NashvilleBilliken

Thanks! I don't know why a small school with a bad basketball team would have this on thier website. But I cannot find anything from SLU regarding their broadcasts. It's pretty annoying sometimes...

Does anybody know how to hear the game over the internet tonight? I checked Yahoo and didn't see it listed under the games they'll have on today. The slubillikens website used to have a listen link, but I'm not seeing it. This is the first time I've lived away from st. louis since becoming a Billiken fan, and I need my fix!

I was very suprised last night when I turned on FoxAZ and saw Justin Tatum in the lineup. I think it's the first Bill to graduate in the last 4 or so years that I've seen on TV. He looked good, but it was the same ole Tatum. He had some nice moves in the post...but was unable to finish on a lot of them. He was strong...nobody was pushing him around. And he still has a suprisingly small vertical in contrast to his athletic build... Arizona is going to be an extremely tough game. Team Nike was very athletic and really held there own for a lot of the game. I just can't believe the shooters that Arizona has. I mean, these guys are just lights out. Granted, they did not face the tenacious D that we will provide, but if they have an open look, they WILL knock it down. We will definitely have our hands full, and at this point, I will be happy if we keep it competitive.

You could be right. But I think Too knows he's more likely to get people riled up if he posts his usual moronic posts as himself instead of this jackass who is obviously a joke. But I guess it doesn't matter since nobody takes either one seriously...

Just checked out the PD's website and saw quite a few good Billiken articles. If you're interested, I recommend you check it out. There is a new one regarding Soderberg's system that was interesting and a real nice article about CS... http://www.stltoday.com/slu

This is without a doubt not Billiken_Roy, but I don't think it's Too either. Although I hate Too's posts and think he can be a complete moron (and borderline loser), he has never misrepresented himself. I've seen him on other boards and he usually goes by the same name. I don't think T&T is QUITE as spineless as this moron....

Good to hear! Marque must have really been working hard on that outside shot over the past few months. 2-3 from three pt land is great for him. Sounds like a great start...do you have a link?

If you don't like the posts, don't read 'em. Everybody has their own opinion on soccer, and if Rich wants to bash it, then he should be allowed to. Personally, I can take or leave soccer. I'll root for our team, but you will never catch me at a game. But I sure as heck get a kick out of reading his posts. Rich has had some of the best one liner's in the history of this board....and he is undoubtedly a SLU fan. He has never bashed the team, just the sport. If you want to talk trash and call people an ass, why don't you pick an Anti-SLU fan to take your anger out on. If you have been here for six months, why didn't you rip on Too when he was destroying the credit of our team and coach? Keep 'em coming, Rich!

After reading all these reports (thank you VERY much, btw), it seems the consensus is that JJ came in, hustled, played D, and showed some good athleticism. So, can somebody tell me why his minutes were so limited? I would think that we would need him to contribute as much as possible in these first few games. If he's putting in the effort, why isn't he getting the PT?

Does anybody know if we are joining the A-10 for all SLU sports. I remember at one time there was talk of SLU going to the MVC soccer or even going independent. Has there been any mention of this?

Anybody out there with anti-Marquette feelings have a response?

I'm sure this has been discussed before, so I apologize in advance for asking again. But why are you so pissed off at Marquette? I'm assuming it is becasue of the game against Southern Miss. And I can't say I agree. Hell, if we had the opportunity to play an extra home game, we better hop on that opportunity (as long as it does not break any rules...and from what I hear that did not break any). If it's because they moved to the Big East, why are you so upset? The Big East lost some key teams and they had to reload. Louisville and Cincy were gone regardless. So C-USA took a big drop right there while the Big East took a huge step. With Marquette and Depaul joining, they formed possibly the most powerful conference in the country (bball wise). I cannot possibly fathom any school with half a brain turning down such an offer. SLU has done it before (see Xavier and Dayton), but they obviously had no hard feeling toward us. I'm sure we'll disagree, but I'm very curious to know a legitimate reason for such ill will toward Marquette.

There is something like that in place. I don't know how the heck they did it, but when I was in the Blue Crew, I remember the band would come up with some amazing information. I remember reading where one of the opposing players (i think for cincy) was amazed that we knew such accurate and hard to come by information. If I remember correctly, the kid had left the team for some reason and then came back at some point. The reason was never disclosed and it didn't make the news or anything like that, but somehow our guys knew it. Keep up the good work!

Yeah, Vandy sports do suck....minus basketball. And I know it's all in good fun, but I just can only take so much bright orange. After so many years, it starts to get to me. The really funny thing about UT fans is that, for the most part, they care about nothing other than football. I know many (MANY) people that attend UT or did attend UT and they could not tell me the first thing about UT basketball. When I bring up bball (i really don't care much about college football....other than the tailgate), my buddies just laugh at me and say how much UT baskeball sucks. I just don't get it. Sorry about all the UT posts, but any Vol talk can get me riled up sometimes!

I completely agree with the fact that we need to support our team moreso that we currently do. Wearing billiken blue on game day is a necessity. I have no problem with fans wearing orange on gameday, that is what they're supposed to do. But the people here in Tennessee take it to a whole new level. It really is quite insane. I am completely honest with you when I say that I have met many UT fans that could not name another conference other than the SEC. The people here in Tennessee make UT football the center of there lives and it makes me sick.....Think of what St. Louis would be like if everyday you had to drive down the street and see black and gold cars with Tigers on the side. Or go to the grocery store and be bombarded by orange signs, banners, and whatever else they feel like. I think SLU needs more support, but keep it classy.

A new rule will be placed into effect 11/10/03....NO MORE TALK ABOUT UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE FOOTBALL!!!!!! Just kidding...But to be honest with you, I HATE the University of Tennessee athletics. Living in Nashville, I hear nothing but UT propoganda all day, everyday. I see bright orange cars, trucks, and vans with UT streamers and stickers at least 3 times a day...no matter what time of year. Not to mention the fact that acedimics is an afterthought there and these players are making more money that I do. I'm also an employee of Vanderbilt University, so UT talk is not permitted around here . Please, continue to talk about whatever you want....I just had to get that off my chest

Man, I wish I had heard that. Good job, Thicks...

Congrats Marque! "Perry is a very tough defensive player from St. Louis, a great defender. He has been to a number of camps. All he needs is more experience." What's up with that quote? All of Perry's offensive achievements and phenomenal quickness with the ball...and this guy talks about his defense. Just seems like he doesn't know a whole lot about Marque. He could be in for a pleasant suprise.

Will Polk or Meyer be playing in this? What teams do they play for?

I'll take what we can get. Yeah, that article was pretty outdated and was not too great. But I remember about a year ago when we were all bitching about not getting any print in the PD. Now we're bitching about the quality. This may not be the best, but it's better than nothing....

As long as everybody moves at the same time, I could care less when we make the move. I still think C-USA is a better bball conference as it stands now than the A-10. If our 5 schools stay put for another year, then I have no problem playing another season in conference USA. But then again, a part of me wants to get this whole thing over and done with.

Yeah, the same thing happened to me. This is the first time I've gotten a vote to work, but I think it's also the first time I've been logged in prior to voting.

From slubillikens.com "I don't think we can expect 14 rebounds every night," Sloan said. "But it's great to see the off-season work and the conditioning that you put into your body pay off." Keep up the hard work Chris...we're gonna need it!

Well, that's what happens when you skip out on the Billikens game! Don't let it happen again, Nate
