Sounds like that had the potential of being the original “Situation” - it could’ve been ground zero of SLU scandals.

Oh girlfriend, please... Where are your cries for banning this post? Or is it just another example of your hypocrisy? You have so much respect for Steve that you have a long history of REPEATEDLY violating the rule. You want me to go back into the archives again and find some of your posts

It sounds like several of your teammates will also remember fondly the trip to Peoria Thanks for sharing.

Where are the cries of "no politics" from BBF?

That won't go well - especially if there are hats involved.

I hope so. I think he is a key player who doesn’t get talked about much. My biggest concern about this team is the defense- and I think he can help with that and several other areas.

Brown’s absence is concerning.

You didn’t mention Dion Brown

Will any of the board insiders be able to sneak into Chaifetz tomorrow for the Iowa scrimmage and give us a report?

Nice! And he was the leading scorer with 19 points!

Please no political talk on the board. Lock this thread!!

So they just copied and pasted from the same boilerplate leadership description as you did. Amazing!

Ha! Correct, it’s ridiculous, isn’t it?

He’s a tool!

I started this thread last year a few weeks before we hired Schertz. My basic premise was that there are challenges facing non P6 programs like SLU MUCH bigger than Travis Ford or who the AD is. SLU could do everything right - get rid of Ford and replace him with a coach who was considered one of the best on the market (check). And replace May, which I would be fine with, and get the best available AD, but the MUCH bigger challenges facing SLU will remain unless the college basketball landscape changes. I was happy to hear Schertz recently beat the same drum for the expanded tourney field. Every program that in the past was considered a "mid major" program should be rallying behind this. I think it is THE most important issue and best path to keeping mid majors viable, instead of being relegated to "low major" status. The Rick Majerus run that we all enjoyed could not happen in today's college basketball. Here is what Schertz said on the radio and to Hochman... Schertz wants it expanded to a 76-team field — 52 automatically seeded and then 24 teams in 12 play-in games. So 12 plus 52 gives you the standard 64-team bracket. He believes it’ll make the regular season even more meaningful and, thus, competitive. And it should get conferences such as the Atlantic-10 more bids than just the annual automatic win for the conference tourney champ. “If you look at the last five years,” he said, “the high majors and power conferences are doing everything they can — and it’s in their self interest, which I understand — to monopolize the tournament and get as many bids as possible. Why is that? Because money. The more bids you get, the more units for your league, the further you get, right? So they’re not going to open up more opportunities for mid-majors to get in.”
