Everything has been said and while I wish we were all there to see it, you can still feel the energy in every post, text, phone call, zoom, and facetime.
Only thing I will add is your team is defined by who stays not who leaves. Congrats Jamorko and Jahvon from Pat's first class. You earned it and you've paved the way forward.
Wow is some top 25 team going to hate their draw tomorrow.
Hoya Saxa!!!

dTrain and I were just discussing - thinking about Jahidi Hoya this a.m. You know he's got the dog mask on today up there!

Flying to Mexico to celebrate my seventh wedding anniversary, but could barely concentrate to pack or sleep last night, and have spent most of this flight on WiFi catching up on the Hoya news. Luckily my wife doesn’t seem to mind, or at least she’s used to my shenanigans!
In fact, nothing was really open at the airport at 9am, so I had to resort to Buffalo Wild Wings for hot wings and a beer for breakfast, because, why not?! #HoyaSaxa!
Just read this thread from top to bottom, and oh my, what memories we have made together, especially at MSG and Cafe 31. It’s such a shame we couldn’t be there in person this year. Especially tough for me as I literally live one mile (a 20 minute walk) from The Garden.
Oh well, even though Cafe 31 is no longer, next year I’m sure we’ll all find a new spot (Tracks, Pennsylvania One?) to congregate at before and after games. And something tells me there will be a LOT more Friday and Saturday nights featuring Ewing’s Hoyas and much cause for celebration. Don’t you think?
By the way, I am FB friends with the former owner of Cafe 31 (Paul the Greek who’s daughter is a Hoya) and he’s been following this miracle run we’re on. We’ll have to see if we can drag him to a game, and then force him to drink multiple shots of Ouzo with me, like in the good ol’ days! He was a big fan of Jahidi Hoya too...
Speaking of the many Cafe 31 memories, I’ll never forget buying shots for Anthony Mason and his (underaged son, Anthony Mason, Jr.) after we beat St. John’s one year. I’m a diehard Knicks fan too, so I let him know that, just so he wouldn’t kill me for approaching him in a Hoya jersey. After we all did the shot, I was trying to hang with them for a bit, but he gave me one look, which basically said, go away now, and I retreated back to the comfort of the bar and my Hoya brethren.
Just one of so many stories. And there are too many fellow Cafe 31 regulars to give a shout out to here, but can I just ask one final question before I go?
Who’s ready to board the one way non-stop express train to MEGAFANLAND. Last call! All aboard!!!!

Think we may be drawing more fans to Cap 1 next year?

Think we may be drawing more fans to Cap 1 next year? I think this BET run will be a saving grace for attendance next year. If we can make some noise in Indianapolis, it'll be even better. Of course, it's hard to tell the impact of COVID, etc., but we are much better positioned having had this run. Fans want to see winners.
