Chapter 1: What would a St. John's loss mean for their season?
St. John's loses today, disaster season. Oh, yes. Disaster season. I mean, listen, they've had a great year up to now. I think they've met all their expectations. Some of the losses earlier in the season were learning, I think, for Rick Pitino. I think he probably used them as learning moments, especially that loss at UConn. And since that loss, this has been a team that has been on fire.
Yeah, I would say that.
Chapter 2: How has St. John's performance met expectations this season?
I mean, you can't discount how good they were towards the end of the season, and that was great and gave fans a lot of amazing moments, you know, crushing UConn in the championship game. But, yeah, I mean, if you lose in round one, that's going to be highly disappointing. Lose to Kansas in the second round, but it's an amazing game. Buzzer beater Kansas wins. How are you feeling about the season?
Chapter 3: What lessons did St. John's learn from earlier losses?
I still think this team has got to get to the Final Four. Final Four? Yeah, I do. I really do. Come on. That's a lot to ask. I think they're going to have the hardest road to get there, at least the way it looks to me in the brackets. If the other teams that you expect to win win and they win, it's not going to be the easiest.
And I'll tell you what, it may be one of the great runs in championship history if they can make it there. Yeah. He's got 10 guys. They play defense. And again, I know for at least the Johnny fans that I were with last weekend, they just kept talking about making your free throws and hitting a few three-pointers.
Yeah, I mean, to me, making it to the Sweet 16 is a huge step because it's just one of those things that you haven't done. You haven't done since 1999. I mean, that is a long-ass time ago.
This team has been building for the last two years. They spent the money. They got the guys. Going to a Sweet 16 is a great thing. I'm not saying that it's not a great thing. I just think that their expectations are not just a Sweet 16. And they shouldn't be. That shouldn't be where the expectations lie. Maybe they lie with you as a fan, but that's not where this team thinks it belongs.
No, of course not. I know that's a different thing. And the team is never saying, like, oh, if we get to a Sweet 16, I'm satisfied. No, I'm not expecting them to say that. I'm just thinking as a fan base that is such a loyal and passionate fan base that stuck with the team and didn't go to as many games.
Time out, time out, time out.
What, what, what?
Stuck with the team. I mean, the team was horrendous.
They were there.

Chapter 4: What does it take for St. John's to reach the Final Four?
Until Rick Pitino got here. They were there, though. And they got Mike Rapoli back involved, and they got the money. You're telling me that people left St. John's as fans?
No, they did not.
They were stuck with the team. There's always going to be hardcore fans. Okay? Yeah.
Damn it.
What's the matter? No, no, no. The thing took a hit.
There's always going to be hardcore fans, you know, like that guy, Josh, the kid that loves the Nets. I feel bad for him, but he's like one of like 80.
But it's different with college because people are really attached to that.
Yeah, but let's face it. They were not selling out the garden.
Okay, so they weren't spending money on them. It doesn't mean people will stop caring.

Chapter 5: How significant would reaching the Sweet 16 be for St. John's?
I'm just saying that it's a fan base that is passionate and loyal. That's all. I mean, it's kind of a ridiculous thing to argue.
I will say that Josh and Evan are passionate fans of the Nets. I will say that. Okay. I don't know why, but they are.
All right. Well, I think St. John's has more passionate fans than Nets fans do. Because a lot of them went there.
Yeah, well, now it's all about winning. Now it's all about Rick Pitino and winning.
Well, obviously. Yeah. I don't know. I mean, I'm just saying there's a lot of fans out there that didn't drop their team. That's all. Let's go to... Yeah, when they went to Carneseca Hall, yeah. What do you mean?

Chapter 6: What are the expectations for St. John's fans this season?
Well, they weren't buying tickets. That doesn't... Not buying tickets doesn't mean that you're not passionate about it. You dropped your season tickets with the Rangers. Were you any less passionate because you did so?
I invested a half a million dollars into the Rangers.
Okay, but then you dropped them. Does that mean you were less passionate about the team? You know what I mean? You're annoying me right now. Well, because you're wrong, and I painted you in a corner again. It's hard for you to get out. You don't know what to do about it. Peter Greenwich. Peter, what's happening? So he takes a call.
Hey, guys. Thank you for having me. I just wanted to say that there are some positive examples of oozing. For instance, if you cut a lava cake, the chocolate oozes from the middle, and I think that's pretty positive.
Yeah. You know what? Fair. Fair, Peter. I hadn't thought about that. I just keep thinking pus when I hear ooze.
Right. Well, what I think about a Boston cream from Dunkin' Donuts.
That doesn't seem like an ooze, though. I feel like it's more liquidy, the lava cake. Like juices oozing out of a steak, maybe? Juices. Juices oozing. That could be another one. Still though. Celebratory cream pie. Celebratory oozing cream pie. By the way, these calls that we are taking are on the Red Pocket Mobile fan line.
