  1. I hope coach stays. But, I read an earlier post suggesting Larry Brown. He would be my #1 choice. That's if he would do it, he's older I believe. God Bless.
  2. The Billikens have a contract through Nike, right? They wear Nike stuff, so the only way you can get that is if you have a contract. Why can't they design some cool stuff for the SLU Shop at the 'fetz? Hell, aren't they getting all of the NFL teams this year? I think they can handle the Billiken Gift Shop. If not, then get Adidas or Under Armor when the contract is up! IMO. Go Bills!
  3. Whoever it is needs to go.....that might explain the "neon green" Billiken t's. Blow the whole thing up. They'd be better off with blank blue shirts and glitter paint. Make your own t-shirt at the Bills game!
  4. I agree with what you are saying, I'm a Bills fan though. I look at the casual fan base and wonder if it is too expensive for a family of four in St. Louis? This isn't Kansas, where demand is high. I understand prices have to go up, but it just seems like until the place is jammed every night all your going to do is hurt the people who have supported you through thick and thin. 12 years it took to get back into the NCAA. 12 years. If we make it next year, then raise prices, just not this upcoming year. I wonder if we had a year like last year, if tickets would go up? Doubt it.
  5. I talked to a buddy and she said the SLU Shop is ran by students!!! WTH? However, given the state of Billiken apparel this makes sense. Does anyone know this to be true? I don't think Mizzou or Kansas' gear shops are managed by the students. Where are the adults in the building? If this isn't true and someone from the university runs this shop....find that person another job. I would suggest something that doesn't require sales or marketing. Sorry, hope I am wrong and its true students run it. If so, that adult/staff member in charge of the students needs to do something else! God Bless.
  6. If the good father wants to raise prices he will. However, he will kill any momentum this program has going. Gas is $4, utilities are sky high and food prices are rising. I'm older, but ticket prices are on the verge of being too expensive for younger people, especially for younger families. Chris May will pull whatever hair he has left out, if this happens. The father needs to worry about his fountains and statues and keep his collar out of the athletic department. Granted, he has done a great job over the years for the university, but when it comes to sports, especially basketball, he needs to just go to games and cheer. Just when you think things are finally headed in the right direction. If anything, I would drop prices and try and broaden the fan base, then again I guess father likes a half empty building in early December against Portland. God Bless.
  7. Hope they eventually put more money into the baseball program. Great job guys!
  8. Have no information, just wondering if tickets will go up? I think the upper level is already over priced. Just wondering, because after a season like we just had, I'm just preparing myself. I sure hope not. If so, I'll just stay at home and watch them on tv....oh wait, nevermind! Any info would be appreciated, God Bless!
  9. Hey, didn't you guys know that "peach" Billiken t-shirts or "neon green" SLU t's are really hot right now! They can't keep them in stock! The reason no one wants it, is because no one can find it. It is a chicken or the egg question for local stores. However, they control the SLU Shop and it is bad. Even my 86 year old grand pa won't wear half the stuff in there. Go to any of the local St. Louis High Schools and take notes guys/gals. If they can wear Under Armor, Nike or Adidas, then I think you can get Billikens gear like that. Hire the person who runs Lindenwood's gear shop, they are able to get Adidas gear! Maybe they know a secret? Start at the SLU Shop and go from there. The only saving grace is that the place is never open, which helps keep most of the trash in there, and off of the streets. Marketing 101, walk a few blocks west and sit down and take some notes this summer. Sorry to be so harsh, but SLU has one of the best mascots in the NCAA and it is so wasted. Like I said, even my grand pa wouldn't be caught dead in some of the stuff in there. He said, about the jacket I got him for X-Mas "I'm not an old man!" Ha! Go Bills! 2012-2013 Final Four bound!!!
  10. Creighton, Butler, Murray State, VCU an George Mason would be a dream come true. Maybe A10 could go to 2 divisions? Can you guys imagine....SLU, Butler, Xavier, Dayton, Creighton, Murray State?!!! The arena would be packed!!! Also, if we need a couple more teams, I'd vote for Loyola-Chicago (to get a foot in that market) and /or Wichata St. Either way A10 is looking better and better!
  11. No way he goes to IL, he will wait until Indiana opens up again. He's stated that is his dream job.
