    I'm enjoying the photographic proof.

    I got an old Gorpro I can donate and probably some Cat5 cable too.  But there's this new thing wifi they could use . They should get the AV Club on this

    Honestly they had issues with the camera all weekend and it wasn’t there today. I believe them on this one, but they should have better infrastructure for broadcasts.

    I’m surprised the Go Pro mount cost the university $10. I assumed it was just something they rummaged out of the lost and found.

    Yeah this is the kinda thing you get in a kit that’s 20 bucks. It’s likely worth $2.50

    I really really want to know just how old he is at this point. I'm sure he's very nice in person. I know many folks who are near intolerable online, but are lovely in person.

    Is it sad that both 05 and I checked to see if there was a Tony Murkens on Facebook?  

    There is an Instagram that follows STLFC under the name. Looks dormant.

    my generation invented Facebook creepin’

    I’ve felt SLU marketing of its athletic programs has been pretty bad the last few years. One of the worst examples was the Bronze Boot game last year. SLU basically sent out a couple emails, from the SIUE side they were bombarding alumni, current students, anyone they could get ahold of with daily emails and other social media posts. Just one small example

    Somebody let them know that 10 years later, I am still available....

    Is Tony real? Every other tweet I change my mind on it

    He doesn't have a facebook. One would expect a person of his, uhhh demographic to have one.

    The perks may put Kelsey's overall salary way over the top. Things like a radio show (is Louisville a TV show?). Product endorsements. Recall Spoon had a bunch> Nextall phones, My Olive pickles, Lou Fusz, SLUCare, etc.. Did Ford get any of those?

    Bommarito is the most obvious one. Obviously I don’t listen to the radio broadcasts unless I’m in a 2 men and a garden pickle, but I’m sure he had a radio spot or two. His teams also weren’t really good enough or popular enough to be in the forefront of St Louis sports. Unlike Spoon.

    It gives them room to go up.  If it doesn't work he can go in 3 years.  If it does he's extended with a pay raise.  This is how a rational program works.

    It also has an auto renew clause that I believe adds clarity to the mythical Ford contract extension.

    Yes that has crossed my mind. I think at this point them losing the next game is worst case scenario.

    Can you sign a more legally binding document while you're under contract at another school? That just doesn't seem like a thing you can do but I know very little about how contractual obligations work.

    But I'm sure old guy can tell me. 

    I don’t think it’s going to matter how or when they finish. Don’t go down that thought experiment, you can argue both sides equally if you think hard enough lol.

    I think that’s exactly why he’s still tweeting, if he were radio silent, it might be pretty telling that he’s gone.  He wants to win the NIT, and keeping the fans engaged has helped with that up to this point. Their atmospheres have been great, and I’m sure he wants a ton of fans at Hinkle. It’s in his best interest to keep them thinking they have a shot. 
     

    Again, I have no inside info, but the multiple reports of Louisville needing to pay us a buyout to sign Schertz has me thinking he has already signed something more binding than an MOU.  

    if we're going down that train of thought, and I think you're correct. You're also leaving them, if you leave them with an NIT championship, they are going to remember you fondly regardless of whether you left right after. Again, he's a pro and this is the right way to treat your fans. Do your best until the end, and that includes treating your fans to the best possible experience.

    The only two we need to keep on this list are Hughes and Thames. Hughes is self explanatory. Thames has something nobody else on that list has, something which can't be taught, either you got it or you don't, Thames has it and you need players like that around.

    Curcic I’d keep for his shooting looks like he could be a really nice depth piece next year.

    Does he seem like the kind of guy to piss off that entire fanbase? You seen what he's been tweeting after all these games? I just don't think he would be saying all that if it was already decided.  I would just stay silent and go about my business. It's getting to the point to where if they make a competitive offer and he still leaves it's going to be awkward/ a bad look for him. Again this just all my negative Nancy opinion.

    And there's a ton of that fan base that thinks he's just playing the PR game.

    They saying their people close to Schertz are telling them he has made no indication he's signed anything or agreed to anything. 

    I'm just being a dirty MBM cause I care too much about this. 

    I’m not shooting the messenger. Just pointing out the flaw in logic that the MOU would be a lie. SLU I guess could bluff an MOU, but idk.
