BillikenROAR

he would be playing with sophomore status and a seniors age.. (prep school + 1 year at toledo + 1 year sitting out) .. give me someone who has more upside..but then again..we would be getting a clone of kyle cassity..and we all know how much big rick love him some kyle cassity.. pass on this guy..he is a dime a dozen

The kid looks good..hopefully he is a good character kid... cuz he looks like an idiot on his youtube interview...

P.B. should be taken off the board because he is basketball retarded..

we hang w/ them at home..we still dont win.. we get beaten convincingly on the road.. still believe we lose 10/10.. ps...everyone must be going "absolutely insane"

anyone who thinks that we could have "hung with butler" this year is absolutely insane... they were better than us in virtually every aspect of the game..rebound better, tougher, smarter, coaching (push), AIR GORDON, have multiple scoring threats....so please don't fall into some fairy tale land where you think we had any shot at playing with them...they would win 10 out of 10 games this year for sure.. im saying we may match up better next year..but to say that this year would be ignorant.. just because we are billiken fans doesnt mean we have to think we could hang with any team in the nation...

interesting coach on USA team.. Rich Gray, St.Louis Eagles, AAU, MO ...

Nobody will be able to top John Stamos...

ESPN really also thinks highly of this guy...if they still think MM is still deserving of an 82 grade, RL must be unreal... he is a 91. Loe, from Westlake High School in Auckland, NZ, is the #1 overall prospect in New Zealand's 2010 class and was highly coveted by schools in the Big 12, Big East and ACC. Loe is a big time commitment for the Bilikens, he brings immediate size at 6'11 235lbs. What's most impressive is Loe's skill set and versatility to play both inside and also on the perimeter. He can stretch the defense with his shooting ability and use his size and strength to be a force in the post. Loe is a perfect fit for Coach Majerus and his system with his passing skills and feel for the game he will have an immediate impact for a very young and talented team already in the upper echelon of the A-10.

I'm in st. simons, ga... (home of adam wainwright) .. where can i watch billiken game? slu.com? ustream? any link? redtube?

Lunardi looked like he was late to the set of sportscenter and didnt have time to change out of his Gryffindor gear he had on at the Hogwarts convention he attended earlier in the night.. which, ironically, is paralleled with the mechanics behind his bracket "on the bubble" teams..

really good they called cody ellis a "transfer".. doug G needs to keep to stealing credit cards..but he was on board the billiken bandwagon.. i wonder if we can get anyone besides timmerman and burwell in the STL media to hop on too..(aka get off mizzou's dick) jay williams should stay off his motorcycle tonight.. did you see the half court shot on gameday? i want the billikens on espn every night..

