>i dont mind if ian doesnt lose any weight, but that baby fat >has to be turned into solid muscle and transfered to his >chest and shoulders. then you'd have something. I agree with you totally!! Ian needs to redistribute his weight to his upper body. The result would be something amazing!!!! he is my favorite player on the team!

thanks for the links!!! the new mizzou arena looks great! makes me even more excited and looking forward to our new SLU arena on campus in a couple of years to come!!!!!

that's excellent!!! good for you!

>I don't see where playing in the Bonner league is a "must" >for Ian. My quess is a couple of months at home with his >parents and younger brother, plus taking in Athens' Olympic >scene, will do his mind more good than running up and down >the Bonner League court rarely touching the ball! that's interesting! I wonder if his little brother is a basketball player, and if so, in the future we could recruit him onto our team...just a thought. His little brother is probably my age (almost 15)!!! I do think that he should play on the Greek olympic basketball team, and I agree that the Bonner League might not do him much good...he does have to lose some weight, though...maybe like 5-10 pounds.

SLU's official athletic website has an online store to purchase Billiken wear and accessories. The shorts aren't exactly basketball shorts, but they are very close! They're mesh shorts that say SLU on them. Here's the link to the online store: http://slubillikens.ocsn.com/store/index.h...404&store_id=41 you might also want to try the store "Sports Fan-Attic" at West County Mall. I've heard from other people on this site that they sell Billiken t-shirts there, so there must be shorts as well.

at the Savvis Center during home games there is a little stand with Billiken wear. They probably have shorts, if I'm not mistaken. But I also think the University bookstore might sell them...I'm going to double check.

I know Katie Dierdorf. She goes to my school and is a senior. I'm only in 8th grade. She is the star player of our varsity basketball team. She is very good, and is also a very nice person! It's just too bad that she isn't coming to SLU!

>I know these are not what you were originally looking for, >but I picked up a couple SLU t-shirts at the Sports Fanattic >in West County Mall. One is grey with "Saint Louis >Billikens" in blue on the front along with the Billiken >head. The other is white with "Saint Louis Billikens" in >blue on the chest along with the Billiken. And on the back >is the Billiken. do you know if they still have those shirts at West County Mall??? and do you know if they have sweatshirts too??? thanks!

nope...it isn't the first post during class. About 2 months ago I posted during my word processing class. The teacher was boring us to death talking about how to save a file and copy and paste graphics onto a word document...boring!!! Besides, being a huge SLU Billiken fan, why wouldn't I want to come here and post???

for all we know, IV might develop over the summer into a great player, both on offense and defense. Also, Bryce Husak appears to be a good defender. I think Reggie will be the star player next year.

great pics!!!! we will greatly miss Josh, Ross, Chris, and Phillip! Great job, guys!!!

I think it's also on CCIN...

I think you should make one for Izik and Ian!!!! You should also make one that says DREJAJ IS A PLAYA on it for AD.

I hope we win, I hope we'll be seeing more of IV and JJ in tonite's game. I don't think DC will be playing, because I have heard he has tendinitis or something in his knee or leg.

Thanks to our seniors!!!! We will miss you in the years to come!!! I can't wait to hear Ross sing the National Anthem!! I'll be cheering the loudest!

Coach Soderberg said that Drejaj fractured his tibia at practice earlier, so he had to come out. The Bills played awesome! What a great game!

>I think most of the problem can be tied to comments by the >coaches about his lack of experience playing 5 on 5.

thanks for telling me, thicks, I had no idea what that was about, I just saw someone that had Reggie Bryant, so...

>You are mistaken. The Billikens beat Tulane last year: >76-74 in double overtime at Savvis. > >Tulane did beat SLU in the first round of the 2002 C-USA >Tourney after the Bills had beat them in New Orleans less >than a week earlier. oh yeah...that's right! I was thinking of two years ago...stupid me!

>I'm going to house train someone's puppy on a cincy one there you go!!!!!! hahahaha!

yeah!! that 3-pointer by Ross helped us out a lot!!!!

the question is...Will they win??? Tulane is a tough team. They've beat us a couple times, last year in fact.

yeah, hopefully it will come soon!!!!!!!!

well, all Ian needs is a little coaching, weight training, and tips on defense, and help with shooting, and he'll come back ready to charge next season!! Bryce Husak is really tall!!! he looks like he'll be a great player!

they both were awesome!!
