    Bing Didn’t Push a Piano Off of the Top Floor of DeSmet?

    When I was a student, there was an urban legend that Bing Crosby had actually been expelled from Gonzaga. The rumor was that he had gotten drunk during a wild party in DeSmet Hall and pushed a piano off of the third floor balcony.

    Campus folklore tells the story that Bing Crosby was kicked out of Gonzaga because he threw a piano out of DeSmet Hall, an all boys dormitory. This event could not have happened, because Bing left campus in 1924 and the dormitory was not constructed until October 1925.

    “No team in the country has a better winning percentage against power conference teams since 2017 than Gonzaga... the Zags are playing above average teams in the best leagues in the country and winning 78% of the time.”
