Message: [QUOTE="NKR1978, post: 1013945, member: 186"] St. John's. We had our first golden age in the 50s and 60s. They had theirs a long time ago as well. Dropped off a bit and then picked up in the 80s with one magical year where we could taste a championship. Lost our kind of crazy/awesome coaches around the same time. We kept it going in the 90s a bit better than they did but they still had great teams in 99 and 00 (similar to our 01 football team that finished 14 in the BCS). Struggled to maintain and slid to mediocrity (low end bowls for us and their 03 NIT) before the bottom finally fell out. Seemed hopeless for too long, but we are both slowly managing to dig our way back and each seem on the verge of getting back to where we want to be. [/QUOTE]
