There is really only one realistic option for a Bills theme song... Hater Hater by Tommie Liddell [media]

I see the same ending to that game about 30 times a year. Why do so many teams shoot 30 footers when they have the ball down by 1? No need for a three, take it to the rack and see what happens. Teams always seem to do that. I dont know why they wouldnt drive hard to the rim and crash the boards. You could also see the LaSalle coach telling him to go with 6 seconds left. I dont like them waiting that long. Go to the hoop a shade under 10 so you are left throwing up a prayer.

Cry baby!

That's good for the Bills but Ill always have a special spot in my heart for Valpo. The Drew's are a great STL basketball family and this was one of the most exciting plays in NCAA history [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0haGKGiX9qA

In that case.....Happy Birthday Coach!! You dont look a day older than this person.......

As much as we want to blame the students and complain about the blue hairs, the real problem is the lack of people aged 25-40. This is the age group that should be filling up the last 2-3 thousand seats but they just arent there. I am a 32 year old season ticket holder and when Im at the game and take a look around, I hardly see any other people in my demographic. IMO these are the people we have lost from the Spoonball days. Most of these people left for college in the late 90's early 2000's. When they left the team was in a decline and the intrest was already fading. When they returned four or five years later the team was awful and would continue to be awful for the next 6-8 years. This is where the problem is. While people my age were away at college they were unable to follow the Billikens very easily, the internet wasnt what it is today and there was only 1 ESPN. While they were gone they picked up new teams to follow, this team could be the school they are attending or a national power that was always on TV. When they returned from college, the internet had exploded and ESPN had a dozen new channels. Now, even though they are back in STL, the need to follow the home town team was gone. Since almost evey game can be watched from home a hometown team could now be in the Pac 12. This demographic could stay "loyal" to their new team and watch almost all of the games either online or on HD TV. These are the people that are missing from the Spoonball days. When I would go to those games they would be loaded with grade school kids and now those same kids arent going. When I have an extra ticket and ask a buddy to go, most times I get answer like this; "no thanks, the (insert BCS school here) game is on Im going to watch that." Many of these people are having kids now, and at least in my circle of friends, these people all say something like "I cant wait to be able to take my son/daughter to a Bills game when they get older" so hopefully we will begin to see a new group of 20 and 30 somethings attending the games with kids in tow. But the question is how do they get the 30 year old guy to come to a game with his girlfriend are a group of buddies? IMO that is the missing link to a sell out, I just have no idea how to get them to the game.

We may have lost to a team led by the Hanson brothers, Micheal J Fox, and Alan Thicke but the experince they gained by having Cody run the point can not be measured.

Either last year or two years ago they gave out Billiken ice scrapers for your car. I thought that was great. And I remember the night they did that it was snowing so they actually still came in handy. I still have it in my car. Those are the type of things that don't cost a lot, people need, and every time they use it they will remember how they got it. (Personally I hope I dont have to use that thing again this winter)

I think Temple knocking off the Bonnies last night ended any real hope. I was pulling hard for them but they just couldnt pull it off. I was shocked before the game when I saw the line was only Temple -1

I think that would be a huge help. It doesnt matter what group, it could be Greek, ROTC, choir, GLAD whatever floats your boat but when you recruit campus orginizations you are recruiting 50-100 people at a time instead of 1 at a time. Plus when you get the frats to come to games the sororities will follow. Get sororities to come to games and more male students will come to games.

I was reading the game thread on the richmond board here are a few observations they had: 1. The cheerleaders and saintsations are hot! 2. Rich Gould is terrible

"You are the biggest losers in the history of college students." Ha! you better keep your eyes peeled in class tomorrow. I agree though, Well done Sir.

This. The last two game it seems he knows what he wants to do and does it. early in the year he looked hesitant and nervous. Hopefully, after seeing how the offseason hard work paid off for Conklin, Cory will decide to do the same thing in the offseason and come back like the beast we know he can be. But that is something to worry about later. Im just happy to see a low post presence if BC gets into foul trouble.

Always remember not to take anything from the Mexican porn slappers. If you take one "business card" from these guys you will have hundreds of them slapping those cards in your face. Its funny at first but losses its humor when they wont stop following you down the strip.

So I guess you are a chubby chaser?

I heard the announcers saying it was close to a sell out. WHen the game ended I ran up to the gas station and heard the post game show, Rammer said the attendacnce was 3,700. Im guessing it only holds around 4,000.

Any idea if that Shell station sells beer? I don't know how the ratings work but could the ugly first half play a role in the ratings? To be honest, the first half of that games was far from a thing of beauty. I love watching the Bills and the suffocating defense but if Im watching a game with no rooting intrest Id rather watch a high scoring, fast paced game. I know a lot of my buddies, who are not SLU fans, watched the first half and then turned on another game. Im pretty sure if the game had a different flow to it they would watched the second half. Once they prove to the area they can be a tourney team year in and year out the ratings will be fine but until that happens I dont see a lot of non SLU fans tunng in.

Cassity did fine tonight. He had some nice drives to the bucket and took a couple other shoots that were in and out. He played 13 minutes. His role is to give the starters a breather and that is just what he did.

" PLAYING SAINT LOUIS is the basketball equivalent of a trip to the dentist office. Sit in the chair for 2 hours while the shrill of the drill drones on. All you can do is hope to survive and lose as little blood as possible." http://www.philly.co...l#ixzz1lr9VVlMn Watch sports videos you won't find anywhere else Ive never hear of this guy but the he is a pretty discriptive fella.

What a finish!! but Austin Rivers has nothing on Cody Elis. Wait, maybe he does.

Besides the officiating great game to watch. Ive been waiting all year for one of out shooters to get hot like that from the outside. COuld not of come at a better time. Its funny, going into the second half me and a buddy were saying how cold Cody had been the last few games. I said "maybe he is getting tired becasue this is the most games he has played in 3 years" (half of frosh year, shoulder injury last year) I guess he isnt getting tired.

Yeah I heard that also. The series is also 38-37 in that time.

I use to teach safe touch/PSR/sub at SGM
