Tom was great and I'm very sad to see him leave. I loved the post-game/travel blog.
A few things:
We're a niche audience. The P-D knows this, as do other mainstream outlets. There's only enough real estate for coverage. I have to assume from their website analytics they can figure out that Billikens coverage is on the lower end of the Sports readership. Otherwise, it'd have more prominence. Or they have an idiot running things for their analytics or an editor who doesn't pay attention to it. But eyeballs is the main driver, so I have to think they do.
Let's not overlook the fact that we have several other outlets for Billiken info, not just the P-D or TV. If you want scouting info, check out BWeixlman on Twitter. This board is a great source of info.

+100, horrible coaching if you ask me. They can never make adjustments.
That was the book on the coach at SHF back in the late 80s and early 90s---difficulty in making adjustments.....

I have one for Dayton. Sect 108. Also would like face value--25. Pm if interested.
Ticket is gone.

Holy cow. I've just noticed the similarities. Short blonde hair, third man off the bench.....watch him sink two underhanded free throws to win regionals in Indianapolis.I think Crews should use that quote on opening night next year...right after Manning blows a layup in the layup line, just like Ollie.

Manning and Barnett trade it back and forth every couple of weeks. Also Glaze on the rare occasion he gets a change to play. He can rebound but jesus he looks like he's never played basketball before in his life.
This is your team (next year)

We have softball games and marching bands. These guys play at the Cintas Center where you might get shot!</p></blockquote>
I have an obligation to tell you that if you accuse Ellis or Loe or a terrible shooting night without proper evidence, pull be subject to a billikens.com court martial for professional misconduct.

We lost. On the road to a tough team. On Senior Night. Terrible shooting by Ellis and Loe, it happens. This doesn't count against us, it is one big BFD. The refs didn't cost us anything or lose anything for us (yeah, the one timeout call was atrocious, but so what).<br />

Start a new streak on Saturday.</p></blockquote>
Maybe if we work at it, we can get the refs charged with thenKennedy assassination.

Stop it with the refs.

It was good to see the Perryville Alumni Chapter up there too.

I just tried and they replied they have run out of free passes.

Rammer: "Not that you're counting, but that's 18 fouls on the Bills and 9 on Rhode Island. Not that you're counting."

Yeah, it can be like that scene from Finding Neverland, where the little kids get seats among the adults and then all of a sudden, the adults find Peter Pan entertaining and enjoyable. Maybe getting some students among the $$$ crowd would get them to find SLU basketball entertaining and enjoyable.

We'll need to connect with an independent bar. Not one of the Four Corner Tavern bars - they are too cookie-cutter and locked into too many schools. I have a great relationship with a few bars in the hot West Loop that we could try......
Just have those independent bars follow Two Times around for a weekend as part of the recruiting process. The bar tabs from his crew will get them to get a SAINT LOUIS banner on the front door in no time.

can't find a feed . . . damn

I'm not seeing it posted on the wiziwig or firstrow sites . . . or am I blind?

I love technology. Just hooked up the laptop to the flatscreen. Decent picture. Crappy game.

The only point I made is that it ain't over. No one knows whether it is just a "he said, she said" situation. The fact that there was no prosecution does not necessarily lead to that conclusion. There could be additional circumstantial evidence against the players but not enough for the prosecutors to believe they could have run the gauntlet of a St Louis city jury. Further, the standard that the university discipline board will apply shall be much lower than the prosecutors would have faced. Without a criminal conviction, the matter may end up in a grey area left total up to the discretion of the SLU administration. You have to know Larry ain't happy. How he deals with it is anyone's guess.

I love the addition of Loe, but I think it's going to take a couple games of Correction announcing his name before I stop having flashbacks to the UMass-SLU game in 1995 or 96 when Loe Roe dropped like a 28-14 on us. I remember Mike Owen (right?) deep voice after every bucket, "Lou Roe." Haunting.

I loved the blog posts. Really good stuff. I think the mix of post game stuff that you couldn't sneak into the gamers and the travel stuff, mostly nightmares it seemed, were great. I hope Stu continues that. Although it's a personal thing, of course. To had his way with writing those blog. Very stream of consciousness. I loved it. Not for everyone though.
