  1. Yes. Unless something has changed, they are individual contractors and get paid a fixed amount. They are responsible for travel arrangements and cost, hotel if needed etc.
  2. I wondered about it at the time but after everything else that happened tonight I forgot about it. I had assumed that we had the arrow until I looked up at the scoreboard a bit later. I've seen guys knock a ball out of bounds on the tip and I've NEVER seen their team denied the arrow. Those refs tonight put on a sh!t show.
  3. The response by the crowd was so loud and immediate that those three aholes HAD to know they effed up.
  4. I even said to the guy behind me that 5000 people saw Oduro travel except those three idiots. Had no idea I was only 200 short.
  5. I'd like to know this too. I'm all ears Bay Area.
  6. Apropos of nothing, my favorite one-off Band song was the theme to Hawaii 5-0 when we played U of Hawaii at Kielviscottradenterprise years ago. Heard them rehearsing before the game and again during the game. Was blown away at good they sounded. Better than the original on TV. And probably learned it in a short time just for that one game. And then we had to go and lose the game. But I remember that song! Let's get the Band back!
  7. I think they've added sub-woofers. It's been too loud for me upstairs for a few years now, but this year I'm hearing enduring deep bass sounds that I've never heard there before. And yeah, I'm old. But also concerned about what's left of my hearing.
  8. Ah, sorry for triggering. Yeah, okay, the Chris May regime.
  9. Only 14 years? What, is there a statute of limitations? My "favorite" though was a past Xmas season when with the SLU students gone home, they let Southwest Missourah fill up the student section.
  10. I think the rebounding stats are a little misleading, particularly the offensive ones. Several occurred due to the same player unable to make a lay-up. As much as I like Martinez, I think that's how she gathered so many last night. In one sequence, she missed the shot, got the board, missed again, got the board and missed again as Loy-Chi finally grabbed the ball and ran the other way.
  11. Yeah, I was sitting on the scorer's table side of the arena. He came up the aisle and tried to recruit just 2 kids from the group behind me. I heard him say I need two. Well, they all wanted to go, so he said, okay, let's all go, it'll be a team thing. (I didn't know what was up but I suspect he was gonna go out on the floor and let one kid have one side, and the other kid the opposite side. Instead he took the group up to the band area. Just a guess on my part.) I bailed as they started the clap. Had enough anyway.
  12. I'm late to this party, but for the reasons already stated by others, you're just wrong on this. (Although, she didn't have a good game last night. Almost no one did though.)
  13. I'm not an alum either, but a long time bb fan. Many years, (maybe most) the band was way more entertaining than the team. Thinking of Taj's "cheap" comment above, I always expect them to do something to screw up a successful endeavor. This band problem doesn't surprise me at all. On top of the team's blah start to the season, this is icing on the cake.
  14. Neither team was anything to write home about tonight. Lost 60-47. Tip of the cap to Julia Martinez, who works her tail off. I just wish she could shoot.
  15. No team introduction from the tunnel or Saints before the tip. After halftime, a team introduction AND an audio recording of Saints. (with the S, A, INT, L, O, UIS etc.)
  16. IT WILL BE BETTER NEXT YEAR Seems the same story, every year.
  17. Yeah, I noticed that too.The actor Richard Harris is probably responsible for the possessive. He sang it "MacArthur's Park" on the hit record way back in 1968.
  18. Yep. Just one of many head-scratchers in that game.
  19. Yeah, that's the part I remember. No one gives a fuok if he roots for his wife's alma mater. But when alma mater tried to poach our point guard, he showed his true colors on HER team's board.
