Wonder is heâs as ashamed as you guys are of the supremely unqualified and obnoxious Secretary of Defense!?!?
coincidentally i ran into judson wallace around town. funny dude. was a great player imo.
asked him abt hegseth the man. he said he penned a post on medium.com bc he got calls from countless journalists pre confirmation hearing and no one quoted him.
said read it which i did but called him " best teammate ever."
fwiw.
oh and lloyd austin is from my small hometown, went to my ga high school graduating 1 year after re-integration and he played hoops too! i look up to him and his family.
this comment is not abt politics or the qualifications debate but funny juxtaposition of ppl and places at least for me.
Amazing to consider the limited degrees of separation that tend to bind us all - regardless of race, gender, point of origin, status, or wealth: material/spiritual or lack thereof: you, james, are clearly bound to General Austin and Wallace - all of you as sons of the South. You connect with the General via deference and respect; as perhaps Wallace connects with the now Defense Secretary. And all of you perhaps share the relationship of having played scholastic basketball. - you, Wallace and the Secretary may have even been teammates on those early 2000s Princeton teams coached by John Thompson and Joe Scott. And I, too, am part of that fabric, though remotely so. You see, Iâm originally from Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, New York and the private high school in the area, Poly Prep Country Day, has served as a feeder for the Ivies. In 1999, Poly sent one of its best basketball players ever, AndrĂ© Logan, to Princeton, where he capably served as a part-time starting forward for four years.
Logan had talent. Before his injury,
he looked like an All-Ivy talent.
Evenn after losing some explosiveness,
he had a productive career.
And, unlike Hester, his mother never
called him a serial abuser of women.
brett kavanaugh was worse imo.
i mean did you hear of the ass beating he delivered to the dude picking on the ol nba center defenseless chris dudley at the old demerys in new haven?
thatâs after slaying all those groupies for the georgetown prep jv team in georgetwn.
just a bad dude all arnd. mystery how he graduated yale summa and then yale law later if you watched the hearing. 
must be a highly functioning alcoholic i guess???
Doesnât get more damning than that! Does it, sir?!? The Princeton basketball/gradâs own mother! I donât care so much that you got the Defense Secretaryâs name wrong and wonât print a correction as heâs unworthy of that much - the galling embarrassment he is, whether youâre me, a LocalTiger or Bill Bradley! I did, however, mean to include in my earlier comment, the obvious status connection between him and General Austin. Of course, the decorated general has served our nation, by all accounts, with distinction and for half a century; a man of genuine character, maturity and developed military expertise - an African American who makes ALL OF US, not just james from Thomasville, proud; heâd even make the Princeton community prouder, still, but for the fact heâs a West Point graduate
While weâre on the topic of former Ivy hoopsters who serve/served in government, Richard Stengel was at center court at Jadwin on Saturday as part of a halftime salute to the 1975 NIT champion Princeton Tigers squadâthe team that hooked me on Princeton basketball as a 10-year old kid (guess I just dated myself). Probably better known as a journalist than a government servant, Stengel served as President Obamaâs Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs for a couple of years.
Unless Iâm grossly mistaken, James is an Eli.
TigerFan,
this is actually about two who served the country and two whoâve spent the better part of this century on their portly butts, having their beer âservedâ to them at practically every drinking establishment from Maine to MaraLago and back! Still, I hope you enjoyed Saturdayâs game and that Mickey Steuerer (shout out to Archbishop Molloy in Queens, New York) was in attendance! 17407094196981289210460492439860|474x500
antiUngvar,
We clearly share each otherâs politics. And yes, Mickey was there and I had a chance to introduce myself and thank him for the joy he brought me in my youth. I am both a âtownieâ who grew up watching the Tigers and an alum who has been fortunate to see them play in the NCAA tournament more than a dozen times since graduating from Old Nassau, including the dream weekend in Sacramento two years ago and the joyful trip to LâVille for the Sweet Sixteen. I have the issue of SI that I believe had had the photo you linked to in your post ("This coach stalks overdogsâ or something like that.)
