Dwayne's_World Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 This board needs an official piss and moan thread. All this negativity needs to be compiled neatly into one area. No positivity allowed Let's all face the inevitable and unavoidable facts. 1) Individual players will continue to incrementally improve while the team substantially grows worse. 2) Tatum will commit to Duke in the fall after spending the day with the cameron crazies and realizing how utterly pitiful SLU's student section is in comparison. 3) Milik will transfer because Crews continues to bench him for no apparent reason. 4) SLU will finish in last place again next season with no visible overall improvement. 5) Crews will reveal in a post season press conference that he does not--in fact--have a "system," and consequently, will not be able to bring in anymore recruits. *(2015 recruits will revoke their commitments) 6) John Manning will receive an additional year of eligibility from the NCAA 7) Dr. Chaifetz will withdraw all personal funding for the University and move his talents elsewhere. 8) Crews will subsequently be fired and Bronson will be promoted, ushering in a new era of Soderberg-esque mediocrity. 9) Upon news of his HC's dismissal, Brett Jolly will transfer to the wash basin. 10) The clocktower will be demolished in order to construct a memorial of campus protestors.

TRN Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Is Chaifetz really the donor that brought in Majerus? I thought the money for that was from a bigger donor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clock_Tower Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Is Chaifetz really the donor that brought in Majerus? I thought the money for that was from a bigger donor. Tom Novelly, the local Apex Oil guy who donated the land for the new CBC High School and who also financially bailed out CBC as they continued to spend foolishly in an effort to buy success in sports (part of the Christian Brothers philosophy of helping the poor with "academic" scholarships as long as they are top athletes) was mentioned to have paid a large portion of RM's $1 million contract. Believe Dr. C also helped out as the Fr. B paid about 1/2 and the big donors paid the other 1/2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Equal Time is demanded! If there must be a "Negativity" thread in an 11-18, 10-18 vs. D-1, 3-13 A10, 14th (Last) Place season, then there must also be a "Pollyanna" thread aka an "Ostrich" thread. In this way all reactionary denial can also be confined to one area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majerus mojo Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Reading the GDT this morning was way more entertaining than listening to Rammer and Earl last night. AlumniFan defiantly riding Crews' jock in the midst of the worst home loss in 20 years... not to Duke, Dayton, or God-forbid, VCU.. but vs. George Mason! They hadn't won a game by double digits all season, and came into the FETZ and laid waste. If you were not remotely embarrassed, surprised, etc., please pass the xany bars. "But so and so missed a jump shot! Is that on Crews?!" Great stuff. As an aside, only a couple people touched on McBroom getting zero PT. Ummm.. thinking if anyone trusts or knows the offense, it's probably that guy. We did almost break 50 without him though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're going to do this, let's at least do it right: 1) Individual players will continue to incrementally improve while the team substantially grows worse. No. Most individual players leave, and the starting five next year will all be walk-ons. 2) Tatum will commit to Duke in the fall after spending the day with the cameron crazies and realizing how utterly pitiful SLU's student section is in comparison. No. Tatum will commit to Mizzou and explain the reason is that Crews told him his strategy for substitutions involves a Ouija board and a crazy Eight Ball. 3) Milik will transfer because Crews continues to bench him for no apparent reason. No. Milik will transfer to Mizzou to play with Tatum because Crews forgot Milik was still on the team. 4) SLU will finish in last place again next season with no visible overall improvement. No. SLU will drop down to NAIA and get beat by the Gorlocks by 35...twice. 5) Crews will reveal in a post season press conference that he does not--in fact--have a "system," and consequently, will not be able to bring in anymore recruits. *(2015 recruits will revoke their commitments) No. Crews reveals his Ouija Board system and announces he has recruited three new players - one from St. Joes, one from Nerinx, and the other from Visitation Academy. 6) John Manning will receive an additional year of eligibility from the NCAA No. John Manning will graduate and be hired on as Associate Head Coach with primary responsibility for developing the offensive talents of big men. 7) Dr. Chaifetz will withdraw all personal funding for the University and move his talents elsewhere. No. Dr. Chaifetz will demand his money back. To pay him, the arena is torn down and sold for scrap. 8) Crews will subsequently be fired and Bronson will be promoted, ushering in a new era of Soderberg-esque mediocrity. No. Crews will be name "coach for life" at which time we will learn that through a freakish medical experiment, Crews really IS Brad Soderberg due to incredible plastic surgery and some really good lifts in his shoes. 9) Upon news of his HC's dismissal, Brett Jolly will transfer to the wash basin. No. Brett Jolly becomes the point guard playing each game in 2015-2016 for the full 32 minutes (only 32 minutes because each game is called after about 32 minutes due to the "mercy rule" 10) The clocktower will be demolished in order to construct a memorial of campus protestors. No. Chaifetz will be demolished and the University will be renamed Michael Brown University in memory of the protestors. There. I think I have got it all pretty much correct.

Neufeld will demand a release from his LOI. Next year's starting five will be Aaron Hines, Stephen Leazer, Royce Simpson, Elliot Welmer, and Sadie Stipanovich.

AlumniFan Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 you're a jesuit high school grad I'm guessing? I have no idea who Clock is, but the constant narrative that the private schools offer scholarships to poor kids just for sports is so incredibly off base. I get so sick of hearing this. The majority of kids who come from economically challenged areas (primarily the city schools) are not big time athletes, many of them (probably a majority) don't even end up playing on a varsity team. Whether it's CBC, SLUH, Vianney, MICDS, De Smet, Chaminade, etc., there is a constant effort at our reach to help these kids. If some of them turn out to be great athletes, that is fantastic, but the important thing is that they are receiving a very good opportunity to better themselves. The high schools definitely look for kids who are well-rounded and begin an athlete may be part of that, but so is being involved in other activities. It just so happens that at the grade school level sports are the most obvious activity that is easily identifiable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsmith19 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I was there. Grant Gym was as packed as I've ever seen it, but Fontbonne fans made up about three quarters of the crowd. Fontbonne shot the lights out--something ridiculous 12 of 15 from 3, and Webster helped them out by missing a bunch of free throws late. The Gorloks hung tough but ended up losing by 6. A SLIAC team has never won an NCAA tournament game, but last year's Webster team lost at the buzzer to Illinois Wesleyan. It's a shame they won't get another chance this year. And you're right about Gore and Lockwood. I've always been confused by the lack of a "c," but that's the way it is, damnit. PS: anybody who's sympathetic toward MB73's "making the Billiken more fierce" idea should see the redesigned Gorlok. Totally ridiculous. It looks like a buffalo on crystal meth. I'll take the old cartoon any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would believe that to be the case at a school like SLUH or Chaminade, but do you think CBHS is doing the same. I am shocked by how they managed to completely screw up such a generous gift that should have transformed the school. Although it is amusing to hear how much they are struggling financially, well deserved. At least their football and hockey teams are stacked.
