  1. I did not know that. I just remember you as a kid at the games with the signs for the board (teen). This was the 1st message board i used and now run a message bosrd like it for the ualr trojans here in little rock. We have about 30 members nd 10 posters all at least 56 years old. There is no smack talk with that age group. http://csnbbs.com/forum-291.html
  2. Steve we should all thank you for getting the board going years ago. The kiel center rocked.
  3. I don't get to many games anymore and troll the board more than post due to not going to live games but just hope everyone is taking this success in. It is pretty magical thing watching the success of the program and how it has moved from mid major top 25 program. Feels good to be able to ride along even from a distance
  4. the big guy is slow. they have a couple of scorers that can slash and dunk the ball. nothing there that made me fill like they were well coached. I follow LA Tech in the WAC and have watched them play a couple of times this year.
  5. As a long time fan that does not live in stl anymore, this has been really exciting for me.
  6. White haired ref calls sun belt and big 12 games mostly. The younger bald headed ref USA sun belt ref. both call games here in little rock a lot.
  7. The whole is more than the sum of the parts. God the ball movement is good.
  8. I don't post much any more because I don't get to watch enough of the games, but this board has always been a great place. Hats off to Steve and the posters that keep the talk going and the traffic up.
  9. Roy is one of the best posters on the board. He has given me tickets, along with many of the other posters over the years. If you go back ten years, Roy was one of a couple of poster that kept the board active. That and Steve holding up signs at the games. Roy was the heavy weight champ back then and triangle and two was th villain.... Those were the days...
  10. I.T. workers with just a few years of experience and some Cisco certifications make 70 to 100k. Just for reference.
  11. I am sure that the echoes of me yelling, "dam* it Diener" can be heard in the Kiel Center.
  12. The kids know that this is a year by year deal going in. Here are UALR kids come and go every year that you thought would be here the next. The blame is mostly on the coaches, imo, that have to run off players that they missed on in recruiting. I think we have signed 5 and looking for one more here at UALR and we had 3 to give. We lacked pg play and a rebounder this year. So, some kids had to move on to get the help needed for next year. I am sure Rick is addressing needs at SLU in the same way. I don't post here much I just troll but have been a Billiken fan since 1998.
  13. Thanks to the HD picture you could see the bone. I had to turn my head.
  14. My 1st thought about any coach going to Depaul is that the things that made Depaul a great job in the past have changed. When cable was a new thing TBS made the braves America's team. WGN gave Depaul a nation wide foot print when few other teams had TV coverage much less coast to coast TV coverage. Outside of South Florida, I can't think of a bigger coach killer than the Depaul job.
  15. the center that transfered from UAB was pretty salty when not hurt. kenny brown could be on the bench but could not play in crunch time due to free throws.
  16. This is post of the year. Sign guy send him all of your ECW memorabilia.
  17. This whole thread has to be joke. Which one of you guys registered twice and found a pic of some kid with his short off to use. I thought my ric flair was neat until I saw this. Are we doing awards for best prank thread? Because this should win as soon as one of the long time guys like Roy, thicks, etc says this is a joke on all of us.
  18. When I think of cup of coffee type players I think of kids like the pg slu had in the early 2000's Perry. Throw in Jeffers and that team lacked one more player of that type. Some may not remember jeffers was a 2nd round pick in the nba.
  19. There is a fine art to streetball and it works for the right set of players. Most "street ball" coaches have some rules to follow while playing it. So, there is coaching. Does it work? If you have more talent or equal talent but if you are playing against kids with better talent and a system that will stop it, it probably will not work so well. But get to your real point. Don't beat around the bush. You have something to say and you are just dragging it out because you think you know more than me, right? Who am I, right?
  20. Yea, cup of tea type players. Rolle from LSU is the type of big man that always gets a look (plus, Karl Malone is there every day to work with him), Olu (redshirt sophmore smart kid that was recruited by Big East schools but had a connection to this part of the world) is a 6’7” 230lbs shooting guard, that is the type of player that gets a look. Kyle Gibson is a WAC 1st team 3 point shooter that stands about 6’5” that is the type of player that gets a look. Tech has had NBA talent on the team just about every season since Karl was there but three on one team and playing a style of ball the fits the players, well it has been years/never. That is enough to be top 2 in the WAC and get to the conference finals. The game they lost to NM was one of 3 they played in 3 days out there at ~6000 feet. Elevation in Ruston is probably ~300 feet.
