  1. 550 has too much sports already. We would get lost in the shuffle. I'm hoping we go to 590 , but I can say that since I can get their signal. I think they would give us a coaches show to help them fill programing.

  2. Don't take this starting lineup stuff to seriously. It will change 50 times between now and the first of the year. When Brad threw out AD's name he laughed and said that Lisch had a bad shooting practice. I thought one of the more interesting things about last nights meeting was that Brad felt we may have lost a few games last year by playing a conservative style. The pack defense and slower pace allows a lesser talent to stick around and shoot the 3. When we play some of these teams I look for us to try and run and increase pace and possesions. While Brad is not crazy about the press{he thinks it's useless] I expect more ball pressure. I really beleive he doesn't want to play slow ball but has been forced into it by his past talent.

  3. I don't see how this can hurt us. Maybe we'll get a coaches show during the week instead of Sunday night. Maybe we will get a recruit from Fargo North Dakota who falls asleep at night listening to Bob Ramsey doing a Billiken game.

  4. This is the second national publication that has suggested that Brad is on the hot seat. I wonder where thet get that since most people I know think he is secure with his new contract and all.I would think he would have to have a terrible year,[5 or 6 wins] with turmoil for the hot seat to begin. I think we will surprise a lot of people next year. Our expectations are quite low.

  5. I don't think you should use Coleman as an example of a young coach succeeding at the next level. He was fired after one year for poor coaching and more importantly for running a poor program. He let Rick Frazier spend a year in college and not earn 1 credit. He would go down in SLU history as one of their greatest failures. It takes a lot to get fired after one year.

  6. I attended a SLU function over the weekend. An individual from the development office was there and he gave a pitch for contributing to the arena brick program. He stated that they had recently crossed the 20 million dollar threshold. I know some of had speculated on that number but that is the first time I had heard it officially announced.The matching grant is still in place. I am sticking by my prediction that ground will be broken in 2005.
