SJU Class of 1985. Unhealthy obsession with #sjubb. Thirty-plus years of believing "this is the year..."

[Firestorm851 @Firestorm851]

Not enough St. John's fans in my life. Need a dedicated #sjubb account to help with my obsession. About to go on a massive follow spree...looking forward to a big year!

[Firestorm851 @Firestorm851]

We should never take for granted the impact “Mike from Queens” has had on the program. Always grateful, @RepoleStable!

St John’s Nation,

I’m really excited by the job that @RealPitino, @steve_masiello, @EdKullStJohnsAD, and Tommy Ostrom have done building next year’s team as we continue taking steps toward becoming a Final Four program.

I’m incredibly proud of Rick, the entire coaching staff, and the players from the last two seasons for what they accomplished.

Think about this…….

Who would’ve thought 5 years ago that St. John's Red Storm would become BACK-TO-BACK Big East Regular Season Champions…
BACK-TO-BACK Big East Tournament Champions…
And win an NCAA Tournament game in both seasons.

That’s culture.
That’s leadership.
That’s belief.
That’s @StJohnsBBall program being back where it belongs!!!!!

But I also believe we may need ONE more final piece of the puzzle to truly become a Top 10 team and make a serious Final Four run.

I’ve always lived by the mantra:
“Think Big. Dream Bigger.”

Who do you think can be that final piece of the puzzle???

Could be:
• A portal player
• Someone testing the NBA Draft waters who could still return to college
• An overseas player

You can give me more than one choice but must rank them in the order of preference.

Let’s all have fun with this. 😀

LFG!!!!
Mike from Queens. 🏀💪

As @RealPitino would say: don't care about the misses, just keep on shooting... Tip of the cap, #Uconn. What a game.

[Firestorm851 @Firestorm851]

@RealPitino In my top three favorite teams after more than 40 years of loving St. John's basketball. Thanks for a great ride.

[Firestorm851 @Firestorm851]

@KirFlem Loved that moment. Great teammates.

[Firestorm851 @Firestorm851]

@RepoleStable @RealPitino @steve_masiello @EdKullStJohnsAD @StJohnsBBall Proud to be a Johnnie! Great group of young men who took us on a great ride.

[St. John's University @StJohnsU]

A season that reminded us who we are.
Proud of this team. Proud of this run. Proud to be Johnnies. 🔴⛈️

Thank you for the memories. #SJUElevates

[Firestorm851 @Firestorm851]

Bang on. This team gave us a great season, played their tails off, and were an easy group to cheer for. Nothing but love. #SJUBB

[Brady @BradyonBigEast]

We're not doing this again. Would I have liked to have a better point guard? Sure. Would I have liked to see Prey more down the stretch? Definitely

But say it with me: we gave the #1 overall seed a game in our first Sweet 16 game since '99

Stop placing blame. Celebrate. #SJUBB

[Firestorm851 @Firestorm851]

How long does five seconds take in DC? #SJUBB

[Firestorm851 @Firestorm851]

Time for talking is over. Love this team. We are…St. John’s! #SJUBB

[Firestorm851 @Firestorm851]

@RepoleStable @espken @RealPitino @EdKullStJohnsAD Amen, brother! Thanks for making it possible.

[Firestorm851 @Firestorm851]

I am not, by nature, a conspiracy theorist, but I have to ask: surprising 5 seed; cross-country first round in tough bracket; Ruby's all-American snub; multiple egregiously bad calls...I can go on. But more directly: what the f*ck? #sjubb

[Firestorm851 @Firestorm851]

Getting no love from the refs... #SJUBB

[Firestorm851 @Firestorm851]

@Chris_J_Rod @tominsalem Me too…assuming we win!

[Firestorm851 @Firestorm851]

@rumbleSBN The good old days...

[Firestorm851 @Firestorm851]

@KirFlem love that so much!

[Firestorm851 @Firestorm851]

@StJohnsBBall @MettaWorld37 @BIGEASTMBB One of our all-time greats!

[Firestorm851 @Firestorm851]

Great win today. Smart, disciplined, efficient. Just the way we want to look at this time of year. Semis, here we come... #SJUBB

[Firestorm851 @Firestorm851]

@NYPost_Brazille @RealPitino deserves to be the HIGHEST paid coach, without question. The value of reviving a 40-year corpse, igniting NYC, cannot be overstated — to the school and the league. Much gratitude to @RepoleStable and Fr. Shanley for making it possible! #sjubb

[Firestorm851 @Firestorm851]

@RepoleStable @nobull @StJohnsBBall Absolutely will support this. Loyalty, right? And great looking kicks to boot!

[Firestorm851 @Firestorm851]

@SJUDave @RepoleStable @nobull Has anyone here tried the No Bull shoes? Just curious about the fit. I consistently wear 11.5 in Nike shoes. Similar fit?
