Jimmy Patsos: Making Basketball Great Again
ny daily news

Last night, I sat courtside for what was definitely the most interesting end to a college basketball game that I've ever witnessed. I've seen some pretty great Siena games but this will hands down be one of the most memorable that I've attended!

With two minutes left in the second half of the Siena Rider game, a heated brawl between players led to an almost fight between the head coaches. With 10 seconds left in the game, Rider calls an unnecessary time out. What were those 10 seconds used for? It's believed so they could be told to leave the court without shaking the hands of their opponent.

But- that doesn't stop Siena's head coach, Jimmy Patsos, from showing good sportsmanship and all around class. As Rider walked off of the court, clearly avoiding the Saints, the entire Times Union Center booed them away. Patsos paid no attention to their exit and walked down the bench invisibly shaking the hands of his opponents after Siena's win.


Jimmy Patsos puts Siena College on the map and draws attention to the MAAC Conference. He's the number one trending topic on Facebook and the story made national news on The Today Show, SportsCenter, ESPN, etc. People have even started to make memes of his "imaginary handshake".

Jimmy Patsos is a legend.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
