Billiken Rich

I got to see the game for one thing! With the freaking Rams here I don't get to see them often. It was also nice to see the 'Boys scrape a victory from the team that turned Kurt Warner back into a cart attendant.

Let's see. The 'Boys beat the Giants. The Giants slaughtered the Lambs. THE COWBOYS ARE BETTER THAN THE RAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOWHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd root for the Football Tigers against Notre Dame but I'd also be rooting for career ending injuries too.

Famine, plaque, death, war, and even soccer than the school of the tarnished dome. A pox on Notre Dame.

I salute your service to the greatest country on the face of this earth! That said, unforfortunatly there is no provision in the GI Bill for getting a life. If you're going out of your way for a soccer game (much less a women's soccer game) you could certainly use one. GO Bills!

Illinois (Especially when they are playing MU.) Anyone Playing MU. Anyone in CUSA not playing us at the time. Anyone playing Notre Dame in any sport. Seems silly but there are more teams I tend to root against. Given the time of year I'll throw in Anyone playing the Rams Dallas Cowboys (please Bill get Jerry to shut up and stay up in his box)

You've got to be kidding me. So much for the "college experience" If it filters over in to basketball rules as well all college sporting events will resemble Billikens games. Polite applause only, from the really elderly.

I'm not thrilled to see that! My greatest fear at this point: Hosting drake at the newly built 5000 seat Biondi Dome.

The only way to clean up college sprots is to remove the money, which obviously isn't going to happen. Enforcement is to only real solution and that isn't happening either. It's an ugly business.

Not playng the better quality teams in CUSA and the numbers will be closer. I don't want to be in the Valley but a home and home with TCU and Marshall and whatever other hideous football replacement schools Cluster****USA comes up with is equally revolting.

without Marquette Depaul Cincy and Louisville. Are you crazy? Cusa without the top tier would leave us, Memphis, Charlotte, UAB, and a bunch of teams that don't care much about hoops. Would memphis stay? Who knows? Who cares? I think the Valley is a better option if we lose those four. If we can keep Depaul or Marquette CUSA is a viable option. I think we've run down the Valley so often on this board that we can't ever see ourselves there again. We could find ourselves without a better option. Deal with it.

is this just more nattering from the negative nabob crowd? Don't get me wrong I'm scared Shiiteless (the Sunnis scare me too for the record) about realignment too. I just haven't seen anything in the past couple of days. Got my fingers crossed.

You just used Slu and marketing in a sentance that didn't contain the phrase f'd up. And you think I've got problems? My lovely wife will be at the game with me but there will be payback involved based on the date. Goodluck finding Mrs Right. Did you see the movie Diner? One of the charecters wouldn't marry his spouse till she could pass a sports test. Classic Stuff!

first Romaresque disaster. I reserve the right to change my .500 record prediction on the grounds that another freaking idiot may not get eligable. What with clemmons being unavailable, I wonder if Quin could use brandon. Plenty of time for the tigers to get him eligable. CRAPOLA

If you were, you'd realize that "enough time" usually doesn't ever allow for sporting events.

Let's See. Different recruiting class and different position. Losing Morris is a bummer but I don't think anyone ever saw Blake Ahearn as a possible point guard for the Billikens.

I could get him into for the right price.

My lovely wife will be with me but I guarantee I'll hear the question "Why the (Blank) would they schedule a game today?

We know he's out there. He just won't pop up so we can dispose of him once and for all.

Exactly what I meant! I have an unbelievable amount of confidence that you'll always be around to correct me .

Try that one (with apologies to Steve Martin for the paraphrase)

The shuckers and jivers in Columbia could care less about what I think. I do consider myself a man of conscience though. If Quin was coaching the Bills I don't believe I would renew my season tix. And Woolard would know my name from the emails and letters as would Fr Biondi. I wouldn't be standing around hoping for the best. Then again I may be a tiny bit closer to the slu program than you are to the tiger program. I assume you don't have season tix in columbia.

Maybe some man of conscience should start that trend....

My signature is too big as it is. If I put anything else on it it would be that quote from Alden. Is he smart enough to realize how that looks in print?

One of the few interesting moments in the movie "Blue Chips" was when a player comes up to the coach and asks if he transfers to a different school will his mom have to give up her booster granted job. If that's gray area then it proves just how lax the rules are.
