Bay Area Billiken

The Bronze Boot returns to SLU, where it belongs.

That was a tremendous, game saving Save.

It was a great soccer ️ Sweep for SLU. Bravo, both Billiken teams️

Does this scenario happen - Memphis to Big East in all sports, except football, which goes to the new PAC-12The Big XII so far is leaving a lot of Memphis affiliated money on the table.

Acrisure Invitational Pod Schedule, scroll down in article: https://www.desertsun.com/story/sports/basketball/2025/07/20/acrisure-series-college-basketball-event-includes-iowa-ole-miss-matchup/85271371007/ SLU plays Santa Clara at 4 pm Pacific on Thanksgiving Day, 11/27/25, on CBSSN, then plays either Stanford or Minnesota on Friday, 11/28/25, at either 4 pm (Championship) or 6:30 pm Pacific on TruTV. I suspect SLU stays in SoCal to play @LMU on Tues. 12/2/25, in the LMU return game of the home and home.

My first SLU game in person was 2/18/1978 at Kiel Auditorium. The Billikens of Coach Ron Coleman defeated Tulane 83-79. We sat in folding chair seats on a ramp from the stage on the North side. SLU players included #32 Ricky Frazier, Carl Johnson, Howard Jackson, Everne Carr, Mark Alcorn. The SLU Jazz Band played “Three Blind Mice” for bad calls by the refs.

I am wondering if the high level NCAA system is about to blow up. I don't think so, not yet, but it is at least within the realm of possibility. This being said, I still expect some deal with the College Football Playoff will be hammered out. Everything else trickles down from there.
