Lower than Low-Major
November 6, 2007 by Extra P.
Ah, good times. I’ve been writing for Chicago Sports Weekly for several months now, but I started during baseball season, so I didn’t have a chance to dig into college basketball until now. Today, my expose about the Chicago State Cougars, and their surprising decision to leave the Mid-Continent (now Summit) League and go independent for this season, has been posted on the website.
I always root for teams like this. Whether it was a short-sighted athletic department or just good old money woes that drove the Cougars into the frigid waters of independenthood, the coach and the kids deserve our respect. And I, for one, will be keeping an eye on their progress this season.
Pawel Kielbasa has GOT to be a typo. The nicknames are endless.
And where do I know the name Rick Boyages from…oh, that’s right…
I just LOVED the idea of a Chicagoan named Kielbasa. But yeah, he must be popular in the locker room.
