Summer in the world of college sports is the time to slow down, kick back, relax, take some time off and catch your breath. You think about the coming seasons but honestly you don't think too hard.
This summer in 'Sader nation has been pretty eventful. The month of June was presented much to post about on Crossports with the surprise resigantion of head coach Ralph Willard to assist long time friend Rick Pitino at Louisville and the hiring of Sean Kearney from Notre Dame.
July began to feel more like a normal July but several of us fans and Crossports posters decided to get together to discuss not only the new head basketball coach at Holy Cross, but the outlook for the upcoming fooball season and underappreciated celebrities like George Kennedy, Ernest Borgnine, and Crossports poster, Bally host and Sports Street Regular Jon.

No matter what changes though, I'll be there courtside again!


Jon, a big George Kennedy fan, couldn't make the trip from North Carolina, but he was at a similar gathering two years ago with many of the same people and Bob just couldn't imagine us doing this again without him. So he made sure Jon was there in spirit!
And because we missed Jon so much that night, here's a couple of bonus pictures in a blast from the not too distant the past.

Shortly after this picture was taken, thinking that Jon was hitching, the driver of that minivan in the background stopped and offered Jon a ride.
Jon said, "No thanks. I'm right where I want to be. In Sader Nation!"
