Recruit (1/7)

  1. what a battle yesterday at Klockner. I approached the game thinking my loyalties would be divided (I'm a StL native and had a cousin play for the Bills, and I'm also a grad student at UVa), but as soon as the blue took the field I was rooting for SLU all the way. Folks, you should really see this team if you get a chance. Lots of home grown talent and very young -- half the roster was in the freshman class. They have big-time talent and kept their poise even when playing a man down the whole second half. I came away very impressed. I had the privilege of sitting next to a SLU soccer alum from the 60s who was basically a living encyclopedia of StL soccer. The whole experience was really a treat. Again, I highly recommend seeing this team play -- they'll surely be making some noise in the national scene.
  2. http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/r...tudoc_brief.php FYI, Mizzou checks in at #73, SLU at #78 too close for either school to claim academic superiority, in my humble opinion. Hopefully, this will help to put an end to such outlandish claims made by supporters of both institutions.
  3. Taj79 and other Billiken soccer fans in the south/east, I'll be cheering on the Bills when they play the Cavaliers on August 31 here in Charlottesville. If you're planning on catching the game, please let me know. I'd like the opportunity to say hello and meet some other Billiken soccer fans, as I'm sure I'll be one of the only UVa students rooting for the Thrillikens. (In case you're wondering, I went to SLU High, then Mizzou for undergrad, and am now a grad student at UVa. (I know what you might be thinking -- how did a Mizzou grad get into UVa?) I root for the Bills except when they play Mizzou. No exceptions to this rule for me, even when the Bills are playing UVa!
