  1. After the UMKC game I was walking out by the players benches and saw Disbennett, he was holding a bag of ice in his hand so I'm guessing he hurt something in practice since he was supposed to start that UMKC game. GS
  2. Let me first say that whatever Hack levied all of the trouble related to this board is utter scum. Thanks to Steve for all of his hard work to get this back up and running. Secondly, I saw there was a growing thread related to SLU vs. UMKC that I posted a long comment on and I did not get a chance to read the rest of the thread as I had to leave my house and then it was gone when I got back. If anyone remembers their comments and would be kind enough to post them again that would be great. If not, no big deal. Also, I did not make the Duke game so anyone's comments on that would be greatly appreciated as well. GS

Wild animals??? Are you kidding me? And you make this genius assessment over ONE game? GS
  4. >I'll admit that there may have been a trace of nose rubbing >in the post you referenced, though I do not revel in the >Billikens losing at any sport. > >I do draw a distinction between Slu's teams and soccer as a >sport. We'll have to agree to disagree on the sport of >soccer while supporting the Billikens in general. Rich, fair enough. GS
  5. Rich, please don't patronize the Billiken soccer fans. If were sincere you wouldn't have made the comments regarding how it sucks to be a soccer fan unless you are a living in a hellhole and said "What's up soccer fans????????????"...you may have others fooled on this board but not I. Now I will admit though that you did not personally attack anyone and I apologize if I offended anyone by my post. I also think that based on your posts on this Board that you and I(outside of soccer) agree on a heck of a lot more then we disagree on. Thus, if you are willing to stop from making disparaging remarks regarding soccer and the Billiken soccer program then let's call a truce and end this now. GS
  6. >you didnt start the thread and attack those that did make a >fun prediction. two years ago, i refused to make a >prediction because i wanted to see who would step up to >replaced marque. i was roasted for not putting something >out there for the fun of it. now this a$$clown who >regularly comes in here and tries to shove his soccer b.s. >down our throats and demands we all worship "wilson", comes >at us with that attitude? pardon me for taking offense to >his worthless being. Take a valium there Roy. First I didn't attack anyone, I merely pointed out how misguided the predictions were. And I have never tried to shove soccer down anyone's throat...I just won't tolerate those that make disparaging remarks regarding the game. GS
  7. >Hey thanks For rubbing our noses in it! Guess what???? >Soccer is still a bore to watch (and you make it extremely >difficult not to bash the soccer bills which I have tried >not to do.) Rich, you are kidding right? How soon we forget... : November 17, 2004 "What's up soccer fans?????????" From Tom Timmerman's story in the post: "As expected, the Billikens, who finished 9-8-1 after losing to Memphis in the semifinals of the Conference USA tournament Saturday, did not receive an NCAA bid, ending a seven-year streak. It's just the fourth time in the program's 46-year history that it did not qualify for the NCAA Tournament." It always sucks to be a soccer fan (unless you're living in "old Europe" or some third world hellhole) but this is particularly ugly. My sincerest condolences. Rich I guess it really sucks to be a Billken Basketball fan based on your assessment. And "Particularly ugly"? I would say 9-21 is "particularly ugly". GS
  8. I don't mean to be getting defensive if I am, and I understand the close losses and players getting hurt etc. but this team was not going to win 20 games...maybe 15 if they were healthy, but the talent level just isn't there yet. When you are depending on guys like Drejaj, hard worker and I'm not trying to bust his balls, but he is not going to be able to hang with the big boys...it just isn't going to happen. GS
  9. Smarter??? Give me a break. If the predictions were at least within any sense of REALITY that would be understandable. And no I didn't make a prediction as I just didn't make the time to do it. I'll will make one next year just for you! GS
  10. >And the talk above has two freshmen leading us to some sort >of promised land. I'll pass on that cup of Kool Aid until >someone .. until next year's team .... shows me better. If >I have to eat those words, so be it. But the proof is in >the pudding. > >You guys are truly fans and for that I salute you all. But >reality is not one of our stronger suites. The fact that >Ian did not get a star rankles a Billikan. But on the flip >side we all accept a four star ranking for Lisch and a three >star ranking for Liddell. And how real are they? Seeing is >believing. TAJ this is my point exactly. Based on what I've read(now I'll admit I haven't seen them play) these guys are not Larry Hughes(who I did see play). They may have an impact but unless they exceed expectations it's going to be a long year next year. GS
  11. To be honest...after we lost Vedad I would have picked no better than a few games over .500. Will John is drastically overrated and refuses to work for the ball thus leaving the offense very suspect and we also lost some senior defenders. There was still a lot of talent but no go to guy offensively. The lack of team unity surprised me and thus was the result of the very poor season. BUT they were still a game over .500! GS
  12. Talk about missing the mark...the CLOSEST person was Nebraska Bob at 15-15!!! then Courtside at 19-15!! And the self proclaimed Billiken experts: Billiken Roy 23-10!!!!!! (That borders on delusional) Billiken Rich 22-12!!!!! (Showing your IQ Double Thicks 23-11! I hope David Nark was joking... This team didn't even make TEN WINS...I am big Billiken fan but you guys need a dose of reality.

Roy, the quote should be...it's fun to WISH the impossible...or maybe a wish means you have a chance...hmmm...maybe dream or delusion...now we are getting closer! GS
  14. I agree...that was a killer after getting within 5 or 6 pts. GS
  15. forward to! Wow...I thought the Basketball Billikens would at least make a game of it. Good young kids coming in next year but who is going to be our legitimate big man? GS
