Mar 21 2037: Renewed Hope. - by therelabeef on March 3rd, 2024

Coney Island Anderson was brought back this season as head coach after firing him early season last year. The decision to bring him back was a good one for the team. He currently has the #7 seeded Blue demons rolling in the d3 tournament. Approaching the sweet 16, Anderson says he looks to his captains(Rinaldi, Frost) to bring the team together during this last stretch. Lets go boys. Greatness awaits us. The time is now. Go win it.


Mar 09 2034: MCLA vs Depaul - by therelabeef on September 12th, 2023

A true conference rivalry game will be taking place tomorrow at 12pm. The 11 seeded Demons have just defeated Hartwick in convincing fashion to move on in the conference tourney. MCLA, the 3 seed looms in the distance. This rivalry has a great center Matchup 6'11 Sammy Cole vs 7'1 Tommy Wagoner. This could possibly be the last time these storied big men take the court.


Feb 16 2034: KalamaWHO? - by therelabeef on September 6th, 2023

Markic... This will be a name to remember. The 6'4 player at Kalamazoo is averaging 35 points per game. ESPN has taken note. They are trying to compare him to our very own Frank Cross. Frank Cross only averaged 25 points per game though. Well Depaul still believes he is superior to Markic. Cross brought the Demons success (2 tourney appearances and 2 conference titles). He also brought rebounding and assisting with him at the pg position. Although Markic's stats may make you say WOW, he is the opposite of a team player, leading his team to an embarrassing 5-20 conference record in d3.


Feb 02 2034: Retirement - by therelabeef on September 2nd, 2023

It has suddenly came to my attention that THE FRANK CROSS has just retired from playing professional ball with the New York Knicks. This is puzzling because Cross had started 69 games for the team last year while almost averaging a double double. He is only 28 years of age. My theory is because he would like to return the the Blue Demons as an assistant coach. Other theories from other users may be used


Oct 20 2032: Frank Cross - by therelabeef on June 9th, 2023

There is some false news being spread about our legend Frank Cross. No he has not gotten cut by the Knicks. He is currently averaging a double double and is entering the peak of his career
