  1. sorry, for the bump can someone in admin say what the freshman, sophomore designation is all about? also, I see all of these boxes are going to get features such as royal blue text? I still don't see a spell checker; which I have become dependent upon. thanks.
  2. open gymns or players most likely to collect at what time? Baumann-Eberhard? If someone knows when a fan could walk into the gym and see how big the new recruits are and whether any of their shots go near the basket that would be all I'm looking for this time of yearhttp://www.billikens.com/forum/style_images/1/folder_editor_images/icon_open.gif[/color][/color][/color]

  4. I put the same information in a number of times and could not login; then aol would not take your link; then I put the same information in again and it worked fine. Will this system remember our name and password?
  5. De Paul, Georgetown, Bradley, Minnesota, Illinois get'r done
  6. Coach has got the locals attention; no doubt he could have been like Huggins and brought his players with him; instead he is getting the most our of both sides of the river; BS started the Eside coming to SLU and I figured BS was originally hired because Romar couldn;t find the midwest on his recruiting map; the worst thing about Romar was wasting all that time courting Darius Miles as if he could get into SLU. KL and TL are great SLU gets and we owe Brad
  7. email can create pressure and response to it. This board and its members or participants need to let management know what our Billiken Club money and ticket money should be spent on. Everyone has their own priorities: many on this site probably spend a great deal of their disposable income on Billiken sports. I personally think the next thing that has to be fixed is our lack of exposure for all Billiken sports in the media. There should be Billiken articles on Baseball, Basketball, Volleyvall, Track-we are a big city but we are a college town; For too long our media has had an attitude that if it is pro sports it deserves more coverage. I say the Billikens are the third best sports topic in the area after the Cards and the Rams
  8. the Lay board was established long before the Tiff and before the hospital was sold; many schools such as Northwestern of the Big Ten and Washington University in St. Louis and Harvard started or had religious ties in the beginning; some of these still show in the traditions of the schools and the curricula. Your generalizations are really off topic. Could we stick to athletics and Men's basketball; I don't like and agree with many of the decisons of Biondi-who I refer to as the patron saint of Landscapers-but I do like the step up to solve the scheduling problems when our nemisis owned the Savvis and wouldn't give us Saturday nights. We needed our own arena due to the fact that this short sighted city tore down the Keil and the Arena and signed papers with the Clark property owners that no other citiy owned building would compete if a new venue was built for the Blues. Biondi did what had to be done; The campus more than rivals Wash U in greenery and that also is a major improvement for midtown. CL had driven off lots of detrators in the AD and the lack of PR and TV and Radio made her expendable. Debbie Yow and Woolard both got more out of the local media. If Biondi has a media problem, CL certainly was part of it
  9. please let him know how important TV and radio coverage are to the Billikens Basketball-Mens Basketball-Womens Volleyball Baseball Soccer-mens Soccer-womens
  10. forget the Soderberg playbook where we either had no depth nor coach that could play more than 6 players per game; RM is going to have a real transition game with 8 or more players involved
  11. AK definitely has to play 4 to get minutes over the next 3 years
  12. Hatton is my favorite also-any news on a start time-I know that is hard to predict with the possibility of one round knock out prelims always a danger
  13. Cobbin had a good jumper until Spoon ruined his ankle making him play on it to be tough for the team-I hope he finally healed
  14. Spoon was a favorite; but let us see how Romar and others stack up against the million dollar man
  15. they beat us by 10 at home and are supposed to be having a tjey they are climbing out of 2nd tier: strong recruitting class even though they gave another kid his LOI release so he could go Juco or someplace else makes you wonder if that was an acceptance problem; his hs was called automotive something sounds like a tech school not college prep DUQUESNE UNIVERSITY BASKETBALL 2007-08 SIGNEES NAME POS HT. WT. CL PPG RPG HOMETOWN / LAST SCHOOL Bill Clark G 6-5 200 Fr. 20.5 10.0 Redondo Beach, Calif. / Worcester (Mass.) Academy Ricky Jackson F 6-6 215 So. 15.3 6.1 Canton, Ohio / Cloud County (Kan.)

  16. I believe anytime we played them we played in the TWA dome and the MO-ILL game was in the Savvis in recent history they played two games in St, Louis and TWA was not our home court per se as we played our home games in Savvis-it sold out for the Illinois game no matter who the opponent and Weber being from SIU before would have more reason to play us than go to what he would recognize as a mine pit in Carbondale; Of course once we go to Chaifetz we would have to rationalize staying home before 10,600 or going to the ED Jones Dome for 32,000-I'd say book the big hall and make two payments on the Chaifetz
  17. If you have guards and a small forward who can handle and they get 30 minutes apiece as starters that leaves 30 minutes for a sixth man off the bench-if we are winning that has to be a very attractive offer for any recruit. Our problem in the most current regime of coaches is they played the starters until they were burned out and the next game you might see one of the starters sit on the bench for 35 minutes with no explanation-our coaches had a plan A for every game and no adjustment was made during the game or at half. If our planned match ups worked we won. If not we scratched our heads wondering what went wrong and we blamed on lack of depth
  18. to play SLU in St. Louis-the intensity of the game and fan base matched anything that the MO-ILL games offered and obviously MO has been no match for Illinois the last few years no matter what their ranking prior to the game. And SLU should play them home and home as Assembly Hall is not the home atmosphere that the old Huff gym was
  19. rather play Illinois and other Big Ten schools if we get bangers and our 4's and 5's can stand up to it; I always root for Illinois over Missouri and I live in the city; I expect if RM does turn us around we will get our ticket punched on the E Side. I really thought we played Illinois well inour last meetings
  20. no Larry Hughes effect of "one and done" by the star. RM will put the team in front of finding one star to fill the headlines; Spoon had his moment in the sun but Larry Hughes eclipsed him and from the standpoint of SLU fans Spoon did not have a reason to keep recruiting if finding the perfect recruit meant he was going to leave you in one year. if RM is going to build a dynasty it will be with lots of really good players who put the team first and stay for 4 years; I hope we get Scott Suggs but I think RM may be good enough to give us a cast of players equal to Suggs; players who can at least play with him. The Larry Hughes year we had players waiting for Hughes to take the ball and finish-they did their part when he got the ball-we had guys on the team who could have played better if they were not in awe of LH
  21. SWIC is supposed to be loaded with the best talent ever; his punishment may be a well publicized JUCO program that competes nationally-it did not hurt Stemler who ended up with a scholarship to Indiana for 2 years
  22. or maybe the staff expects someone to not return-that would free up a scholarship wouldn't it?
