OkieBilliken

That is a bummer! It’s been 20+ years since I’ve seen a SLU FH match. . Guess it’s going to be awhile longer

Finally the McGwire official announcement, plus a couple of new transfers from lower division. https://x.com/SLUBaseball/status/1832064266884534603

Great way to start the weekend, a 3-0 sweep of Army

Correct me if I am wrong but wasn't Bob Ramsey's wife Jen also a VB/BB 2-sport athlete? I definitely remember her playing VB...

I love how the broadcaster mentions he is a Billiken…

Holy cow! Clohisy promoted to High A Rome so he can play in the South Atlantic League Playoffs in a week. That is a pretty amazing accomplishment for a recent draft pick. Watching him at the plate last night, he was totally dialed in got a base hit and hit two lasers right at outfielders.

I bet Mike Sorber played with McBride a few years earlier as well.

Well this is cool. I was torn whether to stay home and watch the SLU -Penn State game or take a little roadie to see Patrick Clohisy in his final home game of the season for the Augusta Green Jackets. I headed north. I made the right call. Pat has quickly become the best hitter on this Braves affiliate. The kids were clamoring for his autograph more than any other player. Got to say hi and had a very nice conversation with his parents as well.

After getting swept yesterday morning by Ole Miss, SLU rebounded with a 3-1 win over SEMO. They play host Arkansas State this afternoon. Would be nice to take out the host team this afternoon, however ASU beat Ole Miss yesterday so it will be a tough one.

I really liked how deep LS went to the bench last night. We got a lead and were able to hold it giving alot of newcomers big minutes. This is going to be important because arguably the biggest game of the year is Sunday, so they should be pretty well rested. Some Billiken opponents are having mixed results. BYU lost for the first time this week to a very good UCLA team. Missouri last night came down to south Florida and lost to a terrible Miami team. UMKC has won 3 in a row (all shutouts) against lesser competition. Xavier is 5-0, including a 3-0 beat down of Dayton on the road.

For conference affiliation, basketball is the only thing that matters. Des Moines, Carbondale, Terre Haute, Cedar Falls, Normal......trash, trash & more trash. I'll take Philly, Dayton, DC, Richmond, Chicago everyday.

The Valley is trash.

I attended the first year of the tournament in 2021, with a field that included Mizzou, FSU and SMU and it didn't draw very well I cant imagine why this field would be very enticing. I may go check out Rhodey. Pretty sure I will be able to get a good seat.

UCF Men's soccer also in the Sun Belt now.
