While I wrote about his terrible ESPN commentating before, I just can't help but like the guy. He's funny, engaging, and is a very good coach. There's been a lot of press about him coming to the A-10 and SLU, and I hope that means good things for both - namely a better in-conference foe, a higher RPI, and more nationwide exposure.In an interview with Luke Winn from Sports Illustrated, he says he thinks SLU can become Saint Louis' home team. That would be fantastic and I think pretty likely - they have a new arena coming and there really aren't any other local college or pro basketball teams. Sorry Wash U and Um-sul. (And on a side note, Wash U was founded by a Columbian College grad, who also happened to be TS Eliot's grandpa). Majerus also talked about a movie he helped make and his success in the past, including a Final Four and a number of NBA draftees.
And I should note that Luke Winn only interviews totally cool and interesting people! See? Although the hope for GW to become DC's home team looks a lot more difficult with Georgetown's success. But I'm happy with where we are.

By the way, he's a great teacher of the game as well!!
When Hobbs leaves it would be great to get someone of Majerus' stature, wouldn't it? There's nothing wrong with dreaming!!
