When and where did you serve? I was with the Big Red One in Nam. Dungeon Yankee was my radio call sign for a special two week mission.Hey Box thanks, that means a lot to me coming from a Pinko like you.
-
schedule a game in a recruit's home area? For example, BE is from the Detroit area and we are playing at Detroit this year. BC is from the Eugene area. Will RM attempt to schedule a game at Oregon to give BC's familily a chance to see him play? Any thoughts appreciated.
-
the bills play 30 games excluding the postseason, that is, 26 regular season games plus 4 in the vegas tournamant. i understand a team can schedule 27 regular season games plus any games in an exempt tournamant. could they have scheduled 1 more regular season game if they had wanted to? and if so, why didn't they ? if not, why?
-
hmm, last year i read how BE was listed too tall at 6'7''. now the implication is that his 6'6" listing is too short. this kind of stuff could lead a man to drink!!I agree. I think everyone of those listings is a least one inch under the players actually height. Cassity is at least 6'5" and Femi is more than two inches taller than me.
-
well, some people chase lisches and some chase lushes. in my more formidable days, i was among the latter.lisch daniel will have his hands full with chase daniel. they'll probably neutralize each other to form a whole new player, "lisch chase". which is one of my hobbies, peculiarly enough.
-
yep. word on the street is that he is a good passer and sets up others with pin point accuracy. However, he doesn't score very much or play any defense.who is chase daniel? is he a walkon?
-
I checked around and BE is listed at 6'6" on the StLtoday site. The rest are the same.Wow, RM has shrunk the team again - KM listed at 5-10; Reed - 6-9; Thompson - 6-10; John - 6 -2; Cassitty - 6-3, Tommie is down to 6-4... on the plus side, apparently Barry's offseason work has paid off because he has grown to 6-7!
-
Thanks.The new roster is already out on slubillikens.com.
-
listing all the players with their new (true) heights and weights? BTW, is there anyone on this board who thinks Chase Daniel is really 6' tall. I say at best 5'11" and probably 5'10"

SLU among the "cream of the crop". All SLU grads should hold their head up high. CongratsSLU is ranked #80 among national universities in the most recent U.S. News rankings. Unfortunately we have been passed by Marquette, which is now one slot above us at #77. We are tied with Clark University and the Colorado School of Mines, two universities about which I know very little.
Among Catholic schools in the top two tiers:
18. Domers
23. G-Town
61. Fordham
77. Marquette
80. SLU
108. Sweater Vest-Wearers (Dayton)
116. Loyola Chi-Town
127. San Francisco
130. Duquesne Gas Grills
Our acceptance rate was 80% - that seems awfully high.
-
If true, that would answer all my questions.I heard from someone who might know that the schedule is suppose to be released tommorrow.
-
Thanks. I understand that both Liberty and USC Upstate are home games, but don't count as part of the 27 game regular season maximum because both games are part of the exempt tournament.the Liberty game is at home on Dec 19

If all 4 games of the Las Vegas tournament are exempt, that gives the team the opportunity to play 31 games (in addition to their 2 exhibition games) before the conference playoffs start.
-
If so, that means that there are potentially 3 open slots.I've heard SLU doesn't play Missouri State this year.
-
It is my understanding that all Division 1 Men's BB teams are allowed a maximum of 27 regular season games plus any games played in an exempt tournamnet. The schedule on the home page of this site lists 16 regular season league games. The 4 tournament games appear to be USC Upstate, Liberty, DePaul, and either Creighton or Fresno State. There are 4 away games listed, i.e., SIU, Nebraska, IUPUI, and Detroit, and 3 home games listed, i.e., Samford, Kent State and Boston College. Thre are also rumors that we open with UMSL and play Missouri State. That leaves 2 open slots. Does anyone know who these other 2 might be? Or are my calculations wrong? If so, how?
-
What's the word on his future? Where is he going? Or is he staying? He is one of the 4 that was mentioned as leaving.
-
I believe we have offered.Hell, we haven't offered a scholly yet (according to Billikenreport's posts) so maybe this is all moot. To me, our biggest priority should be a big man.
-
Thanks.Correct.
-
So if he goes to a junior college (either Vincennes or Indian Hills), he uses up one year of eligibility and then goes to a 4 year school with 2 years of eligibility remaining. If he goes to Div.1 UWGB, he sits out a year and has 3 years of eligibility remaining. Plus AT is at UWGB.
-
Didn't RM say the heights listed for the Billiken BB players were inflated and that he was going to list everyone's true heights this coming year? If he does this, it wll be interesting to see the differnces, if any. I suspect BE will lose 2 inches.
-
I also think it would be in RM's interest to have an African American assistantThat would have given him a chance to recruit Harrelson to SLU- just kidding.
I think any organization is better served today to have a diverse makeup so I would agree.
-
If he stayed and RM had 2 open schollies, would RM make him walk on? Again thinking out loud, any chance MR and AM stay and fill the open schollies. Stranger things have happened in sports.or maybe he could try to walk on. He would be an asset that knows the system. Of course, if he were forced to pay close to full tuition than that could be tough
-
Thanks. When you say AM might stay at SLU, do you mean on BB scholie or as a non BB scholie student? There are a lot of possible ramifications if he stays. For example, if no other recruits are brought in, he could redshirt and see what happens in 09. Just thinking out loud.I think Mitchell is looking for a JUCO or he might just stay at SLU. I'm not sure what Relphorde's plans are.

Does anyone know if these 2 guys have found a new home yet?

I had the honor of being present when the military burried Lt. Blassie at JB a number of years ago. If you recall, Lt. Blassie was burried at the tomb of the unknown in Arlington until the military tested the DNA of the remains. Blassie will be the last ever in Arlington's tomb of the unknown. If you haven't visited Blassie's grave at JB, I suggest you do.Please take a moment in between beers and BBQ to remember the sacrifice given by our military and their families. If you've ever been to Arlington (or JB for that matter) you view a day like this differently.
Go Bills!
