Total garbage. I've been glaring at our waitress at that PGA Tour Grill piece of (the only restaurant open) trying to get her to take a swing at me. Get me the out of here.

RiseAndGrind Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Maybe someone else already posted this article somewhere, but I particularly liked these quotes from Goodwin: Quote "I'm not rushing but it's all about timing," he said. "The Billiken fans are thirsty to know if I was going there so I said, 'Why not. I might as well let the world know.'" Quote "I'm not being cocky but with the team we've got — and hopefully we get a few more guys looking heavily at SLU — I think we can easily make the (NCAA) Tournament," Goodwin said.

You got a heck of a player and someone who will take you guys far. It'll be a fun 4 years of j-good. Second, please ignore our moronic fans who feel it necessary to use social media to vent their frustration. They're losers. Unfortunately, every fan base has that small percentage of people who forget we're the adults following high school kids, lol Third, a lot of our fan base frustration comes from the fact Goodwin hasn't responded to our coaches in nearly a month( probably when he decided on SLU). Just a tough situation for a staff that has followed you the hardest for nearly 5 years, but that's recruiting. It has an ugly side. Credit to Ford/Tate for getting it done. Lastly, stay away from Tilmon. Congrats, again! We are aware of how difficult it is to put everything into a recruit and then lose them to another program (Tatum). Also, we'll stay away from Tilmon when the Illini promise to stay away from every kid we get a commitment from for the next 50 years. Assuming that doesn't happen, the game is the game.

I was thinking the exact same thing (referring to the Billiken chasing JG dream). I can imagine some song with a lot of base playing and different guys on the team running into the Billiken at different places on campus. The Billiken then chases them toward the Fetz where there's a huge crowd of screaming fans welcoming them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BilliKat Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Holy cow! I fall off the map for a couple months when things were looking kinda ugly and come back to this?! Really needed a happy Billikens story. So glad it was this. Hello all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
