[RM on Costas Tonight]

Did he already go on?

[I dont get why we havent marketed our basketball team more in terms of apparel]

Hey look a dead horse, let's beat it.

If you don't get a response this week it's because they are slammed with the NCAA Regional.

You are awesome '05.

GO BILLS! Can't wait for tomorrow!

[Dwayne Evans article]

Hahaha. What would ya know, I think I just found it. This one is from May 2011. Let me know if you need anything else...

[Dwayne Evans article]

pistol, our program has always been loaded with good student athletes. a few years ago we had a thread here that went back and counted the players that had not graduated since spoon took over and it was literally like less than 10 players. and we have also had a couple of top students on the list as well just like we have now. slu has always been sensitive to the academic needs of our players and provided the assistance to get the job done if they wanted to graduate and excel academically.

TVACH13, just a question, i was trying to locate on the slubillikens.com website (man that thing is a disaster. who made the decision to set that up. i cant find much of anything this morning and god forbid you are trying to access with a smart phone.) the article that lists all the slu student athlete academic achievers by semester and by sport and couldnt find it. could you provide that link? thanks in advance.

Not sure if this is the one you were looking for Roy...

I will ask around the office if anyone remembers seeing an article like that. I don't recall seeing one publish on our site, but I will be sure to ask around.

[Shimmy out as womens coach]

I will expose him soon enough.

[Shimmy out as womens coach]

My point is Mcginty and Miller were BAD hires Chris May is terrible and treats staff horribly..If Doug Mac left SLU something is wrong.

Hahaha. I disagree. I'll leave it at that.

[2012 CBE Field to be announced today]

Baby steps my friends... Baby steps. CBE > 76 Classic. No questions asked. I can't believe everyone is disappointed in possibly playing KU. One of the most historic programs in the country, only 4 hours from Chaifetz. Rough crowd....

[2012 CBE Field to be announced today]

I think it is a great field. We will play Texas A&M first. Hopefully meet KU in the finals. Great for RPI.

[SLU slated to play Fri., 3/9, @ 5:30 p.m. Central time (eom)]

[Coach Majerus not coaching today — he's ill]

Details forthcoming.

Andy Katz ‏ @ESPNAndyKatz

From SLU: Majerus taken to hospital in Pitt for precautionary reasons. Took wrong medication after swim. Will travel back to SLU postgame.

[Billiken Blizzard Recap]

and that is why it should be pre-game. everything that was done post game would have been just as well done pre-game as post game. and there is no reason to rush anything. if the game starts late so beit. tell the a-10 to deal with it. my gosh it's our arena our home game. our seniors. they deserve maximum attention.

i do hope everyone was chastizing any idiot around them that left early the other night.

You can't start the game late when you are on TV. They have a schedule too.

[tourney site]

^{I don't know who this Kunderman is or if and how he's connected but other than pure speculation what advance knowledge does he have?}

HAHAHAHA. This made me laugh.

[Billiken Blizzard Recap]

For those people that were out of town and did not see the events last night, or want to relive the moment...

There is already a great amount of video and photos (including the senior ceremony) available on http://www.slubillikens.com/

ALSO! If you took any photos or videos last night, please tag Billiken Athletics on Facebook or add them on our wall. Thanks guys! What a great night!

TVACH13

[Are you ready for the Blizzard!?]

Sorry, also. Here is a time lapse of all of our hard work last night.

[Are you ready for the Blizzard!?]

Glad to see you guys are enjoying the hard work that we have put in the last 24 hours. I hope it is a great game with an even better outcome for the Bills. It has been alot of fun planning for this event and seeing it come to life. Alot of credit is due to our fantastic management in the AD. GO BILLS!

[start now, wait until next week (short) or after it happens...]

No need to be a condescending prick, I appreciate TVACH13 being on here and soliciting ideas.

Thank you. The decision to have the ceremony after the game is NOT an athletic department decision. It is a coaching decision. And we should respect their decision.

The players get emotional and don't think about basketball when the ceremony is before the game. Just ask Dayton. We kick their ass every Senior Night, they have their ceremony before the game. Just a theory.

Bottom line, stay after the game, we have some great videos and gifts for the guys. Check around the concourse for free posters of the guys, they look really nice. AND....Check out the pictures of the t-shirts in the arena on our Facebook. We got the second level done tonight, it looks awesome! Can't wait to do the lower bowl tomorrow!

[start now, wait until next week (short) or after it happens...]

What if Conklin and Cassity are both injured during the game?

What if X just blows us out of the water and people start heading towards the exits after the under 8 media timeout?

What if Chris May has the fish at Lorenzini's and gets deathly ill!?

Surely, you can't be serious...

Again, this just goes to show you how inept our Athletic "Marketing" Dept. is.

So you are suggesting we begin before the game, when everyone will be in the pavilion at the pep rally?

[start now, wait until next week (short) or after it happens...]

-to complain about various aspects of Senior Night?

-i am concerned with x being a tuesday game we may not have enough time to 'groundhog day' this, albeit from two years ago

Cowboy,

What would you like to see?

What would make it sufficient "Senior Night" in your opinion?

Just curious. Thank you.

[Xavier Student Tickets]

Billiken Athletics Facebook page just posted a status update saying "there are very limited amount of tickets left."

TVach did you have something to do with that? Haha

Whoever does the Facebook must follow this board very closely. Hahaha

[Xavier Student Tickets]

This just in.... Student tickets will still be available tomorrow. Only a few left.

[Xavier Student Tickets]

Just got confirmation from a senior who interns in my office

Not sure how true this is. Might want to hold up a little bit.

[Xavier Student Tickets]

But what about Tuesday night chapter meetings?

They have been cancelled. A few greek organizations have even made the game mandatory. I have been here all day and there has been a line of at least 10 students every time.

Going to be a great game.
