We can definitely have some fun with that.

Augustana's Grey Giovanine has announced his retirement after 21 years at the school, and six years at D1 Lamar.  There'd been discussion here that Coach G. could one day make it into the Rushmore discussion, but retirement probably quells that idea.  A national search for his successor will commence.

I'd say he has a place on a Mount Rushmore of coaches never to win a National Championship.

That sounds like more of a Crazy Horse of coaches. ;)

TГИJCTO!

So, it takes 3 exclamation points in English to say what a Serb can say in one!

;D

It depends upon how much slivovitz the Serb has had prior to the exclamatory statement.

Nothing against Pop, but what did he do in DIII that would get him on the DIII Mount Rushmore?

He is a great coach, sure, but it is about what was done in the division.

Exactly. Otherwise, we'd have to put Jim Calhoun on it, too.

Grey was replaced at Lamar by Potsdam (and Jerry Welsh coaching tree) alum Mike Deane after he fell from grace at Marquette.  Mike stole an NCAA bid at Lamar (third different school he took to the dance), before his AD, one Billy Tubbs, decided to take another stab at coaching.  Deane moved to Wagner, where he came within a game of taking a fourth team to the dance and wound up as an asst to his former Siena Player, Matt Brady at James Madison, retired a couple of years ago.

Geez!  I guess I didn't realize that the WSUC/WIAC was a perfect 12-0 in the National Championship game before Matt Lewis and UWO fell short in 2018.   ;)

I guess they made up for it in 2019 though!  ;D

All the Serbian-Americans I know (and the one Serbian-Australian I know) are just fine with calling it slivovitz, which seems to be the generic Slavic name for damson-plum brandy. It's typically the word used on the bottle labels over here.
