are you kidding if they let us in they could sell popcorn

3321 viewed the Majerus thread with many hoping SLU would acnowledge the in some way-and some showing why this is not a good fit for us mentioning RM must be seeking exemptions for BB players re academics and one claiming honestly MO state is above average

who would you rather beat? x Dayton GW Umass Rhode Island Temple St. Joe St. Bonnaventure Creighton Bradley Butler SIU Mizzou Illinois Notre Dame Minnesota Purdue

I hope Bernie boycotts also

the press conference Monday because he doesn't like Biondi. Yesterday, it was arch bishop Burke because of Cheryl Crow, today its Biondi- so I guess Slaten will miss all of the Slu games as well as the Cathedral gradeschool basketball games and have less to talk about on his radio-Carpe' Diem-He abd Berbue can do malteds and cheeseburgers and wait until Rene' and Burwell write something for them to repeat

signs; under another thread Billikan Law said he has to pass his recruit exam; if that was not a joke-what limits RM from talking to any one he wants until he signs? He has no problems other than the usual resitrictions against interfering with another parites contract-so he could not talk to Lettter of intent kids or players already enrolled in school.

do we have an extra scholarship if Danny Brown gets a medical redshirt; with Majerus coming in will he honor all of the scholarships currently with SLU or will he have a brutal talk with some of them about wasting their time sitting on the bench?

since when does anybody owe BM anything; I wanted BS to do well and win butt more importantly start showing up as a leader' instead he apologized; only BM could be neglecting SLU all of the last 5 years to not notice-we were idling not driving forward. Now that we are correcting course he still wants to whine. Let him whine about why the cards look like a team that has to depend on its bench more than its regulars if it wants to win

Danny Brown could sit or transfer for my money; he was as likely to lose the ball when he touched as not.

note they come from all over the world from point guard to center we might have a coach who will get us bigs so the DP, TL, KL types get an open lane or someone to finish for them if they choose to pass off

sorry to say that but he makes me wonder about Cho's writings a Virginia polytech and whether we should ever post when the next Tip Off Club meets

when Imo's first appeared on Brentwood; I thought this is great pizza for St. Louis-I was used to tony's on state street in E. St. Louis and Missouri pizza did not measure up-Parente's was okay if you liked thin pizza-when IMO's switched to Provel-I think it had a skim milk base and they lost me. I've been back a couple of times in 20 years but it is not as good as IMO's original-it became budget pizza like the cardboard pizza from 'Tom Monaghan of Detroit-there is a new plade in Soulard starts with an F something like Ferraro's has delivered pizza and it may be our best choice in the city-I am interested if any one has any other suggestions but won't drive too far into the county for anything- wouldn't it be great if RM lived someplace closs to SLu like Charlie did in his condo in the CWE. RM might take a loft on Washington Ave or on Forest Park-I wonder if Charlie still owns his it was walking distance to 5 restaurants even for someone in RM's shape. I hope he hires Charlies son Jay as an assistant

we have way too many media and journalists writing in St. Louis, today. Some like BM, Burwell, Rene' feel compelled to comment on the hot subject of the week-even when they could hardly be considered by the reader or listener to actually follow SLU. We have a history of superior soccer, nationally. We have had a superior men's basketball program and we have had deep troughs of little interest by the fan base as well as the administration's perception that throwing money at the AD would reap any positive return. We have a chance at this point to reach the heights, again. SLU has had ALL AMERICAN BASKETBALL players in the past and we could very shortly, again. Since we lost John Bennington to Michigan state we have not had this level of a coach-we hope

we all wanted Brad to win for him and us-it just did not look like he was anything except a project as a coach. How long do you give a project in college basketball- a redshirt year and 4 years to prove yourself. He got exactly that. He had many admirable traits and way too many things he and we had to apologize for. We wish him well-but Majerus can command things Brad could never beg for. The most important being media attention-has the man not been a major figure with ESPN for the last 3 years? That being said. We are in the show me state and I' remind you what the USA believes in is the sign down on hwy 44 "Jesse James hideout as seen on TV" if it were not for TV Jesse would be a local secret. Because of TV there is a good chance you will want to see his hideout in the Mermac Caverns

If we ever schedule the likes of Harris Stowe, SIUE, Quincy, UMSL, etc for exhibition or whatnot games-I don't think we should pay more than $10 for any seat in the place. And we got lots of people who live here but never came to a Bills game and that truly was a good promo. However, I would like to see A-!0 league games be a premium and prestiege games as well. I don't think you would hurt anything to make the off the street guys pay extra to see league or premium games. and I would print a price on the tickets not sure why they eliminated the price on our season tickets.

the last thing on the agenda of any Billiken fan would be a trip to the past-whatever you say the Valley in spite of a wonderful commissioner will never and I mean never be what it was in the days of the Big O, Wes Unseld, etc when Cincy, Louisville, Memphis, SLU, Wichiita State, Drake, Creighton, Tulsa were the Valley can't think if I have the list perfect but those days will never be the same: we need to be in a league of City Colleges or Church League to show we belong on many fronts. SLU does not appeal to the same students as many of the current members of the valley and the exception might be Creighton who ought to be added to the A10. Bradley and Butler also might be close enough to our type. Nothing wrong with the schools in the Valley but they smack of small town third or 4th best programs in most of the states they reside in. For example I think MO State is a really neat and happening place and I really like the Ozarrks as a backdrop to Springfield's wonderfful people but Wash U. SLU and Mizzou have many levels and lots of years of tradition going for them. Pick Evansville or Indiana state and you have to say Notre Dame, Indiana, and Purdue are the three top tier teams in the state, Take Iowa and Drake and N. Iowa trail Iowa and Iowa State; take Wichita they know they are not KU or Kstate; Creighton only has Nebraska overshadowing and Tulsa always was behind OK and OK state-it is just the fact

RM, and Kevin Oneil, Cuonzo Martin, Jay Spoonhauer all names they brought up

nm

former disk jockey probably never wrote his own stuff before-if we had a PR department they could be filling the airwaves; BM suggested we get the big boys FH instead of sending over our interns that he must torture

Dayton Detroit San Francisco Dons we used to play them and a Denver team quite often? I don't know how they have done lately

we steal the best Church derived teams around the country-who could we get that is unhappy with their current league?

who would you drop? I would only drop teams of lower academic standing as well as support for basketball; Do you agree we would benefit by putting Bradley and Creighton on our schedule if not in our league?

With 31 games: play each time only once befor the tournament and switch home court advantages like we do with SIUC and MOState East Fordham George Washington La Salle UMass Richmond Rhode Island St. Bonaventure St. Joseph West Temple Xavier Dayton SLU Bradley Creighton Duquesne Charlotte

how about if Creighton, Drake, and Bradley join the A10? these are reasonably large cities and each has medical schools, graduate programs, and populations that could produce good rivalries and synergism for the faculty and student body and decent basketball with City Schools being the thread that makes them compatible
