It could set up a great marketing campaign, because he's an anagram for Jocular Bunch, Uh.

Well, since they haven't been published yet, I guess not.

This is a SLU-centric observation. Stu has been working on a massive, long-term investigative project for many months now. And like any of the other survivors at the P-D, he's assigned to whatever comes up on any given day (IndyCar? seriously?). You may have noticed that he was also frequently assigned the 237th Cardinals article in many issues, so now that the season is officially over, he should have at least an extra hour or two in his 60-hour-weeks to devote to more SLU coverage.

Yeah, but SLU paying for their defense while simultaneously still subject to a Title IX inquiry seems a bit screwy.

Fair enough, but hence my initial comment about NCAA regs. Is it possible in either case that someone else (not the schools) pays the legal fees? It seems to me that even in the case of the attorney working pro bono that it's the equivalent of someone else paying the legal fees.

I'm not sure the point of the Lindenwood reference in regard to Rosenblum's fees. I do know that he's had other high profile cases for which he was most certainly paid. If anyone knows for a fact or at least has strong evidence that he (or Rogers) has done work for free or for only a nominal service charge, please say so.

"The U," no. But I seriously doubt any of those guys would have known to hire Rosenblum, and I also seriously doubt the "pro bono" narrative. I have my own theory as to who brought Rosenblum in, but I don't know enough about NCAA regs on something like this to know if my theory is plausible.

And if Willie and Kwamain had retained Scott Rosenblum this early on in the process, we would have been an Elite Eight team.

Or you could be a public official and use the fact that you read it on the Internet as validation something's veracity.

God bless the Onion. Louisville Janitor Scrapes Rick Pitino’s Name Off Parking Spot At Sorority House http://www.theonion.com/graphic/louisville-janitor-scrapes-rick-pitinos-name-parki-57058

Try this. It's the sharing link they provide to the main article. You may or may not be able to get to the list from it. https://www.wsj.com/articles/harvard-takes-top-honors-in-wsj-the-college-rankings-1506466800

I'll remind everyone that Chris May was never intended to be a leader. He was hired to implement the wishes of a select group of others.

I hope this isn't behind a paywall for y'all. https://www.wsj.com/graphics/college-rankings-2018-tool/ Data points: WUSTL 11, GW 64, Creighton 134, Marquette 158, MUST 184, Xavier 220, Gonzaga 223, Mizzou 330. One other good point of reference is that we're basically tied with the Nads. What more could we want?

Wait, Louisville was in on this too? That just can't be. Pitino has always run clean programs. http://kentuckysportsradio.com/basketball-2/louisville-at-the-heart-of-new-ncaa-corruption-scandal-of-course-it-is/

From right before it opened. https://www.stlmag.com/dining/sneak-peek-the-stellar-hog-in-south-city/ And yet another bbq place is about to open, this time in Kirkwood in the old Steak and Rice. https://www.stlmag.com/dining/three-tidbits-new-bbq-joint-coming-to-kirkwood-robust-celebrates-ten-year-bagging-on-bowzer-bags/

Eat your heart out, so to speak. The first article in the link goes through a couple dozen barbecue joints. I need to find the link to all the places they sent me to in the heart of the 'hood. https://www.stlmag.com/topics/bbq-the-lou/

Adam's and Dalie's are, like Bogart's, Pappy's cousins.

Um, kids...did everyone have a bit too wild of a night last night at wherever you drink while waiting for Humphrey's to reopen? A whole lot of feeding one-poster trolls (or, as is more likely, troll) going on in this thread.

If you ever sat in Davis-Shaughnessy, the library, etc. and wondered what mysticism was taking place across Lindell, here's your chance to own a piece of it. A whole lot of fancy ashtrays, among other things.

Two. Four if you count me and fellow SLU grad (and U News vet) Jeannette Batz, but I didn't exactly win it for my cooking. (Well, maybe, but...) Anyway, that's not the best yardstick. One of those winners and I had a spirited discussion in my food writing class as to what that award really means. But in terms of quality of cooking, breadth of choices, chefs' community, national visibility and other fairly intangible measures (weighted for size of metro area), we hold our own.

I should add that I'm at WWT fairly regularly, usually meeting with groups of three or more. I don't recall a meeting where there wasn't at least one SLU grad in the room, and usually there are several.

Well, yeah, that and Casa Gallardo was actually pretty good when there were only a few of them.

And even bigger in the early '80s. West Port is in the midst of an utter freaking explosion thanks to the SLU grad who recently moved the headquarters of his multibillion-dollar business into the Plaza proper from about a mile away. I'm betting it gets even more popular than the peak time when Casa Gallardo had a 1.5 hour wait on weekends, there were about 50% more shops and restaurants, and multiple entertainment venues (West Port Cine, West Port Playhouse and the comedy club) all packed 'em in consistently.

One of the guys in my advanced econometrics class (the smartest person in the class, for that matter) did his final project on a model determining the value of home court advantage in the NBA. Remember, this was when you had to enter both the formulae and the data on punch cards. It was quite clever, and the professor (Goldberger of the Klein-Goldberger model, for which Klein won the Nobel) actually laughed out loud for the first time anyone had ever heard him do so. I think the result was "maybe." Anyway, said smartest person went on to get his Ph.D. in econometrics. He was, shall we say, a little on the socially defective side and couldn't land a professorial position, so he became a professional gambler, Blackjack, I think. He was eventually banned in virtually every casino in America and many more abroad, but not before he made enough money to retire at age 50. The kicker? Despite being from and moving back to San Diego after going to Wisconsin, he sent his kid to SLU.

His KY farewell address, in which he goes 3:40 without a single correction.
