Thats not what Cheryl said at the last meeting. Currently coaches offices are not in the arena.
-
At the last tip-off meeting Cheryl said the arena did not have offices but she was still trying to push for them. Does anyone know who is responsible for the design. Is it a committee? Is it the provost Wexler? Does it go all the way to Biondi? I know the board will have to sign off on it but who recommends it to them.

Charter will do Tv. 590 is radio. ESPN has the A-10 contract and we won't be on till we win.

Easi is being bought by another company for 43+. Shanahan has a lot more money then he had. Maybe he will bump his $1 mil. contribution to the arena.

Backward fellow aren't you a little old to be watching young girls in tight shorts playing volleyball. On second thought that sounds pretty good. Save me a seat.

I had an opportunity recently to ask Brad about Leonard. He said he didn't know where he was. He also said that Steiner the DeSmet coach didn't know where he was. He said he was puzzled by the whole situation.

If you got rid of that crystal set and bought a real radio you could get it.

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.

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.

Thanks I gave him your name. The buyer is an assistant coach at Alltoff who I guess wants to watch Kevin.

Unca did you ever sell your 2 extra tickets? I've got a buyer if they are still open.

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.
-
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.

When Stewart was Rich's assistant I always though he was nothing but a gym rat and felt we could do better. Little did I know he has[got] a PHD and becomes a superintendant.

I'm pretty sure you can get a flag from the alumni office. Call Meg Connolly.[sp]

Hey Roy ---- Pretty good numbers for a fat guy who can't play.

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.
-
I think Coleman might have been at Beaumont before he became Randy's Assistant.
-
You are correct.

I am also for keeping V. We got rid of Joe Mc Carthy a lot time ago. No censorship. I wish Too would come back instead of everybody saying the same thing time after time. Too vs. V. That would be a good debate.

Maybe they go there to see Heather Hawk????

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.

You may see a bridge loan from Us Bank but the plan has always been to issue Muni Bonds. Previous SLU paper has been rated AAA. Based on current markets that will cost the university about 4.5% for the next 30 years or 1.57 mil. per year. That number seems managable.

Roy all I can tell you is she said in direct response to a question that coaches offices were not in the arena's current plans. I can also tell you the Billiken club board of directors are trying to lobby Biondi to include them. So far he has resisted.
