BIG BILL FAN's Achievements

Senior (5/7)

  1. It’s irrelevant anymore what our net is, we’re in a one bid conference.
  2. Every team backed off Anya, Otieno, while not taking a lot of 3’s, made 14 of 38 which is 37%, he also shot 75% from the line, so yes, they will at least have to guard him.
  3. It’s more than not being able to make ft’s. It’s hard to play a 5 out offense when Anya’s man can always sag to the middle because he knows he can’t shoot the 3.
  4. So to summarize, you are suggesting that we push out the 60+ year olds crowd who actually show up to the games and pay the bills, and allow the 20 and 30 year old crowd who excel at running their mouths but disappear when asked to spend any of their own money, take over. When I was your age, we didn’t need gimmicks to create an electric atmosphere and we also didn’t portray ourselves as the poor victims looking to spew hate at our older fans who were supporting the program. The only thing keeping the arena from being filled are losers like you who would rather whine than show up to the game and reach into their own pocket. It’s stunning that you think alienating a large portion of your fan base is the key to success.
  5. Great, are you suggesting that the City of St Louis fund this for SLU , or is it just another cheap shot at May for not pouring millions into a program that virtually no one cares about? It is impressive that they will have a 100 seats with backs and a berm to sit on.
  6. I think you have things backwards….again. May PAYS us the same amount you PAY others to “ good post” your incessant hate comments about May..
  7. Walmart sells a pretty nice seat cushions for around $10. If we could coerce May into having a seat cushion giveaway and you follow up on your promise to paint the bullpen fence, I think the attendance problem would be solved!
  8. Tell me, what is Lindenwood’s, Maryville’s, SIUE’S, and WashU’s budget for basketball, and how much did they spend on their basketball facilities? Now tell me how much of the basketball budget would you like to transfer to the baseball team? 10%, 20%?
  9. So are you calling Schertz a liar? He says May and the university are giving him enough money to field a conference championship caliber team. As for the baseball facility, why would anyone with limited resources make a sport a priority that averages less than 200 fans per game, which most are family members? Last year’s funding through the Billiken Victory Fund is not public, but Schertz acknowledged that the amount he has available in 2025 is a signifiant increase that will put SLU among the top schools in the Atlantic 10. It is believed that last year’s total for men’s basketball was at or slightly above seven figures. Schertz said he has enough to build a conference championship-caliber roster. He credits May and the university administration for a commitment to increased funding. “There’s a definitive commitment to our program being good,” Schertz said. “They understand the value of that. You hear some crazy numbers being thrown out for some of these guys. It’s not like it’s bottomless. We have to be intelligent, but we’re in a much better space. “The university has committed to an amount, and that allows us to have the money. Chris is the one handling it. The school is going to backstop a certain amount, so I know I have the money. There’s not a question. The school believes it’s important and wants to be good and be invested in this.”
  10. Thanks for proving my point. How dare anyone disagree with the almighty 05! I will say your imagination is impressive.
  11. Silly sh*t??? Exactly what did Dennis say??? All I saw was a reaction to your post. Are you suggesting that anyone who disagrees with you is silly? I personally think anyone who becomes unhinged over an unpainted fence, who resorts to profanity and then suggests a poster must be committing a sex act with Chris May, is acting silly. That said, let’s get that fence painted! The 107 people who attended the last game will be eternally grateful!
  12. and you live to find fault with everything Chris May has ever done. Your rants are childish and have in fact become boring. That said, if $250 will take care of the fence, let me know how much you will contribute and I will match it. I suspect even Dennis will throw in 5 bucks to alleviate your angst.
  13. And tell me, would it have made a difference if Perkins, Parker, and Thatch been healthy?
  14. Again Roy, is Ford still the coach? Tell me, when will the hate stop? I have been clear about my support for Schertz, what’s amusing is that objectivity has disappeared from the board. Here are some facts, not opinion. Schertz’s filling out the roster was a bust. Brockhoff, a total bust. Martin, it took one scrimmage to show he couldn’t contribute. Dotzler, completely unproven. Pikar, a 190 pound weakling not remotely ready for D1 basketball. McCottry, the best talent on the team, but wasn’t used extensively until very late in the season. Johnson, limited offensively and was not allowed to be the primary ball handler even though the one we used was a turnover machine. Schertz should have had a huge advantage in evaluating D2 players, yet ignored this avenue. Instead he went after division 1 rejects. SLU was among the very worst in turnover and rebounding margins. Schertz’s record was no better than Ford’s against the top A10 teams. Schertz’s team lost every meaningful non conference game. Robbie Avila and Swope were responsible for nearly 8 turnovers per game. Hardly a sign of a well coached players who are Schertz products. We were assured that winning 20 games was meaningless, yet we didn’t even match that. How come these FACTS are being ignored by you Roy? People would have you believe that Travis Ford was the worst coach ever, and yet these same people are wetting their pants over a coach with 3 all conference players who was in charge of the worst fundamentally poor Billiken teams I’ve seen. That said, I’m a Billiken fan first and hope that our coach is a big success and that he gets the support he needs. Oh, and how come no one brings up the new coach’s salary and the resource given to him?
  15. Tell me Roy, is Ford still the coach??? You’ve become as deranged as those who have mocked you over the years. I’m glad you’re excited about Schertz’s 5 out offense, are you as excited about being in the bottom tier of committing turnovers and giving up offensive rebounds? You’ve lost all credibility, oh, and by the way, why didn’t you answer my question “ if you read that I said I’m rooting for Schertz”? Too embarrassed?
