  1. Wednesday night. Same time as penny pitchers at the Hump so you had to choose, unless you were underage, then you went to Kearby's.
  2. My favorite game of the year. SIU like SLU has a ton of unknown. Beane will be the best player on the court Saturday. I am curious to see where SIU will get the rest of their points from. This SIU team is bigger than they have been in a long time and also should have better shooters than they have had in a long time. I also am curious to how Illinois transfer Ibby Djimde will play. I agree with most here that with 2 young teams, 1st game of the year, and with lots of unknowns that home court is huge. I said it on the SIU message board that nothing about this game would really surprise me. I can make an argument that SIU could win by 10, I can also see them losing by 20. In the end, I think it comes to home court advantage and SLU wins by 7-10.
  3. SIU will travel better this year than the last couple. The team should be a little better and the stench of Lowery is finally off the program. I will not be at the game but assuming they have it on television, I will be catching the game from Humphreys.
  4. SIU has no seniors and 8 new players. They are getting there but the Billikens can be confident of a win at home. If the game was in Carbondale it would be a toss up I think but in STL. SIU will just not have enough chemistry to win against a quality team on the road in their first game. They will be a tough team by the end of the year and in 15-16.
  5. As a SLU alum and lifelong Saluki fan, I am biased towards the SIU game. SIU and WSU will travel to SLU better than any other MVC teams.
  6. ISU predicted 6th in Valley this year. Of course I am biased but WSU and SIU are the best Valley teams for the Billikens to keep on the schedule.
  7. I think this is absolute best case scenario for SIU. With all of the youth, I expect the early season to be rough and SLU to have very little trouble with the young Saluki's. By the end of the year, we should be a very tough game for anybody. Since the beginning of the Hinson tenure, I have had no expectations until year 4. That will be next year. With no scholarship seniors Hinson should have something really good going for 2015-16.
  8. Have to at least double that 65K number. If the men get the money, so does the women's team.

  10. Except for a small minority, the smaller private school will always play second fiddle to the large public university as far as local coverage goes. Let the general public and the talking heads pump their chests about Mizzou. I will take a packed Chaifetz, a 17-2 record and the ranking over coverage in 2 dying medias. Forget about the Post and radio, they don't matter.
  11. I worked at the old Balabans while a student. Went to Herbie's last year and was disappointed. It was good but it wasn't Balabans.
  12. I would love to spend a September or October Saturday back on campus watching football but only if it is done right. I would not watch club football or non-scholarship football. To start a mid level FCS program you need 50 million plus the land for a stadium. Don't see that happening.
  13. OK, you don't have to f yourelf then. Sorry for that response. I am a Saluki fan but also a Billiken fan since I was a student in the 1990's. Losses like this sting but are nothing to melt down over. Especially when they are close, a blowout would be a different story. WSU is better than any team we will play in the conference this year. I assume we will be better in January than we are today. We should still be dancing and at the top of the conference by the end of the season. The game I watched today didn't change my mind on that fact.
