Loyola Bandwagon Thread

[JohnU]

I wouldn't mind seeing them win the South.

I think it's interesting that most people are really rooting for Loyola as an inspirational cinderella and Nevada is 'just a team'. And I kind of think that way too.

Technically, they're both mid-majors.

The Nevada "thing" has an illusion of something that's kind of sinister. Undeserved for sure.
Maybe a lot of fans don't see a difference between Nevada and the Tark teams at Las Vegas.
Dunno ... Loyola being from Chicago is a difference. Nevada just is on ... what, west-coast time.

My brother in law runs a tree service on Chicago and one of his employees is the dad of Loyolas center ( Krogmann?) So I guess I'm onboard

My team got creamed and my bracket is busted so this is all I have left. My daughter is a freshman this year so I feel I can legit claim the Ramblers (since a shit load of my money is going there).

If your team sucks and looking for a ride, hop on.

Is your daughter hot?

Nevada has had some marginal success within the last 15 years or so. I think that's why they aren't considered quite the mid-major Loyola is.

Well that, and Nevada was a 7 seed that plays in a league that typically gets multiple bids each year.

Yeah that's true too. If the MVC was what it once was with Creighton and Wichita State, and loyola was still this good, I don't think they end up as an 11 seed, and probably wouldn't be the story they currently are.

Yeah, I have seen some questionable teams go on runs to the Sweet 16. Loyola isn't one of those teams. Ranked #35 on kenpom

Loyola hasn't been to the dance since 1985 and no one was expecting them to this year. It's truly a Cinderella story.

I don't disagree. They're a solid team.

 

[JohnU]

If anybody ever gets to Chicago and has a chance to see a game at Gentile, it's a real nice place to see a game.
The old nun will bless the event.

 

[DJ]

People love a feel good underdog story and Loyola has that plus Sister Jean. If you aren’t Catholic she probably is the only nun you can name that is alive.

And I can confidently say she won't be appearing in any of my nun fantasies.

This has potential.

This.

Tonight is the night get on board or get left behind, the Rambler Express is rolling out!

Alleging they don't make a wrong turn and end up in Macon.
Does anybody on the bandwagon have GPS on their phone?

Sister Jean takes directions directly from God so no GPS needed.

God and Sister Jean seem to have a sense of humor. I guess the bus driver didn't check in with them.

You’re actually serious I didn’t know about the bus. Pretty funny.

 

[JohnU]

I envision a bus full of guys cruising around all looking at the GPS on their phone, looking at each other with these dazed glazed looks wondering if this bus driver has ever attempted to call somebody and ask ... 'eh, where am I?"

 

[Wild Turkey]

I believe!

Saint Ignatius Loyola pray for us!
