I wouldn't be surprised if Rammer becomes a full time 101 employee after the first of the year,

I don't understand why they don't have some kind of blue/white scrimmage. It would probably be good for the kids to have some kind of dress rehersal. It would help build some interest with the hard core and maybe a few students. I use to enjoy going to a few practices but understand why a coach keeps it closed. I'm not sure why they are closed to the media who might generate some buzz.

I've got $20 that says RM will not be through at 1pm. I place the over/under at 1:25pm. Seriously I'm happy to see that Rick is getting out a little bit. Tonight's program,tomorrow's lunch,MAC lunch next week. I would hope this is a trend but I doubt it. Once the season starts he will probably be scarce.

The possible breakup of the big east is why we should be in the A-10. If we have any chance of being a part of a new league we will need that eastern visibility. If we were part of the MVC we would be there forever. The A-10 is the best place for our next move.

I have felt all along that he should have kept Knollmeyer. The kid was a big body who I felt did ok in his limited time. You could have still taken Harrilson. Danny L is just an after thought.

Don't know the number but I imagine your talking a few hundred dollars per girl.

I took it to mean that they were trying to get the Bull's to play a game here.

Sorry for the out of town people but I would be thrilled if we went back to charter and they did as many games as they did a few years ago.

You could only trade him for someone who also has a high contract but doesn't necessarily fit that teams needs. The bulls have too many guards.

I guess they won't be able to trade him for awhile.

Rick was asked the direct question as to would anybody redshirt. He immediately brought up Willie's name as to someone who might benefit by a redshirt year. Rick then rambled on for 5 min., but I got the impression that if Willie would agree it was a real possibility.

Cheese how do you know May doesn't look good in a short skirt and heels? Have you seen him in one?

One other piece of info: Next year we are playing in a tournament in Chicago with Notre Dame and I think he said Iowa State.

6pm.

101 has the signal. 1380 has the talent. You might not like Slaten but his advertisers must. I don't think it is an accident that Frank is the only one on 590 that has a contract past the first of the year. As Frank would say I would be willing to bet you a milkshake as to which one goes.

Most people believe this market can't support 3 all-sport stations. The betting would be that 590 is the loser. Just let Frank and Ramsey go to 101 and we'll all be happy.

There really is not any difference. I think they keep the Tip-Off name in deference to it's history. For 40 years or more the Tip-Off Club was the only support group for the basketball program. It was run independent of the university,ran it's own membership,raised it's own money,had it's own checkbook. Sometime in the late 1980's the university thought this was a bad idea. The university and the NCAA wanted institutional controle. In a hostile takeover the Billiken Club was formed and the Tip-Off Club was folded in. I think they keep the name out of respect for some of the former members. It also provides some difference between basketball supporters and the rest of the athletic dept.

You can get info off of slubillikens,com.

I'm not trying to be a smart ass but it is the one single thing we can all do to support the program. I'm not sure if the minimum membership is $100 or what, but it's not that high. Booster Clubs have become very important in the support of college programs.

I think Steve should make it mandatory that anyone allowed to participate on Billikens.com should be required to join the Billiken Club. Seriously you should join.

Strickland also said that ticket sales were up 20%. Their marketing plans seem to be paying off. I give them an A for effort.

Roy, that is actually funny. Maybe they think Dec. 13 is a prime Christmas party night and they are trying to avoid evening conflicts. I kind of like the time. Go to the game then go out and do something.

Jimbo you have one weird sense of humor.

I think there may be some times when we will play a 4 guard offense, with Tommie playing the 4.

I believe it's the 21st.
