Brown leads UNC with ten minutes to play. Don’t love seeing Dawson Garcia carrying the Heels.

Louisville loses to Furman in OT. ACC basketball may be declining faster than ACC football.

Hey X-man,
I really enjoyed reading this. So many familar places. Robinson Hall is the octagonal building? Great hearing about Burlington. Thanks!

It is. My office was on the second floor left of the entrance, with a nice view of the clock tower. Robinson was originally a library, I believe.
Xavier will surprise. Never count them out of the Dance.

The Catamounts have really good team and should do great in the America East.


I'm a proud UVM grad, class of '69, and I am quite sure that your son will love it in Burlington. I then went to Providence where I spent 5 years getting my doctorate at Brown, another fine institution. Got smacked around by PC back then when they had Ernie (no) D and Marvin "tire iron" Barnes on their roster.


That's really great X-man! He seems to be having a good experience so far from what i can tell (enjoying classes, has nice roommates and friends), and doesn't seem to be homesick at 5 hours away. He's over in the Redstone area. Wow, yes, Burlington is such a great town and an easy walk from campus. I'm looking forward to exploring it more.

Do u get back for reunions, etc? So you probably know that Gutterson is still in use for hockey, a cool old barn with a barrel ceiling, and Patrick is in the process of being replaced by a new gym.

Amazing you were at Brown too! After last night's game with our younger son, we ate in Thayer Street. The Avon is still there and it's still a neat place. Marvel Gym was replaced years ago with a gym nexr to Meehan.

I'd love to hear about your experiences at both schools and cities, and what the biggest changes have been that you've noticed over the years. I'm actually a RISD alum (1990), so you are familiar with Benefit Street too i wiuld guess.

And Ernie, Marvin and Stacom.were legends. Guy last night at the Dunk had a Marvin jersey from the Spirits of St Louis, lol.

Very cool !!!


Billyjack - my son earned his masters degree from RISD. Loved living in Providence and enjoyed the food scene there.

As a TA in grad school at Brown, I ran discussion sections and graded exams for faculty. RISD students were often enrolled. In one course where I had to grade papers, a RISD student turned in not a paper but rather a painting (with, to be fair, some economics themes embedded in the "work of art"). I had no idea what grade to assign, other than an A for originality.

Rutgers beat Merrimack 48-35, but needed to outscore then by 20 in the second half to win. Dang that’s some ugly hoops.

Great story. Good for you for being open-minded!
