  1. Why would I ever be upset with a win? I thought we had no chance but Perkins saved us. I really hope he is back. You must have a screw loose.
  2. Man he sure looked the part! West Virginia hills boy
  3. It’s funny that VCU won because of the big white greaseball guy off the bench going 6-8 on threes. I think he’s the first white player I’ve seen them have ever. He looks like he’s right off the farm. Better guard him
  4. It was one of his best stretches of play all year. With Travis in the locker room...
  5. Wow very mature of you. Didn't know we were back in 3rd grade
  6. You can’t deny the team looked better with ford off the sidelines. And yea hat tip to jimmer and tj for making the shots
  7. Yuri showed us tonight that without Ford hollering at him he can run some amazing offense. Good call by Tate to let him go. I vote he runs the team for the rest of the year. Also nice Okoro resurrection
  8. Why bother showing up after a win. We should have won every game this year except Maryland. Every other game lost was a Ford mess. Maybe if we won consistently it would worth celebrating
  9. Ford can recruit. And he’s a nice guy. But he has no ability to coach a basketball team
  10. It’s amazing you all are figuring out what I knew 5 years ago. Ford can’t coach. Never could. Just look at his resume. And we haven’t guarded 3 point shots since he’s been here. Even the one tourney bid he got. Bonnie’s had a wide open 3 to win. Thankfully it missed
  11. I was saying it 2-3 years ago with you. But I was a TROLL for it. This man can't coach. Couldn't at Ok State, can't here. He recruits and rolls a ball out there. Worst loss at home I have ever been in attendance for.
  12. I remember when the on campus arena was built. The donors lined. The hall of fame coach was hired. Finally, SLU was taking basketball seriously. And like my Dad said back then, we are going to be the Gonzaga of the midwest. At that time Gonzaga wasn't quite as insane as they are now. But they danced yearly and won games. And they were an urban Jesuit non D1 Football school. The idea wasn't that far fetched. Then 3 things destroyed that dream. 1. Situation One 2. Porter Moser Leaving One Year Too Early 3. Rick Dying The Next Year. I firmly believe that if all 3 of these things didn't occur, we would have a perennial march madness program right now. Probably even with situation 1, if Moser stays and takes over for Rick we become what Loyola did, but much faster. But in reality all 3 things happened. Then we go on "Crews Control" for 2 years, with great regular seasons but can't get over the hump in March because no actual coaching was occurring. After that disaster Ford comes in as a savior. We see better recruits than the Bills have ever seen, but they can't play together or ever win the big one outside of a miracle run in 2019 that was primarily about Trumaine Isabell going nuts. So here we are in 2022-2023. Preseason Top 25 talk....and...yea. Again, I KNOW PERKINS is hurt. We all anticipated he was going to be back. He's not. But even without him this team should be miles better. Majerus would have this team either undefeated right now or maybe only carrying the Maryland loss. Ford...has no clue.
  13. Ford should have been fired at the scorers table after this game...
  14. Ok, sure, Perkins isn't what we hoped for. But when Yuri came back, this was the year for Sweet 16 or bust. Now it feels like the NIT will be an accomplishment. The regression of Okoro and the lack of any game planning whatsoever is all on coaching. And Ford had no plan to counteract Pitino. keying on Yuri. This guy had NBA talent at OK State and won nothing. He can recruit but thats it. Call me a troll if you want but this was the most disgusting loss I've ever witnessed considering the circumstances and the face it wasn't even competitive. And then Ford gets a technical because he has no idea what else to do. This team is poorly coached, ill prepared, and going nowhere without some major changes in philosophy. A CYC coach could prepare a team better than Ford can.
  15. Ford doesn’t coach he only recruits
  16. Another “Travis Ford” special. Does he actually coach? This second half will define the season
  17. This team is going nowhere until they guard the 3. Every coach sees it
  18. If we lose once again it will be because we don’t guard the 3. Pray for a miss every time. Does Ford teach this?
  19. This is another Travis special. We don’t practice defense. Rick would have had this roster in the final 4
  20. Didn't guard the 3 either. They just missed them. This was a problem all year last year. If we guard the 3 and rebound we should win the A10.
