I think the Springfield schools got out. I think Lanphier was one of them that dropped. Maybe even Springfield SE. I agree that the Peoria sports scene is catching up to Chicagoland, but there's still a lot of work to be done in terms of facilities and top-tier coaching.

I would watch 24 hours of Jai Alai to sign Jai Lucas.

I've already got one "Ad Majerus Dei Gloriam" t-shirt being made for the games.
How about the following:
Uh oh, it's Majerus (from the old Cars song, "Magic")
If It Looks Like a Billiken and Talks Like a Billiken, It's Majerus.
Recruited by Soderberg- Cut by Majerus (for your average student body)
Humphrey's and Majerus -- 30 years of tradition, winning, and great food.

I talked to Kevin and Bryce last night and they both gave me this sort of "wow" look when I asked them about working out with Majerus. I love it. Put 'em to work.

That is awful. I was at Wrigley in 2002 when Joe announced that DK was found dead and I don't think there was a dry eye in the entire building. It is another sad day for baseball.

Richwoods/ND baseball was the best rivalry old Jerry Rashid was involved in. We won 6 straight MS-6 titles from 1996-2001. I was on the 99-01 teams and every time we played Richwoods at your place, it was under the lights, and Rashid always would say, "If you can't get up for this game, you might as well not even get out of bed." I became good buddies with a lot of RHS guys after we graduated and went to college, but we took that baseball rivalry pretty seriously. It was a lot of fun whooping Dave Lang's boys.
I was kidding about clashing, Dave. You're an ok guy. Even if you have the Trojan/Knight combo in your family.
-
You're a Richwoods guy? No wonder we have clashed so frequently. My mom went to AOL/SI (Class of '73) and I went to ND (2001). I bet we know a lot of the same people.

I'm going to be there.

Edmonds, per my sister, who is friends with him at PND, wanted to play ball at SLU, but was not recruited. I responded with a "typical." Soderberg never recruited anyone worth while. Thank God he is gone. My Dad played baseball at QU and my uncle is the head of the Board of Trustees there, so I know that a lot of people will be watching the Hawk's Nest this year.

Cheryl is prettier than Mr. Heisman Winner.

During the Soderberg era, whenever the AP ran pictures of the bench, in particular our assistant coaches, one thing always stood out -- the average person wouldn't know JG from Kenny G. I mean, our assistant coaches under Soderberg didn't move on (except for Beane, which was a crooked situation) to better jobs or take head coaching jobs at smaller schools (which, I think is the goal of every "assistant coach") or anything like that.
Fast forward to the 2007-2008 season. It looks like we will have Porter Moser on our bench -- a solid and proven winner at the D-I level and a top-notch recruiter, who will make immediate dividends to the program. The future is bright for Saint Louis basketball -- we finally are getting rid of horrible assistants (I don't know much about Angres, so I won't speculate on the job he will do) that did nothing to boost our program. The guy who recruited Horace Dixon should have been ordered to wear a sandwich board outside of West Pine.
Go Get 'Em Porter! Welcome to Saint Louis University.

I'd rather work for Cheryl Levick than Mike Garrett any day of the week.

Thanks for the update.

Great quote from the Marquette board, and proof that I was right all along with wanting Soderberg's head on a platter:
"SLU got it right this time and they learned their lesson: Don't hire a Badger to do a job that needs a Warrior."
Excellent quote.

Adolph Rupp was also a bigot.

Rick Majerus returning to coaching, to be named SLU head coach at 2:00pm today

Update regarding announcement time @ 1:04pm: The announcement may occur between 2:00pm and 3:00pm. Things are still a bit in limbo, but the announcement will, regardless, be today.

Rick Majerus, former Marquette and Utah head coach, will be coaching for SLU as related to me by a very reliable source from within the SLU administration. It's great news of my alma mater; he's a great land, especially since he'll be here right as a brand new, multi-purpose arena is finished. Chaifetz will be rocking very soon....
More information forthcoming. Stay tuned.

Nice read. Having worked with Kirk for a year at the JS, I can tell you at least he's done his homework. Unlike some of the "wing-it" guys at the Post-Dispatch. Being a Peoria guy, I'd love to see the Bills at Carver Arena every year.

1. Yes, I saw him on campus yesterday. He was here! RM isn't the Easter Bunny. He is a real human being.
2. As God as my witness I saw the man.
3. No comment.
4. No idea.
5. No Montag, but I did see Arli$$ on campus.
6. Sure.

Julius wouldn't even give Phil Connors the scoop.
"Ned...RYERSON!!"
"Bing!"

"What is the deal?"
Seriously, the last week has been painstakingly brutal for everyone associated with Saint Louis University and our basketball program. Everyone is excited to have Rick Majerus on campus and talking with players, etc., but what is the holdup? Why has a deal not been made? This rests squarely on the shoulders of Fr. Lawrence Biondi. Get it done, get our team moving in the right direction and get Billiken fans back to the games.

How 'bout the band The Cars come to campus and play their hit single
"oh oh it's Majerus!"
Grammatical error

It should read
"Welcome, Coach."
I think we covered comma usage in third or fourth grade, if I'm not mistaken.
In any event, I'm glad to have Ricky Baby on board.
