  1. Strike that refs are out to get us
  2. SLU is getting more calls than ever before this half of the season True home court advantage?
  3. the dreaded scoring drought usually happens about now Please don't please don't keep scoring
  4. This commercial is BS. "I touched the ball last" Please, human error is part of the game plus maybe you think you touched it last but how can you be sure.
  5. I have my own personal favorite too. A SLU W gets us some more pub and probably gets that 4 spot which is looking like the best seed to get now.
  6. The February 27th, Chilean Earthquake is a tragedy for most but early indications are that it is a boon to Billiken Basketball. Leading scientific experts have surmised that the large earthquake actually made the surface of the Earth smaller thus shortening our days by milliseconds. The Earth rotates on an axis from West to East and is now thus spinning faster. Exhaustive study of Billiken game tapes and limited practice footage has shown that the Billiken free throw attempts are just missing on the east side of the rim. The determination of rim placement was used by examining Google Earth and interviews with locals at the arenas in question. Therefore, the Earth spinning faster will result in a higher percentage of SLU free throws made. Early indications in the game on FEB 27th show that the theory has validity as SLU shot 69% from the line that is 7% higher than the season average. Look for SLU to sink more Free Throws in the future. Thank you plate tectonics.
  7. 9 1/2 minutes of Billiken Hoops on a National Radio Show that is good stuff.
  8. Romar wasn't a no-name he was a hot up and comer at the time. He wasn't an assistant at the time SLU hired him he was head coach at Pepperdine. Prior to that he was one of the main assistants at UCLA. Think about how close he was to being Head Coach at UCLA instead they went with Lavin after they sent Harrick packing for rule violations (right?). Lavin tanked, Romar did well at his next stop. Spoon was 2x National Coach of the Year. Majerus is the biggest name he is big time. He was mentioned with nearly every big job opening. The reasons he chose SLU don't matter. To demean SLU because there are some special circumstances for him coming here is just dumb. It is the same as people saying Hughes only came here because of his brothers heart condition. So what? Akeem Olajuwon went to Houston because it was too cold at St. Johns. The reason doesn't matter only that they did. As to May Rice has a pretty good ADep. They have a great Baseball Team recent National Champs and decent football lately. I think Major Applewhite is the Head Coach. It is a good job for stepping stone to a Big XII texas school or other big-time program. SLU's next head coach, yeah it's premature but I love coaching searches, at first I was set on Moser. He proved he could recruit but maybe needed some seasoning so he didn't succeed at IllSt. Maybe he has learned from Majerus the type of players to bring in and how to game plan and coach in game. Lately I've been thinking about Stevie Boy Alford. I was never a fan of his at Iowa but he has done well at UNM. He is a Mid-West Guy could maybe recruit Indiana and Chicago. I would think St. Louis and SLU would be a step up although UNM has a better history. Albuquerque isn't that great of a town and SLU has great facilities now. The name would be a splash as it is recognizable. Just think about it.
  9. I've been looking at changing careers and I would excel at the AD job. Hell I even know that overall our women's tennis team stinks but the freshman Elmore is a standout. I know how to handle Majerus as well. Here's how it would go down: Scene plush AD office me behind mahogany desk. Majerus walks in in tight black sweater, slightly sweating from walking down the hall. ABomb: Hey coach sit down. RM sits on leather sofa leaning back. ABomb: What's up? RM: Hey these kids had these flights and ....well they are good kids and then this snow....one time Mark Twain wrote a story about a jumping frog and well.....kids can't read that story because the snow and the flights and Andre Miller was a good kid didn't.... ABomb (interrupting): Hey coach check out these sausages I just had Dr. Chaifetz bring into town from Chicago they're made by Polish people. RM:mmmmmm ABomb: what were you saying? RM: Me ahhh mmmmmm mumble mumble. ABomb: Oh hey I gotta' go watch Women's VBall Practice and talk with Coach Kordes, later. RM: robble robble And that is how it is done, son.
  10. Yeah it was a "neutral site" right
  11. St. Charles Family Arena or at Minnesota?
  12. Shout out to Humphrey's from Majerus
  13. Fluid is a compliment more like scatter brained dude is all over the place
  14. Once SLU took more 2 pt FG than 3 pt FG and they started rebounding better they pulled ahead and they also stopped turning it over so much in the second half It was worrying me that SLU would not move into 4th and miss out on a great opportunity
  15. he has 16 min but no pts I think it is due to KM's 3 PF and Cassity has 2 PF
  16. alright 10pt lead KM takes over
  17. Is that the Shoe's making an appearance on cam?
  18. SLU moved the ball so well in the last game it reminded me of the good Butler teams moving the ball back and forth at the top of the key setting pick after pick looking for an opening. I am not seeing that this game
  19. They are waking up but DUQ is keeping it close
  20. Did WR just get fouled? then a time out? I'm disombobulated (sp) listening to the delayed radio and watching Duq isn't enfeugo either so SLU just needs to pull it together
  21. I'm having a bad night automatic sprinkler system in the yard went haywire couldn't shut it off can't find the shut off I had to shut off water to the house so I could watch this game then I got to go find the shut off now SLU playing sloppy
  22. Or Naomi Watts not to harp on WR too much, Ellis isn't a stud rebounder either
  23. No Rebounds for WR Scoring is balanced for SLU but they are playing sloppy can't have a let down need to get into 4th
  24. why does gametracker have to periodically talk to me about hamburgers the advertising is getting annoying
  25. Thicks called the Charlotte loss
