I have reached billiken_roy levels of posting (7/7)

  1. If Porter fails at OU, which has bucketfuls of resources, what makes us think he would be wildly successful at SLU or in a return to Loyola? At Loyola he kept his teams playing together for 3-4 years and that’s almost impossible to do these days.
  2. So is Kobe, and he’s played really well. So we return 2 starters and a bunch of question marks. We are going to need the portal if we’re to compete against UD, VCU, et al. Needless to say there will be a learning curve for new additions. In bygone days, pre portal & NIL, you could consider us in rebuild mold, but today it’s reload mode and hope for the best. I don’t know enough about any of our FR to judge whether they will help. As for Warlick and McCottry neither will be considered all A 10 candidates. Both have shown flashes but that’s all. And how much will our walking wounded contribute? Too many unknowns at this point, so we’re gonna need to go swimming or fishing in the portal pool.
  3. Just what is Casey’s injury?
  4. The portal may open up a few spots.
  5. ‘22-23 cured me of expecting great things from my old Alma Mater, so I’m not looking for a bridge to leap from. Yeah, it’s frustrating to watch this team give away games with their endless stupid TO’s, but I’ve come to accept it. The real problem is our ranks are too thin. The cavalry ain’t coming off the bench to give us a bolt of lightning. So, we’re wearing the starters down and our tank is on E. I was holding on to the hope that maybe DC could be ours for the taking, but with 5 starters and fill in the blanks it’s a fading hope. No knock on our FR but they are FR after all is said and done. Of course we’ll all watch this play out to its disappointing conclusion, because that is what we do season after season after season. Soon enough we will turn our attention to the portal season and hope our coffers are deep enough for Schertz to restock the stables with new blood that fits his system and can stay healthy. We all should pray for Kellen Thames that his health issue is resolved not just for our viewing pleasure but for the young man’s well being as he ages. And remember our battle cry, It’s damn hard being a Billiken fan.
  6. If anyone thinks our offense under Josh Schertz looks like Rick’s they’re blind.
  7. Kobe should be running the show not Swope.
  8. I don’t get what Swope is trying to do half the time.
  9. Swope drives me crazy.
  10. Another stupid TO. Damnit!
  11. They call a foul and the guy’s hanging on the hoop. Gimme a break.
  12. We treat the ball like it’s a virus.
  13. One guy is 6-8 from 3. Why we always get this is unreal. The GM guy, Fig Newton, goes unconscious against us. Now this guy 6 for 8. Jeesh, jam these guys.
  14. That was ticky tacky.
  15. Just watch out for some unknown to start going crazy from 3 pt line.
