Happy 6th Anniversary to the hiring of Travis Ford by SLU.

The son of Earl Thomas Sr from what sources tell me.

Prez Scholar season opens back up next Feb. there’s time to apply and get into the system via admissions. LHJ would be an ideal candidate with his impressive accolades.

I’d give it another year before the NCAA descends upon them like locust. Sampson is in a tier between Pearl and Calipari on the infractions scale. He’s got two kids from Findlay Prep Diploma Mill, one from DeMatha and a Monteverde Diploma Mill kid. They could probably go anywhere in the country but they went to an AAC school with no charm? Yeah, something doesn’t add up. Crook.

At least we won’t have a conflict of interest with Nantzy Boy and UH.

And they’re playing in Philly. Only 100 miles door to door. Somebody bus the student body down for the Elite 8 game!!! Brotherly love!

Toss in some beans, too. Huge. Thank you, BVM!

Two coaches and UMass haven’t been in the news this much since the Chaney/Calipari bout.

Former Black Bear star and BC assistant Chris Markwood returning home to Orono as the HC at Maine. Good post for him to lead a solid American East program.

Or like “eat at Pappy’s before SLU becomes your Daddy.“

It’s an analogy. Work with me. Does MOMA work better?

Majerus had basketball players with enough mental basketball IQ to overcome what may be seen by the scouting services as a lack of physicality. Majerus took clay and molded it into works of art. Ford, on the other hand, has been given the Louvre and turned it into a Super Wal Mart of turnovers and head scratching.

Pat Kennedy faxed his resume over.

Re2pect. Thank you, Markhi.

While basketball may be king in Lexington, Mark Stoops has the UK football program heading in the right direction. They aren’t Bama, but they will compete in the SEC East. I have absolutely no idea who wants that job. Maybe Starkville calls Baton Rouge and says to Will Wade “just don’t do what you did there here.” Howland’s Tree doesn’t have great branches. Maybe this is the Tim Floyd phone call? He’s from Mississippi.

Mercer got ‘em as a 14 seed too…

Halftime footage of the SLU-Richmond game should be found and published - whatever Mooney said may have started a revolution. Wow.

No comparison, you are right - but just what those players mean to the team, the risk/reward element isn’t there in the pre-season. Obviously, Perkins goes down in Feb against a conference opponent, I think we all freak out, too. But this was against Rockhurst. What do the coaches talk about before the game? When was the yank coming?

Let’s say our coaching staff takes a page out of the NFL preseason and plays Perkins until the under 16 timeout. Our season ended against Rockhurst. I applaud and appreciate the effort turned in by the squad and the lemons into lemonade, etc., but we lost our general in a battle that should have never happened in the first place.

Your Braves will be just fine, Roy. Trust the process. You have, arguably, the best GM in baseball. Olson is an ATL native, BTW. With the exception of the cannon fodder Marlins, the NL East will be a great division to watch all season long.

Exactly; aside from the nice exposé on Corey Tate, I don’t know what Ray or any of the other assistants do. We all knew what Bronson was doing, we all knew what Jensen or Biancardi was doing. Hell, we even knew what Cameron Dollar was doing. What are Ford’s assistants doing?

Yep. A tale of two teams in two twenty-minute acts; the first, a symphony. The second, pure tragedy.

Add some steak to that sizzle, Roy! Damn! At this point, just bring Mike Anderson back. He’s done his penance.

Let’s just call UNI what it really is: Kurt Warner U. Get yourself up there for a nice weekend at the Hy-Vee.

Chris Lowery is available, too, with solid recruiting ties to the areas that matter to Missouri people.
