How could you not love Sister Jean!?!?

I’ll be that guy and say it. Her story was nice and all the first time but has become a little too much over kill now. I don’t need to see her in the stands a dozen times during the game. I mean when I see an article this morning on her yo yo skills back in the day (no lie) you know it’s becoming a bit too much.

How many times did we see Roy Marble in the stands during games? Seems like each team has its own person

I saw Frank Garza many times, but I did not spy Roy Marble even once. Of course, Roy is dead so that might account for that fact.

Seriously? I am guessing you are also 'getting tired' of The Wave in Kinnick as well? LOL If it bothered you that much, you probably should have watched something else then.....

yeah because a thing that happens once a game 7 times a year vs showing some 100 year old lady a dozen times during one game are the same. Sorry some people don’t wish to see the camera zoom to her and watch her barely being able to clap every time Loyola is on a run or makes a good play. Sorry we aren’t all holier than thou like yourself.
 
Producers always show after basket camera cuts in the first place. We miss full court press steals & turnovers because the camera is zoomed in on the guy who just hit a bucket...Now we had to see some 100 year old grandma after some baskets. I don't need to see her any more. After basket camera cuts suck so much, no matter who they show.
 
I was schooled by nuns who not only believed in corporal punishment, they relished it. So I have a bit of a different take on nuns.
Me too. Twelve years, K-8 was the worst. For every Sr. Jean there is a crusty old nun happily terrorizing kids whenever possible. I shoulda slugged those bitches.

Grandma? Not sure you understand how the nun thing works

You sound jealous.

I remember one day a nun giving one of my friends a bloody nose and then being pissed because he wouldn't stop bleeding. They were, though, for the most part, good teachers when they could keep their frustrations under control.

It was luck of the draw when I was groing up. Some very good nun teachers /motherly types. A few notorius terrorists -usually the older ones - who cherished the exercise of power over young kids and absolutely relished their exibitions of punishment.

I was on the receiving end of the stick more than once for ridiculous "violations" such as standing "outside the line" and "talking too loud" at lunch. One old bitch swung and struck me on the side of my head with a hardcover book baseball bat style. After that one, I told my mom about it and she was ready to go to war but my dad was a devout Catholic with too much reverence so he kaboshed it. Fat old habit-wearing sexually frustrated battle axes.

We had an ancient very obese nun in 5th grade who would fall asleep in her chair in the middle of class. Then would wake herself up when she started snoring!

Sister Jean is a media creation that many have bought into. If she was such a staple at Loyola basketball games where was she in the eary 1980's when Alfrederick Hughes and the Ramblers were a thing.? Where was she before the Ramblers became relevant again in the late teens of this millennium?
She only became relevant and a fan favorite when she was elderly and a story the media and the NCAA could sell to the masses. Before that nobody including the students and players cared about her. She was sold to the public and most bought it.

Haven’t found your 15 minutes of fame yet, eh? Don’t worry, fella, it will happen soon.

You know there's a huge difference between being 100 and being 60 right? You don't think that had anything to do with people's interest? I'm pretty sure she was there back then too, but you know, a 60 year old basketball fan isn't really a story. It's one of those stories that makes college basketball so much fun and different from the NBA. What's to hate on!??

What a pathetic, mean-spirited response! You obviously never had the good fortune to know a nun, or better yet, be educated by them. I was fortunate to know many of them during my 12 years attending Catholic schools when they were still wearing black habits. They were tremendously dedicated educators who gave up their secular life for the betterment of their students.
