    Does anyone know the Venmo account for Xavier Men's basketball!?

    I always find it comically amusing how we as fans track flights, restaurant stops, and the like to try to ascertain what's going with these job openings. I'd be terribly bummed if Mack left, but if one simply take a step back and looks at how we over-analyze every single detail it's pretty fantastic. We awkwardly stalk these coaches more than a middle school boy does the hot high school senior girl.

    Mostly because the fortunes or successes of entire programs often rise and fall on who happens to be at the helm.

    No team is really immune -- one bad hire can send things into a tailspin.

    FC Cincinnati is a huge deal whether Xavier fans want to acknowledge that or not.

    Oh no, I understand why programs obsess like this. It’s just slightly silly looking at it from the outside. It’s our own miniature espn/Brett favre retirement saga.

    Outside Cincinnati metro? Sure.

    Inside Cincinnati metro? FC Cincinnati is a massive deal. I see more people walking around in FCC gear these days than any other local sports, outside of *maybe* the Reds.

    Big deal or not, it's obvious this guy's passion is with FCC and that's where he puts his focus. That's why he tweeted that, and that's why there's no reporting on Mack.

    More than likely there is no reporting going on about Mack because no one is willing to go on the record (or even speak on background) about what is going on right now.

    There will be a press conference today at 3P to discuss the future of David Padgett.
    "He's a little bit ball-dominant, he needs to have the ball in his hands, and he's not a good shooter." Ball-dominant … isn't that a nice way of calling someone a ball hog? Where is my Jay Bilas Thesaurus?
