  1. "In Chaifetz Arena, our best 2,700 seats (27% of the Arena) will require a per seat gift". - SLU According to my color coded chart, the only seats not requiring a donation are those beyond the baseline. The Billiken Gold and Red take you from the 5th row all the way to the top. So other then suites and party rooms, yes way more then half are behind the basket CAG
  2. St. Louis Rams only got 3 years from Dick Vermeil. Looking back I don't see a downside to that. I'll take Majerus if he were only here for 2. CAG
  3. Anybody know when this is? Is it open to the public? I understand it's not going to be a full go practice with everyone at once but would it be worth going to? CAG
  4. Majerus is not in St. Louis. He's in Milwaukee They are getting closer SLU is in negotiations with a downtown hotel regarding long term living arrangements. Sounds like they're still working some things out. CAG
  5. If there was a press conference scheduled for noon or 1pm I would think that SLU would put it out to all the evening/late news stations to inform people that there's a press conference scheduled. If we don't hear anything this evening from local news stations then I would doubt there's a press conference tomorrow early afternoon. I can't see SLU having a press conference to name the hiring of Majerus to lead us into the new arena and not make a big deal of it. That would make no sense. This should be as big as the ground-breaking was in my mind. The second logical option would be for SLU to announce in the morning that there's a press conference for later on Wednesday afternoon and have things at 4 or 5pm. If things continue to drag on past tomorrow then I'm guessing that lessens the chances that Majerus is the man for the job CAG
  6. I didn't see anyone else post in regards to Slayton's interview with Frank so I'll fill you in. Cusumano was on with Slayton around 5:40 tonight with the most up to date information I've heard. I listened to channel 5's 6:00 newscast and Renee did comment on the situation but Frank went into further detail with Slayton. Frank said things are close. He feels a deal will get done soon. Both SLU and Majerus have sent lists back and forth in regards to what each other want from this deal. Frank mentioned the financial aspect nor assistant coaches are an issue. Magerus's 3 top items on his list are as follows... 1)Better travel arrangements (chartered flights) 2)More academic advisor's for student athletes. I would think this could be done pretty easily. 3)More strength coaches for student athletes. Apparently SLU has 1 strength coach for all the student athletes. I didn't know that but it's pretty pathetic. I don't think any of these requests are "off the wall". As a matter of fact, the most difficult details seem to be worked out. If this is all true, I'd think we should hear something by late tonight or tomorrow morning. CAG
  7. Actually an employer can place a REBA on an insurance policy creating a vesting schedule on a policy. A REBA stands for Restricted Endorsement Bonus Arrangement. It gives the employer "golden handcuffs" over their employee. CAG
  8. McGraw Milhaven reported on their show about 20 minutes ago that Majerus is on Campus today. I have no idea to the validity of this. Maybe some students can fill us in. If he is there I would assume he'd walk through the campus and down to the stadium site. Should stick out like a sore thumb. CAG
  9. Why do you have to try the hardest when according to the kool-aid drinkers he's best friends with Kramer so he's a shoe-in to come to SLU. I thought Brad's already got this one locked up. CAG
  10. Billikan, if you feel Brad, Grunk & Angres are an acceptable group of D1 coaching talent and you feel that they have done an acceptable job, then you are not a true Billikens fan. Either that or your related to one of them. CAG
  11. They are ahead of schedule. They will have it ready for commencement in 2008. No basketball no matter what until 2008-2009. CAG
  12. from vcu.edu . . . 4-18-06 Virginia Commonwealth University named Anthony Grant its new men's basketball coach on Tuesday, making him the ninth coach in the program's history. Grant, a native of Miami, Florida, recently finished his 10th year at the University of Florida and his 12th year overall as a top assistant under veteran coach Billy Donovan, more than a decade of work culminating in the Gator’s first national title in basketball. Again, why can't we hire a top assistant? VCU did it and it leads them to 28 wins and a first round "historic" victory over Duke. Please don't come at me and say he wouldn't have done it in the powerful A10. CAG
  13. Did you see VCU knock off DUKE. That was a great finish. I believe this was the first year for VCU's coach. Great start to go 28-6 with a first round W over all mighty DUKE in the NCAA Tourney. How was that type of a season even possible with a first year coach? Most of you deemed it impossible. OHHHH wait, I know. I bet he has a huge recruiting budget and that their administration really loves basketball. CAG
  14. My first chance to see him. That guy was unbelievable last night. I think he had 38 pts on 12-14 shooting and 14 boards. He was all over the place on the offensive and defensive end. Made a great NBA three at the end of the first half. The way he went up and got boards reminded me of Tommie. He was aggressive and a quick leaper. No way McCluer North doesn't win state next year. Chris Lowery and SIU fans have to be ecstatic that they got to this guy before SLU, MU & IL had a chance. SLU missed out big time. Booker was impressive as well. I saw him step out and hit a three. We could use him as well. Wait a second, we could use any 6'8" guy right now. CAG
  15. GW opened with... Boston University (210) Dartmouth (255) Longwood - never even heard of them (307) Keenesaw St. (277) Maryland E. Shore (332) MD Baltimore County (214) I would have guessed 3 of those weren't D1. Come on now they didn't just schedule some that "turned out to be weak". That is pathetic scheduling. I would have bet you a million bucks all those teams would suck or "flop". I'm surprised MD Baltimore County was 214. Not too shabby. UMASS had... Dartmouth (255) St. Francis NY (281) Jacksonville St (315) Savannah St. (289) Boston University (210) Luckily they added these power teams above 200 Central Connecticut (147) Yale (142) Northeastern (183) Oakland(125) This is actually pretty comical. I didn't even think it was this bad. CAG
