I think you are right on. Who knows maybe Rammer switches stations.

Tip-Off Tonight at Humpries at 6pm.

Whether you like the guy or not you have to agree that he is a hell of a pitchman. There was not a kid in St. Louis who didn't want to drink High 5 because it contained Zink. The guy can sell. He was far and away 590's top revenue producer.

This whole tread has been misleading. Kim Tucci is still the president of the Billiken Club. What was announced was Mary Alice has resigned as the president of the Tip Off Club. The Tip Off Club has no real authority but is more of a social club. The Tip Off Club's first meeting is scheduled for Sept. 9th.

I think this is a huge point. If RM is the coach I think he is he will figure out how to get them more shots, and still stay in his system. This team will go as far as they can carry us. I thought RM gave them more freedom latter in the year and I would hope they have even more freedom this year. We'll see how long it takes for Tommie to get a clear out.

Iggy . Let's make a bet. For every game we finish over 500 you give me $10. For every game under 500 I'll give you $10. I'll be a sport and give you $10 if we finish at 500. Deal?????

Kim has been the president of the Billiken Club since it's inception. Just maybe he decided it was time for some new blood. I'm sure his support for the program has not changed. This man is involved in many activities. He's not a spring chicken,maybe he wants to lessen how many meetings he goes to. To my knowledge he is still a member of the Universities Board of Directors.

Mrs. Yates was the best field hockey coach SLU has ever had.

Ron Ekker-Father O'Connell & Father Fitzgerald. Very high interest rates which almost broke the university to the point that there was zero money left for athletics. We had practically no endowment money and a bunch of short term debt in a high interest rate enviroment.

Larry Albus was a visionary. He invented the big name doubleheaders which brought together regional powers to play in St. Louis. These doubleheaders were the forerunner to many of todays tournaments. He had UCLA play NorthCarolina State[with David Thompson] in one game and SLU play somebody else in the 2nd game. There were other games like this but I'm too old to remember who played whom.

I heard from someone who might know that the schedule is suppose to be released tommorrow.

Don't we want to wait untill they have been cleared by the clearinghouse?

Oh come on. How can you diss Lebron. He's the best defense attourney in the State of Ohio.

I've heard that Rick has an Australian recruiting trip coming up.

I was listening to Frankie's radio show as I was driving to a meeting. It was his roundtable show with Rich Grawer and Tom Holley. Someone called in and asked if all of SLU's freshmen would be eligible. Franks quick answer was "yes they are all here". Someone also asked about open practices and all 3 said no one has open practices anymore. In part they blamed the internet where everybody knows everything. I do wish they would have a few open scrimages so Bauman, Skip and I would know whats going on.

Perez should get a chance to close now. Give him the job for 2 weeks. Can't be any worse than Izzy/Franklin. If he can't do it you should have Wainwright available.

I agree with your numbers for Lohse,but I don't think they're realistic. I think your going to see more like 60 for 4,and that might be low.

I'm not sure I agree with your statement. While we don't have a Mike Hampton contract we certainly tied up a lot of money in Molder,Carpenter and Edmonds.

I was listening to some baseball show and they calculated that we had 30 mill. coming off contract. This does not take into account that Rick Ankiel can go to arbitration and that will cost many millions. I believe Carp and Wainwright both bump up a few mill. No matter how you clculate it they will have over 20 million to spend, plus the money they didn't spend this year. Let's hope Mo spends it well.

We will just call him Hop Along.

Now why would you want to know how Justin Johnson looked??????

Corey Frazier and Jamall Walker are very good friends. Maybe he sent him to Murray as a favor to Jamall?

I'm not questioning your numbers or what the Post said but many sources said that our recent Cub game was the most attended game in the history of the new Busch.

Thicks my guess is that Rich Nieman[mid 60's] spent more time playing proffessional basketball than any Billiken not named Larry Hughes,Bob Ferry or Easy Ed.

Suite holders and party rooms can be expanded. If you own a suite you are contracted to by x seats with the option of buying x more. For the game you are talking about most owners picked up the maximum seats they could buy to see the Cards -Cubs. Don't forget World Series ticket prices are out of sight.
