He did not apply for the IL St. job, but he does have connections to CL. This is one that is not as far fetched as some others. If something is already in the works Monty would make sense and so would O'Niell

NO WAY. One year choaching high school, does not qualify you for a D-1 head job.

Will be intresting to see if he unloads on Biondi.

Right don't we just toss Roy and Coach K into the mix. I think some people are really misinformed about where SLU is considered in the pecking order by choaches around the country.

Bobby probably would have never considered SLU. He told Grawer it was a bad situation twenty years ago and to take the Bradley job when he had the chance. Things have changed, but I don't know if they have changed enough yet.

If we could get a honest answer to where RA was headed before this.

The timing is terrible. I believe someone is already lined up for the job. If not this maybe the dumbest move ever by the administration.

On the Athletic Department's part. It makes me wonder if this was all Bioni's call.

I just heard from someone I trust completely that they had recently raised the money needed to cover any buy out of Brad.

I feel pretty good about this. This kid wanted to come here earlier and almost committed until his uncle got involved. He has aldready passed on IU, UT, OU, and OSU. It seems that when he says he is looking for immediate minutes he really means it. SLU has more minutes than UI.

No where in the post does it state where he is leaning. Got to love all the negativity on the board.

I agree with you there. It is almost like they are morbidly holding these pieces just for when an incident like this happens. I really didn't want to get into this argument, but here I go. If you want to change the law there is a process behind. Change the Constitution. You cannot decide what rights you like in it and what rights you don't. They are all guaranteed rights. If you want to change the law on this issue that has to be done. I, personally, am a supporter of the second amendment.

Yep, thats me. Lets censor everybody!

not get into this debate on here. This is not directed to anyone specific on here, but no good is going to come from this topic being debated on this site. It is just going to end up getting a lot of people pissed off at each other on here.

Maybe we are just looking at it two different ways. When it comes to the media, political, business, and socail elites Imus has a much larger influence. Thus his influece is then multiplied many times further down stream. When it comes to eyes and ears alone Scott reaches many more people than Imus. But, I will concede that Imus has a far larger influence than Scott on the total public debate. Imus has for decades had influence over what the public debate is due to the fact that so many opinion shapers listened to his show. Courtside sometimes I just like to have a good debate on here. Everything I post isn't always exactly what I believe.

Saw this on a news site earlier. It is just sickening. A terrible occurence.

Among certain demographic groups, yes he does. The overall population, I would make a pretty good bet that he didn't. On the public overall both had very little influence. Neither of them come close to having the influence of an Oprah or even a Jon Stewart.

I will say confidently that more people in America knew who Stuart Scott was than knew who Don Imus was before this incident. Stuart for the past few years has had one of the highest Q ratings for anyone involved in the sports broadcasting business. Having high profile journalists and politicans does not make you influential on the population as a whole. It makes you influential in those circles. I already conceded earlier that Imus was influential in those circles. His rankings have not been in the top 10 in NYC for the 12+ book for years. Certain demos yes. But overall his ratings have lagged for years. He drew and delivered results for advertisers to certain demographics.

Fair enough on the suggestion I made when it came to your political tilt. Imus, averaged under 500,000 unique viewers every week on MSNBC. It was basically the same 300,000 to 400,000 people watching daily. Imus was not even in the top 10 rated morning radio shows in his home base of NYC. What Imus did deliver was a very desirable demographic for advertisers. I do not believe that translates as overall influence on public opinion.

I hope you are wrong about that. If we want to be a solid tournament team Luke Meyer would not be an ideal starter. Some of the names being mentioned in the recruiting battles right now are better players than him, IMO. I like Luke and he is one hell of a gusty player. That doesn't mean he should be an automatic starter for a team that hasn't been to the tournament in over a half decade. This team needs an immediate talent upgrade.

Drew, I think you are really selling BH short. In fact along with KL and TL, I think BH is the only sure starter. Hopefully the guys we sign will at least push and hopefully beat DP and LM for starting spots. I like both guy and think they can contribute to a tournament team. I have a hard time believing either of them could ever be starters on a non-bubble at large tournament.

This story started to get some national play right away? A few hours after Imus made his comments he was called out for them by Fox News host John Gibson on his radio show. The reason the story didn't stick and get wider play immediately was because Imus was and is friends with many liberal news people and politicans.

Courtside I agree with a lot of what you posted on this topic, even thou I get the opinion we might come from different sides of the political spectrum. But, I disagree with you about the impact of the Stuart Scott comments. Stuart Scott his heard by far more people on a regular basis than Don Imus ever was. Between ABC, multiple ESPN TV networks, ESPN radio, ESPN the magazine, and the ESPN website Stuart Scott has a far greater reach and influence than Don Imus has ever had. Don Imus was well known inside the beltway and amongst the political and social elites. His influence never extended beyond that group.
