Chris May and the AD have tanked the SLU fanbase. We have elite basketball and soccer facilities compared to our competitors yet we can't take the next step in any capacity. The only exception is possibly women's soccer but even they've stalled out lately. The atmosphere at games is boring and unexciting. This is on Chris May and his buds. We need to focus on the younger fanbase and young families. I say out with the olds and let's focus on youth. The oldies have money but Chris can make them happy with a fake smile and a handshake at a private event but I say give their tickets to people who will bring energy to the games. Look at the NBA and NHL playoffs. All the fans wear the shirts, all the fans know when to stand, all the fans make it a crazy atmosphere. I'm not talking about stupid sh.it like gimmicks at every game. I'm talking about getting people who actually care at the games. Give away the padded seats up the middle. Have tailgates and food for the students pre-game. Not the current type of tailgate where it's a bunch of losers in a suit handing out pizza but I'm talking like a college football tailgate where the students can hardly make their way into the arena. Also can we please get Chris out of a fu.cking suit every game? It ain't 1999 anymore. Hell I'd argue we dump the band unless we can be more like a big school football band. But at least the band has people who show up with some energy. It's time for wholesale changes. With the way college athletics are trending where they are essentially the minor leagues, you need to make it an electric atmosphere. You need to focus on a new fanbase or you'll watch yourself die. End the uppity culture from the AD. Move on from the boomer/harassing culture that Travis Ford left. Make it fun. See you all in another 18 months

And also big shoutout to MMP for sitting on this insider information and allowing the hard working player to have the privilege to announce this first. Thanks as always for breaking information for us

as always thanks to MMP for breaking news for Billiken soccer fans. No idea how good she is as I'm not into high school girls but good news

Thanks for being willing to provide such a quick update/breakdown of the game. You guys really are the best insiders we have

I'll wait for MMP to confirm but sounds like we beat Mizzou

I look forward to the MMP recap

I don't either but I didn't say that.

I think we should use the endowment to buy out Chris May

Alright who's everyone voting for in November?

This is why discord is king

Yeah I totally agree. But not even talking in factual or hypothetical situations. This is a fan message board. Are people expecting fans not to want the very very best? Even Alabama football fans aren't ever satisfied. That's just how being a fan goes.

What's weird is that fans get mad/annoyed when other fans ask for better.

I know this is wrong of me but I honestly wish we had like 5 total sports at SLU. More NIL pumped in and less for the great Chris May to manage. Men's basketball Women's basketball Men's soccer Women's soccer Volleyball

Thanks for the educated recap of the game. I would love to see that consistently as nobody else can really do that.

Just win baby

It'll never happen but the A10 needs to trim the fat rather than add more mid type teams

Per Midtown Madness it appears that SLU will carry a top 10 presesaon ranking

The A10 has too many teams even with UMass leaving

Better for the NET, worse for the selection committee. But teams have gotten away with it before. Need the A10 to be good

Midtown Madness had it first

Our Twitter trolls have introduced me to the beauties of AI video. So as part of a new weekly series, I have asked AI a few questions. YOu may need to view these videos on a laptop or in browser mode First up: How would you describe the Travis Ford era at SLU? Here's how AI responded: invideo-ai-1080 The Rollercoaster Ride of Travis Ford's 2024-08-05 (2) (vimeo.com) Secondly: What are your predictions for year 1 of the Josh Schertz era? invideo-ai-1080 The Josh Schertz Era at Saint Louis Univ 2024-08-05 (vimeo.com) And of course, what does AI think about the billiken baseball field?

Imagine your school baseball team playing in a field so bad that you can't host a conference tournament which is one of very few revenue generating opportunities for the sport and you think thats acceptable and not a failure by the administration

Well now what
