Mike used to do the color for the Billikens but if memory serves me, he had to leave the broadcast booth because he was Bonner's agent and there was a conflict of interest problem.

Gee, I was not aware that she has her own radio program...I thought she was honestly answering questions posed by a couple DJ's from a St. Louis radio station on Kurt's hope for the future. Obviously, neither KW or Brenda think that he is washed up and there is much differing opinion on the subject from the Rams fans. Frankly, I still believe that we will see Kurt on the playing field before the year is up, as Bulger hasn't shown that he can hold up over an entire NFL season yet.

I would appreciate it if anyone getting to the bookstore soon could pass the online URL to us out of town fans. I could use some new Billiken gear. Just bought some UT Vols gear at a local mall store in Tampa, but they don't carry many schools outside of the Florida colleges.

Tseugnekillib, I agree with you about getting the practices started soon. Some of the most recent posts have been a little off the wall to say the least.

Nark, Thanks for the heads up on another moron slamming SLU. You'd hope that Ramsey has more sense than to go on the A-10 website and diss the Billikens. The information this person cited was bogus and thanks for setting those people straight.

I don't think anyone will argue the point that the MVC is a nice mid major basketball league and has a secure place among mid majors. SLU has long since passed the desire to be a mid major and that is a major reason why I believe the Billikens will be playing in the A-10 if CUSA does implode due to anticipated defections to the Big Least.

Glad to hear Rammer explained where he stands today. I think that he has done a good job on Billiken basketball, but I don't know that he has any strong feelings towards the program. My feelings are as stated last week...SLU is a paycheck for him.

Shesh...I'm not going to get all riled up about any the sky is falling conspiracy theories about what may or may not happen with our basketball future...what St. Louis has is basically a lazy and p!ss poor media. I have every confidence that we will land on our feet when all this conference shuffling is final, and there has been nothing concrete to indicate that the arena won't be a reality in due time.

I saw that Arse beating that we administered to the Trojan's in Spoon's 1st year. It kind of gave us and indication that the Bills were on their way to becoming a good team...next year they were ranked and went to the Big Dance.

I agree that this is very good news for our Billikens.

I don't know about that as we have gotten home and home with the likes of KU and the Illini in the past. I don't think your argument would hold water.

I would also not put the Cornhuskers of last year in a quality win status...hells bells...I even saw USF handle the Huskers last year.

IMHO all SLU is to Ramsey is a freakin pay check and nothing more.

Basketbill, Please show us his response if you do receive one, and I agree with you too.

Only problem is that as buy games, you would only attract the bottom feeders of the MVC. We have played the SMS and SIU games on a tradeoff on home games and I am sure if we did start playing Creighton, it would be on a home and home contract basis.

Yes and I am positive that he knows nothing about Jameer Nelson. I got to see him last year in that 1st round OT loss to Auburn and he put on a clinic.

No way that the MVC compares favorably on the basketball front to the A-10.

Maybe you will get your wish on ND. This morning I woke up to the local Sports station who runs the ESPN radio feed at that early time slot. They had a report about the Big Least inviting Cincy, Louisville, Marquette, and DePaul. They also said that there is a report that the A-10 will invite Notre Dame and that will make the A-10 a 12 team league...noticed that there was no mention about the Billikens or Charlotte getting an invite into the A-10. Just goes to show that I still don't think any of these hacks really know how these dominoes will finally land...it's still all conjecture and speculation. Just remember how the ACC announcements ended up...not how they were first reported. In other words sports fans...stay tuned!

St Joes did have a nice team last year. I saw them play Auburn in the 1st round of the NCAA and I was very impressed with the team and their HC. They lost a tough OT game to Auburn. They will be a fun rival in the A-10 for our Billikens.

I don't recall any wait when SLU and MU moved into either the Great Midwest or CUSA. If the teams in the new conference warrant a bid the NCAA would waive that rule as they have in the past.

I think MU will be fighting like hell to make the Big Dance this year. Yes, they will find out how losing their meal ticket feels.

Agreed on the arena argument. Some supposed Billiken fans do not like the idea and that is their choice. The fact is that it will be built and this long time fan is overjoyed. By the way, I know a few Dayton Alums and I have been to their on campus arena. I can't tell you how old it is, but I know it has been over 20 years since I have been in that fine building. Funny, but I have never heard any of my Dayton friends ever whine about the upkeep of their arena which may be fully depreciated by now.

Is going to suck big time when they lose Miami and VTech. Adding the two football powerhouses from CUSA...Cincy and Louisville...NOT! won't help that league at all. I mean who will have the top football program in the Big (L)East, Syracuse or West Virginia...what a JOKE!

Thanks for the invite and kind words. I used to enjoy our friendly battles with Xavier back in the days of Pete Gillen. We had some good games the unfortunately for our Bills usually went your way and cost us some NCAA trips.
