  1. Dont see the game on channelsuffing.net. If someone sees it on DirectTV...please post!

    -Nick

    Slubillikens.com has a pop up add for a pay per view online feed for 7.95. I guess that means they are doing something special up in Philly...probably gonna show the Comcast feed or something. it'll probably pop on on channel surfing or Dunga will post it on the A10 board around game time.
  2. For some reason Jon reminds me of Tayshaun too. It must be the lanky build. At this point that's where the comparison stop as he can't shoot beyond the arc. BUT, the kid is young, talented and seemingly willing to learn how to play basketball. I wouldn't put it past him before it's all said and done.

  3. I have the directtv sports pack and it shows the game as being on channel 642 tomorrow. My question is this; I tried to tune into the channel last night and the game that was on at the time was blacked out. I am wondering if something similar won't happen tomorrow as CCIN is carrying it in St. Louis. Anyone have any idea?

    I THINK the only time it blacks out is when it's an ESPN package game. That happens here too, but if it's on Comcast, it's generally not blacked out.
  4. let me get this straight, a significant number of you think that the southside of chicago kids run home at night and turn on WGN Radio and listen? Or are you saying that the recruiting target kids in chicagoland had an announcement at basketball practice that night from their coach to get home because Rick Majerus was going to be on WGN to talk to them and they raced home to listen?

    i mean seriously, when my kids lived at home, my kids wouldnt turn KMOX on if i was giving them that as a punishment alternative to taking their cell phones away.

    now maybe if he was on B96 the #1 popular music station for kids in chicago or hip hop 107.5 in chicago, he might have gotten about a minute of listen before they switched stations or put in their ear buds.

    the only ones listening to WGN would have been the same old over the hill sports geeks that we are. and while i have college sports eligibility left, the likes of me isnt going to help beat xavier the next few years. of course then your comment is that those old guys listening would tell their kids who are the recruits right? yeah, those kids all listen to their parents about stuff like that. that'll work.

    I don't think Rick should be on in Chicago at the expense of his show here. That is just plain wrong and unprofessional. That being said, it most certainly is helpful to be on that radio program in Chicago. Agreed that all the kids won't be listening, but others will and if anybody outside of STL is talking SLU hoops, that is a big step forward.
  5. RECRUITING THEORY

    Meanwhile, Cusumano said he thinks Majerus blew off his own program for recruiting purposes.

    "Majerus needs Chicago,’’ he said. "He was promoting SLU Billiken basketball in the Windy City for Chicago recruits to hear.’’

    AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

    Let's all cry with Frank Cusumano, shall we?

    Isn't it ALL ABOUT RECRUITING? Jesus, Frank! Just because we went from a "recruit local" philosophy (which sucks and only works if you are St. John's or the Manhattan Jaspers) to a "recruit nationally" philosophy, doesn't mean you've got any right to dog our Coach. Go back to your hole and cry about it some more.

    I didn't read that as Frank blaming Majerus for anything. Rather he was just saying this was the reason he was on in Chicago....to help with recruiting.
  6. It's also coincided with increased attention in the post. Willie was almost always one on one in the non-conference. since the start of conference play, he's been double and triple teamed almost everytime he gets the ball. I actually thought last night was one of the better games he's had in the past month or so. He had some really good looks out of the double team. If he keeps doing that, it'll force the defense to go back to man to man.

  7. The announcer knows he can't be heard over the actual PA announcer and/or the rap music........right?

    standard stuff for this kind of video when streaming. looks like somebody dropped the ball with the mixer. it should be fine once the game start though. This is the first time we've been hooked into the video stream inside the stadium, vs a separate feed. I kinda like it. We'll probably get replays.
  8. I would like to see anyone hold anyone to under 20, to get us out of the record books. That was probably the most embarrassing moment for me as a Billiken fan.

    Everytime I turn on a game and the score is real low, i immediately become very interested....until that 21st point is scored. I've never had the Billikens discussed in Nashville.....other than the day after that game. Brutal.
  9. When it happened, I thought he just wasn't ready to jump. After looking again, i still think that's the case. It's like his legs gave out on him. If your timing isn't right, it's sure hard to get off the ground. The DU player may have had a small impact, but if Willie was above the rim, it wouldn't have mattered.

  10. I have no idea. When Bob Ramsey made the call, it sounded like Ellis missed a shot badly and Reed had dunk-tipped in a putback. Then I saw the play a few seconds later and thought, "That might have been a pass." Seeing the play again prompted me to register for video sharing to post the play. Now I'm working on whatever happened in the first overtime that Reed missed what appeared to be an uncontested dunk.

    Thicks - what app do you use to record the video stream?
  11. Per Porter Moser on with Frank. Coach was quick to point out that Willie has taken this all very well and has been tremendous in practice. Said WR would probably play 25 minutes tonight. He would not elaborate on what Willie did to get benched.

    Yeah, i don't really get it. I didn't get the feeling that Willie not starting had anything to do with Saturday. Porter kept saying he feels really good about the guys coming off the bench. Maybe this is a new strategy to bring in Ellis and Willie off the bench to surprise opponents? Seems kinda weird. He also raved about Cody. Said they already added several plays for him and that having a big that can shoot really opens up so many things. Also had excellent things to say about Jon Smith...sounds like this kid is really coming around; especially on defense.
  12. So this loyalty thing that you are so big on only applies if there isn't a substantial pay raise?

    Exactly. Can't have it both ways.

    I hate Tennessee with a passion, but Kiffin is a total ass and scumbag for pulling this stunt. How one can defend Kiffin, but rail on Majerus is beyond me.

  13. It's the same ole same ole. Those who don't like Rick, will ***** about his character at any point. Rick is old school...get over it. Many things he says are deemed inappropriate in today's ridiculously PC world. I think it's refreshing to hear somebody be real. If you want the same ole PC crap, stick to AD May and his "Ask the AD" sessions. I assure you, nobody will be offended there. And let's not get our panties in a wad about a Bauman post. $50 to the first person to find a post of his that isn't negative.
