Dana & Victory Podcast: An Appreciation

[Mel Cooley XU'81]

Being an out-of-towner with few prospects for XU conversation (save Mother Cooley XU'81), I always looked forward to the podcast and enjoyed it. I was sorry to hear it has concluded its run.

Good luck to Brian Snow, wherever his acumen takes him. And Broering we shall always have with us. And I mean that in the very nicest possible way. Mother Cooley XU'81 grew up in Latonia so I appreciated the color.

I hope Dan finds a way to keep a voice in play. I was a huge fan of the Dana and Victory Blog. His instructions for drawing the St. Joseph Hawk, John Nagy-style, "Draw four circles like this. Now draw the rest of the effin' bird," was worth a chuckle at the time and has stuck with me. Or was it Bob Ross-style? In any case, nicely played.

Good job, guys. I was always a fan.

Nice tribute. Putting on a podcast, driving from Chi town to a game usually got me to the W Lafayette windmills. Thanks to all who bring a little extra for fans to enjoy.

It was so nice to have an hour plus of just real Xavier basketball talk. I'm going to miss that for sure.

With this and the lack of coverage by the "Athletic" since they let Shannon go Xavier basketball coverage is becoming extinct. Even these message boards have very little conversation.

Extinct is a tad dramatic. On Twitter, Xavier Basketball is updating info as well as Adam Baum, Andy Mac, and Banners on the Parkway. It isn't Shannon Russell but it is not awful nor extinct.

I saw this morning Brian Snow is hired as X's Director of Recruiting.
Not sure I knew what that position entails as the head coach was thought of as a lead recruiter. Maybe it is just Brian has the opportunity to mail letters and send texts to recruits?

I also see Penn State hired Bran Snow to be a recruiter. Are there 2 Brian Snows? Or is he remotely helping teams from one remote location?
