  1. US Army Field Artillery Officer, Kuwait 2001, Iraq 2003.

    way to go A Bomb, congrats and thanks for your service. I did my AIT at Fort Sill, OK and trained in Fire Direction Control. MOS was 13E20. spent 5 months in C&C Center in Nam with 2/33rd Arty as RTO. all the Arty officers I knew were great guys. however, casualty rate for Arty officers was pretty high as they spent a lot of their tour with infantry. 4 hours before I was supposed to report as forward observer with infantry, army changed my orders. we had a saying in nam that if you survived, the rest of your life was "gravy". i have come to believe that it was God's will that i made it.
  2. 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.

    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!!
  3. SLU 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.

    SLU among the "cream of the crop". All SLU grads should hold their head up high. Congrats
  4. the Liberty game is at home on Dec 19

    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.

    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.

  5. 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?

  6. That 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.

    I also think it would be in RM's interest to have an African American assistant
  7. 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

    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.
  8. I think Mitchell is looking for a JUCO or he might just stay at SLU. I'm not sure what Relphorde's plans are.

    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.
  9. 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!

    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.
