I had no idea that a few emails from the fans could make such a splash. First Burwell takes back some of what he said and now Cusamano. I think I need to start voicing my opinion to the "powers that be" more often.
-
That is good news...at least we know it's not just a message board rumor (no offense to jalensdad or pdiddy). I wonder where chris gets his information from....
-
That looks like a hell of an arena. I can't wait to Liddell throw one down on the new court....
-
I say take Liddell either way as he sounds (i get all my info from this board) like a good kid with great skills...he just needs to concentrate in the classroom.
To answer your question, my understanding was that Kern decided not to come to SLU once Romar announced his departure. There may have been other acedemic issues involved, but I believe the official reason was Romar leaving.

Andy Katz has a column on the possible outcomes of all this confernce shuffling. Says that SLU and Charolette most likely go to the A-10 if C-USA gets raided. Suprisingly enough, there was no mention of the MVC. :7

This is a bunch of crap I'm hearing about these guys not liking the travel. What do they expect?? They chose this profession, and if they didn't think traveling was part of it, then they were very much misguided. Is another hundred or two miles really going to matter that much in travel arrangements...no. So you have to be on a plane for an extra 15-30 minutes...big deal. You will get to go to much more interesting cities, with much better programs. If they can't take the traveling, get the heck out of announcing and employ somebody who actually wants the job. I'd take it in a heartbeat!

They may have it showing in their profile. If not, I'm sure Steve could ask that poster via e-mail if it was o.k. to give you the addy.

Anybody know if he has to try out or if he has already signed for a team? I checked the league's official website and he is not yet listed as one of the players.

I agree Roy. I think I said this awhile ago, but I think if Josh wants to, he can be the man on this team. Over the past few years we have seen him have some great games, combined with he strength (the guy is jacked), speed and decent hops, I can see him having a break out year. But judging on the preliminary reports from practice, i don't have my hopes too high on "the flying fish" (i remember a commentator for ESPN2 calling him that a few years ago).

"but Izik Ohanon could well be a 15-point per game scorer, especially since he's had the surgery to enable him to play longer segments without getting fatigued."
I did not hear about this (or i just don't remember)...can you elaborate or provide a link for me. Thanks

I think we have to start Drejaj with Reggie being out the first few games. With reggie in the lineup, I would start
Fish
Bryant
Izik
Sloan
Frericks
However, with Bryant being out the first few games, I would throw Drejaj in and put Josh at the 2. Roy, I'm just not sure who we would start instead of Izik. I don't forsee JJ being able to start immediatly this season and regardless of Iziks defensive capabilities, from what i've seen and read, he is always a step above Varner.

They do have a biomedical program, but it is very new and not necassarily nationally recognized. At this point, he would probably choose a school with a more established program. In re-reading my post, it does imply that i meant slu didn't have a biomed program - my aplogies.
-
I do not recall there being any sort of joint program. Some classes (credits) would transfer between the two schools. I never knew any students that went to Wash U for classes, but i do recall having some WU students in my Fluid dynamics class over a summer. The two schools do have a good relationship though being as both schools have equipment that the other can benefit from.

"Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering "
We have a mechanical engineering program, it was just lumped in with the aerospace program as those are our 2 biggest and best programs.
-
Taj, Parks moved to the main Grand campus about 6 years ago. These days, Parks students are considered as much a part of the school as the business and medical students. Actaully, there is very little (if any) "segregation" between parks and non-parks kids. SLU has actaully been scheduling non-Parks classes in McDonnell Douglas Hall (the engineering building - immediatly next to the compton-olive garage) in order to try and mesh the two together. The ONLY reason he would ever have to go to cahokia is if he decided to get his pilot's license. Parks kids live in the same campus dorms as every other student.
-
As started above, it all matters what kind of engineering the kid likes. These schools cannot touch SLU's aerospace program. The mechanical and electrical programs are also pretty good. But if he wants civil, architectural, or even biomedical; we are screwed...
-
yep, that was the one.
-
That was a fun read. One paragraph in particular sure sounds familiar....
"Decide that if a kid leaves the state to attend another school (especially if the other school is in the same conference), then you promise that the kid will have no future outside of football in his home state. “I’m sorry, boy. But you could have had a job selling used cars or insurance anywhere you wanted if you’d have gone to State U. Don’t plan on settling back here, boy.â€"
I found that amusing.
-
That is great to hear. SLU has needed to improve marketing for quite awhile now, and I'm glad to hear this guy is full of energy. Maybe we'll have some big Greek/Isreali crowds at the game this year

Looks like fellow a C-USA school has some recruiting violations and has lost an assistant coach.

yeah, that has been making the news here in Nashville. Unfortunately, here in the heart of SEC country, Vandy's perception in Nashville is worse than SLU's (in terms of athletic success) and the jokes have been plentiful on all the local radio shows since the news came out. As a Vandy employee though, I gotta stick with the commadores. Personally, I think it is a good idea.

Thats great news. I have heard a lot of good things about this guy. Does anybody have a link to pics/stats? Thanks
This is some of what we have to look forward to
