Billiken Rich

Cool, now we can make fun of Shaw and get Terry Evans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

for the hope of a juco who qualifies??? I wouldn't.

You deserve them. They deserve better.

What if a young Col Sanders played football for Ole Miss???? Those are the worst mascots I've ever seen! What does the current mascot look like anyway?

I agree to a certain extent but I don't see turning down a healthy Evans for a stiff to be named later. Then again, all things considered, there are more than a few good reasons I'm not coaching the Billikens. Brad we must trust in thee! Lead us to the promised land!

I'd love to see a quality Banging brute in the fold but after several years with very few scoring options and big nonproductive (offensively anyway) frontcourt players, the luxury of another terrific scorer seems better than a vertically limited banger. Again if Terry is healthy and Shaw isn't comming I'll take Terry.

Admittedly taken way out of context!!!!!! I love you man, though we disagree.

I'm still wondering why the Golden Eagles had to stop being warriors. My God!!!!!!! Oh no, I just mentioned the supreme being! In a minute I'll be saying the pledge of allegiance!!!!! LIGHTEN THE HELL UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If Ian doesn't like it I'll desist. If you don't, tough. GO WARRIORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (as long as they aren't playing us)

I'm not saying we don't need a power forward. I am saying that I'd rather have a great scorer than a mediocre, short, power forward. Apparently you can have too many athletic wings ala UNC. Fine. If Shaw doesn't want to come here what then? I say take the best player available and hope to hell that JJ is the real deal. By the way, having another scorer may not help us against a Big Ten team loaded with bruisers but won't be meeting the Illini until the dance anyway. Evans and Liddell alone should get us past the Gramblings of the world.

Short power forward. I'll take Evans or Polk. I trust Brad a long way these days.

Can you have too many athletic scoring wings? If Shaw is heading to SIU and If Evans is projected to be healthy I say take Evans and count this as a hell of a recruiting class! For a team that had the best 6'3" CENTER ever in Donnie Dobbs just a few years ago we sure are spoiled on height these days. I think we can take Terry and still find room on the squad for Mr Litch. More importantly, I don't think you pass on Evans to possibly get a player in the future. Now if Evans is a Floyd Mcclainsian all betts are off. I say to the devil with Shaw if he wants to be our ***** :-) (Saluki of course) once every other year when we slap SIU.

34, SEMO grad (don't ask) BA History, college hoops fan, Insurance agent for 10 years. Rabid Billiken fan since my brother and dad (both SLU grads) convinced me that football wasn't the only winter sport--Spoons first year here. Dallas Cowboy fan.

It's a great quote. I'll wait until I get thicks response to the "Zorba" thread and perhaps incorporate that into my signature as well.

Nate I've never said it but thanks for the insight into the Post Dispatch. I'm certainly one to go off half-cocked and blame the paper for slight's real and imagined. I got thrown out of Bernie's Press Box for calling the paper the post disgrace there when Josh fisher was signed with no mention by the Post. Having said all that I think we'd all like the indepth inch thick sports page we had during the brief time when the Post was driving the St. Louis Sun out of business

Yep. My first impression was loud wrong. I'll admit it. I'm pretty impressed with Brad as well at this point. I almost wish we could skip this year and see Polk and Liddell right now.

It's been years since I've seen "Zorba the Greek" but I don't seen to recall him being an ax murderer. If Ian finds it offensive, that's one thing. If a few goofs on a message board find it offensive that's quite another. I don't recall who it was that said this is racist but who ever did say that I'd have to call a total goof. The last time I check their is no Greek race. If celebrating the ethnic heritage of a player is a problem then we are all in trouble. Did anyone object to celebrating AD's Albanian background last year? I seem to recall calling him the Albanian Agressor. Hey Thicks, Did you clear "Capitol D" with mister Clark? Btw Zorba is alot easier to type than Hippocrates.

I'm a good St. Louis lapsed Catholic aged 32 who eventually grew up and out of both soccer and the church. I played soccer in my youth and then moved on to football and baseball. I'll never understand the love of soccer. Like most Americans it bores me to tears. Get over it. Harkening back to St. Louis soccer in the 50's is like the people who talk about the 1904 worlds fair. Great. What has that done for us lately other than give Danforth's group a name. Onward and Upward!

Nice to see (other rhan the bit about the MVC)

don't expect to post about a glorious 0-0 tie and not expect some good natured ribbing. Soccer is a bad joke, foisted upon us by old europe.

BillikensSoccer.com or some such nonsense. Then you wouldn't have to deal with it at all. Kidding aside, the primary bent of this board has always been basketball. You may have to put up with some static if you want to talk soccer. Personally I hate soccer threads as much as you hate hearing what goofy sport you've mistakenly fallen in love with.

What a great score to illustrate the folly of soccer. If I had to endure freezing temps for a freaking tie I'd demand a refund of my ticket prices. I know football is in the same boat but even there I'd be in favor of a play till you win rule. Thank God for basketball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

deep throat. Don't do it at work! It's a porn flick from the 70's I believe. The other equally famous deep throat is Woodward and Bernstein's mysterious source for the info that brought down Nixon.

It's not like Liddell could be taking a pe course that wouldn't transfer to SLU. I, for one, wish everyone would shut their yaps about his eligablity. We don't know the academic situation. We also don't know what agreement He and Brad have come to regarding studies(everything I've heard about Brad suggests such an agreement) We don't know squat. We'll be happy to have him no matter what!
