  1. lol thanks for the early morning chuckle! I can just imagine a house full of repurposed pallets and the “live laugh love” signs made out of chicken wire and Amway products strewn about the May household, a real proving ground for the multi-level marketing schemes.
  2. Just like coaches at the state schools. I believe Kirk Ferentz is the highest paid state employee in Iowa. And it’s not even close.
  3. A move to lure the WCWS out of OKC and down the road to Norman, perhaps? I mean, if Creighton can play all their baseball home games at the site of the CWS, I guess Boomer Softball Sooner should be able to.
  4. +1000. And with his past experience with the Pro Bull Riders tour, he could lasso up and corral the absolute shi+show of a rodeo Chris May left behind. I second the Kosha overture. Come home, Kosha!
  5. A couple of my Charlotte-based colleagues and I have made an annual golf run in mid-April up to Boone, NC. We play Olde Beau up in Roaring Gap, NC on Friday and Boone Golf Club on Saturday. Last April, our trip coincided with an App State home slate against ODU, and let me tell you - this is a ball field. Absolutely amazing setting for baseball. Fire pits and Adirondack chairs down the foul lines, pretty cheap ticket prices and a ridiculous lineup of craft beers on hand. It’s a huge student event - they come out to support the Mountaineers and even Yosef, the mascot, shows up. This is good collegiate baseball from a facilities and environment standpoint. Boone is also a diamond in the rough town foodie-wise, too. The Dan’l Boone for brunch is a can’t-miss!
  6. This. It has to be a scorched earth policy. It’s a liquidation. Everything must go.
  7. Mike Bray is a turtleneck shopping trip at Dillard’s away from being a candidate, too.
  8. Are we in any position to have that conversation as it stands on this, the third of February anno domini two thousand and twenty four? All this talk of Big East, I’d take a .500 team first.
  9. Is there anyone in that space who has any ties to SLU at all? Not that it matters, but it might be nice to find someone who cares about the University as a whole; its past, present and future.
  10. Like an inmate calling the Governor at 11:59 pm, it’s too late for clemency, son.
  11. I don’t even know who we would want to replace Chris May at this point. everyone has their opinions on who to replace Ford with. Who the hell are we gonna replace Chris May with?
  12. I keep thinking this thread has such a Christopher Nolan ring to it…like our future selves going back in time trying not to allow the Ford hire to happen.
  13. Hate to burst your bubble, but the old Postmaster General licked his last stamp on August 1, 2020. But he’s really not dead if we find a way to remember him. He was also terrific in “The Firm,” which is one of Grisham’s finest screen adaptations.
  14. Someone mentioned he fouls just to get a breather. That was Exhibit A. also, what did Parker do to not be playing right now?
  15. There’s also the Lincoln Service up to Chicago Union Station. Amtrak is a budget-friendly alternative.
  16. The 1540 / 1870 on the scoreboard is also a nice nod to the year Ignatius founded the order and when the University was founded. SLU was 52 years old. AMDG.
  17. Ford at practice, courtesy of Knight-Ridder news services:
  18. Sorry, I meant to say “program” not “team.” Our program is archaic. We do less with more. And to your point, Chicago State is doing more with almost nothing.
  19. I miss winning like the deserts miss the rain
  20. Bingo. It’s almost as if this group just started playing basketball and Ford just types in “what’s a good basketball offense?” on his search engine, which is probably Yahoo. We are the most archaic team in any level of intercollegiate basketball, Chicago State included.
  21. Good opportunity to give that mute button a workout.
  22. TH’s energy high for this one. Like to see him be the bell cow for this squad tonight. He’s my pick to click, Wimpy.
  23. He dialed it up from long distance! -Gus Phillips
