    This completes the fourth season of 20 or more wins (COVID exception). I think this might be the highest winning percentage for four straight seasons in program history. Is that right? How far back do we have to go to find something better?

    And just look at the guy. Hes clearly not a day over 26. If he keeps its up, he can be here as long as he wants,  surely right?

    •Hickey 54-58 is the right answer, under a single coach anyway if my quick calculations are right (and across coaches if I eyeballed it correctly.)

    pawn shops too. The one on S Broadway and the one further south on Lemay both had some few months ago. 

    I'm not too worried about coming up with a machine.  It's the tapes that are the tricky part.  Id just love to see that Illini game in the dome again or any number of old games from the vcr era.  But alas, it's not likely to be.

    √ CL >for sale>electronics

    Yeah I always forget about CL. I've had some success with it though and it might be a nice end around the Goodwill and the lockdown in this case. So long as I can find enough PPE and those danged clorex wipes for the meetup.....

    Ha all very true. I’m continuing to work on a scenario where I can record the dvd using Zoom video screen sharing. Ripping it has been futile 

    Yeah I don't know about Zoom video sharing. I have a framemeister so I can record to digital from most any source. But I don't have a vcr any more but would love to get one again and this would be more than enough excuse for me.

    Can @billslasttermdropout and you get together to get it on dvd or digital? I can take it from there!

    If he finds it, he can message me and I can get him an address to send it to (preferably a copy, but no worries either way I can send it back if need be) so I can digitize it.  This process will take some time.  Not the digitizing itself, just me getting to my mailbox, digging up a decent vcr, and finding the anticipated 5 hours or so.  If I could get it in my mailbox by the 8th of May I could probably have it done in under a week.  After that I don't know when my next window of opportunity will be but happy to help.

     

    Edit:  Actually, might take a bit longer because I forgot I very well might not be able to just run out and buy a vcr from the local resell shop at that time due to COVID19.  I would get it done though, eventually.  Just may need to order one and then wait for my next chance to work on it.

  6. Yup, that's the main problem right there.  No, the classic sports Napster revolution will not be televised, sadly.

    Also, if you do somehow manage to obtain any and aren't able to transfer them I will gladly do it.  This, friend, seems to be the only way.

    Shame on them hoarding our cultural heritage without even giving us a chance to pay for the "privilege" of experiencing it.  Pure short sightedness and stubbornness with maybe a dose of ignorance, but I highly doubt it.

  7. But why the previously mentioned unpinning?  If the D league is in his future, we should wish him success.  An entrance counselor in DuBourg once told me SLU's not for everyone.  Wise words unfortunately ignored.  

    Hopefully though, this is nothing and everybody, including CG, is in uniform in the fall and ready to work the A10 into submission and put the bejesus into the Beast.

    Hines goes 1 for 80 on a 30 point billiken loss. Barry Hinson spends the final 30 minutes of the game and halftime selling bottles of barbecue sauce to SLU fans while his assistants finish out the game. Markos Psimitis scores a billiken-high of 15 points in the final 2 minutes as he goes on a shooting rampage. Pestello announces that all players are being suspended indefinitely and that the basketball program is moving to NAIA for budgetary reasons. Chris May engages in fistfights with enraged octogenarians after the game. Oh and Ford announces his retirement and SLU announces the hiring of Chris Lowery.

     

    It will be a lot better than what I witnessed in Indianapolis. That was straight out of Clockwork Orange.

    Best...post...ever.
