Listener of the Streets

Listener of the Streets (6/7)

  1. Seems like I read that every year.
  2. I usually let someone else give these kinds of reports cuz I just don't have an eye for who's doing what. And this team has SO many new faces that I don't have a clue who the starters will be. A new player that stands out to me is 6' 6" frosh Alyssa Korkenmeier. Like a skyscraper out on the floor and the body to bang with the bigs. Reminded me of Maddy Gits. Frankly an unusual sight for SLU women's bb. Runs the floor well and small sample size, seems to have a decent midrange jumper. Didn't see her hit anything from way outside and she was blocked on several attempts at layups by shorter defenders. That was a puzzle to me. Tillett has 13 players and employs 2 male practice players to make up 3 groups of 5. They did several scrimmages with the 3 teams rotating. A lot of running, passing and shooting, not a lot of made baskets. I'm looking forward to the season but have no idea how we'll do.
  3. Thanks for the heads-up. I've renewed my women's tickets but gave it some serious thought first. I'll try to go just to see what they're working with.
  4. And he was wearing his seat belt.
  5. Uh, sounds like they need a football team. Should SLU start up football again? Yeah, just joking.
  6. I just renewed today. I don't know if I'll get a call, but I'm happy to hear about the open practice next week. Long way to November but nice to get a glimpse of what we have to look forward to.
  7. I I don't remember the year but the early 1960s when I was in grade school. Someone had given my dad 4 tickets to a game, so he, mom, I and one of my brothers went. It was the second time I'd ever been in Kiel Auditorium. We saw a Hawks game maybe a year earlier. So I've been to one NBA game in my life. Again, I think someone gave Dad the tickets. Sat upstairs for both of those games. As far as the Bill's game, I remember we won but no idea who we played. I had to look up who the coach was. John Benington I'm pretty sure looking at the years of his tenure.
  8. For cripes sake, if some of that was directed at me, I was just joking around. They have a history of little, and maybe a few big errors that shouldn't make it out of the office to the public. I emailed John Margelewski this afternoon and jokingly pointed out the conflicting info. He asked me to forward today's email (he didn't know anything went out today) and later told me that he has directed "Marketing" to not send anything regarding renewals to the interwebs without his looking it over first. Just SLU being SLU as has been said.
  9. The board seems to be running rather slow today. I don't mean participation, I mean pages loading slowly. Not a big deal, just thought I'd mention it. I don't have the fastest internet, but everything else I've perused on the net is loading normally.
  10. SLU gonna SLU. The date is probably the 10th.
  11. I couldn't have said it better.
  12. I'm lost with all this free agency now. How did he get another year? I'm too lazy to do the math, was he owed a Covid year? If no one wants him, I'll welcome him back. Just read Hoosier's explanation. So could we get him back then?
  13. I was gonna say it could be an error, but then I noticed he's also listed as a junior. Still could be errors I guess. Can't find anything about him signing anywhere else. Just found this though: https://www.instagram.com/p/DIhMdgCxd5I/?hl=en
  14. Because she didn't get into ANY games, she should still have 3 years of eligibility left. There is no paperwork to fill out, no appeal to be made, no announcement needs to be made. It's automatic. Why she is now listed as a junior is a mystery to me. Let's face it, the SLU Ath Dept has never been known for being on top of things. So it could be that the roster page on the website is just wrong.