end this stupid debate .. Listen, you Froyo freaks, you face-painters, you hoopheads of higher learning: Before you rush the court, storm the court, wreck the court … rush your butts back to your seats while I explain something. You're doing it WAY too much. This isn't karaoke Tuesdays. It's not a scheduled event. True rushing the court happens to a school once every 20 years or so. It should be, "Oh, there's Professor Krumpke. Let's have him tell us about the time he rushed the court." It's like walking down the aisle: If you do it more than twice in your life, you're doing it wrong. It's spontaneous, like a flash flood. It's unpredictable, like Publishers Clearing House showing up at your front door. It's as unstoppable as a sneeze and just as unplanned. It carries you away like a tornado. You suddenly find yourself on top of the rim and have no idea how you got there. You people are treating it like it's your weekly Spanish lab. Or poker night. You can't e-mail about it ahead of time. It'd be like penciling into your calendar "Make out with Halle Berry tonight after winning Oscar." And it can't be something to do just to get on TV. You wanna be on TV, go bother Matt Lauer. I'm talking to you, Indiana. You rushed the court this season after beating Minnesota. Minnesota? Really? How is beating Minnesota cause for unrestrainable joy? It's like pantsing the chess club. The win clinched your spot in the tournament? Big deal. Sixty-five teams make it. It's like making the White pages. Cheer from your seat. I'm talking to you, South Carolina. You RTC'd after beating Kentucky both this season and in 2005. It's supposed to be, "Hats in the air! War's over!" Not, "I really want a picture next to John Wall!" I'm talking to you, Illinois. You RTC'd when you beat No. 5 Michigan State this year. Even Illinois legend Dee Brown was cringing. He tweeted: "No no no no! … We are Illinois! Winning should be normal." Sorry, Dee. Illinois has a new motto: "We are Illinois! We really like to pregame!" I'm definitely talking to you, Wake Forest. You RTC'd when you beat North Carolina last season. They were third in the nation. You were fourth. What's going to make you storm the floor next? New nets? This has got to stop. Therefore, here are the Ironclad and Unbreakable Rushing-the-Court Rules. From now on, you can NOT rush the court if … • You've won an NCAA title in the past 20 years. • You've been in the Final Four in the past five years. • The team you just beat is not in the top three. • Or is ranked within 15 rungs of you. (Somebody do the math for Wake.) • Or is really a football school. This includes Florida, Texas and Ohio State. Get over it. • You've beaten this same team in the past five years. • You won the stupid game by more than 10 points. There is no such thing as a PRTC (Premeditated Rush The Court.) • You're a university and you just beat a college. • Coach K comes to your coach's clinic. • You have a dead-mortal-lock lottery pick on your team. • Your team has appeared in a recent "One Shining Moment." I don't want to hear "It was a signature win!" I'm not signing off on it. I don't want to hear "It was the first time we've beaten a top-10 RPI team in six seasons." If it's a stat your mother wouldn't know, forget it. Nor will I stand for "It clinched our spot in the NCAA tournament." Big deal. Sixty-five teams make it. It's like making the White Pages. Cheer from your seat. Now we understand here at the Court of Court Rushing that there are occasionally unusual circumstances. Therefore, here are the Official Amendments to the Ironclad and Unbendable Rushing-the-Court Rules. You can rush the court if: • Your arena is closing down forever after the game. That will happen this week at Freedom Hall in Louisville and Mac Court in Oregon. Fine. Dig up the boards, too. Take the chairs. Knock yourselves out. • Something stupidly wonderful happens, like a 90-foot David Blaine Special goes in or an air ball bounces off the ref's head to win your conference. Fine. • You are Wisconsin-Milwaukee and you are 0-37 against your cross-city rival Marquette. When you win you should rush the court, then City Hall, then the Miller factory. • It's the first time you've beaten your archrival in 10 years or more, and one of the following: (1) they still have your goat, (2) they stole and painted your best physics professor, or (3) they're going to end up making PILES more cash than you. • Jihadists have kidnapped your power forward and are holding him captive near the key. Finally, if you are in compliance with the Ironclad and Unbreakable Rules, make sure at least three of you hoist the center. Otherwise you'll drop him, causing him to rip a rotator cuff and, consequently, miss the rest of the year. Then people will egg your dorm room until you graduate, which will be never, since every professor will hate you, too. Now get out there and remain seated! -thanks rick reilly

I heard John Stamos is singing the national anthem...

John Stamos is to the Billikens what David Hasselhoff is to Germans.

If you were a chick, who's the one guy you'd sleep with?

I was told from a reliable source that John Stamos will be at the game. I was told to keep it on the down low, but its freaking Jesse Katsopolis! Somebody better get a big head cut out of him and wave it during Xavier free throws. I don't know what could be more distracting than that mans beautiful mug staring right back at you, thats the most sure way to make a man feel insecure. Talk about intimidation. Go Bills!

This was on the ESPN Insider "Rumor Central" section this morning... Can the Billikens dance? 7:43 AM ET Saint Louis Billikens Top Email In a down year for the Pac-10 and SEC, the Atlantic 10 conference expects to place between three and six teams in the upcoming NCAA tournament. Ranked teams at Temple and Richmond lead the way, with Xavier, Rhode Island, and Charlotte hanging around above the crucial 50 RPI mark. Hold up, you forgot about Majerus. The former Utah coach hasn't been able to schedule up as well as his rivals, as his team hangs around 90 RPI, but a 7-3 conference mark and a favorable stretch run has St. Louis fans gambling on a good showing in Atlantic City. According to STLtoday columnist Jeff Gordon, the belated arrival of Aussie forward Cody Ellis, just in time for conference play, was just the spark the Billikens needed to stay in the hunt. "The Billikens are 7-3 since Cody Ellis finally arrived, with two victories against Top 50 teams," Gordon wrote. "By squeezing out precious conference road victories at Duquesne, LaSalle and St. Joseph?s - and by dodging disaster at home to St. Bonaventure - SLU became a threat. The conference tournament should afford the Billikens their opportunity." If the 6'8", 240-lb. freshman can propel the Billikens to home wins over Xavier and Temple in the next two weeks, and continue to score and rebound well in the conference tourney, the forgotten A-10 contender could have Majerus back in a familiar place: the NCAA tourney. Joe Lundardi A week to bust the bracket "Saint Louis could spoil and/or get into the conversation because of its closing stretch of games against A-10 contenders. Two among the bubble teams and/or an upset conference tournament winner will join the top three in the Big Dance, tying the A-10 record of five bids in both 1997 and 1998."

