The Holy Land of Hoops

Update from Chicago.....

DePaul starting center, Rashaun Stimage, broke his foot on Saturday and is out 6-7 weeks. He is a nice player.

This comes after backup center, Peter Ryckbosch, torn his ACL and out for the year.....and after starting guard, Charles McKinney, was kicked off the team.

I really do not know of another program in America that has been hit harder than DePaul over the last 20 years with stuff like this.

Providence says, "Hello."

Yes, Providence has had some recent bad luck for sure. But not 20 years of this, right?

Just like Providence, DePaul's had a few good years in the last 20.

DePaul made the second round of the NCAA Tournament in 2004, beating Dayton.

I can't feel too bad for DePaul. Over the past 30 years, between hiring Joey Meyer, tearing down Alumni Hall, turning down the Finkl Steel site in favor of getting into bed with Rahm to build a trojan horse for a casino in the city limits cough cough I mean shiny new stadium, retaining Purnell, not firing their joke of an athletic director, so many of their wounds are self-inflicted.

You make it sound like it wasn't "bad luck".

Rahm is the devil incarnate.

Yes, you do mention some self-inflicted items and we DePaul fans agree on most of those.

But these constant injuries are not.

Suspensions are also self-inflicting in a way. Some other programs do not suspend players as easily as others do. For our Big East member up North from Chicago.....you know what I am talking about.
