Great to hear.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I sense that the next round of honorees could be moving towards folks closer to my vintage... Could PC be honoring Soup Campbell, Otis Thorpe and Billy D within the next year or two?

The 30 for 30 on the Big East was awesome and John Thompson was the man. I only know him as the coach of Gtown, but it's great that the Friars are finally going to add him to the list of legends. He should be up there.

PROVIDENCE COLLEGE TO HONOR JOHN THOMPSON, JIM HADNOT AND ANDREA MANGUM

Friar Legends will have their numbers raised to the rafters at halftime of the men’s basketball game on Feb. 14 vs. Seton Hall and the women’s basketball game on March 1 vs. Georgetown. College also will honor longtime play-by-play broadcaster the late Chris Clark

Thank you Bob Driscoll ...you have grown to be a GIANT in the AD business...despite what your average run-of-the-mill idiot thinks. It is amazing how our AD has been allowed to flourish and create under the administration of the great Fr Shanley.

If not for the great Chris Clark, the story of PC basketball, engineered by Joe Mullaney, would never have been told because it never would have been seen. He single-handedly put PC basketball on the tube and then became the Salty Brine of sports in RI.

I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge that WTM, a former great MOD and present KORE leader according to some, was a moving force in the movement which eventually succeeded in getting our Friar legends acknowledged and raised to the rafters. It took awhile but in time our voices were heard and the administration has done a spectacular job ever since.

WTM I salute you as a man of the 1960s possessing relentless fortitude...undaunted and undeterred as a guiding light dedicated to Truth, Justice and the American way.