That Linsey Vaughn is one piece of ass, I know from experience dude. If you know what I mean.

For the people saying he is just pointing out the facts and leaving it for debate or whatever bull ###### you seem to be on..get your head out of your ######! Although it is unfortunate what has happened...look at the radio situations which made up half of the article... IT WAS A FFJAING SNOW STORM! THERE WAS LITERALLY NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE ABOUT THAT! how can you defend the guy? yah its raising debate.. but in a debate there are 2 sides..and this ###### only ever puts out the bad side of slu.. maybe a positive spin on the billikens would change my opinion..but this guy is like the tmz of stl.. if you think this makes for good debate then if he just came out and wrote "i hate slu, debate" would you also stand up for that? give me a break.. the media is against slu in many ways and all we can do is win. thats it. luckily we have a very young and talented team whose future looks bright. i hope we all remember this when they jump on the billiken basketball wagon in the next few years... i believe this is the most exciting part of having a young team is watching them grow.. but the stl media takes it the other way.. its unfortunate .. too bad the "smartest fans in baseball" have no clue what is going on in the college basketball world..

How many morons are going to comment on this subject? It blows my mind how people on this board jump from one extreme to another on each and every subject just so they can have an opinion, when most of the time, they have absolutely no idea what is going on with the program. That includes local media such as the bernies, JM's, joe strauss's who get on twitter and bash majerus, yet have never been to cover a game. They only feed the negative and bash slu for wanting to "be bigger than it is" when in fact, they are such self absorbed pricks who only laugh at each others jokes. I hope that someone pushes this back in their face when they are trying to cover games when its fashionable.. and they get off mizzou's dick... and for everyone who is bitching about skipping the 101 show... why dont you put a little thought behind your comments before you post...this is the problem with some slu fans, they feel that they are in some exclusive fraternity where they are the only ones who need to be catered too.. well if we were packing chaifetz every night and had a rowdy crowd, i would agree..but we have a bunch of white tops who sit on their hands in the expensive seats and dont even wear blue or white to the games.. enjoy the fact that majerus goes on W freaking GN... let him get the word out.. let other people talk about him and take notice of what is going on down here at slu... he will probably give a better interview anyways because its not the same old crap each and every week he talks about with the same people.. god forbid he doesnt give timmerman some more crap he can turn into a negative.. let him do his thing.. he has been around good programs way longer than we have even been good.. i wonder how much of this people will be saying next year when we are winning?? we need to start acting like a program that can deal with success and what comes with it...not complain because our coach isnt here to hold our hand and walk us through what he is doing..

a better question is WTF is up w/ that first clip of willie missing that break away? looks like a sportscenter not top 10...luckily only 32 people were on hand in pittsburgh to see it..

i enjoyed frank's report... it was funny because he spent the whole report talking about how good he was to the program but how he was probably going to redshirt.. then it went live to the studio and went completely opposite and says cody will play..

I believe the Big Ten should stop trying to add a new team. If the BCS turns into a playoff, it could benefit the Big 10 now because if there were a playoff, it would mean more games in the post season, which would give the big ten an advantage with the weeks off, especially if the playoffs moved the schedules of games up a week or 2.. and secondly..if they didnt have a clear cut argument on who the number one team in the conference was..wouldnt this give them more of an argument to send multiple teams? say if both teams were in the top 5 at the end of the regular season, and one team pummels the other, the loser likely drops out of that playoff picture..and wouldnt mizzou suffer greatly from joining the big 10 in terms of getting recruits? just a thought

how can anyone take this article seriously? especially when it is followed on the page with another article entitled "Indecisive Hurdler Discovers Breast Implants Don't Improve Leaping Ability"... "During Gottlieb's freshman year at Notre Dame, he stole credit cards from a roommate and fraudulently charged over $900 to those cards. Subsequently, he was kicked off the Notre Dame basketball team and eventually convicted of misdemeanor fraud."
