  1. I even make a cameo in there. Also anyone know whatever happened to the kinda dorky South Florida fan that used to go to all the games? He was a huge USF fan and would wear suspenders and a like a carnival barker hat with bull horns? Ended up kind of just becoming a SLU WBB fan. @Pistol you remember this guy right?
  2. Long grain rice, instant pot 1/1 water ratio, hit it with some kosher salt, pressure cook, 4 minutes, decompress for 20.
  3. This is Calipari and Kentucky learning from the greatest point guard to ever play the game of basketball: Travis Ford.
  4. https://tubitv.com/movies/330135/the-gray-seasons bonus is that it has interviews with Shimmy and Levick when Brad got fired.
  5. Correct. I think the fan sentiment around Ford was really warped by the last two years under Crews. The talent level dipped so sharply that we were all begging for recruiting instead of looking at the big picture. I haven’t gone back and looked but I’m probably one of those willing to or wrongly look past the red flags for a guy who had charisma and could bring in recruits.
  6. Yes. It’s on Vimeo. I can’t get a link right now. it’s called the Gray Seasons
  7. Available meaning not working? I’m quite sure there were up and coming coaches available.
  8. See the thing about that is…the criticism of May has nothing to do with on field winning or losing. Rather the dysfunctional culture under his leadership.
  9. I’ve seen the really sweet side of Shimmy, but she enters another reality when basketball is involved.
  10. Working for the Big Ten Network as an analyst
  11. You’re all missing the weirdest one including a tweet by a former SLU Womens Basketball Coach.
  12. Minnesota perspective https://gopherhole.com/boards/threads/wnit-championship-game-gophers-versus-st-louis-4-6-24-siue.114681/
  13. I know. I've actually posted on multiple occasions that I don't read. It's not some new insult.
  14. You thinking this isn't already in the works, and not grass roots is adorable.
  15. Stadium aside (which we really are just asking for stadium seats and a press box in the same setup as now), these non-revs are lacking the absolute bare minimum to match Big East programs. SLU baseball received a donation of brand new led lights from an alumni. It didn’t come with money to install it. May declined to budget the installation or allow crowd funding even though the field didn’t have lights in proper working order. They have to play all day games. The new turf wasn’t even installed til February and there was doubt they’d be able to play home games on campus. They had to bus to the grizzlies field for practice. A donation was on the table to renovate the Softball playing surface but was apparently rejected by May because he wanted all donations to go to the OCC. He’s consistently taking credit for these programs success while just inexplicably letting them play in sub par conditions. The OCC also does not support all SAs. For instance you have to shower before using the ice bath, but baseball for instance don’t have showers in there
  16. For the second time. The question is whether Schertz could have run the offense with this past seasons personnel
  17. My issue with May and everyone else's should go way deeper than a Men's Basketball hire. The arrogance with which he runs the department has created a culture of warped "gratitude" where the student athletes and rank and file employees should be grateful for anything they get. Darin Hendrickson just won his 500th game at SLU and has to fight tooth and nail to get any upgrades to his facility just to bring it on par with the Big East. The Champions Center was built with the promise that all SLU athletes would be able to access free breakfast, that was not true yet is still shown on his SLU profile. Track and Field has a home meet meal for the team in the OCC and athletes had to pay for it. The department is under staffed and overworked and May hides from any confrontation or negativity. I said that my issues go deeper than a men's basketball hire, but that hire put SLU athletics in a major financial bind without an NCAA Tournament apppearance.
  18. Things have changed quite a bit. I don't think they understood 2 months ago what they truly needed to be comfortable. Matthew Jakobsze has brought reality to the department on what it takes in NIL.
  19. It's what happens when you have confidence in the coach.
  20. plot twist this is written by a former UNews writer
