I love love love that this tournament is upending everything, and in the shadow of the FBI investigation too.
College basketball will never be the same and we're all the more better for it.

She is incredible. I can only wish to 1- live that long and 2- be that sharp and articulate at said age. Also such a fun team to watch.

I’d like to be that sharp and articulate at my age!

Please Sister Jean root for Syracuse tonite Pleasssssssee!

this has been a great story but she needs to take a step back and allow the players the limelight.
name one loyola player ? media is focused intently on the team but perhaps for the wrong reasons.

Custer but I couldn’t name one on K-State nor Nevada though. Don’t know why I remember Custer but that Sr Jean has only brought more attention to the team especially as a Cinderella. It’s a win-win for them and active, alert, articulate 98 year olds. Bet most people didn’t even know Loyola in Chicago had a D1 program. If they didn’t win they’d be just another Lipscomb University , UNCG or Radford - Sr Jean or not.

Sister Jean has her own bobblehead and yes, I just ordered one. $25.

Loyola-Chicago’s Sister Jean now has her own amazing bobblehead

I don't think she's done anything wrong but if anything your beef would be with the media and not her.

 

[tbonezone]

I don't she's done anything wrong but if anything your beef would be with the media and not her.

i agree. a lot of folks don't follow college ball but like this narrative. but she hasn't exactly been camera shy at all. all over the news. way more than the kids who play.

Eh she's not seeking the spotlight. Its a great story

Don't sell yourself short. Your sense of humor is healthy as a horse.

It's a win/win for everybody affiliated with Loyola. The players are getting plenty of attention. What's she supposed to do? Decline interview requests?

 

[Zippy1808]

she is part of the team.
no different than a chaplain who sits on the bench of a school like Villanova.

Tell me your kidding. 98 in a wheel chair do you think she is cruising her chair trolling for the press? Wow

 

[rhcuse]

It was "Oh, how sweet" the first time. Now it's :vomit:. But I generally despise human interest stories and all paparazzi related ilk.

As I watched her story unfold I thought to myself that inevitably a few folks on this board would have a problem with it. Sure enough.

you spin it into an attack on sister jean. it's not. but she's not playing . cbs led off the morning news with an interview. great . but she is just an ancillary piece of the story.
credit rightly goes to the players and coaches who won the games. not the fans.

I agree to a point but to repeat, your beef is with the media not her.

She's a veritable Lavar Ball wannabe.

Only on Syracusefan would you find people with disdain for 98 year old nuns in a wheelchair....SMH

You mean like watching crying kids right after 2 teams have battled all game?
