While all of the situations you describe are possible I have never seen them happen,on the otherside how many times have you seen shots like Kevin's tie games. I'm sorry but coaches who refuse to foul when the game is under 6 or 7 seconds deserve to lose.

I think Harry was there for a short time. Ekker's main assistant was a guy named Rick Starsisky {sp}.

Sorry about that . My computer has been acting up.

I ran into Harry at the opening of Chaefitz. He was on his way out and we spoke for a few minutes. He looked like he could still play. Skinny as a rail. In my mind he makes any and all SLU top five lists.

Bidwill is a jerk but back in the day he use to give money to the Athletic Dept. It was always done quietly. I don't know if he still contributes but the guy supposedly still suports St. Louis charities.

I think Brian will figure out how to score at the college level. Currently he just tries to power the ball up into bigger defenders. The good news is that he's getting fouled,the bad news is he can't get a field goal. All in all I think he's had a good freshman year.

I agree. Bills by 3.

I also wonder about how much time we spend on watching tape. If the NCAA limits the time you can spend on basketball how much of that is devoted to tape? I can invision RM droning on in the locker room when that time might be better spent shooting free throws. Don't get me wrong, I'm convinced Rick will take us to the promised land, but he does have his quirks.

I think bringing up the Clagget- Highmark class is a good point.

This is what I have stated for years. The reason we should be in the A-10 is for the next conference yet to be formed.

That could explain why he hasn't been playing. You wouldn't want to blow up the trade by Larry getting hurt.

Speaking of the NBA what's the deal with Larry Hughes? He hasn't played in about 6 or 7 games due to coaches decision. Larry makes 12+ million dollars a year and can't get off the bench. I thought he was having a decent year. I know his 3pt shooting % is way up. Hinrch came back from injury and Larry hasn't played. I know he would be hard to trade because of his salary but I still think he could help somebody.

I don't know how much or if anything Rick gets paid for doing a post game show, but I believe a lot of coaches get good bucks for doing radio.I bet if a big sponsor put up some big $'s you would have Rick every game,then the challenge would be to get him to shut up.

Roy you give them way too much credit. They are not that bright.

Come on Skip' What could be better than Larry Siiiiiiiiimoooooons. I'll say it again I have no problem with Guy. I don't get the hate.

Siaus was before Owen in the Ecker/Grawer days. I'm sorry but Owen is about as exciting as watching paint dry. He has a good voice but no excitement.

Hey Joe I just read your review of the 10 best new restaurants in the Post. Good Stuff but I have a question. They are all east of 170.. Is that an accident or does that make some kind of statement about where new places need to be? You would think with all the money in West County there would be some outstanding new places there. Or maybe you just like coming into the city?

I'm sorry I just don't get the Guy bashing on this board. Went to the womens game ,now that PA individual was bad. Guy has a good voice,a sense of humor,and seems to be a good fan. My guess is he is handed a script by the athletic dept. which called for the national anthem. If that is the case I thought he handled it pretty well. Sure he makes mistakes but I'll take Guy over the deadpan Mike Owens this board seems to adore.

What I don't understand is how we pick our refs. Maybe this was done by the Vegas Tournament but I'm pretty sure those guys were from the East Coast. I know the tall black guy does ACC games and I've never seen the other two. It's Friday night why can't we get a Welmer or o"Neil or Roy's frient Pollard. You guys might not like them but their a damn sight better then last nights clowns.

I think it's simple. We have always been a little light on having good athletes. If most of the teams you play are bigger stronger quicker you need to muck up the game. Hopefully as we get better athletes like willie the game will have a better flow. We didn't have anybody like upstates #32. So for us to win we need to slow it down,work for good shots,play hard defense,kill the clock,in other words play ugly.

Rick said at the Tip-Off meeting that we were playing ND in Chicago. It must be like our game with DePaul,predetermined.

Chris Lee from the Post is there almost every game.
