I checked the message boards that I could find. And I could have honestly missed it, but could you provide links. Since I haven't found any info like this at all anywhere. Steve

You are right, I didn't change them from Sloan's total. I will fix that later tonight. Good eye, thanks Steve

>>It will be alot of work but I think you are up to it steve. We'll see about that one.. lol. That is a lot of stats to compile. It is quick for more current players since I have all my season stat files in Excel, so I just got to make sure the columns are lined up, then copy and paste. But I only have stats back to 1980 I think. I recently requested more from John Garrison, but he is out of town at the moment. So I will see if I can get those. As for HS and Juco stats... Umm... maybe not. I will do the current players and work my way back slowly. So let's just see what happens. If you want the stats from way back to 1980, I got them. You can get to them from a link on the front page. Steve

I am going ahead and making them. But only for current players on, if I really end up with some time on my hands. I may back track, but do not count on it. But one question, should I include Bryants Villinova stats or no? Steve

So I made two career stat pages. Tell me what you think. If you like them. I can make them for most players (I have made it easy for all of the players on THIS team... Past teams could be tricky though. Are they worth making? http://www.billikens.com/statistics/player...03-04/sloan.htm and http://www.billikens.com/statistics/player...3-04/fisher.htm Steve

http://www.reviewjournal.com/lvrj_home/200...s/21828553.html 'No Vacancy' sign still posted on Mountain West doorstep UNR among six schools interested in joining By STEVE CARP REVIEW-JOURNAL To the six schools looking to join the Mountain West Conference, commissioner Craig Thompson has one simple word of advice: patience. Thompson said the eight-team Mountain West has made no commitment to expand and is no rush to decide whether it will. "There hasn't been a vote to expand," he said Monday in Las Vegas. "Right now, we have a subcommittee of three people looking into the pros and cons of whether we should even have discussions. We're not going to hear what they have to say until sometime in September. "We still have four schools without athletic directors and four schools have just hired new presidents. Until we get all of our vacancies filled and everyone on board, there's not going to be any serious expansion talk. If someone wants to be in our league, they'll have to have patience." Thompson wouldn't say which schools have contacted him, but it is believed UNR, Hawaii, Fresno State, Boise State, Texas Christian and Tulane have expressed interest in joining. "I think we need to see what happens around the country," Thompson said. "We know the Big East has to expand and they're going to expand at the expense of another Division I-A conference. There'll be some movement in the next 30-60 days, so we're going to follow that closely." Thompson said if the league opts to expand, it likely won't wait for the NCAA Management Council to decide in April whether the Atlantic Coast Conference can stage a football championship game with fewer than 12 teams. The ACC expanded to 11 by adding Miami and Virginia Tech. "If we're going to come off (eight members), my guess is it would be before the Management Council decides," Thompson said. "If they say you can have a championship game with 10 or 11 teams, we can always revisit the issue." But prospective MWC additions might not find it so easy to remain patient because they're facing pressure to make long-term commitments to their current leagues. UNR athletic director Chris Ault said informal discussions with the Mountain West have been held, but the Western Athletic Conference wants to know the Wolf Pack's athletic intentions. "Let me put it this way," Ault said. "My immediate concern is with the present. But it's important I have a clear vision of the future." Nevada legislators and some members of the Board of Regents would like to see UNLV and UNR in the same league, as in the mid-1990s, when both were in the Big West. Also, Fresno State officials announced the school would no longer accept academic nonqualifiers, hoping to make its standards compatible with the Mountain West. Hawaii is reportedly exploring the feasibility of subsidizing travel for its mainland opponents if it were to be invited to join the MWC.

Really, I thought Sportscenter said there was one scholarship taken away (in the future, all current scholarship players are fine). I could be mistaken.

Nope, SLU was not one of them. 2 of the others that I remember that were mentioned were Boise St. and Hawaii. They listed them all, SLU was not on the list.

Yep, I was right, it was included in the majerus bit (Utah is on 3 years probation for a bogus reason IMO) The mountain west has been contacted by 6 school Tulane, TCU and 4 others. I don't know what to say about the lack of talk about it, but that is what sportscenter said. Steve

It was on the West Coast version of Sportscenter. Not the 10 O'Clock, but the Midnight one. I am going to try to catch one of the repeats (actually I just turned it on, and I think it is somewhat near the time when they said it), we will see. I will post to confirm or correct. Steve

Hey, I never remember hearing about it Nash..Would you like to share what the URL is... All I have to say is that my first couple of years online. When I was still members.aol.com/SluSignGuy, it was a good day if I got 10 hits. And probably half of those were mine own. The domain name and especially the board have improved this site's visability. I have been very very very lucky. It is tough to get noticed out there on the www. Steve

I just heard on Sportscenter that Tulane and TCU along with 4 others schools have requested to join the Mountain west. I could have heard it wrong, but I am pretty sure that is what was said. Steve

Oh boy, see what happens when FRIENDS find out about Billikens.com. Just brings no good. But oh well. I know another friend of mine has registered on here, won't say what his user name is, but hey Denny. Steve

Be sure to be logged in. Then click Conferences. On the left side of the screen there should be something like "You have a new message" You can also go to User Menu, then click Inbox in the left hand column. I am writing this from memory, but I am pretty sure that it is correct. Steve

Ummm..... I wrote that rich....

Welcome to the board Roy's Daughter. I would just like to say that everything in your post was written by Steve in a joking manner. If anyone took that seriously, I would fall out of my chair laughing. We love ya Roy... Steve

I have just have a hunch (I am watching the Louisville game while I work on a little project (btw slu72 I am still waiting to hear from you, check your pms). And I have thought for the past couple of years that Sloan is very similar to Jeffers. He came in being defensive intensive. And maybe he was held back some with the give the ball to perry attitude. As Jeffers was held back some by Love. I dunno, just a hunch. I bet Sloan is at least our #2 scorer next year. Anyone with better basketball eyes disagree? If so why? Steve

"please don't discourage those that do from using this Billiken.com not BillikenBasketball.com " actually it is Billikens.com, not billiken.com, just a little note (many people make the mistake, I am almost tempted to register billiken.com too and just have them forwarded to this site, along with billikenboard. But I haven't yet, and I don't think I will, but I am tempted. Anyway, I am okay with soccer talk. Doesn't do me any harm. I would create a soccer board, but when Nark had one on Rivals, it had about 5 posts in 2-3 years. If the demand is there, I will make it, but so far i like the way it is now. Steve

Bump!

Let's have a poll!

Well, I think it is common knowledge...ahem... ahem...that high school aged kids are the best posters and biliken fans. I mean there is no contest. Seriously guys (and gals). jk Steve
