Overcoming a vast disparity in talent, the Manhattan College Men’s Basketball team demonstrated why the games are played. Maryland helped of course. Starting with their coach publically being force to play the NIT by the legal eagles, and finishing with the Maryland team forgetting their lessons. I was astonished to see them not pound the ball into the center. But, if you go in with a “failure vision”, then all to often it comes true. I thought it was intersting that the Jaspers packed their bags as if they were going to lose. I would have packed as if, assuming, I was going to win. But then, I’m here and they are there. ;-) An amazing job in the face of overwhelming odds.
Anyone want to ask what a Jasper is? Or, yesterday’s recipe for turtle soup?

Well, you could do yourself a lot of good choosing Manhattan College. Assuming you mean http://www.manhattan.edu and if you don’t why not? I read your “go for two and transfer” strategy. I recall the old adage that “it’s not the depth of the well but the size of the bucket”. MC can help you challenge yourself. It’s all about finding your niche in life. I think that MC has an great record of turning out amazing individuals out of rather ordinary people walking in. Read about our alums at http://www.jasperjottings.com that I edit. It is no “house” propaganda. You can reach me at http://public.2idi.com/=reinkefj if I can be of further assistance. F. John Reinke Manhattan College Class of 1968

Manhattan College Jaspers nip Maryland
Saturday, March 18, 2006In one of the best efforts I have seen by a Jasper team since winning the MAAC regular season game, the Jaspers brought their A game to College Park Maryland. Despite being razzed by Frau Reinke and one of my best friends who happens to be a Maryland alum, I was strong. I never doubt that if we had a lotta luck we could win. Bottom line: they did! Go Jaspers.

Go Jaspers
Wednesday, March 15, 2006Interestingly, Manhattan’s win against FDU (I was a guarnteed winner since I am an alum of both schools.) now pits them against Maryland. One of my best friends is a Terp. So, we’ve been exchanging barbs. About state skools. And turtle soup. It would really be HUGE if the Jaspers can pull of an upset!
