We should all make it a point to attend Arch Madness in our Billiken gear next year.

SycamorePride keep on taking shots at Josh and his family. I want all of his players to see you for who you really are.
Here's the thing, even if Schertz did get all these donors riled up to donate and try to meet his "demands", he's motivated boosters to make a financial commitment they weren't previously ready to commit to and thus put the basketball program there in a position to spend on a new coach and or the NIL market.

It's a tough read over there.

That thread is getting hot and I'm here to watch that fan base make a$$es out of themselves. They don't have a clue about the modern college basketball world operates. It is a business. Not a single one of them would turn down a job offer in their field that they want Schertz to turn down. It is just complete ignorance on their part and I regret feeling bad for them during this whole process.
I would have advised Michael not to wade into those waters.

Sycamore board has gotten ugly today but favorite post thus far is from a guy that said" I hope SLU finishes 28-5 next year with a 26 NET and misses the tournament". He then goes on to make the claim that ISU and SLU are equal MM's.
Someone might want to let this guy know he just described Dayton, who earned an at-large bid as a 7 seed. In fact, Dayton had MORE losses and LESS wins than ISU. If SLU finishes the A10 next year with a 28-5 record, they're in the tournament regardless of bid stealers. That's the difference between the MVC and the A10.
I'm waiting til I see Schertz holding a Billiken jersey up before I head over there for some laughs.

I think our new President may have a bit of a different view on May's leadership. When this person is hired he will hear from the big money people who at the very least will say - keep your eye on him. This Ford fiasco has wounded him. You don't get Chaiftz yelling at May in public in Chicago after the L of C game if everything was hunky dory.
Yep. I think Matthew Jakobsze is here to do a little more than NIL.

I have no doubt he did swallow his pride but I can assure you he did not do it voluntarily. He saw the train was leaving the station and he could be on it or left behind. If one thing about May is true - people in general, they will survive. I am not sure we have really disagreed on much lately maybe some nuances but basically we have been on the same page on this matter. I have tried to respond to this poster with logical and respectful comments. I see nothing wrong with that and his response to me has been respectful.
Correct. He could also have resigned and retired leaving the department and boosters without a figure head. Kinda where ISU is at. It’s not totally dissimilar to Biondi/Levick dynamic.

I doubt May is driving this bus. Chaiftz and others pulled this off. There is evidence that someone else's fingerprints are all over this situation. May's MO is to drag it out and take a very deliberate and slow decision making approach. This moved with lightening speed.
You and I have disagreed lately, but don't feed this troll.
Again, I think the way CM has ran the department culturally speaking is below average at best. He deserves a bit of credit for swallowing his pride and realizing he's not the smartest in the room.

ISU fans not far off. SLU annual tuition is now $50,000, the Fetz is a half-empty morgue, few students attend ... and for good reason, the team stinks.
I am once again asking why a school that hasn’t been to an NCAA tournament since 2011 is making fun of our basketball history.

It’s pretty funny to read the comments. Enjoy this doozy…
During the Spoonhower days and to a lesser extent when Majerus coached there, there was moderate interest in the program. During the Spoonhower tenure they were playing in the Enterprise Center and had really good attendence, and that was partly because Charlie was a folk hero of sorts. But other than that the interest is average at best. If HCJS makes the move it will be because of the money. When the SLU rich kids get bored, Biff and Buffy will drive their BMW down to the lake for the weekend.
This guy hasn't seen a movie since Grease.

Thanks. I noticed that too. After I bought my (one) ticket, I noticed the option was gone and like I said, there were only 10 left when I started my order.
If you click on the actual seating chart for the floor seats, it comes back as an error or unable to proceed or something like that. Cool! Hope that's the case.
I bought two.

It does seem a little nitpicky to me. Posters on here have been confidently posting for weeks that Schertz has already decided to come to SLU. I haven't had the chance to listen to your podcast in the last couple of weeks (sorry!) but I suspect you and Pete have said similar. Apologies if I'm wrong about that.
So posters and podcasters are allowed to speculate that Schertz is coming to SLU. But Frank on 590 isn't allowed to say something similar?
I think it's the tone and general level of certainty to go along with the timing of it with the Schertz tweet yesterday. Feels braggy moreso than reporting, but again that's probably nitpicky and I acknowledge that. I understand where you're coming from though. I have more or less said I predict that it will be Schertz and all signs point to Schertz being the guy but stopped short of saying that it is a foregone conclusion.

I was thinking the same thing when I read that post. I know reporters want to break the story but this seems to be the exact thing Schertz has been fighting against. If Schertz is coming here, and is taking names, Frank might find himself on the outside looking in.
Also the kind of thing that could blow everything up.

I recognize that he tends to be a "fanboy" and is prove to overstating certain situations, but Frank just said on his show that today is "the last day that Josh Schertz will be the coach at Indiana St" Just a few minutes later he said that someone at SLU told him that the NIL money will be there to bring the Indiana State studs to SLU
I realize this is going to come off nitpicky but a bit of me doesn't like the attitude of talking about Schertz like that when he's been so adamant to not speak on the situation. Seems a bit rude. Idk. Not shooting the messenger, Drew.

Top 5 Billiken memory of mine. Fun to watch a game in a new environment for that novelty. A good night spent with my dad.
One of mine too, one of the few in person Billiken games I was with both my uncle who made the Billiken fan I am today and my mom for. Was sitting way closer than I had at Scottrade and center court.

They have upgraded it a bit. But it's still a dump. I'd rather watch it there than any other feasible option in the area(Enterprise is not one of them)
