I'm with you. I was just being a smartass.

copper has more usage than gold

So I guess by your standards 90-95% of the NBA players are not successful.

Are there salary cap/slot reasons for this?

Three Sunday games is December. I am not an NFL guy so I like it . i

I don't know about Slaten but Frank will end up somewhere if he wants it. Slaten was not on mainstream radio for years. I doubt if he is in much demand. Maybe some right wing political station.

You won’t catch me watching. Saw it on ESPN.com.

Reed Sheppard of KY going number 3. Very talented player but I don’t see him as being a star. Too small and not that quick. But I guess you could have said that about Curry. Seems like a pretty weak overall draft with the exception of Bronny

One of the best views in baseball.

So why do you bother to post. His father played for SLU. He's from St Louis. He went to a game last year. His mother went to highschool with Kshoe. He likes Imos pizza. End of story.

How am I raggin the program? You have lost me with this post.

I don’t disagree with anything you say but it is all conjecture. I was hoping you had some real knowledge and don’t take that as a criticism. I am just not sure their is anything going on from our side besides hope.

I think your take is wrong. The Chair happens to be a huge basketball fan. That is a positive if you care about the program. I truly believe the hiring of Schertz goes to May but if you can get help at the top that is a big plus. I also believe this whole BOT narrative let by Roy is vastly overstated. May and Fred are driving this bus with some help by the chair who happens to be a huge fan. MO s Board of Curators just got involved with their Athletics. Cost them an AD. Let’s see how that turns out.

I like to think I am fairly tapped into what’s going on with our program. You make several statements which I would hope might be true but I had not heard any rumors about. Have we had any conversations with the Beast or is that just your conjecture? If you have knowledge about a list of conditions I would think that is a huge positive. If there are any discussions I would be thrilled but I have serious doubts.

Not disagreeing with anything you said but the Chair of the BOT was actively involved in the recruitment of Schertz.

First of all I don’t think many on this board gives that much of a sheet about baseball except in the overall context of our athletic department. Do you really think Chaifetz or Kavanaugh care about baseball. Should we upgrade our baseball facilities? Of course . Is it a big deal for our program? No. For good or bad May is driving this bus and no one else. If there is a pecking order I would think bringing back field hockey from Sportport would have priority.

What is a water-basedfield?

Because soccer is a big deal in St Louis. College baseball is not.

You make some good points about tax liability. I would hope the Athletic Department or the Billiken Victory Fund have advisors for all of these players not only the stars. I know the BVF has at least one lawyer on its board. Someone needs to make sure these players have enough cash to pay whatever tax bill they will have. Even NBA players sometimes have a problem with this.

He needs that as he walks across the parking lot from his apartment.

While these numbers don't blow me away the names are much better then last year. No Southeast NorthSouth State University.

Most are and there are tax considerations. I guarantee you SLU endowment money is not going to go to the athletic department. Look at Webster U. School is going broke having defaulted on their bonds. They needed special approval from some donors to transfer some of that money to pay some bills. Without that approval that money could not be used. Endowments have policy guidelines.

OG . You said something that is wrong. Endowments are eternal and should not be drained. Endowment income is not and should not be used to support athletics. Endowment principal should remain intact with income available for academic purposes.

The one I would like to see come back is Triangle and Too. I found him very amusing.

If my old memory serves they waived off one of his field goals as a dunk. Called a turnover not an attempt.
