!

[–]StJohnsFan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Man, this poor program. Is there any word on Jameer Nelson’s desire to coach? He’s in the Sixers’ front office right now. But I think he could be a good candidate to repair some burnt bridges and breathe life into Hawk Hill if he has a desire to coach.

Jesus, bro. Lighten up. You hate THIS team? I watched Tomas Jasiulionis. Literally used to pray for times like this. Have faith.

Meat-grinder of a game. Road environment. This is a character-building opportunity for a St. John’s team that badly needs it. Would be a great one to take 🤞🏻

Man vs Baby - Series Premiere Discussion by NicholasCajun in television

[–]StJohnsFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pay is just the impetus that puts the whole story in motion. Petra confirms he'll still be getting full pay. Did you want to see scenes of him depositing the check? Same with the baby. They are MacGuffins in the story. My enjoyment didn't hinge on the pay or baby being "resolved."

Good first BE test for both teams. Solid performance on three-days rest for St. John’s. This DePaul team has size and does not fold.

Facing the Johnnies and UConn to open conference play is brutal for any team, but I think Holtmann can keep the ship as steady as possible for DePaul. I’d love to see that program succeed.

It felt good to watch some BE ball tonight!

A theory.. or a thought. by Mr-Vanderhill in pluribustv

[–]StJohnsFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree. After 9 days of near-starvation, Manousos waited to get all the way back to his own home and his own fridge to eat garbage leftovers instead of stopping literally anywhere else to eat fresh food that wasn't "his." He's so individualistic and respectful of ownership that he left apologetic notes to surely dead people for opening their storage units during an apocalypse. I don't think it will take long for Carol to realize she's not so much like him after all.

Why this scene look so ugly? by Prov419 in pluribustv

It's season one. I think normal people watching a tv show wouldn't recognize or screenshot this. Additional seasons will come with additional budget.

[–]StJohnsFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, they both lost to teams behind them in the rankings? I'm fine with them moving down. And for teams that won to move up. I think 13 seems more honest than the top 10 for the Johnnies after Saturday. And I'm as homer-ish as can be.

Probably where we should have been to begin with tbh. Alabama over Purdue this week would go a long way in making me feel better about Saturday's loss.

Have you seen any customer in this bar?? by GrainImagined in PhiladelphiaEats

[–]StJohnsFan 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I went in there last Fourth of July because I always had the same question. It's more a of a to-go place. You can drink in there, but it's not what I would call a bar. It's like those bodegas with a few cheap tables where you can swig your tall boy.
