  1. I hope ISU loses their first game and we just put this to rest
  2. People keep saying this but it was like 3 people doing that
  3. Yeah I'd say let's just do that and get it done.
  4. I want the new coach to be a Cubs fan. I want the new coach dislike Imo's. I want the new coach to think toasted ravioli is the weirdest thing on earth. I want the new coach to prefer Olive Garden over the Hill. I want the new coach to have nothing to do with St Louis. There is no Duquesne fan out there talking up Ahearn's credentials and saying he'd be a good fit there when Dambrot retires. Anyone who wants Ahearn to be SLU's coach thinks that because he's local and then any qualifications are just stretches to justify that want. Give me Schertz. Maybe he ends up being a total flop. Maybe he ends up taking the best of his ISU roster and combines it with a strong NIL program and makes the Sweet 16 in year one. You can never predict it. But if Blake Ahearn was from Kansas City and went to Missouri St, nobody would consider him a candidate. Guys like Frank and the Ahearn family don't care about SLU. They care about Blake. And that is perfectly fine. NBA coaches who may or may not have vouched for Blake don't know anything about SLU's program or likely even the A10. They also care about Blake and only Blake. And again that is perfectly fine. But it's amazing that people can't see through that facade. ISU fans are in meltdown mode about Schertz and their roster leaving. National college basketball experts have hyped Schertz all year. Those people are raving about the potential match for Schertz and SLU.
  5. When is Popovich, Donovan, etc going to call SIUC, Missouri St, etc about Ahearn? Hell based on that maybe he should call Louisville, Michigan, Stanford, etc
  6. Yes but did the pope call Chaifetz about Ahearn?
  7. Give us Avila and Swope combined with 1-2 guys here and 2-3 portalers and you have a team that can win the A10 in a year. I don't actually know how realistic it is to land Swope and Avila in an open market but I do think this can turn around pretty quickly
  8. Ahearn could be good. Let him start somewhere else first. I'll take my chances with Schertz
  9. 1 year from today we'll be discussing our first round NCAA match-up
  10. See I heard he and Frank are using SLU to get more money from Louisville but that Pestello flew out to Memphis last night to give him one final sales pitch
  11. Chris Mack spotted at the lambert burger king grabbing a whopper meal!
  12. Ahearn and Frank watching from the chemistry lab at desmet!
  13. Rumor has it Schertz, Avila, and Swope are watching the selection show from the champions center with May
  14. I'm loving this blue/green sun/sky today! We will have a new coach soon!
  15. ***INSIDER ONLY POST if you can read this I have added you to my super secret insider approved poster list. This information is a compilation of my group text, insider AD relationships, people who I fly with, etc*** I am hearing SLU has identified candidates they are interested in and EVEN started contacting them. Some are super realistic some are stretches. Candidates think our job is good and growing but not better than Fairfield. Some boosters like some candidates BUT other boosters like other candidates. This presents challenges yet I think it's manageable with our athletic director who some people don't like but others do! One person I fly with to away games said Ahearn currently coaches the Grizzlies! It will be interesting to follow. My sources indicated we will hire a coach by May 1st!
  16. It's just him trying to distract from the topic at hand
  17. Sometimes I even fly to games with people from my group text
  18. Yeah man are you expecting me to play dinosaurs with my kids all day?
  19. We have a private board anyway. But I have to own Chris when he takes my clear and obvious bait
