I can’t really reference Gonzaga before and after, but one thing I really enjoy about the school is the fact that they still give a TON of tickets to the student section. Bravo. Keep it like that and the Kennel will always be a tough place to play.

Father Spitzer is a forgiving sport. Lesser men would have refused to speak to the SR. remember this fiasco?

“The headline was written by Robin Moody, a 24-year-old intern copy editor. On Wednesday afternoon, she resigned from her job at the request of newspaper editors.”
Ha! Cd’A Press editor Mark Allison tracked her down and hired her the very next day after the SR canned her…She lasted all of a month or two.

He will be remembered by me as an honorable man and visionary for all things GU. He will be missed considerable and I hope the incoming president can further Tather Spitzer’s legacy.
