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.

CentFLBilliken, I read about it on Bernie's Press Box website. It was all about the fact that the Fox Sports website had a huge headline after the first Rams game against the Giants...Martz is a Moron! I believe Tim made reference to it that Sunday night (Steve Savard who does both the sports for the CBS St. Louis station and is the radio voice for the Rams). Anyway Savard ate Tim a new arse on his Sunday sports show for bringing that up. Frankly, I'm really wondering if Fox wasn't on to something, especially since Martz played most of that Giants game with a QB who had suffered a concussion.

I'm all for hearing about Matt Shaw making a commitment to SLU. He sounds like he would be a very nice addition to our recruiting class. Hopefully, things went extremely well with his visit to campus. Another good report on our current team. Seems like the consensus is the IO will be a key man along with Sloan and Reggie. It won't be long before the kids our practicing with Coach Soderberg and the rest of the staff.

Once again since I live over a thousand miles from St. Louis, I appreciate these reports. It's reports like this that get me pumped up for this season. We may surprise some teams on our schedule.

I'd put our chances of landing Master Tyler as very little from what I have read about this kid on this website and some others.

Glad to see that you are settling into the college scene. They do take hurricane's very seriously. In the brief time that I have been here, the Tampa area braced for a couple of them. I even got off work the last time. I was glad that Isabel did not hit Florida.

If we can add Liddell and Shaw then I believe we would have a nice recruiting class, and certainly something to build future recruiting classes. So far, I have been pretty impressed with Coach Soderberg's ability to analyze talent. He has a system, and I like the way he has gone about his business getting kids that can play in that system. I believe success for our program could be right around the corner.

I graduated from SLU in '71, and if my memory is correct, we won our 10th and final NCAA championship during my four years at SLU. It's about time to make it No. 11.

Bauman, Thanks a lot from this out of town fan for your report on the workouts. You've got me hungry for the real deal to get going, and it won't be long now...less than a month until regular practice starts.

Thanks a lot for your thorough report on this meeting. Glad to hear that the arena is still on course to be built. It also sounds like SLU is being very proactive in the conference shuffling.

TL sounds like the real deal and certainly a talent that we could certainly use. Here's hoping that he passes his entrance exam and commits to the Bills.

Suck as far as I am concerned!!!

OK so right now it looks like my only two chances of seeing the Bills on the tube here in FLA is Arizona and Marquette. I am going to look into a road trip to Atlanta to see the GA Tech game, so I will get an early look at the team. Too bad they won't be at a 100% roster for that game.

I sure like the collectively part of that comment.

It's only a verbal until the official signing period in Nov, and I think that Polk was a target by Coach Soderberg too.
