I loved Fr Stark. It sounded as if he had the voice of God. But mostly it was because he came to my local parish to help say the funeral mass of my father who passed when I was at SLU. I will never forget that.
I did not really know him, but my daughter did. He performed the wedding ceremony for my daughter and her husband.

Thanks...30 years of being a season ticket holder and Bills Club member...also had a baby race entrant...Little Wiz
How did Little Wiz do? It seemed like at least half of the entrants never left the starting gate.

I've got 5 tickets for La Tech Saturday night. No charge

9 minutes w/o a FG. How TF does that happen? The HC should be able to design something to come up with a freaking bucket or two.
Remember, the legendary Coach Majerus and SLU hold the record for the fewest points in a division 1 college basketball game.

My philosophy is the exact opposite of this.
SLU in over 100 years has had three top ranked recruits, Macauley, Boushka & Hughes.
If we could keep one of those guys for 4 years fine, invest the money. We in no way need a top recruit to field good teams. Our best teams have had a collection of 2-3 star recruits. We don't need one NBA player, we need 5 guys on the roster capable of being Euro pros. You get 5 guys like that and we are winning A10 titles and making tourney runs. That is what we had with the good spoon teams and that is what we had with the good Majerus teams. These type of players are much easier to acquire. Simply ignore the top 50 STL recruits. We don't get any of them no matter what.
Where is Bob Ferry on your list?

It is now about 9 hours since the start of the Loyola game and there is no mention of a result on the SLU main page or on the Billiken app. I can only assume they lost so there is no reason to post information about the game.

I read an article on Few a few years back. He’s been offered by P5 schools but said money wasn’t much of a factor in staying at Zaga. He likes his life in Tacoma and is very comfortable. Money isn’t everything.
That's quite a commute

With NIL, Ford’s sizable recruiting prowess is devalued. Billiken Victory Fund is the recruiter, largely. Sure, you can’t be a jerk, but NIL does the recruiting work for you.
Therefore you need a coach who can teach players and strategize games. I don’t know who that is, but I’m confident it isn’t the present coach.
I appreciate all the work he has put in and definitely wish him well wherever his future endeavors lead him.
If the NIL does the recruiting, then how about put the money it would take to buy out a coach and hire a new one and put it in the NIL and hire good players? (Not my original idea, but Frank's on Channel 5). All the money that would be needed for a new coach would do a world of good to get better players. I wonder how many of the "voices for change" on here have ever or will ever contribute $25 to the Billiken Victory fund.

I would have assumed that the numbers hanging are retired numbers. But Jimerson wore #24. Are the other two retired?

The subjective narrative notwithstanding, the 3rd highest winning percentage in SLU Men’s Basketball coaching history since 1947-48, behind only Ed Hickey and John Bennington, says otherwise.
Amen!!

Collins no passes, 16 foot contested jumper
After that shot, I thought I heard quite a few boos from the crowd.

A map was posted somewhere here today that showed Texas Tech as one of a few teams in the country that had not won a conference game.
Guess what. TT was losing at home by 23 in the second half and came back to beat #13, first place, Iowa State by 3 in overtime. You never which team is going to jump up and bite you on a given night.

The Creighton - St. John's game last night at Creighton was $1 beer night. Doubt we will ever see that.

In the GW-St. Joes over time game, GW had one foul in the second half and overtime. How can that be?

Jimmy Bell Jr. had 15 tonight as West Virginia took down TCU.

Thanks Wiz!!! Merry Christmas to all.

My wife's alma mater, so we can both say we went to SLU.

Marquette beat #6 Baylor by 26, 96-70. I guess Marquette is not in our league.

I wonder how many other large public school's athletic departments are in the red.

I have not tried to go there, but my impression was that the room next to it is reserved for bigger Billiken Club members, but that 1818 was open to everyone during games

I don't think SLU retires numbers, but they hang jerseys of special players. Number 24 is already hanging at Chaifetz
