Billiken Rich

I don't think anyone said going to Duke was a mistake. I do think Carrawel would've been as highly regarded as AB had he stayed home and played for the Bills. I think this thread is fine on this side of the board but I don't care a wit about him since he wasn't a Billiken.

I hope to god you aren't really a graduate of SLU or a former SLU basketball player. If you are I hope you aren't really Newberry, who I remember as a nice little guard.

Mueller Mutual isn't licensed to do business in MO. Is it chartered in IL?

It all depends on your definition of "right" doesn't it.

That might be the gaudiest franchise name in history.

WOW! Lets bring up the Clarke/Ahern debate, too! People dissing SWMS and SIUC in comparison to the Bills at present are psychotic. Hell, my pathetic alma mater beat SLU last year. Don't get cocky though, I'm convinced that'll all be changing in the not too distant future.

The "Mighty Mox" is down to spumac affiliate and Rush. It's sad really. They used to completely dominate this market....

I hope you have broadband internet access if you live more than 20 miles from 590's tower after dark, because KMOX wants to be the "sports voice of Columbia" only.

I hope Brad is Rusty Wallace. I want the arena. I'll never see the coach's offices nor will recruits on visits. I'd say do the arena ether way. I would hope it is done in a way that will make recruiting easier for Brad.

7Pm? 10PM? Midnight? What day? I'll be there.....

If JJ can't break into the lineup this year, I'll be picking on him too.

I just can't see Danny brown as the odd-guard-out. Luke may be though, unless we're looking to Sloanify him...... Thanks for the info. I don't get the shot to see practise very often.

I was at that one too. It wasn't hugely attended but was worth the trip. Here's an idea. Guys Vs Gals. Throw the gals a bone and give'em Ian and JJ.....

I still think we should put the arena on the land currently occupied by the soccer stadium.

There were some who were upset that there is no "practice floor" inside the new building in addition to the game floor. I'd like to see the plan for the building as much as anyone but as someone without the means to make a large donation, I'll be content to wait, without nitpicking every phrase from the school for hidden meanings and inconsistancies.

The "sound system" in West Pine is just that. All sorts of uninteligable sounds come out of it. Human speech hasn't been among them since the Cleveland administration.

When the heck is it???

The $2 million Arch transportation system was financed by the Bi-State Development Agency. I think that was the last time Bi-State made a good investment.......

Hermann seems far too complete a soccer stadium in my book. As to athletic department budgets, I've no idea where we rank. Probably low given we don't have a football team. I'd guess that you haven't done the research, adjusted for football or not, comparing us to every team in the MVC. If you have I'll apologise......

I'm with Cheese. The only malaise here is self induced. Whatever happened to no news is good news? We've got the most exciting recruits coming in since Brad has been here. The arena is going to happen (not just a Roy Mueller pipe dream.) I'm confident Brad will find power forward worthy of the name in the form of Obi or a big to be named later. To obsess over things that you have no control of is an illness. During the Biondi years, and using the rest of the campus as an example, can you point to an example of a half-a$$ed building project? I can't, though I admit I'm not an expert. Looking at Herman Stadium as an example, I have to believe that the arena will be a palace.

A village is missing it's idiot.........

is scoring. Period. Late in the shot clock. Late in the game. Making the shot. IO couldn't do. Reggie couldn't do it. Ad couldn't do it. Luke couldn't do it. Ian couldn't do it. Be it Tommie, Kevin, Ian, Luke, AD, or whomever. If we can lose the empty trips late we can win some games. Last year, how many games did we lose with the ability to tie or win on the last posession?

Guy does bush league BS like making fun of names or kids playing at half time. I'd cheer if they gave the job to Phillip Hunt, or anyone else who knows the game, knows the Billiken players, and knows when the heck to shut up. Guy knows none of the above.

I could use a beer right now, though not a Busch. I missed the point of your last post. What the heck are you trying to say??????

We just don't notice because they aren't annoying bush league pinheads........
