Has anyone seen Cody's twitter recently (more like late last night). I remember the first time I got drunk also Cody, it's alright. Stay classy Cody............ Here they are: God I wish I had game...I really don't...I hope billikens.com is reading this and realizes I can't shoot or post I suck at basketball and i should quit...I also blow my own dick anytime i get the chance..btw I wish I still had @salecich15 swag Hey @EvansDwayne21 remember when you put your nuts on my nose

Kind of rough to joke about during this game, but thought it was pretty funny. From twitter: tmckernan Here come the Billikens. I think I'm going to get on this train for the second half. Ah...wrong choice of words.

When I asked Smith, he told me he is for sure going to keep JJ here no matter what. In my opinion, I believe that JJ was set on transferring but is having doubts now.

As I stated 1 week earlier and had both of my topics/posts disappear, let me say this again: I currently coach high school basketball. RM told a coach from a different team in my league that JJ was going to or thinking about transferring (because he is recruiting someone who has killed my team the past two years). I think RM has an idea. However, one of my current players and one player who is a sophmore at a nearby college plays pickup sometimes with these guys and talks to them. As of now he is not 100% sure he is transferring.

Skip---Do you believe me now when I said earlier JJ was transferring? Last I heard is that he is not 100% sure and Jon Smith is trying his hardest to convince him to stay.

What happened to the post I had last night stating that Justin Jordan is transferring and not even finishing the year at SLU? As I said in my first post I'm not sure how reliable the source is (and I think he might be confused with Reid), but if true is a pretty big deal.

Not sure how accurate this is but.....I'm a high school basketball coach and rumor is that Justin Jordan is leaving SLU, in fact not even finishing the semester. When another coach told me this, I thought he might be talking about Reid (still think he might have the names mixed up), but he swears it is Jordan. How the other coach knows this is RM is recruiting a guy in our conference (the league I coach in) very hard.

Wasn't Bogut going to transfer if RM stayed there?

Mizzou has made it to the tournament and elite 8 the past two years, SLU hasn't. Mizzou does have the upperhand here because they have more money. They don't need this game as much as SLU. Slu needs to improve their schedule, Mizzou doesn't. Another thing for Mizzou is it's a lose lose situation. If they beat SLU everyone will say they were suppposed to, if they don't then it doesn't look good for them to lose to a school not in a BCS conference. I hope SLU schedules it so we can prove to not only people in Missouri but also St. Louis that SLU isn't a weak program because we don't play in a BCS conference.

With the A-10 going 0-2 so far (Xavier should win) maybe the A-10 wasn't that great too.

it also still takes time to change the perception of slu basketball in st. louis. They had their media exposure with Xavier and didn't win. People I work with think that SLU basketball is just not that good. Also, it's easy for them to use the Illinois/Mizzou argument that they have a chance of being in the dance but not SLU. It takes time to change people.

I hate the forward progress rule in football and hate the call when the shooter jumps into the defender

Have the announced the crowd totals?

We also aren't giving up offensive rebounds to them (I did just get home to watch the game), and the stach on the head coach is awesome.

I have been following all the talk about the student turnout on this board, and decided to go down to the game and check it out. I am currently a graduate student at SLU. I went to purchase a ticket and they told me it was ten bucks. Is it ten bucks for all students or ten bucks because I'm a part time grad student? If it is ten dollars for all students now I understand why there are no students at games (even when school is in session). When I was in college, I was broke and there would be no way I would pay ten dollars for SLU to play a no name team (yes this is including half the teams in the A10). How awesome is UMKC offense? I loved it, all back doors and pick and rolls. It would be interesting to see WR, KM, FJ, and the new recruits in that offense. Is it me or does SLU just play to the level of their competition (Rockhurst/MO St/Notre Dame)? I currently coach basketball at a high school and the number one rule is if you are 3 feet or closer from the hoop you shoot. If your not open to shoot you pump fake and then shoot (keep in mind H.S. refs will give you any call at the basket). Maybe SLU should follow this rule. Can SLU please have people wait until there is dead ball before going to their seat? SLU needs to sign up the guy who won $1,000 dollars at halftime, I'm positive he won't be afraid to shoot the ball and have a higher 3 point percentage.
