Hard to imagine Pops ever doing this back in the day...

Early in his tenure, say '74, JT2 used go into the dorms and talk basketball at scheduled events.

I enjoyed the one I attended in New South.

[Madgesdiq]

I saw JT2 on campus 3 times in four years.

[SaxaCD]

Wow, shows you how he just sort of disappeared before he finally quit, I guess -- I think I saw him on campus that many times the first week or two I was at school, and too many times to count by the time I graduated.

[LizziebethHoya]

Wegmans is already the best store in the entire world. Now adding a JT3 appearance just makes it that much better.

Wish I could go!

Grocery store chain that's big mainly in PA and NY but stretch down to N. VA and MD.....

I've been to the Hunt Valley one up this way.... really awesome store.

[Hoya50]

wegmans in the greatest grocery store on earth. the chain is based in my hometown (rochester,ny) and i'd suggest going to the market cafe while visiting coach thompson.

[HealyHoya]

i graduated in '97 and saw Pops more times than I cared to count...50 times, maybe 75

Really, it's the only thing from upstate NY that upstate NYers can brag about. But, its a really, really, really great grocery store.

Does that count midnight madness? Because if not, then I think I saw him only once in 4 years. To be fair, he was only coach for 3.5 of those years.

Wow, if Thompson needs money so bad, he should probably just go coach the Wizards or Bobcats....

The Eastern Motors one is a joke, but here's also a hint that Thompson isn't doing this for the money:

Cheers to Rochester, NY!

Wegmans won the inaugural Food Network award for best super market last night, beating Whole Foods and Trader Joes.

Yeah, that's right. I watched the Food Network awards. Wanna' fight about it??

I wonder why Whole Foods didn't win. Its recycled organic toliet paper and 85% mark-ups seemed to have captivated the most infulential voting block, the yuppie demographic.

Did anyone go?

Where's the recap?

People of his age and stature tend to shy away from parading around campus for the hell of it. He is/was on campus almost daily, until the esh situation got out of hand
