Fuoking HATE Mason, literally the most useless a$$ athletics program. Two A10 Championships since they joined the conference. And it was in softball and baseball last year. https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/40058938/georgia-pitcher-suspected-cheating-vs-sec-foe-texas-am

I’m here for Old Guy’s face turn.

My qualification is beat writer. But you're right.

Truth. I do think Schertz has settled on Stu as "his guy in the media". I gotta imagine Stu also likes that he doesn't have idiots like us MBMs in his twitter mentions asking him to do something.

Pizza craftsmanship is a fusion of culinary artistry and tradition, where every step, from dough to toppings, is executed with precision and passion. It begins with the dough, a symphony of flour, water, yeast, and salt, kneaded to perfection and left to ferment for depth of flavor. Then comes the sauce, a harmonious blend of tomatoes, herbs, and spices, simmered to just the right consistency. Toppings are carefully selected, sourced, and sliced with care, ensuring each ingredient contributes to a symphony of flavors. Finally, the pizza is baked in a blistering hot oven, where the dough transforms into a crispy yet chewy crust, and the cheese melts into a golden blanket, sealing in the essence of each ingredient. Pizza craftsmanship is not just about creating a meal; it's about crafting an experience that tantalizes the senses and leaves a lasting impression on every palate.

I don't think Ford was giving him the recruiting bytes, though. Even if he wanted to cover recruiting.

You clearly don’t know where I stand.

He doesn't want to be a sports beat writer, that's obvious. Looking back at the Ford era in hindsight it's a lot easier to understand why Stu might have really lost any interest in making more than a bare minimum effort to cover SLU. It's not like the basketball operations were an open book, now that they are Stu is being given stuff to write about and cover. I'd imagine it's not a ton of fun just sitting around doing nothing even if the alternative is a job you don't really care to do.

It would certainly be nice if things have changed in terms of operational attitudes. I really hope things have truly changed for the better. The outward signs are there. The questions about internal operations culture are still there. There are obviously still questions on which student athletes can take advantage of the "free meals" provided by the Champions Center.

Funny way to spell Josh Schertz.

If you search around on the interwebs you should be able to find "Paywall bypass" site

It's great to have a head coach that understands the importance of an open line of communication with the media and fans. A guy who's not afraid to talk about tough issues in a nuanced and delicate manner. Good article about Schertz's Jewish heritage and faith in a world where the Jewish/Palestinian tensions are at an all time high. https://www.stltoday.com/sports/college/slu/slus-josh-schertz-offers-perspective-on-his-jewish-faith-and-gaza-protests/article_85eb2b10-08a5-11ef-be81-ebd837799143.html

Your saltiness isn’t lost on us. Where else would one go to find up and coming coaches and players than a poverty league who has to find and underpay diamonds in the rough to win.

Safe to say they will not be Nike branded. Think about the jerseys that were available to buy the first year of Chaifetz. They were very faithful knockoffs. Same kinda thing.
