  1. I couldn't make this game. Anyone have a picture of the bobble head they can post? I too may be interested in purchasing one.
  2. Um...you have the Bills at 24. Ok fine. But, Syracuse at 17??? How is that possible? If your computer hadn't noticed, they have beat every team they have played including the team ranked 3rd on your list. It just makes me question your program a bit.
  3. I fully agree. 22-2 is awesome and winning is winning. But that really wasn't the point of the post. The last 4-5 seasons have been a ton of fun with the program growing and growing and winning more and more. I've loved following the last few main recruiting classes as their careers have blossomed. Last year was truly a special season. This season is setting up to hopefully be even more so. Again it is just a thought I've had in my head for a while that I thought might make for a good discussion.
  4. Shocka is going to have to really do something special. Especially coming off the loss. GW is going to be really fired up for that game. It is their opportunity to not only take 2nd place in conference but get some love on the national scene. They are just now getting some pub as a possible bubble team. A win over VCU pretty much would move them off the bubble and into the brackets. VCU knows it will being staring a loss in the face next Saturday at the Fetz. It could be 3 in a row for them. It will be fun to watch.
  5. Man this is fun. Winning is so much better than losing. Why don't they just do this every year? This is a thought that has been rattling around in my head for a bit. Obviously we are ranked higher and have done a better job so far in conference this season, but purely from a talent level, which team had more? Our only new player that gets time this season is McBroom. While he is a really solid player, I don't think too many coaches would choose him over Mitchell. Then there is the loss of Ellis. Which I' m sure you how often a skill set like that comes along. Not to mention CR (all time games played leader BTW) who was a real solid big man defender and shot blocker. Looking at our run of wins this season, especially 2 of the last 3 games, we are 2 shots away from maybe not even being ranked. We were setting at 19 when we were taken to OT at home by GM. They had the last shot in regulation to win it. Had that fallen, there is no way we would be discussing the possibility of being ranked in the top 10. That would have dropped us a bit. Yesterday's win was impressive by JJ no doubt, but we probably shouldn't have been in that position. Sure, if either one of Loe's or McCall's open 3's fall there in the last minute or so, we would have coasted in. A win is a win, especially on the road in conference and in a tough oversized high school gym and I understand that. No doubt our ranking is deserved this season. But is our talent level better than last year?
  6. I've been away for a bit and recently have done some digging and haven't come up with anything. Who did we sign for the upcoming season? Does anyone know anything about our newest additions?
  7. For those who watched the game--I assume most on here. MO was lucky to have been as close as they were. They definitely had several calls going their way in the second half. Some directly leading to points for them. At one point, I was thinking to myself that their coach has to go the the refs and tell them that it was hard enough to play the 5 guys they are supposed to, they don't need any help.
  8. I had the same thought earlier. You know what is going to be. Huge headline "Mi$$oo loses" with a huge picture of a dejected player or two. And in the bottom right corner will be a 2" x 2" story about the Bills winning.
  9. Ignore the haters. This was a great day to be a Billiken fan. Finally. Take it in and enjoy. I texted a ton of people. Many of them responded, yeah, good win, but bummer about Mi$$oo. They didn't do it to be nasty and I resisted the temptation to rub salt into the wounds, but I fell great. SLU the only team in the state left alive in the NCAA's. It has been a long time coming.
  10. Not to do what we always do at such a positive and good time for the program, but.... Am I the only one dying to see how the local media hadles today's games?
  11. This feels good! It was a long time coming. Great for Conklin and Cassity.
  12. Does anyone know if the Sports Zone on Watson is still showing the Bills games? I am looking for a place to watch the game tomorrow night.
  13. Awesome stuff. Win this and we officially become somebody this season. It has been a long time coming. Go Bills.
