Lighten up Francis. I guess it isn't a real Billiken game unless there's something to b&tch about.

It is a standard channel on my basic DirecTV package. No added fees.

If Rammer ever has twin boys he intends to name them Slobo and Yayo.

Rammer has declared that 'Wyoming' is a word he created that means "no state here".

"In the immortal words of Jean Paul Sartre, 'Au revoir, gopher'. "

UW has let me down so many times since Romar got there. I'm not sure they get past Marquette.

Every win by an A-10 team brings a share of the TV money to the conference which is then split by all the teams (including SLU). Hell yes I'm rooting for X. I want to see Richmond, X, and Temple in the damn final four.

Well it would be the first time all year he blew off another station for 101FM. I think RM makes promises and forgets about them. Frank also mentioned that Rachel has been sick and is not in the office today. I think KFNS just couldn't find him.

After looking at the other teams in this tourney....... Is it safe to say that if SLU doesn't win this tournament the NIT committee was right to keep us out?

word from Bernie Miklasz is that RM is quite upset over NIT slight.

Great interview. Majerus just slammed Chuey's, there goes another sponsor. Lol

Hard to say, I've always been under the impression that the NIT sets locations, matchups etc more on projected attendance than anything else. It was just a thought.

SLU has said before that if they have a game where they know they'll have a huge crowd (Mizzou, Illinois, Duke etc) they would consider going back to Scottrade for it. You might not care how many tickets are sold...... but when you are talking an extra 10,000 capacity, you can believe the athletic department does.

I'm thinking SLU v Illinois @ Scottrade

I believe CBS college sports is showing all of the A-10 games except for the first round and final. They are not listed with the teams yet, just "A-10 Quarterfinal game 1 etc".

Worth noting - Erik Kuselias (who I usually disagree with on most things) agreed with Jay's assessment.

I sit on the band/student side of the 'Fetz and that IS what a lot of the students were doing. Keep in mind there have been a lot of new faces in the student section over the last few games and they might not know how the regulars do things. During games earlier this year when it was only the die-hard students coming, it was absolutely a "Push-It" chant. During the broadcast you'd probably have trouble telling the difference. I honestly don't think any real sports network would refuse to cover a good game due to a student section's reputation. It hasn't kept West Virginia off of ESPN. If anything they'd simple turn down the heat on the mics that pick up ambient crowd noise. Of course if the A-10 had refs that got things right the student wouldn't have a reason to say that.

Dude, its the in-house feed that they show on the scoreboard, that's gonna happen. Think of how opposing fans feel when they have to watch the Southwest bank guy dancing on our feed.

Bills getting cocky on offense. Lead down to 6.

A poster on the UMASS board says they are without two of their best defenders, Gibbs and Farrell.

I'd add Charlotte to that as well as I've seen a few different places list them as OUT after yesterday's loss at home.

Search for 101 ESPN and you should find it. The app simply pulls the streaming feed from online over your 3G/WiFi. You cannot record and it does not play in the background.

Imagine a very muscular rooster with RMs face.

-Baseball and Softball coaches spoke: They need better facilities. Softball coach thinks this could be a big year for them. Baseball coach still seemed overwhelmed by how good things went last year and is hopefully they can continue to improve. Baseball coach is a pretty fun guy, first introduced himself as the new soccer coach. -Compliance talk: Referenced and explained the new rules on boosters having "influence" or relationships with recruits or players. They were pretty open about the rules being a direct response, in part, to Calipari's practices. Promising associates of kids 6-mo "consultancy" jobs for say $50K in exchange for delivering a recruit etc. It was asked in jest, "WHEN Memphis has to vacate all of their wins under Calipari, will they celebrate their 2,000th win all over again?" -Rammer spoke for a few minutes, told crowd to welcome the folks jumping in the bandwagon. -PM spoke (I think the team might have been practicing just before/during the meeting): -After 8 days trapped in a hotel with RM he is sure glad they won those games. -Femi might be able to play starting with the UMASS game. Confirmed PE and JR were still considered done for the season. -Said this group of kids really buy in to what they are taught. Each guy, including PE, DY, managers etc is given opponent's plays to look for and is to yell them out when they see them coming. -Expect CS to start tomorrow but thinks the matchup should allow them to use a good amount of a 3 forward lineup as well. -There view on the Rhody game is the same as has been discussed here on the board, it comes down to SLU defense vs their good shooters. -Was asked about the team's greatest recruiting need, said help for KM and then started talking about MM. Said he's been recruiting MM for a long time just like KM. -The reason KM came out for a bit in OT against Dayton was that he was cramping up and exhausted. That's about all I remember.

+1 I love the Urkel sign and gave it/him credit for more than one of the Dayton misses due to his "Urkel magic".
