Doesnt matter what bracket we're in. SLU is gonna knock em all down as they come
Well, I do have SLU to the Final 4. I think the Louisville game will be tremendously difficult. The Billikens are capable, no question, but I might have voted with my heart on that. Close enough on paper that emotion may have pushed it over the top.

LaSalle gonna f around and get a sweet 16
I actually have LaSalle going to the Elite 8 and losing to Ohio St. Not because they're necessarily of that quality, but because I thought K-State soft, Ole Miss hot enough to beat Wisconsin, and Gonzaga untested enough to lose to a game Wichita St. team.
Oh, if the Billikens could have been in THAT bracket!
-
And the UNLV-Suge Knight Connection goes together like ghettos and guns.
-
Not sure which is a bigger crime, Oregon being seeded 12 or Benson only being 59? Clearly the Committee have never seen 'Superfly - T.N.T.'.
-
How do may and biondi handle if we do not get in? Fired? how can they can mess this up or how are they messing this up? Creighton should be thanking us for not joining the mvc since we would have been beating the crap out them the last ten years.
Last I checked, there's a little more to being a University President than having a household name basketball program.
And, you'll want to fire your AD following a season in which the flagship sport wins its conference tourney, regular season title, and gets a 3-4 seed in the dance?
Umm....priorities, son.

I don't think you answered the question....Why are you here?
Well, I originally came here to talk Billiken basketball. Again, you might want to go back and look at my original post and the others before that.
Now, you want to answer my question Jimmy the Greek? Me and you, head-to-head. You're not afraid are you?
-
Hmm....
I have a question for spoonie?
Why are you here?
If the answer is anything other than......
To discuss Billiken basketball....
Then you have come to the wrong place.
Oh, holy crap, "The Whiz"!!!!!! Hey "Whiz", I've been meaning to toss a proposition at you: how about you and I go head to head on predicting all the remaining A-10 games, including conference tourney.
When I win, you must henceforth cease calling yourself "The Whiz" and immediately change your screen name to a name of my choosing. Conversely, you must also henceforth refer to me as "daddy".
Sound good? You in?
-
All I can say is that I have many leather bound books. I'm afraid I can't give you any further information.
Also, you should figure who you're responding to. You've now confused me with Brianstl and BillikenFriar. I expected more from a Berkeley grad.
Oh no, this applies to you as well. And your envy ankle is showing, you might want to cover that up, Pizza Boy..

So I guess the other people pointing out the ridiculous of Burwell's column had come to the wrong place as well. After that, it just turned into a chance for a lot of childish, self righteous folks to attack me. Don't believe it, review the thread.
-
You made the comment that the only reason Burwell had a job is because he was a token hire. Burwell has become a lazy writer over the years at the Post, but he was a very acomplished and respected writer when he was hired. In fact, he is still highly thought of around the country. His work output may suck now, but he didn't get the job because of his race. The Post keeps him around because his name still carries cache nationally (undeserved based on his recent work) and not because he is black.
No, I'm afraid he was never "well respected". In certain compliant media circles perhaps, but yes, even that seems to have faded. Appearing on an espn special as a fanboy of a the topic of a documentary does not "national cache" make. Plus, I don't remember any national platform being the golden ticket to respectability.
This is far, far, far from just my opinion. Jesus, even the people he writes for (St. Louis readers) seem to have a very negative opinion of him. Recognizing what's going on doesn't make anyone a racist. What, you think they don't do minority hires in the, of all things, the US newspaper business? Come on, man.
-
There are quite a few racists here. You might enjoy it.
There are racists everywhere. There are also places with populations bigger than Spokane. You're just not in one of them.
Tell us what you do for fun, Okie.
-
What was the question? And I live in St. Louis City. Just for future reference, apparently.
Come on what do you do? You don't work in a restaurant, or something of that ilk right? I'm sure you're quite the big deal, right?
-
WHITE Castle?
How you diggin' OKC? I hear that town goes off?!?!
-
How's Peoria these days? Sounds like you're living it up?
-
Club Applebee's. Duh.
Come on dude, don't duck it. Tell us. Set me straight, prove how much I don't know.
-
Billikens.com, ending "racism" one poster to a sports related website at a time! You guys should do one of those "The More You Know" PSAs?
Awesome.....
-
I had wondered why my life had turned out so poorly. With that settled I can return to my sad life with at least the knowledge of how I got here. Hereby ends the troll feeding.
Maybe tell us at which chain restaurant you wait tables, so you can prove me wrong? LOL
-
Most of my political views fall right of center. Don't see how that changes the fact that you are trying to label people PC in an attempt to defend yourself for making stupid comments. It is pretty sad watching you try to justify yourself by labeling everyone that calls you out on your comments as some kind of leftist.
Hehe....sweet....So, tell us Brian, what "stupid comments", specifically? Justify myself? No, defend myself against the hilarious likes of you.
See, I can actually engage in the issue. You can only attack me. Remember when this was about a poor journalist, with a poorly written story/column to unequivocally prove it?
No, you don't, do you? Thanks for playing.
-
Yeah. Come on! What is racist about calling a black man a token?
What is the over/under on the number of pillow cases in the spoonie household that have eye holes?
Wow, and this is why life more or less probably isn't working out for you. Tell us, what specifically is "racist" about stating that a very,very poor journalist only has his job most likely because he's a "diversity hire"?
-
Still aren't capable, are you?
-
This is clearly racialist.
Come on kid, don't try to lean on YouTube videos to do your responding for you. Man up, and tell us what was "racist".
You seem to be having a hard time?
-
This guy isn't Postie. Postie was a lot of things, but right wing reactionary was not one of them.
Oh, so now it's "right wing reactionary"? Please, tell us how that's the case. Or is it that your politics are left of center?

If you're going to have one speed, at least try to make it humorous.

Well, I guess we now know who we're dealing with in you?
