Loyola Job

Funny that the article states-
In three seasons at Little Rock, he posted a 54-34 record. After taking the reins of a team that had finished 4-24 before his arrival, he posted records of 18-11, 18-11 and 18-12 before moving on to ISU.

It mentions his head coaching record at Arkansas-Little Rock, but completely ignores his head coaching record at ISU.
I wonder why?
ISU-2003-2007 51-67 .432

One of the worst hires I've seen this off-season.

agree 100%

If I was a Loyola fan I'd be pretty upset

They needed someone who would bring some excitement to that moribund program and instead they hire a retread
 
Those winning days at Arkansas-Little Rock are a long time ago-- as his most recent four years as head coach at ISU went 10-19, 17-13, 9-19, and 15-15...

Porter also was interim head coach a couple games at SLU while Rick Majerus was gone..he went 0-3

So are Loyola fans going to be happy getting a guy who really hasn't shown the ability to win for a long time?
I have a feeling certain BU fans would not have been happy.

The 1963 Loyola Ramblers one of my all-time favorite teams. And the radio announcer Red Rush was great. Bradley should play them every year, maybe we can win the next one :roll: The Ramblers are the only team from Illinois to win a NCAA D1 Championship game. Go Butler :!:

read, 1963 Loyola Ramblers....

Rush was also a great baseball announcer for the Sox. He had many great sayings during games for both sports, like "swisheroo it went right through" after a made free throw and "right down State Street" after a called strike.
 
I know it will surprise some -- but Jim Les' name is being mentioned as a replacement for Moser on Majerus' staff at SLU

Put another 2 on the Gonnella scoreboard!

We won! We Won! We won the game!

I wish there was some audio archives, would like to hear the last few minutes of that 1963 championship game, I was in the basement bouncing my head off the floor joists listening to it on the radio, it was a great game. Can't find any links.

Also wish there was some video of Joe Allen & Co....Willie Betts, LC Bowen, Al Smith and Chuck Buescher...that was a good team. Can't find any links to any old Bradley film.

For anyone who also likes the Loyola Ramblers, check this out....

Here's a bit of trivia...

BOTH Bradley and Loyola share one distinction...

BOTH had a #1 overall NBA draft pick!!

Bradley: 1951 Gene Melchiorre - link

Loyola: 1972 LaRue Martin - link


fewer than 40 current D-I schools can make this boast (and even far fewer non-BCS schools) --
-- can anyone name the other current MVC school that can?
