Been a LaSalle fan since Tom Gola gave me an autograph in 1952--still have it. There's a great deal of comfort in some small measure of consistency in one's life. But every so often (actually almost every March) it occurs to me that being a LaSalle fan is like being a member of a Cargo Cult. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult. Ironically, Following the Phillies brings the same feeling. In the midst of a Pennant Race ? the team felt the need to release its Spring Training Schedule for 2022

For the Phils, getting swept by Arizona might have hurt if I felt like the team cared half as much as I do. It's all about the paycheck for them and they are not cohesive. Now, we're seeing it clearly wasn't hardly a Kapler problem. I'm no fan of his personally but he can clearly coach a team to the pennant.
I don't have anything down to say about La Salle but today I finally threw out the ticket stub from Texas Southern. Do you know how many games we've been to over the last 20 (maybe longer for some) that were lost by 5 points or less? It's painfully consistent.

Talks abound about a favorable conference switch that is in the air.
