BIG BILL FAN

That makes no sense at all. Regardless of NIL, players are still going to need to be recruited, in fact it’s going to be more imperative to excel at this, as literally every player has got to be recruited every year. Other schools will have NIL money as well, relationships will always be important. Fortunately, our so called majority will be striving to let all these potential recruits know exactly what they think of our coach, right Ford haters?

His average finish is actually 4.3, kind of you to bump it up to 5th however..

Potential, no guarantee?????

You have to laugh at comments like this. You have no idea of the conversations Ford has with his assistants, much less whether he listens to them. I wonder if you realize that it is the assistants who scout and game plan for future opponents. Again, if you’re privy to sitting in on meetings regularly, please enlighten us with examples of Ford not taking his assistants advice.

There have been plenty of arguments presented, you just choose to ignore them or lie about them.

But apparently Ford supporters are not welcome??? Make up your mind…

Who’s we, are you the new girls scouts leader? Oh, and it’s YOUR university, got it…talk about arrogance…

I do, and do you know what middle of the pack means??? Let me help 9th or 10th. Fact, Billikens finished tied for 2nd in the regular season standings.. why does the truth upset you so much?

I guess only in a Ford haters world is 2nd middle of the pack… you have a right to your opinion, but why do you have to lie to make it?

Just stop, you losers have been attacking him for months, even after wins, and now you’re feigning ignorance? Enjoy your little celebration and if true, next week we can whine about losing our entire recruiting class and most of our current roster.

The behavior of some so called Billiken Fans is disgraceful. You really think mocking and ridiculing our coach is helpful? You embarrass yourself and the university.

I’m calling BS on this one..so everyone in town knows about this, but you’re the only one who can’t keep his mouth shut…. Not buying it…

That’s why people’s focus should be on changing the corrupt format instead of bitching about the coach 24/7. No conference should be receiving more than 4 or 5 bids..

That’s true, and was an administrative decision..

Good coaching should overcome injuries, right Ford haters?

Russell isn’t going to put Medley on the bench.

That sounds like a reasonable request.

well what's not skewed, that you obviously don't want to talk about, is there is only 3 at large bids from non P6 schools....spin anyway you want, the odds are poor...

you really think a great JUCO option would have been willing to wait to see if someone was going to fully recover from an injury???

agreed, everyone is different, maybe this time next year, he will be back 100%

in other words you can't name any...got it....but don't let that you deter your Ford hating......

why don't you list all of those coaches who had 3 starters injured who made the tournament???? that should be easy, right????

Let me tell you what Ford does very well, yet rarely gets credit for, he knows how to coach rebounding. His team is consistently in the top 50. Think about it, look at the team he had on the floor this year, not one outside of Okoro would you say is a good rebounder yet he got the production. Another thing he excels at is plays under the opponent’s basket. We have to be one of the best in that category. Who remembers the Crews days when our number 1 option was to throw the ball to the backcourt.

I don’t think most have any clue what SLU and other mid majors are up against. Here are facts not opinions. There are 358 division 1 teams and 68 tournament bids. There are 32 automatic bids which means that leaves 336 teams vying for 36 at large bids. This year 33 of those bids went to P6 schools which left 3 spots for the remaining 269 non P6 schools which equates to a 1 in 90 chance. The system is a joke and is only getting tougher. To compound the difficulty SLU is in a conference that is trending down in the numbers of bids, yet still has 4-6 teams which are regularly competing for the top spot. You can ***** all you want about the coach, but the reality is whoever is the coach will be facing a major uphill battle.

Yes, you’re joking right, or do you just enjoy making a fool of yourself?
