I agree that they are an elite program. To say that Kevin and Tommie aren't good enough to play there is rubbish.
-
I hope we get another shot to beat that elite program......
I don't see Illinois in the sweet sixteen. Maybe my bracket is off......
You are funny. I'm guessing that this board other than the lunatic fringe has never hated Illinois because the trash talk has been kept to a minimum.......

Faulkner was a really, really, depressingly awful author. Read, "The sound and the fury" if you don't believe me.
In answer to your list, I'd be willing to bet that there are hundreds of cases like this faced by every college coach in America. How did Illinois and SIU miss out on Lisch and Liddell...........
Fans using internet rumors, innuendo, and the like to hammer a coach is their lot in life. Brad really needs to (or needed to) recruit some forwards immediately or win a couple tourney games without them next year to shut us all up.......
-
Don't forget Issac O'hannon and Ian Voyukas and Drew Diener and Ryan Lucktefeld.......

You are a "GOP guy all the way???" I may have to rethink my political affiliation. If Mccain wins the nomination I'm going off the board anyway.....
Run John Run (Kaisich that is)

N-I-M-R-O-D
nimrod
I can even use it in context!
Metz is a nimrod.
Thank you and good night!

ba-da-bump-bump-bump-another one bites the dust........
Maybe we should stop aiming so high. There have to be some 6'0" to 6'6" forwards out there........
(and if Stemmler isn't that then the rumored promise to dustin that we're done recruiting guards this year is broken)
I hope Luke hits the weights and Gimpy Ikeakor can walk fast.....

Less so than your spelling bubba......

Dang, I missed it. That'll teach me to actually work a few minutes while I'm at work!.

Kind of like progressive liberalism?

Two words:
Matt Shaw.
-
I'm not saying he was a great player, mearly that he could've been our best power forward this year. I'll always miss his one handed freethrow style that he'd try from time to time........
-
this year. If you remember his senior year, he'd bulked up quite a bit and while not exactly great, did more for the Bills than, say Newborne this year. Make fun of Simmons before you start making suck you jokes, tough guy.
-
I do agree that the finish to the season is overshadowing an otherwise decnt year. The boys finished about where I expected then to, getting much more than I'd hoped from our terrific freshmen. The thing that is of more major concern than the finish, is that our next recruiting class is.....Dustin. While we desparately need another shooter, our frontcourt is pathetically undermanned. IV, Bryce, Obi, JJ, will not cut it in this league. IV (and Bryce strangely) don't worry me. Our forwards right now though are a guy who hasn't played ball as a red shirt or his senior year in high school and JJ the pine riding enigma. Obi maybe great but it's been a long darned while since he's played real ball. I'd expect a bit of time might be needed for hime to adjust.
This isn't the first time in Billiken history that fans could ask a coach, "Where's the beef?" I used to tease my brother that SLU needed to call Rent-a-center to get some help. Rent-a-forward anyone?

Ticket Brokers in general seem to be slightly lower on the Sleezometer than payday loan companys and rent-to-own shops.
-
You also aren't likely to go to any school that isn't in the final four this year.....
-
Given his age and tolerance for dissent it may be a death warrent but what the hey
Anyone second?
-
And you'll be a better man (assumption on my part) for it..........
-
Gregory owned brad but where as brad can't find a power forward Gregory can't find a point guard. Put both teams together and it'd be the stuff of legends.
-
Self "styled." At least thats the way they used to describe tin pot dictators and the like........
-
Who recruited the players?
Who set up the offense the players must work within?
I agree that nobody had a decent game except Ian but the coach has the responsibility. Who among US didn't see the lack of a power forward as a major liability.....
Does anyone think we could use a Tony Twist style enforcer to keep the goons off our scoring line????
-
If Brad cannot put together a fairly decent tourney run with Ian as a senior then shame on him. If he can't do that AND comes up with a recruiting class that isn't first rate (by SLU standards) then I'll start sharpening my ax. I still say Brad gets a pass for his first scratch recruiting class. However that class is gone now.
-
Right. If you think we are the biggest cry babies you don't get out much. If you don't like that tag line for Brad how about, "Come play in our run and gun, motion offense" Sure those 14 and 19 point explosions both first halfs against St Joes were aberrations. Of course they were
-
He was excited about VN too..........
We shall see. I hope there is some help coming be it Obi or elsewhere. Obi and Stemler??? Maybe one more???
The OFFICIAL Missouri hatred poll
in Billikens.com Main Board
Posted
Asuming that Aldens situation doesn't result in Missouri not hiring Anderson from UAB, How many Billikens.com posters are willing to give Missou another chance......
1) I'll always hate MU due to their horrific fans and the utter classless of the inept and corrupt organization.
2) I thought (till charter-plane-gate) that Quinn would make it harder to hate the tigers but now see 1 above.
3) Anderson is a class act but will need to strip away layer after layer of corruption, ineptness, pomposity to make the Missouri program as a whole a class act. Ultimately he will fail and be consumed.
4) Anderson is a class act but will need to strip away layer after layer of corruption, ineptness, pomposity to make the Missouri program as a whole a class act. Ultimately he will succeed after a few short decades and Missouri will reclaim it's past glory.....
5) Quin is gone, I'm (back perhaps) on the Missouri bandwagon.
