  1. Oh my God I thought this was Jeff Goldblum and was confused why 05 posted it until I saw this hahahahah
  2. This is a really good point...I would hope they'd exempt young kids who can't get the vaccine? I have had to get my toddler tested for covid multiple times for her to go back to daycare after colds and it absolutely sucks.
  3. To clarify, the hashtag was #CaniacAmbassador, which is in line with your first example, suggesting it's likely a paid post. Typically you are not required to post just for free products or food.
  4. The hashtag ambassador indicates he's being paid. Usually a brand will make whatever "influencer" they're paying put a specific hashtag on their post to get around the FTC rule that requires that sponsored content be disclosed online. It is a reasonable assumption on 05's part that this was a NIL deal. But also a reasonable assumption that he wouldn't have any inside knowledge on the deal itself. In general, I think people usually get paid a couple hundred to a couple thousand bucks for a post depending on how many followers they have.
  5. I'm surprised people want Marshall. My in-laws are from Wichita and while they liked his results on the court he was NOT well-liked in the community and most were glad to see him go (according to them). No matter his results I wouldn't want Marshall within 10 feet of any of our guys after him putting his hands on a coach and players at WSU.
  6. Weird not least because I don't think anyone from Liberty would really stick up for any of us. I went to grad school with a girl from an evangelical school and not kidding was told they were "surprised I wasn't satanic" because that's what a lot of hardcore evangelicals are taught about Catholics. not all of them, but many are taught some off the wall things about catholics, especially Jesuits, from a young age at church.
  7. I'm so sorry but I have to respond to this. This is the weirdest take. You really think that: A.) Goodwin was too thick to understand his chances were marginal and he needed to do everything in his power to improve on the margins? B.) If the above is true and he didn't understand his chances were marginal, no one told him? Not Ford, not NBA scouts when he declared for the draft in 2020? Not a google search of "6'3" NBA guard with 64% FT shooting" coming up empty? Someone who has been considered by many to be a close comp for Goodwin is Marcus Smart. Hard working guy, not a tall guy, and not a great shooter at <30% from 3. Even Smart shoots 76% from the stripe. There are 3 NBA PGs with <70% FT shooting, with the lowest at ~67%. All 3 guys below 70% FT are averaging >8 rebounds and >8 assists. Two of those guys are Luka and Westbrook....they are bringing enough to the table that mediocre FT shooting can be overlooked. To state the obvious: as much as I love Goodwin he is not Luka Doncic. I guarantee Goodwin was aware of all of this. These guys eat, sleep, and breathe basketball. They all follow the NBA closely. If it was Goodwin's goal to make an NBA roster you really don't think he would have made it his business to improve his game to get there? I don't understand how you can really think Goodwin was so oblivious as to not understand the above. It's not confusing.
  8. This is such a bizarre argument. There are certainly weaknesses in Goodwin's game but working hard was not even close to being one of them. He is famously an extremely hard worker. He's also not stupid. To suggest that he only just now figured out he needs to work on FT shooting is absurd.
  9. The SLU athletics site posts it. Suggest bookmarking this: 2021-22 Men's Basketball Schedule - Saint Louis University (slubillikens.com) Tonight's on CBSSports.
  10. Maybe try a free trial of YouTube TV? I think they have CBSSports
  11. Hey man, I'm just trying to keep things equitable around here. You know, gender equality. Getting guys on the boards to post thirst traps is maybe my greatest accomplishment. You have no idea how happy this made me. Body they are both 10/10. French has the slight edge in face.
  12. I came to SLU fall of '08, so just barely before my time. Quick google image search, I get it, but still maintain my earlier statement. Warning that the below image is borderline NSFW:
  13. Just want to throw out there that French is easily the most physically attractive Billiken in my memory. Really hard to replace that.
  14. Senior year spring break some friends and I were in Cabo at the bar cheering on SLU beating Memphis at the NCAA tourney. We had everyone at the bar into the game. I like to think we created some new fans...
  15. This was my takeaway. OK, we're not good enough to beat a top 10 team on their home court. Looking forward to the day when I'll be surprised by that. For this year though...None of our other games will be against this level of talent. Do what we're supposed to do for the rest of the games, be glad this was an early test, and we'll be fine.
  16. I thought they were really flirting with getting T'ed up with the hanging-on-the-rim dunks last night. Honestly I'm here for it though. Love to see the guys out there having fun.
  17. This take isn't even that hot IMO. You want a real hot take? YC was already top 10 PG in the country last year. I won't be taking any questions on this topic.
  18. +1000 thanks @dennis_w this one made me very happy for some reason. Edit to clarify: I'm not dennis's daughter. lol
  19. Mods, please don't fix the title of the thread. I laugh every time I see it. Per slubillikens.com, looks like no TV/stream and no radio for this game. Does anyone have additional info?
  20. This is the cutest picture I've ever seen in my life.
  21. did....did carter sleep with your gf or something?
