Shows what even a smidgen of marketing prowess can do... So you guys think La Salle should have been putting out tee shirts with a 20th & Olney street sign on them? I guess I'm missing something. It's a nice shirt but you can find lots of nice La Salle apparel now. For years, I complained about the lack of available La Salle apparel, but there really is nothing to complain about now, except maybe the limited inventory at the campus store.

Is the question "why would anyone want La Salle apparel that isn't simply the university name on a navy, gray or maybe gold shirt"?

I think people are just saying that it's a cool design and would've been nice if La Salle had put something similar out.
This is not a major issue of mine, like you said there's a ton more La Salle stuff than there used to be. But most of it is not unique, it's plug and play stuff that goes to every school with our logo and colors. That's the nature of the beast for the most part everywhere, so not that big a deal. But would be cool to have something with a 20th and Olney on it, not just because of the streets involved but the unique nature of it, and most schools that aren't right within a city don't even have cross-streets like that.

Exactly. You and I lived through the "Explorer Entourage" mess of yellow t-shirts with "VICTORY!" on the back. Because La Salle should want to model their fanbase off the fictional loser on a show popular in the mid-00s. I thought it was a stupid idea then, and I liked that show.

The school could do a lot to market "20th and Olney" and run with it. With as many schools as there are in philly and being lumped into the Big 5 the one thing that is ours is "20th and Olney"

Looking for LaSalle stuff, I would try the Rallyhouse. Several stores in the area.

Looking for LaSalle stuff, I would try the Rallyhouse. Several stores in the area. Check out Boscov's too. I got a real nice La Salle golf shirt and gym shorts a few weeks ago for a great price. The athletic logo and script were actually embroidered. Got a top quality embroidered hoodie from there for Christmas too. These came from the Neshaminy Mall store.

We've fallen all the way to 8th, 20 or so votes ahead of 9th. We need to get another few dozen votes to be safe for a Bye. Let's get out the vote in a big way this weekend.

Still in 8th in the Northeast (which is actually 10th overall, only 2 teams outside of our region have more votes than us, but that doesn't matter).
Keep getting votes in.

Votes lock at noon tomorrow. We're still in 8th, but have over a 40 vote lead on the 9th place team, so looking good at the moment. Still ,try to scrounge up any votes you between now and Noon tomorrow.

The 20th & Olney team has a twitter account that announced a different promo code yesterday for 50% off. However, the link only showed $20 tickets and $10 children, and I was not sure how to qualify for the promo.
I like being the night game. Dionte will pack in some supporters, you know that? It's important that some La Salle Explorers supporters get into the house as well.

The 20th and Olney team could have a problem. Both Steve and Ramon are playing in the NBA Vegas summer league and if their teams advance far in the playoffs, they could end up not making it back in time to play in the TBT on the 18th. Not sure if the TBT organizers would allow them to add replacement players if that ends up being the case.

Hoping they both kill it, but the rest of their teams suck and they're both back in time.

agree - but really, what's best is that we get as many guys as possible playing pro ball and getting paid. Really helps recruiting when you're up against similar programs. Obviously the NBA is the biggest sell, but if we can't get a guy in the NBA, getting a bunch of guys overseas making good money sure helps.
Are they still eligible to play in TBT if they are on NBA Summer league rosters? I know there's an exclusion for NBA players, not sure if that's just for the "real" NBA or not.

I don't think they let you add any players now, there has already been 3 forfeits in the tourney.

The Quarterfinals are on Saturday the 18th (day of 20th and Olney's 1st TBT game). There's no games the day before, meaning anyone that gets eliminated on Thursday should have plenty of time to get back for our game, which starts late Saturday night.
The plus side here, is that these guys are not doing TBT just for fun. They'd all stand to win about 100 Grand if they win the whole thing, so you'd believe they'll do what they can to get back, as long as their team isn't one of the Final 8.
