    Anyway you can purchase through SLU so we are sitting in the proper section with SLU fans? Everytime we have reached out to SLU in the past when getting tickets to events they are clueless. 

    5 of us going to be in section 201. Guess our bench is in front of 101? You weren't kidding about them going quickly. 

    SLU does get tickets to road games, but not many.  It also depends on the team they are playing and what that team's policies are.  Since the tickets are limited, they have to hold onto them to make sure players' and coaches' families are taken care of first.  After that, I would assume big donors comes next, but I understand that.

    Thanks for this feedback!

    For the sections, do you prefer the white on the grey? Or do you recommend the sections themselves also have a grey background?

    I like that they are set off.  I would consider either doing those in the color you current have for the background and then making the background even lighter, or vice versa.

  3. The tickets to the road game at Loyola Chicago on February 14 went on sale today at 10:00 a.m.  They might go quickly.  Let's scoop up those tickets before Rambler fans do.  Just as warning, they are restricting online purchases to 8 tickets.  I had to create two different accounts to purchase the 14 tickets I needed for my group.

    If we stumble against the 2 D2 schools and the exhibition games then we deserve to not recover in the eyes of the committee with or without Robbie.

    I agree with you, but I'm also referring to most of our non-conference games.  We cannot afford to lose any more than one or two.

    If he is fully recovered, he should play. I don't think playing  it safe is a winning  strategy.  With the Schertz offense, it is super important  that each player makes the right read and takes the right action. It's especially  important  that the guy with the ball knows what each player is going to do next.  This being year one with so many new players to the system, every minute of playing time is important  to the success if the team moving forward.

    Your point is especially true when considering our poor schedule.  We cannot afford a stumble early to one of these no name teams, or we will never recover in the eyes of the Committee.  We need to be firing on all cylinders and playing with some chemistry by day one of the season.

    At one time SLU had one of the, if not the most prominent name,  in the aerospace industry in Parks College. Then the academics dropped the name for no apparent reason hamstringing any new grad looking for work in the industry. A self-inflicted wound with no upside.

    The Oliver Parks Department of Aviation Science is still a part of the School of Science and Engineering.  However, Park College was always, and the current department still is, an aviation school.  It would not make sense to name our entire engineering school after an aviation college we absorbed.  If anything, they should name our engineering school after McDonnell Douglas which is truly still a "prominent name" in the aerospace industry.  Right now, the Oliver Parks Department of Aviation is located in McDonnell Douglas Hall on campus.

  7. I actually think it does deserve its own thread.  I could not be happier for Dre.  We're going to miss him, if it truly means he isn't doing Billiken games anymore, but what an opportunity for him.

    Zac and Pete, if you haven't interviewed him for the podcast already, or even if you have, this might be a great time to have him on.

    I love that we have a coach that knows exactly what he wants and who fits his system rather than just aimlessly recruiting guys purely on athleticism or ranking services.  This allows him to get guys who may be great in his program even if they may be overlooked by others.

  9. I have actually had to research this condition once as part of my job.  When you work out, your muscle tissue breaks down and has to be absorbed into your blood stream and then disposed of by your body.  Then you take in nutrients which heal that muscle tissue and the result is that the muscles become stronger.  However, you can work out to such and extreme that the materials that break down from your muscles that go into your blood stream cannot be disposed of fast enough and essentially overload your organs.

    Sorry if this was already posted, and not exactly sure how reputable “Blue Ribbon” is, but pretty cool recognition for Robbie to be recognized as a preseason third team all American. 

    Lot of St. Louis on that list.  Of the twenty kids mentioned we have one Billiken and two kids from St. Louis.

    Dang! I feel like we need to get you all Billiken blue blazers to honor your support as fans! Some OGs no doubt, impressive!

    I actually really like this idea.  If you have had season tickets for more than 30 years, not counting student ticket years, then you should get a Billiken Blue jacket.  If you wear that jacket to the game, you should get access to Lorenzini's regardless of your season ticket level.  Also, once a year at half time, they bring out all of the Blue Jacket alumni at half time to honor them.  This should replace the autographed basketballs they give out at seemingly random times.
