Wow this one really hits home. I was a big Georgetown fan back in the day and I loved watching the developing rivalry between Lou, John Thompson, Chris Mullin and Patrick Ewing. Sad to hear.
Yup. Sad to hear!!! Coach Lou and St Johns was a big big part of the Big East in their hay day. Great fun to watch, he was a character. "The sweater"
Helluva run to make it to 99. Thanks for the memories Louie.
I had Georgetown season tickets the sweater year. Although it didn’t end the way I wanted it was the best year of basketball ever, for me. Great teams, great drama.
Looie, Rollie, JT, great memories of the Big East! Rip Coach C.
I was a big Georgetown fan, too. Except where I lived there was no cable, so I listened to the games on the radio.
Loved Louie, wish he and Mully could have gotten a title back in the day. Those Big East battles of the 80's as good as it gets,
