  1. Also, these teams are good. Baseball is 17-6, softball is 16-11, men's tennis is 11-2, women's tennis is 12-1, and women's basketball has a chance to go the deepest they've ever gone in the WNIT.
  2. The individual teams generally do, but days like this make me wonder why no one is like "Hey SLU fans, there's a ton available to stream today..." in a way that isn't one-offs from every program and more like something making a bigger deal of a busy SLU athletic program.
  3. This thread seemed like the best catch-all for the fact that we have 5 teams playing today: -WBB is at Fort Wayne in the WNIT Super 16 tonight at 6:00 -Baseball hosts Rhody again at 2:00 -Softball has a doubleheader at GW at 11:00 and 1:00 -Men's Tennis hosts Butler at 1:00 -And the Track & Field team is spread out among 5 different events this weekend - at Wash U, Stanford, San Francisco State, Texas, and Texas State. Streams are available for WBB, baseball, softball, and the Texas Relays - ESPN+ for the first three, Longhorn Network for the last one. Would be nice to see the award-winning athletic department promote such a big day. That's a ton of stuff for your fans to stream on a slow Friday afternoon at work.
  4. He looks like the racist, abusive, alcoholic father from a movie set in 1960. Again, like you said, he might be a decent enough guy. He just looks like that.
  5. These are the main reasons he won't be returning to ISU, no matter what. And that's before the salary difference, facilities, etc.
  6. Nothing yet. It is worth noting that he had an offer from Indiana State, though, as I think @billikenfan05 pointed out the other day.
  7. If that's where you got your picks, you deserve to lose.
  8. I mean, I agree with all of this, which is why I'd hire Schertz and not even interview Ahearn. I just don't think the dollars would ultimately be as far apart as you had said. My reason is more that SLU would overpay Ahearn - i.e. "This is the range we pay our head coach" - and not that Schertz would be underpaid relative to our competition.
  9. Thanks. I was just curious based on some recent posts. I think you have a much different approach to fandom than most people around here. I would say that for someone with your perspective, Schertz should be an excellent hire. Offensive minded coach whose teams score a ton = high entertainment value. And he's coming from a school in Indiana.
  10. Where are these figures coming from? I would expect SLU to pay either of them close to the same amount, and it would be somewhere in between those numbers. Schertz makes $365,000. I don't know what Ahearn makes but I'm guessing it's comparable. NBA assistants generally make 6 figures, with a pretty wide range depending on role and experience. Bottom line is neither of them would be a huge savings over the other in terms of salary.
  11. Did he really say this?! Man, that guy hasn't changed a bit from the abusive sports dad getting kicked out of the gym during his son's games. Troy was a one-dimensional HS player who could shoot and had really weird form. He went to Arkansas State, never played (the coach's fault, I'm sure), and transferred to UMSL. He's the 39th leading scorer in UMSL history. The idea that he'd be playing alongside Lee and McKinney is laughable. Set aside the fact that neither of them ever wanted to go to SLU, but if Troy were going to get a scholarship on a team with those two, he would be the 13th guy by a landslide and lucky to get garbage time minutes. Not someone who shares the court with stars.
