One guy wrote that if this was Mizzou they would still be on the team. Lets be clear, if this was ANY school in the country they would still be on the team. I don't understand this holier than thou crap SLU pulls out. Its a bottom tier 1 school on par with most tier 1 schools in the midwest. By the way Willie Reed is your best player and can't replaced. Rick needs to kick some ass and the holy rollers need to be fired over this.
Wow...

RM, Porter and staff did a heck of a job recruiting bigs and ball handlers who could shoot and who may be better than Willie and KM.
It is reality and RM is not naive-this staff can keep a secret and still do their jobs.
The only way Willie and KM can redeem themselves is serve the suspension and come back second semester to win the A-10
RM rules even if the kids can't do it at this level
I agree with your evaluation of Majerus. That is why I think hiim leaving is such a bad thing.
-
If you want to see a different style of program, I'd suggest Kentucky.
As I stated earlier, I was a big Vegas fan growing up.
-
You haven't been around long.....
I guess the bigger point is that SLU put its image in front of its team.
-
Sorry Busted but If Rick's recruits stayed this would be now where near a low point for our program.....
Losing Rick would be as bad as anything I've seen.
-
It wouldn't shock me if we lose Majerus over this.
If Rick leaves, it will be the low point for this program. They are already showing that winning isn't that important by gutting the best SLU team in awhile.
-
As of now, we have nothing either way. Until we hear differently, Player X and Player Y are still on the team preparing for November 2.
-
I don't check this board several times a day everyday just to wait until NOV 2nd to find out.
If they do not get the axe, can we, the members of this board, get a petition together to have Andy Strickland and d#ckbags at KSDK lined up on campus for a public beating from each and every one of us? That, I think, would make me feel a bit better.
If the players aren't disciplined, I think Strickland should be sued for slander.

Tis our luck, ain't it?

You're probably right. I respect your opinion highly. Ok, how about stay classy and start winning big?
As for Bauman....you know what, I'll admit I was wrong. I want to win, but you said something very profound with your quote about Representing SLU. I was looking at wins and losses. In the best interests of all involved, you are probably right. Yes, I will still proudly say I graduated from St. Louis University School of Law in 2004.
Reminds me of the SI poll a few years ago where fans were asked whether they'd be happier if their football coach was Fisher DeBerry (strait-laced Air Force Academy Coach with limited success), or Dennis Erickson (won a ton at Miami with problems all over the place). The vote was nearly split, and that shocked me. I thought that winning cures all ills. Maybe there are some things winning can't cure.
I am extremely interested to see how Roy answers this. Yes, I'm in the B_Roy fan club.
Can I still root for the Billikens either way?
-
Ya think?!
So do we have to give 2 sets of predictions now?
With Full Team: 24-6
Without : 16-14

i will be shocked if slu is ever a "win at all costs" institution. wont ever ever happen. and it shouldnt.

if my choice was win the national championship and be like tark or huggins with their kind of players or go 5 - 25 but have a clean program from every aspect. i would tak the 5 - 25.
i dont think we have to be 5 - 25 to have a very good program. but i wouldnt sell the billiken soul to win either.
I'm a win at all costs guy. So we can agree to disagree there. The Bills are improving, and improving the "right" way. From seeing your stance on other issues, I will take you at your word. I still think that title would be pretty nice though.

Speaking as a SLU grad, your comments are an embarrassment. Pls don't acknowledge, or claim, that anymore. If you actually are a lawyer, you have zero level of comprehension ability. No, you didn't say anything about murder. All you did was say if Joyce doesn't prosecute (and my point was to use a murder example to show just how insane your comment was) then there should be no further action i.e. school discipline AND personal behavior be damned. I would hope you would put the bottle down and realize just how unbelievable your comments are. Man, even the NBA and the NFL have higher standards for their players than you do for a person representing SLU.
Are we more worried about winning games or image here? I don't think the Miami Hurricanes (football) title teams of the 80s were all choirboys either. If they are removed from the school, I am wrong and will admit it. I earned the right to say I graduated from SLU, presumably just as you did.
I did say "personal behavior be damned". Quite simply, I am so tired of taking the moral "high road" and not winning.
-
I think the part where you were going to say something was left off.
-
Ya, real quick. All he had to do was be out of football for 2 yrs and spend a long part of that time in a federal prison.
I hope you are a Mizzou grad,given your position on this issue. Your twisted logic means a murderer who isn't prosecuted because of gross mishandling by the investigating police officers should be allowed to play BB at SLU, while another student can't if he cheated on a series of exams or paid someone to write a paper for him.
That, sir is a well thought out position!
Really, murder? Where did that get mentioned?
I am a SLU Law Grad who wants to see this team better at all costs. Having those players makes the team better, so I want them to remain on the team. That is all my statement meant.
-
wow
wow the day our fans want to be like tark..........
wow
Roy, I respect you quite a bit from the A-10 board, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. I want to see winning teams going to the Tournament every year. If it takes some less than perfect characters, so be it.
In short, I want to see wins, and not particularly worried how they come. For all his misgivings and hatred for the Rule Book, he has more titles than many other teams (ours included).

Thanks bsheldon. I really liked Soderberg and Lisch and Lidell as well. I thought Soderberg was a real stand up guy and a good coach. Unfortunately for him, he wasn't a strong recruiter. I don't like Majerus pompous attitude. I have read this board for years, and I know the dislike for Majerus was strong on here until last year also. If he can elevate SLU I think it will be good for the conference, though Majerus has been outspoken in his disdain for the A10. I guess another reason to dislike him. Good luck on the season. Hopefully the players involved did not do anything and can play, but seems like there was wrong doing if the school judiciary board has ruled against. As we can see from the MSU case, some prosecutors place an extreme on the burden of proof.
I have a slightly different take on this situation. If they aren't convicted, they should be allowed to play. Just like I don't decry Jerry Tarkanian for cheating, I think you put the best team on the floor until the police or NCAA says they can't play. Once Joyce declined to press charges, there should have been no possibility of future action. I want the best basketball players representing my team, personal behavior be damned. Michael Vick sure found a job quick, didn't he?
-
Would that be considered an extra benefit?

been using it for years on different message boards.

I don't buy the looking past SLU argument for a second. If you do, you're downplaying the job one Rick Majerus did in getting his guys ready to play. SLU is on its way to making a mark on this league. This is the next step in the progression...making teams like 8-Dayton guaranteed wins. Once we get there, the sky's the limit. Dayton is a team of good players and one of the worst game coaches on the planet. He cost Dayton half their losses last year. SLU doesn't have that problem. It's Temple/X at the top until somebody knocks them off...so let's be the one to do it.
-
Can you send me a link to that
That is the thread where the debate started.
-
The problem is, none of this is important b/c Duquense beat Xavier twice in 2004. Yes, that's their argument now.
-
So we didn't beat them in their house on their Senior Night? Darn, that game was really fun to watch.
Nope, they say it didn't happen.
wow

That's dirty there. Maybe they thought you'd buy another set when all the really pissed off people try to return them.
