He was on with Frank and Bob today. Appareently he is a friend of Majerus. In the interview he gave the quote that is now my signature. Here is the link to the interview http://kfns.com/vdDynamic/AudioBits/2-AudioBit2997.mp3

The Falcon's website says the 17's play in an adidas tourney in St. Louis this weekend. Does anybody know where this is at or when they play?

A newspaper reporter said that Mascoutah went scoreless for 11 straight minutes, including getting shut out the entire thrid quarter. That was where the game was won/lost.

I wonder when Bernie went to an East St. Louis game

Nate, check your pm's.

Nate, do you(or anyone else for that matter) have a schedule for the Fort Zumwalt South Tournament that is next week? It runs from 27-30 I believe. Any help would be appreciated.

They planted the flag becuase they thought that Mich. State ran the score up on them last year when they hung 63 on the Illini.

And so the influx of talent to Manhattan, Kansas begins.

It was about 39 minutes and 45 seconds.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/si_blogs/ncaa_tourney/2006/ It seems a little premature to me to be ranking the 2006-2007 season but I was excited to see the SIUC Salukis crack the top 10. Good for them. FUTURE Billikens.com sponsor of Kevin Lisch

Apparently Coach Bennett forgot to look at the other 3 teams in the final four.

Just reported on espn, Kelvin Sampson is the new coach at Indania FUTURE Billikens.com sponsor of Kevin Lisch

JB is better than Price. Belleville West's coach has acknowledged this fact. Price is living off of the reputation that he gained by winning the Illinois slam dunk contest as a freshman. Price is the better athlete but as far as a basketball player, it is without a doubt JB. FUTURE Billikens.com sponsor of Kevin Lisch

As much as everone on here wants a power forward, if this guy was worth it, the answer would be a near unanimous yes. the fact that it isn't speaks volumes. FUTURE Billikens.com sponsor of Kevin Lisch

Kevin Young starts over Grimes. If anyone has seen Young play and know how terrible he is, the fact that he starts over Grimes isn't a ringing endorsment for him. There is no way I would take him if I was the Billikens. FUTURE Billikens.com Sponsor of Kevin Lisch

I know previously on the board someone had posted a website that listed alumni of colleges and what professional basketball teams(NBA or otherwise) that they play for. I was wondering if anybody could post theat site if they have it? Thanks in advance for the help. FUTURE Billikens.com sponsor of Kevin Lisch

Apparently Chicago State is willing to take a whoopin' for it. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/colle...ack=1&cset=true And the Bills are willing to pay 50k to get in on the fun FUTURE Billikens.com sponsor of my man Kevin Lisch
