Column: College Basketball Fans, Rejoice. The ‘Red Line Rivalry’ Between Loyola and DePaul is Finally Back.

After years of hearing Loyola fans openly wonder why DePaul University doesn’t play the Ramblers in men’s basketball, it’s finally happening.

Loyola and DePaul are set to open a home-and-home series in December, it was announced in a press release. It would mark the first time they’ll face off since 2012 and just the sixth time since 1996.

Finally.

DePaul sits just 11 stops away from the Red Line. That’s about a 20-minute train ride on a good day. That’s not too far. It’s a wonder why the series didn’t restart sooner, especially since Loyola head coach Porter Moser has publicly expressed interest in resuming it.
