I feel like you have created an algorithm that waits every 10-15 posts and then uses somewhere between 150 - 1,000 words to basically say: - Nothing has been determined, criminal or title IX - We have no idea when something will be determined - Nobody on this board knows anything - The school has no concept of expediency on this topic. I'll check back in 10 posts to see what your next version says.

Hope springs eternal. We need to hope that UConn can't figure out its football situation and that the WSU addition to the AAC keeps them there. PLUS we need Coach Ford to work his magic. SLU would be the perfect 11th team.

....pretty sure we've swept the whole thing under the rug. party on

I don’t care if the baseball and soccer teams play on the top of the Compton deck if the basketball team goes to the tournament every year.

We are not done recruiting for the 2018 class.

I agree that was an odd statement. In some ways college basketball is moving towards the college football model of play 12 games total, 8 against conference opponents, 3 against patsies and 1 against a decent non-conference opponent. As long as you and your conference mates don't lose a crazy number of those early season games you all can just rest on the conference's perceived strength and claim when they lose to each other that they are just losing to good teams. Since the other schools never actually got a chance to play the P5 schools how would anybody know if they are good or not. One of the nice things about college basketball was that the first half of the season was all about figuring out which conferences were actually good (instead of just reputation based). This is slowly going away.

I knew Rhode Island was recruiting well but I didn't know they had a better class than SLU (at least in some people's eyes). My two cents: Gordon is being slept on nationally due to his injury plagued AAU season. I think he will be the best freshman in the A10 next year, and that it won't be close. http://www.a10talk.com/ranking-atlantic-10s-2018-recruiting-classes-far/

They have to use AC/DC's Back in Black when they break out the black unis.

Being the the top ranked class in the conference one particular year isn't important. The key is stacking good classes on top of each other.

I'm aware they're columnists, not reporters. You say their job is to provoke thought. I find neither to be thought-provoking in the slightest. The primary "feeling" I get after reading an Ortiz article is strong feeling that I just wasted 10 minutes of my day. So in that sense he's doing a good job. Hochman seems like a nice guy who is well intentioned, I just find his writing to be utterly devoid of anything in the way of analysis or thoughtful commentary. You asked that I provide facts which which they got wrong, but I cannot do this given that both seem to be allergic to including anything resembling facts, statistics or informed insight. it is clear that Ortiz fashions himself a hot-take artist, here to stir up the pot and provoke controversy. I'm certain he admires the likes of skip bayless and clay Travis. That's not my cup of tea personally but I'm sure he would be glad to hear you enjoy it.

KU put on the tickets in bold that this is a one time deal only. KU will not play the slavers until 2025. Though, KU should be playing SLU every year just to piss Mizzou off.

I hate this board

I didn't say that either. There are numbers between 1 and 10. You don't have to chose one or the other if you like 5 or 6 better. Calm down

If I give you a free t-shirt will you eventually be on my team?

stfu... you're the king of garbage posts

So I noticed all the facility "upgrades" and it's like putting perfume on a pig. Herman Stadium looks like a ten year old asked grandma to order Fatheads for the bedroom to decorate. Looks cheap and tacky, like Chris May. It's pathetic! We are losing people to local Division 2 schools because they are run better and this is the best we can offer them on stadium "upgrades" I sure wish people would wise up. When SLUH has a nicer facility than the college it shares the same name with, well that's just sad. Whoever dressed that place up sure has a good sense of humor. Perhaps dummies need to be bought and spread around the arena seats to make it look like crowd fillers that way it will look as though people are actually coming to men's soccer games and Chris May can have more friends at the game that support him. Seriously folks am I the only one on here that's embarrassed for this man's desperate attempt to improve our facility?
