now that the real good bowl games are upon us I want everyone to check out tthe Sugar Bowl on Tuesday night. The University of Hawaii will open some eyes on the mainland. I hope they bring the mascot to New Orleans. He is Vili, the warrior, and is a show in itself. I met him at the Coconut Festival in Kapaa in October. He was very entertaining even without a game.

OT: The Return of Eddie Sutton
alameda bob replied to kevinfootes's topic in Billikens.com Main Board
I hope for my sake that RM brings the Billikens out here to play the Dons & St. Mary's Gaels some year and a lot of posters come watch so Bay Area Billiken & I can meet you all now that Coach Sutton has taken over at USF. I'm sure they are very well aquainted. According to Jake Curtis' article in todays SF Chronicle: "More than the (800 win) milestone, Sutton said he is returning because he enjoys coaching basketball. " I love teaching youngsters the game " he said". Does that sound familiar? -
You guys missed my point. Ike was no angel, just a great pioneer that helped start a new kind of fun for us younguns, that was called Rock & Roll. My running buddy from the 50's reminded me of the name of the place with the fence, the Club Imperial, a North St. Louis institution. Anyone else old enough to remember? Go see Check Barry while you still can. Then you can tell your grandkids about it someday. Peace and Love

December "Saint Louis Sports Magazine"

SF is 2nd, with more than NYC? Hard to believe I'd say. -
I will remember one of the pioneers of R&R in St. Louis and the world from the time I went to a nightclub in North SL that I don't recall the name of and saw the Kings of Rhythm. The place had a wooden picket fence down the middle of the room. Booze was served on one side, I was in the kiddie side and watched in awe as Tina rocked while about 8 months pregnant and Ike stayed in the background until his guitar solo. What a great place back in the late 50's, I'm sure could not happen today. I hope everyone attending the opening concert at Chafetz has a good time. Check out Peter Hartlaub's Awesomeness Meter in todays Chronicle at www.sfgate.com He says that "more than any other influence, your first concert determines your outcome as a human being"

Except for the too loud very annoying commercials, I liked listening to RM online. I remember his comment that he wanted his ACs to teach the team zone defense, because this team needs it & he doesn't know much about it. So he is not strictly pounding round pegs in square holes like I have read repeatedly. He does run off topic, but they are interesting quips like "I may be from Milwaukee, but if you don't like Bud Lite there is something wrong with you"

I can hear the interview as I type this....My brother saw RM at the JC shootout at Meramec JC yesterday. Call and ask him if he wants anyone from there?

1948 Billiken Basketball Team
alameda bob replied to billikenfan05's topic in Billikens.com Main Board
At least 2 great coaches I remember were on that team. DC Wilcott was very successful at CBC and Hank Raymonds coached at SLU and then up at Marquette with RM! There were probably others, but I don't know about them. Anyone else? -
Your boss is as old as me. One of my SLUH teammates went to BC and played for the Cooz. I remember seeing the Big O at that game. He was the best I ever saw.

be sure and give us your first hand impressions tomorrow kwijibo. I liked your Ray Meyer story.

Please do not compare any other of the remaining 49 states, with the possible exception of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, with Indiana's passion for the game. I have traveled extensively in my 44 years since leaving SL and know of what I speak. I remember back in 1961 when my teammate on the SLU frosh invited me to his hometown of Evansville to watch the semi-state weekend. I was astounded at the 4 teams I saw play, any would have easily won the MO Class L (then the large school division) state championship. I know this because my alma mater SLUH beat Bill Bradley's Crystal City team a few days later, and I was there. Everyone knows the Hoosier story, it could only happen in one place, Butler Field House.

The A Bomb has detonated. If you SL fans miss the autumn experience, do what I did when I was a SLU student. Head west on Friday night 120 miles, party till 2AM. Rise & Shine and head to Farout Field and you'll get that big time experience. Get home on Sunday in time to get a good nights sleep before class on Monday. The Tigers have been fun this year. And you have SLU soccer to get excited about when they are on the road beating everyone except OU.
