  1. Well, that's a bummer. It's sure not easy being a billiken fan.
  2. The problem is.... we will have no money left after we pay Ford's buyout. (AND.... very few people care about college baseball. Just being honest.)
  3. Yuri was well known for crazy head down drives at the end of some games.
  4. Maybe.... if we beat Dayton in the A10 Tournament who was a top 5 team that year with Obi Toppin. Odds of that happening were not likely.
  5. IF Jimerson returns next year, he should be SLU's all time leading scorer.*** However, I believe it is unlikely he returns as I doubt he would return if Ford is not the coach. ***I understand that his 6 seasons do not compare to every other player's 4 seasons of eligibility, but impressive nonetheless.
  6. I did Say Brad AND Sincere.... But whatever... I'm happy to post something we all agree on... We aren't great now. Hopefully our trajectory is up for the remainder of the season and GO SLU!
  7. Argue all you want, but they are second in Kenpom right now. (Their A-10 record may not be great, but their A-10 sample size is low) I agree with you that the results don't match the investment. I don't necessarily think we should keep Ford next year. Now is just an odd time to post this thread as the results of the past 2 games would be considered good in my opinion. Of course we want to win last night's game. but even a good top 25 team cant expect to win every away game vs a top 25 team with a great game day atmosphere. BTW the Dayton atmosphere was awesome last night. I wish we had that level of fan engagement honestly.
  8. I believe with Sincere Parker at full strength playing 30+ minutes, we win last night's game. We almost beat Dayton the #1 A10 team and top 21 team AWAY and we beat St. Joseph's (Arguably the #2 team in the A10) after being down 20 points. This is a different team with Ezewiro, and a healthy Parker (plus a healthy meadows/thames) than the team we all saw when we were wanting Ford fired. I'm willing to give the Coach a few more games before I judge considering the results of the last 2 games.
  9. Done! Thanks for all you do to make this great site possible!
  10. Was 2012-2014 our peak(Not counting 1948)? Will we ever be that good again? It will likely be tough to surpass that era as we are unlikely to ever find another basketball genius as brilliant as Majerus. The changing college basketball landscape will also make it harder to succeed with the widening gap between the power 6 and everyone else along with NIL The decline of the A-10 will also make it hard to find quality wins. I had some hope the first few seasons of Fords tenure as we climbed through the Kenpom ranks and had some impressive recruiting, but then we plateaued for several years and now are in free fall. I hope I'm wrong, but we may never again be as good as we were 2012-2014.
  11. My immediate thought... Situation 3... Glad there isn't another scandal on top of all the other mess...
  12. Careful what you say about Rammer: "We're not gonna have it here"
  13. I know Kalish has recent success, so he gets a break, but Kalish's underperformance this year rivals Ford's last year.
  14. As a SLU and Vanderbilt fan, I feel like I have to defend Vanderbilt and say Vanderbilt is not horrible and can win (although they didn't with Bryce Drew). NCAA appearances: 1965, 1974, 1988, 1989, 1991, 1993, 1997, 2004, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2016, 2017 with sweet 16s in 03-04 and 06-07. I know our aspirations are higher, but Vanderbilt also has NIT success: Champions in '89-90, 2nd place in '93-94, Quarterfinals in '22-23, '21-22, '14-15, '04-05, '97-98
  15. I am not a betting man, but I think I would bet against us in this one.
  16. If you have $76 million, stop complaining and buy him out.
  17. Does anyone know the details of the shake shack promo? Is there a specific shake shack location I have to go to? Is it just a plain burger? Do I just show them the ticket on my phone? I have 48 hours to redeem, right?
