You have to love the Gonzaga fan. Not satisfied to be affronted merely by common hosings at the hands of ragtag referees, he plows all avenues of discontent. - John Blanchette

Love hearing good news about the quality student athletes we have at this school. Check out the women's board for two of our women's b-ball players who are also Academic All-Americans.sigpic

Well, BDS, Sean was eligible and ought-after by Stanford, so I suppose he'd just miss the cut.

Well, if he was ONLY eligible at Stanford I'm certain SCU wouldn't take him.Originally posted by BobZag View PostWell, BDS, Sean was eligible and ought-after by Stanford, so I suppose he'd just miss the cut.
In all seriousness, this is a huge thing for Sean. Quite an accomplishment, especially considering this was with Graduate degree work, while most others were undergrad.Comment

Great job Sean!A Zag is generous.
A Zag knows he is much more than the sum of his stats.

sean is the prototypical student-athlete...sometimes people forget that these kids are students who play basketball....pargo had a great quote in his spokesman interview the other day when he said something along the line of "without class, there is no basketball"
congratulations to sean...he will be missed on and off the court in future yearsComment

Plus, that Organizational Leadership program is a Ph.D program (I had a friend who went through it a couple years back) - depending on his class load, Mallon could finish pretty soon with a doctorate degree. Not too shabby, if you ask me...Comment

Haha, sub-par indeed, I think there is some genetic mutation that occurs during one's stay there... am so thankful my uncle no longer lives behind the school, as EVERY TIME we drove past my mother would start singing that blasted fight song.Originally posted by Qhall43 View PostCongrats Mallon.
