  1. Did anyone else think that Davell was channeling Kwamain with his shot Saturday night?
  2. You are at least the equal of Travis as an in-game coach.
  3. If you're talking about the private cars, they're already running in and out of there. If you're talking about Amtrak, ain't happening in our lifetimes.
  4. "In fact, Rams owner Stan Kroenke's new sports facility is a fairly new addition to a huge mixed-use development that has been in the works for more than a decade." http://la.curbed.com/2016/5/18/11697054/inglewood-rams-development-hollywood-park
  5. For the ten-minute clusterfork in the first half, one of the refs noticed that the clock was malfunctioning and blew the whistle almost exactly the same time that Welmer, I think, took a shot that missed. So technically no one had possession at the time of the dead ball, and ultimately -- after giving it back to us with 15 on the shot clock, and then 4 on the shot clock -- they made what I think is actually the correct call and gave it to the team that had the arrow. Since we had the first string (sic) announcer last night, I think he was at the disadvantage of the local tradition of leaving everyone in the 'fetz to wonder WTF is going on.
  6. Regardless of the amount of development near SLU, it will never be "downtown." (Except, of course, to a certain segment of the population that lives past 270 and only goes to the real downtown for professional sports, fireworks or Ballpark Village.)
  7. I see nothing in the during-the-game thread pointing out that he had Crawford intentionally (but not "intentionally") foul with a three-point lead. We've debated that many times on the board, but it seems like an absolute no-brainer, especially when the offensive player has his back to the basket.
  8. I have a bit of inside dirt on the plans for the outbuilding on the site, and let's just say we may have a new location for OBC meetings.
  9. If you'd been stuck with a name like Edmister, you probably would have started drinking heavily at an early age.
  10. "GPS-equipped items" = Crawford's iPad, which he apparently realized could be tracked by Find My iPhone. And which outed his secret identity.
  11. Speaking of Methdale, apparently they spent last night stranded in a snow drift per a Stu tweet. (Wow, they've moved up in the illegal drug world. )
  12. They put a mark on their permanent record, of course.
  13. I'll have to watch at our next game and see if a security guard collects the ball thereafter. That seems like an awfully odd role for him.
  14. If you watch the clip that was posted, the shot went through at 0.4. But later on during the clip, before any other time had elapsed, the clock (and God knows where the broadcast clock was being fed from, Missouri State, cough, cough) DID say 0.0. If that's what it said in the arena and that's what the fans saw, they weren't at fault (and I'd question whether the technical was called for).
  15. I was wondering if anyone else counted as well. I validate your count with a second observation.
  16. This would be true if it hadn't already been proven to be false -- more than once. Kielvistrade really helped Union Station, let alone the area immediately adjacent to it (Kielvistrade), didn't it? Or did Union Station die after Kiel was renovated, and is there a bar/restaurant space directly catercorner that's been vacant for what, 10 years? And let's not forget all the development that sprung up around the Dome after it was built. (Or should we remember that building it pushed Tony's out of a 40-year location, and left us without a viable bus station, and knocked down a fully functional 20-some-story hotel and area around it that kept the north part of downtown connected?) Then there was Busch II, which ended up assimilating all the land within 200 yards of it and actually destroyed small business by making it illegal to sell stuff in proximity. Stadiums and arenas do not spur development. Stadiums and arenas are not "multipurpose." Stadiums and arenas are where sports teams play between three and 25 percent of the year, leaving them vacant and unused for the other 275 to 350 days of the year. BTW I'd actually be happy to see a soccer stadium built at either location (even though the Foundry plan is dead). But only because I'd like to have a local professional soccer team.
  17. In fairness, a whole lot of people gave a pass to a 6 p.m. weeknight game. Luckily I got out of work a little early and our carpool worked out perfectly, but if I (like one of my seatmates) was working my normal schedule, I would have strongly considered sitting that one out. But screw the students. While they were sitting in their rooms streaming Sponge Bob marathons, they missed what college basketball and rooting for your school are all about. Ash holes. (Thank God for our Band.)
  18. That would have been easy in the past five or six years, but the Great White Fathers chose instead to have 44 East link up with 70 West. So it ain't happenin' in your lifetime.
  19. Well, in fairness, 20 years ago almost no one lived there. The percentage growth is enormous, but the gross population is still pretty dinky for a CBD that has residential in it.
  20. It was tonight. As everyone knows, the athletic department reads the board religiously.
  21. 37 minute half. Who knew? (6 total fouls.)
  22. Sorry about the perspective, but...
  23. While we're at it, using www. on a URL is so 2010.
