    Even though you had me on the wrong side of the spread, it is OK. This morning's number actually are showing Bills by 1.  This is a result of yesterday's A10 games where all 3 favored teams(which were also the home teams...Loy, GM and Dav)  lost.  This goes back to my point in the preconference forecast from a couple of weeks ago where I mentioned the operative word for the A10 was parity.   Even when the favored teams in the A10  win they are not beating the spreads.  The result of all this is the computer is tightening up the spreads. 

    What does this mean for The Bills? It means they have a chance to beat any A10 opponent ...especially at home.  The one problem team would be Dayton . 

    Bottom line...This is a winnable game tonight if we don't make mistakes (TOs) and make some shots (the slash)

    St. Joes is going to make it rain from outside the arc. The only way we win is if those shots aren't falling

    Odd we are now at the stage that we are ranking each other based on when we wanted to fire Coach Ford.  I lived in Oklahoma during the time he was coaching OSU.  His m.o. was great recruiter/poor game coach.   That has played out pretty similarly here.   I thought he was a great hire at the time. Unlike his predecessor, he always said he loved the school and talked about how great the job was.  (I know he was overpaid)  Bummer that its probably going to end badly.   

    This is very true. I was skeptical when he was hired. Many talking heads questioned it, particularly Slaten and Charlie Tuna

    Anyone who goes after a Coach's family is a pitiful case, a troll.  Leave his family out of it "Joey the Troll".

    I have been in the same fire Ford group for a long time. So what, that is the way things were, are and will be. I have been watching a LOT of college basketball on TV and honestly do not think we can hope to win against any number of opponents. I think this season we will play until we are eliminated at the conference's tournament, or perhaps before the conference tournament, and that will be it for this season.

    You have Old Guy.  You were one of the few to support me and never act like a tough guy idiot. Always respected you

    Its funny that now this board finally wants Ford's head.  We haven't defended a three point shot since he has been here.  I've wanted him fired for at least 5 years. But I was a "Troll" for saying so.   This year I have  been mostly silent. Honestly, theres been no reason to comment. Its a disaster.  But now we find out that Ford literally has his kid trying to defend his sorry reputation online with fake twitter accounts.  I wonder if little Ford Jr. is lurking on this board.  Maybe he has been leading the charge against me for years...  Who knows how many accounts he has.

    Either way...I was right the entire time and everyone owes me an apology.  Ford cannot coach and he wasted Goodwin and Collins, and now has a team that is Crews level. He has never once won a big game or made adjustments to figure things out at halftime.   The Isabell run was a fluke fueled by a player that almost didn't happen anyway because of what....ANOTHER WIDE OPEN THREE.  I will never forget when that shot went up from the corner I was praying it missed.  It did and we got to the dance only to be neutered by Va Tech.   But yea, Ford can recruit but thats it. And honestly I am not sure if he can even do that. It might be all on Corey Tate.

    Happy New Year.

    I know  I  get  fired  up about  SLU  being  bad.  But St. Joes,  after a  nice  start,  loses at  home to  Texas  A and M Commerce bank.....i mean come  on.  I think  Ford  could even beat a bank.  Thats an all time horrible loss possibly  worse than SIUE.  

    And VCU is struggling to beat crap  teams at home. Bailed out at the end today.  Dayton is damn good but the rest meh.

    I used to think we could be Villanova...we can't even be Dayton

    Look at Dayton...playing in front of a huge crowd instead of in a coffin building for their tournament. Might knock off another power 6 team. Real coach on the sidelines.  Meanwhile we lose to an America East team on national TV.    I guess thats why our crowd doesn't travel like Dayton's does.   Until Ford and May are gone nothing will change. Why can't we have real sports execs and leaders in this town?  Look at MO with the cardinals and his little league manager...the former Rams Brass...SLU. I mean come on.  I guess the blues are competent, maybe.

    The number of wide open threes is just comical.  This is exactly the same program as the last 2-3 years, only worse. 

    Any team that shoots threes and isn’t garbage otherwise will win every time until ford is gone

    and then he won’t play Bruce at all but today in a game he doesn’t belong in he plays him the whole second half….
