They gave it...

Lee at the line

... their all! Sadly, their best just wasn't good enough to win the game. Yes, Steds went down against Duncan in the RecSports B League semifinals. Steds started off fast, commanding a ten point lead thanks to power forward John Cook, lighting fast Tommy Kelly, and "sharp dunker" Jake Laufenberg. But it seemed as if the gas tank of the Steds basketball engine hit empty out after half time as a scoring drought set in, allowing Duncan to not only equalize but also go ahead by ten! And by the time the team found their game again, it was too late... and not even "the enforcer," Jack Szatkowski, could help. Sadly, it was lights out for team Jay and the Juice. On the game, Fr. Ralph, watching from the sidelines, shared, "Of course, we're sad for the boys. The breaks didn't go their way, but that's life. Humbled now they are, but next year... next year... this team is going all the way!"

Your Sunday picture...

The day- and the party- are over

... from Notre Dame. As the sun sets over Lake Michigan, so does it over Spring Break. Yes, the sun sets on all the fun and frivolity, late mornings and even later evenings, laughs, high jinx and much more. But what a break it was! Enjoy the view, and enjoy your Sunday wherever you may be.

For Spring Break, the Gentleman's Monthly will be posted every other day and In the Red Room will return next week with more great stories!

Best of...

... the Gentlemen's Monthly. With everyone on Spring Break, we're posting every other day, and so, TEN years ago, here was today's posting. Again, I rather enjoyed it, and maybe you will too... again. Enjoy this blast from the distance past.


Spring Breaking.

It's Spring Break, and the Gentlemen have dispersed to the four winds in search of rest and relaxation. Of Spring Break, Neil Sielski, Sted's Junior and native Buffalolian, said, "It's nice to still be able to soak up the sun without all the commotion of the popular spring break locations. Gotta go apply more SPF -50!"

On Location: Spring Break

Spring Break: soaking it up

Yes, there is one set of foot prints on this Floridian beach. And unlike the prayer, the one set of foot prints does not denote the moment "where I carried you" rather it says to you and everyone there's one set because you weren't here with me! If truth be told, I am in NOT in Florida for Spring Break, but I was there for Fall Break. So, I am living a past memory thanks to photos and this video. Enjoy your break and this video wherever you may be breaking or not breaking!

We need...

The man in change: St. Ed

... a break, Spring Break to be exact. Yes, time to take a break from the books, classes and lectures, routines and schedules... and well, do whatever is needed in order to come back refreshed and ready for the final push to the end of Spring Semester. What are the Stedsmen doing? Going here and there and everywhere. Maybe we'll hear all about their breaks when we return. On his plans for Spring Break, Fr. Ralph said, "I love you all, but I hope I don't see you... Spring Break well and don't rush back. Really."

Your Sunday picture...


... from Notre Dame. Here is a picture of the old St. Joseph's Seminary now the Sacred Heart Parish Center. With great sunshine and no wind, St. Joseph's Lake has become like a mirror, reflecting the parish center, trees and sky. Enjoy the view, and enjoy your Sunday wherever you might be!

Saturday Squirrel.

We're back!

As the temperatures steadily climb and the days grow longer, our furry friends are emerging from their nests and frolicking about. With the recent warmth and sunlight, our friends are once again up to their antics, high jinx, and panhandling for handouts for all to see on the quads, in the trees, and wherever you might be. While passing the Ricci Band Building, Eoghan Fay '23, former Steds D.A.D. and now ND Law student, encountered this squirrel perched on a bike rack, enjoying a nutty treat. On being spotted, this squirrel non-verbaled, "Looks like Punxsutawney Phil was right!"
