    this is the first year i've had the game almost exclusively on the tv through espn+.  i used to just alt+tab like a pyscho watching the game and talking sh!t in the GDT.  you can do this, focus.  it's important to do both.  helps with the W.

    This. But I always have to do stupid like put the kids to bed and then get behind and can’t participate. 
    if I was watching on my computers I’d be like 8 minutes behind lol

    2020 A10 Games and Comments

    Here are my A10 rooting rules:

    1. Root for SLU to win all games
    2. Root for all A10 teams to win all of their non-conference games.
    3. Root for A10 opponents that SLU plays twice (Dayton, Duq, St Joes, UMass, LaSalle) to win all of their conference games not against SLU
    4. Root for top 6 or so A-10 teams to beat bottom teams so more teams have an NCAA or NIT chance.
    5. Generally root to maximize number of NCAA bids (upsets in conference tournament, perhaps Duq beating Dayton, etc.)

    As such, I'm rooting Duq, Mason, UMass, St. Joes (rule #3 trumps #4/#5 because SLU's interests always come first over optimizing A10 teams in NCAA/NIT until/unless SLU is eliminated from postseason consideration)

    I like your thinking, but often to prioritize the ultimate benefit for SLU, often I have to root for some of the higher ranked teams to lose to help with conference standings. Getting that double buy for the conference tournament is (usually) so important in determining results.

    I wasn't going to post this before my friends and I were covered - and we're good, so post away.

    If you're thinking about going to this game, jump on this deal. Even if you can't make the reception, it's well worth it. Tickets on StubHub and SeatGeek are currently starting at about $80 before fees. (SeatGeek has the game listed as Missouri-St. Louis Tritons at Dayton Flyers, which is hilarious.)

    Normally, they put the SLU group up in the 400s on the far side - probably section 408. So the seats aren't great, but you're spending less than half of what you would on the secondary market if you go through SLU.

    Agreed. When we were getting them through slu in the past you are way high up in the dark. My son and I got good tickets as a Christmas gift. We’ll be there for the reception before then will be up by the band. Tend to make the surrounding fans very mad at us 😁

    Need to split kstate and Auburn. Win the last 2 non con at home that puts us 11-2. 13-5 in the conference puts us 24-7 would it be enough?

    that’s a fun website I found where you can plug in different game results and get a projection for where would be in the net rankings/NCAA tournament seeding. Basically we have to win against Auburn or have a nearly flawless conference season.

    If anyone is in Dayton for a game or whatever, hit me up. It’s a good place to be and id be happy to show you around, recommend restaurants or bars or anything else you are interested in. 
    and @billikenroy, my wife and in-laws both are civil servants. Echoing the sentiment of previous posters, they work super hard and get paid half of what they would in the public sector. My wife is in charge of a program to help females in the Air Force actually be able to function in their roles. Did you know that in 2019, while more women are enlisted, they wear the same body armor in combat as their male counterparts? A 110 lb women swimming in an armored vest designed for a 250+ lb man? This is one of the myriad of issues that she is trying to resolve for these airmen. Btw she has a SLU science degree and an MBA, and is doing her best to perform her civic duty.  I thank her for this, and you should as well. 
    I know it is the talking point of the day to bring these people down in order to accomplish a wider political agenda. Please use your SLU education that taught us to be critical of dangerous views that damage other people in order to gain a personal advantage. And please leave these insults of my family off the Billikens board.
