Where do you park

I wanted to go also phone does not work

Is the real reason they closed because the forgot to put turtle soup on the menu? any news on a reopening?

That does not mean stop guarding them or stop watching them Perkins took a swipe and lost contact the guy fell into him as he was moving to the side and Perk got foul called on him

Correct we have a fragile return of Perkins for the first half where he had a “setback” which sometimes happens and now he is such a smart athlete you can see him play protecting one leg willing to “flop” rather than be twisted by contact. What a guts performance and we all anticipate a return for him to full strength even if we never see him play “unguarded” in his final year with us

Always take the earliest morning train at 5:00 AM something even though the second train seems to give you an hour leeway or more. Fewer freight trains and you mostly zip straight through

Gibson has gotten more minutes and been beaten up by the opposition worse than any player in my 30 plus years of watching you would have thought Thatch or someone else who is tough would have taken his defender out. I am from the ESide and would like to see Hargrove set a pick that puts a dirty defender on his back. Gibson will stay to prove out his talent if he gets some help- no coach in the country would give him the minutes Ford does.

Some recruits don’t fit. They may have the same skills but need permission to show them- that is what I thought DJ. Should have been a starter scoring 20 points but Denarius was will to play behind others and sit on bench

I like Ford but believe he needs a big man coach. This team isn’t playing any defense and Ford says he is trying to hide that with the zone. Offense always sucks if players rush their shots and have poor screens to shot behind. Our bigs should be screens and rebounders.

Should these two get more playing time

Ready to start a new year and reward those who are truly interested in the happiness and success of the Billiken student athletes As noted earlier several have earned degrees already. We seemed to be successful at educating these youngsters so many are being acknowledged for student achievement while putting in the hours to compete in sports

Sincere Parker and Hargrove could get more minutes at the expense of Jimerson and Picket and withe the way our centers played not sure why MoMo Cisse sat the whole game. the way Illinois played and S.L.U. played you wonder if people shave points?

Not allowed to use butch words for female dogs?

We have two or three groups of fans at the moment: 1) apathetic if it rains or snows they watch on TV 2) fair weather: if we win three games they show up if we lose two they stay home 3) the really dedicated who ***** on the Billiken Messsge Board but think buying a Tshirt is a major donation

I like Ford but I do think this year’s team needs to step up defensive effort to steal the ball an rebounding seems sporadic in effort. I hope Cisse and the freshmen get to play a lot in the SIUE game

Sounds like a hurt player; my recollection of Perkins first year after he played at SWIC was he was better as a sixth man when you needed some key baskets- with this team not playing well together, not stealing the ball; it would seem to me we use him in the best possible instances and limit him. He has never been strong.

Grawer preferred Gray in lots of ways- Grawer is the same coach who had Clagget on the bench while he played his son and Winfield’s son. Grawer belonged in high school

Did MoMo Cisse see any action

Thanks for score; Jordair one of those guys you wish never graduated or keep on the Gibson plan for at least six years

I am in Tucson Arizona and no ESPNU how about score once in awhile

I would like to see 7 to eight good minutes from Perkins each half- to me he looks fragile and I am hoping he can build himself up as the season goes on. However, in past it seemed that most players lose weight and possibly strength as they grind out the next three and one half months of play. I do note occasionally we get a player like French or Newsome who seem to add pounds and you half to wonder if they picked up a part time job at A-B

Maryland was not mentioned when the went over the horses in the Big 10 on TV this weekend- they had film on the usuals: two Mich teams two Indiana teams, Rutgers, maybe one more but not Maryland. it will take awhile for Maryland’s new coach to have preseason credibility

I am grateful for whatever we get out of Perkins; I would be more demanding of Jimmerson and Parker and whoever is supposed to be setting screens for them? I live close to Chaifetz but I am not going to watch in person- this game should not be on schedule unless it comes with a player to be named later? why would anyone want Perkins in a a game with no meaning…remember how he got hurt in first place? I think second half of Providence game Perkins warmed up and it may take some time each game before he gets comfortable?

I did some thinking about these first few games: I think Ford is too lenient with is team. We need much more quick screen set ups and we do not steal nearly as much as players as fast as our should. Let’s hope the sample is too small and Jake Forester starts to catch those zinger passes from Perkins and Collins. We could have a special team if they start working hard
