Yeah, it has to be Otto Porter. Apparently he is high on Mizzou, but I do not think Mizzou will have a scholarship available for him. The kid put up some big numbers this past season.

It looks like Utah will be the 12th member of the Pac-10. http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/news...=ap-pac-10-utah

I am sure there are far worse people to be compared to.

What does this mean?

I bet Boise St. is kicking themselves a little bit. It will be interesting to see if the Big 12 looks to replace Nebraska and Colorado or stays at 10. That is going to be a tough conference as far as basketball with them losing two of the weaker basketball programs.

If the Pac 10 decides to go to 16 teams and all of the power conferences (Pac 10, Big 10, SEC, and ACC) follow and get to 16 teams it is going be very interesting to see how this all plays out. If the Big 10, ACC, and SEC raid the Big East of their football schools, what would come of the Big East. Would they look to be a basketball only conference and if so, who would they be looking to add? They would be left with Georgetown, Marquette, Villanova, Seton Hall, St. John's, Providence, and DePaul. This could be a crazy couple of weeks.

Ha, I got another email from the same person saying that there is a rumor that the Big 12 may vote to expel Mizzou.

And manning the glory hole in the middle stall of the locker room.

The rumor is that Colorado has a news conference scheduled for tomorrow morning to announce that the school will be leaving the Big 12 and joining the Pac 10.

If your only measurement for a team being successful is a conference championship.

I had a friend email me with a similar rumor. He said that UT was talking with Mizzou and possibly trying to get them to stay in the Big 12, but that if they do jump to the Big 10 that UT would be joining them.

You are right, the Big 10 wanted the championship football game and they were able to add one of the winningest programs in the history of college football. Now we are all waiting to see what the Pac 10 decides to do. If they move to 16, things are going to get really interesting.

Mizzou is a more attractive program to the Big 10 than Kansas (better facilities, better teams outside of basketball, better academics, and in a better market being between KC and STL). It is not hard at all to understand why the Big 10 has interest in Mizzou.

Pistol is a season ticket holder. I think he just wants to know if one of the cable providers is significantly better for a Billiken fan.

I am not a big SEC basketball fan, but based on what Ole Miss is losing and Georgia has returning I would think Georgia will be the better team. Georgia will have two of the most talented players in the conference and potential lottery picks in next years NBA draft in Trey Thompkins and Travis Leslie. Georgia looks like a potential top #25 team. It is nice that we will be playing them at home.

Ole Miss looks like they will be beatable with two of their top players not returning with Terrico White going pro and Murphy Holloway leaving the program as well as another starter, Eniel Polynice, not returning for his final season.

That is not a very exciting field, but a trip to Cancun to watch the Billikens win some games would be a blast.

That is awesome, great job Billikens!!!

Nice, for people who do not follow the baseball program where does this put us?

Is SLU baseball D-I now? Where do things stand now?

Beal is committed to Florida for the moment, but there has been some talk that he may reopen his recruitment. Kansas would appear to be the school that would benefit from such a decision. It would not seem like SLU is high on his list if on his list. McLemore is from Wellston High School, but will be heading to Oak Hill for his senior year. I have heard there may be some concerns with him qualifying. He is really high on Kansas and there were some thoughts among KU fans that he would commit to KU if he received an offer. SLU would not appear to be high on his list. Mychael Henry verbally committed to the Illini the other week. He is a 6-6 SG, SF out of Chicago from the class of 2011 that the Billikens had offered. BJ Young is a 6-4 guard from McCluer North. I don't know much about him, but am under the impression he transferred to McCluer North from Hazelwood Central this past season after being suspended early in the season. He has put up some huge games offensively on the AAU circuit. I have not heard much about him or what schools are recruiting him beyond area MVC schools.

That is awesome, thanks for the laughs.

I would be a little surprised if they had the hearing already. If they did already have the hearing in front of the judicial board a ruling would have been made at the end of the hearing. I would assume no news is good news from my perspective as a fan, but I have no idea.

I saw that Mychael Henry verbally committed to the Illini this past week. He is a 6-6 SG, SF out of Chicago from the class of 2011 that the Billikens had offered. Henry's commitment gives the Illini 3 verbals from the class of 2011 already.

Are we completely opposed to going on the road to play a high level BCS opponent? It does not seem like we are at a level yet where top tier BCS programs are willing to schedule a home and home with us.
