  1. Currently thus is a silly debate, but I bet if you went back to last years televised home games you would not find a drop in attendance. Show them all.
  2. Your point about timing is well taken. If I was Chris May I would call Peter McLaughlin[sp] of the Blues and take him out to lunch. Pick his brain for a couple of hours. I'm not a hockey guy but they have done a fabulous job of marketing that program.Yeah they win a little bit, but the perception of caring for the fan is unbelievable.
  3. Bauman,I agree with much of what you say. If it was up to me I would practically give away every unsold ticket. Bring your CYC team for $20 and get a soda and hot dogs for 50cents. Every person who paints their face blue gets in free. Promote-Promote-Promote. Rick Majerus look alike night,winner gets free food at Pappys. I know some people will argue that you can't give your product away. I disagree. When you start winning and your demand increases you can then increase prices,but for now get butts in the seats.
  4. I also was at the MAC for another function and stood at the door for 10-15 min. Best line was in answer to a question about how he liked Chaefitz Arena. He rambled on talking about how great the building is untill he got to the bottom line. THE FOOD SUCKS. Huge laugh. He did say he thought we would be a very good team by Jan. 2011. I just caught the end of an Ellis discussion and thought he hadn't given up hope.
  5. A couple of friends got them yesterday.
  6. To me winning would be top 1/3 of the A-10 every year. Making the dance at least 2 out of every 5 years. Roy John Wooden is 99 years old. I'm not sure who your perfect coach is?
  7. I agree with everything you say but I don't give a sh#t as long as he wins. Must be my old age but I'm tired of not winning. Roy won"t like this but all I care about is winning as long as it's done without cheating.
  8. As I posted last week Rich Gould said they were planning on showing games.
  9. Driving to work yesterday Martin Kilcoyne and Rich Gould were complaining that the Billikens were not opening up their first practice. Gould called down wanting to do something and was told he could not attend. They criticized the fact that the Billikens weren't creating Buzz. Gould did say that his station[KPLR] would probably be carring some of our games. Personally I miss the open practices.
  10. The poll is accurate,but would be more accurate if Mizzou was 54.
  11. Of course it's accurate. It has SLU above Memphis and Xavier. Works for me.
  12. Jeff Sagarin has written a college basketball encyclopedia. He ranks programs for their all time play. Our Billikens clock in at number 53. I think we can thank Eddie Hickey for our relatively high ranking. Take that Xavier.
  13. Somebody make something up. I'm tired of all this soccer crap. I heard Rick is hot on the trail of some Mongolian center who is 7ft -6 330 lbs.
  14. Who in the Hell is Chuck Liddell? The only Liddell I know is Tommie.
  15. I didn't know Tommie could dance.
  16. How can we talk about basketball? This is a football town. Every day I open up my sports page to read about Missouri football, You would think they are playing for a national championship with the coverage they are getting. Seriously I don't remember being bombarded like this in the past.
  17. So is Bob Ramsey.
  18. I think this board needs to take a deep breath and see what transpires. We don't know what's going on. I don't believe Rick would put the schools reputation at risk. He knows what type of school we are. Let this play out before we start a revolution.
  19. Margo runs the day to day operation but does not set policy or solicit money.
  20. Speaking of the Billiken Club does anyone know who it's director is now that Mark Wright has left?
  21. I'm surprised nobody said UMSL. Yes we played a road game at UMSL. We also played a road game at Wash U.
  22. Was that Billikan riding in the carriage?
  23. All I want to know is when is Albert Pujols going to hit a ball out of Busch Stadium? Then we can compare.
  24. Does anybody know what kind of salary Lindenwood might pay? $125k- $150?? Any thoughts?
  25. Some people on this board are always critical of the athletic department. This letter from Rick was a nice touch. Well Done.
