Another example of where the program is at. Lose a recruit to a BCS school going on probation with a new coach. If it was Duke or Carolina or Kentucky, I may be able to rationalize it a little more...but this is Tennessee. This team has to start winning, or it will get worse. With the elite talent leaving town and losing out to bad BCS teams for recruits, it really gets frustrating looking at the open spots on the roster.

Channel 5 said there were some injuries from broken glass. Glad to see you weren't one of them.

Since when did we prohibit eye doctors from posting?

BCS Home and Home....nice.

Do any of them know how to employ a zone?

The list of people Roy doesn't want to be our coach grows by 1 today. At least you're consistent about it.

Depends...if they get Luther Campbell involved, money is no object.

That's over a decade ago under Jim O'Brien, right? I would not worry about that at SLU.

Or...Success mitigates the impending problems a little better.

Actually, I'm turning it into "I'm so sick of the moral argument on both sides".

When either program wins a title, then this argument makes more sense. Missouri has had more on-court success than SLU. I love how the "moral" argument comes up.

Took me 4 rounds to get in...

Back to the topic of this thread... What would Painter to mizzou mean? Keep looking Tigers.

Most likely you're probably right. Can we get that kind of buzz everyday? Probably not. That said, I'm the kind of idiot that holds out hope that we could one day get to the level of the big boys in every way.

Do anything at all and you'll be ahead of the game.

That's classic.

As Ozzy once sang ...[this thread is] going off the rails on a crazy train. Good work rerouting.

At that moment, Brendan loved his decision.

So true. They had one local radio station that ran a drive-time sports callin show, and the host did nothing but field questions about UK basketball. The host made Kevin Slaten look like Peter Jennings too, as he might have been the most inept reporter (and I use the term loosely) I've ever heard. His co-host, Mike Cameron, was actually quite enjoyable when he wasn't kissing Chris Cross's rear (yes, that's the guy's name on the radio). The day BG was fired, they ran an all-day Sports Huddle from the UK campus that was really fun.

Depends on if he had any input in them dropping SLU this year coming up....

Thanks for the clarification. I know Mizzou Football was talking about games for 5 and 6 years away, and I was hoping that we didn't have that problem for basketball. Who knows what anyone has that far down the line?

How far in advance does scheduling run? I was wondering how far out we'd have to go to schedule teams.

Yeah, that's kind of the stuff I was going for. Visibility of a program is huge, and SLU needs to do a better job using the media outlets they have.

I don't think Makovsky do anything where I didn't want to slap him. Very arrogant.

I don't want to take shots at anyone on this board, since we've got some good fans here. That said, I lived in Lexington for a year or so, and I absolutely loved the atmosphere down there for basketball and hope we can get that here. They lived and died with every game, and ran a coach out on a rail for making the NIT. I know a lot of people think UK fans are nuts (and they are), but I think that's the kind of atmosphere that would be good here. Every time UK played, the radio shows (one in particular) would light up for hours on end about everything UK. SLU has the market, it's time to put it to use. As many know, I have been a fan of some questionable programs, and I really shouldn't advocate some of the things I've talked about in the past. But I would love to see SLU have the same presence in their city that Kentucky had in theirs. It was an awesome place for basketball, and I'm hoping one day we can say the same about our Billikens.
