Nark, You should post the arena link over there to let them know that he is full of ****!

I was there a couple of weeks ago and yes they do have Billiken blue. I thought the selection was pretty good compared to the past. They do still have a few items in goofy colors though.

If Father Biondi wanted us in the MVC we would be there with or without the media.

He didn't completely deny it. "Heisler said the Irish remain committed to the Big East as a member in all other sports. He said he can't say if White has had conversations with the ACC about other sports, but they haven't had any talks involving football."

ND and ACC agreement??? http://www.charlotte.com/mld/charlotte/spo...ges/6854899.htm

How could they start out 0-7 when they are currently 1-2?

Billiken Law in answer to your question: "I think you'd agree that going to the GMC was a great move for SLU at the time. Should they have been loyal instead of being proactive and bettering their program?" I think all but one of us knows the correct answer.

Thicks said, "I feel it could be a very good conference and will afford SLU every opportunity to bring attractive opponents to St. Louis, make the NCAA Tournament as an at-large team, and attract talented student-athletes to the program." An at large-team? Shouldn't we aspire to win the A10???

Life is too short to be that bitter Roy!

Roy, I am not 100% sure on the history here but didn't we kind of leave Xavier out in the cold when the GMC started, and didn't we leave Dayton out in the cold when CUSA started? Correct me if I'm wrong.

SLU72, yes we could have had one of the best bball conferences in the land. Marquette and DePaul are headed to that conference, SLU would do the same thing if invited.

Billiken Law beat me to the punch below.

Creighton and SIU are nice programs, yes, that's all nice and they are the best the MVC has to offer. In both national recognition and reputation Temple, Xavier, and Dayton blow away Creighton and SIU.

You guys won't find a bigger Cowboy fan than myself, I grew up in Dallas and had season tickets before moving to St. Louis. I was lucky enough to have won the lottery for Super Bowl tickets and attended the Super Bowl in Atlanta in 1994 against the Bills. Bill Parcells will have them in the playoffs next year and competing for the big prize the year after next!

The most interesting two points are as follows: "Marquette and DePaul, along with Conference USA's two other non-football schools, Charlotte and Saint Louis, have also taken steps to remain as informed as possible throughout the process. Recently, they jointly hired former NCAA executive director Cedric Dempsey to do some exploratory research." "Cedric Dempsey is about as top-quality a guy as you can work with," Cords said of the 71-year-old, who led the NCAA from 1993-2002. "People have to look at the landscape. Cedric has the ability to check the landscape and see what the lay of the land is. He provides advice to each of the institutions individually and collectively."

The best news on the Meyer signing is that he has been a primary target of Brad's for quite sometime...When was the last time we signed a player that our coaching staff coveted? My guess would be Perry.

Take a good look at the 3rd to last post in this thread...Very interesting! http://www.musketeermadness.com/chatboard/...&PagePosition=1

In a thread below titled, "Has anyone seen this?"

Thanks sluer. I'm wondering if this guys job is actually to see if there is any interest in forming a new conference with SLU, Marquette, DePaul, and Charlotte as the core.

I couldn't find it on the online version of the Post Dispatch. http://marquette.rivals.com/showmsg.asp?fi...1876993&style=1

Split or not to split? http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=1608738
