Minor portal update. Reserve catcher Patrick Mendiola has signed with Div 2 Quincy University We still need some major bullpen help and at least 1 starting pitcher. Not sure who they are bringing in from the high school class

Nice interview. Interesting kid. CM makes me cringe sometimes

Interesting. I didn't know he was back in the states. Hertha had their Christmas training in 2019 in Tampa and played a friendly there that I got to see him play. My favorite SLU road game of all time was in 2003 when SLU with Vedad played at Furman, who happened to have a freshman forward named Clint Dempsey. SLU won 1-0 in OT. Crazy that that game would have two freshmen that would go on to become World Cup stars

What an amazing year he had at SLU! HE led the nation with 24 goals in 2001, playing alongside terrific offensive weapons Brad Davis and Jack Jewsbury, both of whom were long time professionals. He did play briefly in MLS and Europe and represented his home country Botswana in international tournaments.

Not a new card but got this authentic shirt for about $10+ ship. Very cool. After leaving SLU he scored the first World Cup goal in Bosnia's history and became a terrific striker in the Bundesliga for several years.

Nice haul today…Pat Clohisy’s first professional card and a cool 8x10 of him with the Braves in Spring Training.

Pat had his first four hit game Monday, he is up to an awesome 46 stolen bases and playing terrific defensive outfield

Were those Zooperstars??

Trying to remember any half time acts we have bought in Red Panda was always great. I saw her at a TCU women's basketball game about 8 years ago and she definitely had lost a step. Cant believe she was still performing. Bud Light Daredevils - the first time I saw them they were amazing. Then it was pretty much the same act year after year so it got kind of stale. When we played Spirit Express, we always got a halftime sermon. That was fun. I remember alot of wheelchair basketball at Kiel

Agree with some of this. One reason why I have maintained my fandom and support long after graduation is the high quality of student athletes SLU has developed. A ton of terrific young men and women who represent the school very well. I dont take for granted how many end up on the commissioners list. However there is no financial reason why SLU can't compete for conference championships in every sport they play in and Chris May has failed us on this in several areas. We are not competitive OR have substandard facilities OR BOTH in Swimming/Diving, Tennis, Field Hockey, Baseball, Softball, and previously successful programs Women's BBall and Volleyball are trending in the wrong direction. There was much to be proud of last year but they have ALOT of work to do.

100% on College of Charleston. Basketball centric school that has had a lot of success Dont sleep on High Point. Booming school and athletic department. Already in the Atlantic 10 in lacrosse.

Hendo stocking up on talented JUCO arms. Drew Welk, very solid RP for Bellevue CC. https://x.com/drewwelk/status/1937311874829402212?s=61&t=Mb7trIAuswIxm6v0K8PRTQ

Nice pickup. Was 2nd team all-region this year. Pitched at a couple of different JUCOs

Whoever designed the cards for the G League this season might be on some mild hallucinogens

That Stu article on Jax Kerr this morning is crazy. He rolled his car trying to avoid a deer last month in rural Oklahoma. Looking at a picture of that car, he could have been severely injured, but his injuries were relatively minor......broken nose, small lung puncture, cuts and bruises. That explains the facemask in practice. Yikes.
