Recruit (1/7)

  1. I'm a South Bend native who moved to St. Louis in 2000. I think ND fans can be arrogant, but then again, ND fans should be arrogant. There's a lot to be proud of - recent football struggles notwithstanding. Many people hate Notre Dame, but at least Notre Dame matters enough that everyone has an opinion. Believe me, SLU fans are far worse. It's fine that they support their team, and I think it's great that there was a place for them to go to college. But they're kind of delusional about SLU. They think it's somehow a sign of prestige to pay private school tuition for a school that isn't even as good as Mizzou. They go around saying things like, "SLU is the second best catholic university in America." (and even if it were true, would you brag about second best?) Nobody challenges them on it because there has never been a SLU alum to ever leave the city of St. Louis, so who's going to argue with them. So they really start believing that it's a good school. SLU, and the whole city of St. Louis for that matter, has a huge case of the emperor's new clothes. This was once the 4th largest city in the United States, but now it is nothing more than a dying river city, a rotten urban core surrounded by miles of suburban sprawl. I wouldn't wish St. Louis, or SLU, on a convicted felon. They actually think a selling point for their city is that the zoo is free. The food here is awful. This is the only place on the planet earth where the people manage to mess up pizza, but they've ruined pizza in St. Louis. They put this nappy cheese on it - trust me, it's awful. In short, this place is an armpit and ND fans are lucky that they were able to avoid coming down to this ###### pit for a game.
  2. Soderberg isnt going anywhere I mean he can stay at slu as long as he wants I mean he could lose 4 years straight and he will not be fired,look at Pizzotti she loses year in and year out except for 2 seasons and she still has a job. SO SOdaberg will stay. Woolard wont fire a coach if he or she loses alot
  3. I tried to get tickets to the game in Fort Wayne, I got one but the ticket person said the game is almost sold out should be a good game with the crowd mostly nd fann. I hope there are atleast a couple of billken fans there!
  4. Have they started selling tickets for the 2nd round in ft wayne
  5. Saw the Jillikens on Charter, they lost by 30 pts to Southern Mississippi!! 7-13 for the season Maybe they can win against Tulane.
  6. i did some research none of her former asst coaches went on to coach college any where else. So money doesnt play an issue. There isnt a big difference in pay at slu for either team, yes head coaches, but asst not much. At better program yes uconn, tenn, nd men and ladies get paid a tons more because both programs are good and the athletic department and schools care about all the athletics Plus the ladies bball teams win yr in and yr out
  7. Everybody stop bitching. Somebody get facts face the ladies suck so do their coach change is needed
  8. you are right about the ladies, they do not look like they are having fun out there. I have been watching them for a while now like 7 yrs and the lady bills always look like they are not having any fun even the players on the bench, show no emotion or even more it look like they would rather not be there. i thought last year they had a good year, but in the WNIT they got their A$$ kicked. It took John Wooden I think 11 yrs before he won his 1st NC, so i thought Pizzotti might be doing something right. @ asst coaches left from last season, not surprising I dont think she ever keeps a staff together more than 2 yrs. But the black guy and i think he rejoined th team this after a stint oversees, the media guide said its his 2nd . the 2 white guys have been there 2 yrs so I guess this is good for her, must be some kind of a record for her keeping assts. The obvious is that the team is just getting worse. They need change. Get rid of her make one of those assts like volfan said the head coach they look like they could do soemthing, they have enough expierence, and Francis the white guy did well in HS and also is a very good speaker. So is Evans, I have heard them both speal at billiken club meetings at Humphries they seem really enthusiastic and see comfortable in front of the crowd. Has to be hard though when the teams suck. Pizzotti is a terriable public speaker, plus she is rude, acts like she doesnt have the time of day to talk to anybody We need change
  9. Just some interesting info Notre Dame took its curriculum from St Loui University. Don't blame them for getting a tv contract for football, we had as much tradition and history as there football prgram and nbc, abc, or fox offered to televise all our home games in basketball slu would probably jump at that.
  10. You are right, many businesses now most people wear casula clothes to work. I look at banks many of the employess (men) do not wear coat ties like they use too. The one time I been in west pine gym it looked like most of the athletic office staff was dresse very casual. I would think in that type of office most people would be wearing a coat and time
  11. I mean the Kiel Aud, sorry about that
  12. the new arena looks good, the team just have to wins, look at all the teams that have off campus arenas, Kentucky, st johns, georgetown, they all could win will no on campus arenas. Here are soem programs that have on campus arenas and have so so facilities, nd,St Josephs, duke these programs still win with small playing facilities Dukes basketball office a great, but the there gym small and packed and they still win just a point to make. Its not how big and fancy the the gym is its wether you win or lose. Lokk at the Bills in the late 80s playing in the kiel opera house, won to NIT finals. I liked the atmosher felt like you were close to the game. Whatever happened to the bay billiken So in this new arena, will the womens team play, I mean at west pine they cant even fill the gym let alone win games. So when the new arena is finished will they play in there cause the gym will be really empty? Which would look ridiculous.
