Everything posted by Slu let the dogs out?

  1. I learned all about AMA about 17 years ago when my dad would leave the hospital AMA because he told them he had work to do and then me and my siblings would have to convince him to return to the hospital. "Yes, I realize i've got congestive heart failure but I've got a 10am meeting that I cannot miss." Perhaps this "truther" was just alerting us to the fact that they would be escaping from Shady Acres Mental Facility AMA at 3pm?
  2. Thank you! I knew there was one more name in there but couldn’t figure it out. Guess I could’ve just googled it…. If anyone wants to meet me at Crestwood Mall’s Exhilarama after the next game at Scottrade DM me.
  3. I do actually still call it Savvis and Kiel because I can never remember that it’s called Enterprise now.
  4. I know, it was in response to Torch calling it Kiel.
  5. I also wouldn't be opposed to an MTE up in Chicago with 2 of the following 3: Illinois, Northwestern, and DePaul. Although it sounds like any newly-formed MTE for SLU would be played locally. A "Home and Home" against DePaul with games at Enterprise and UC would be cool but Wintrust Arena looks pretty sweet.
  6. Dang, that's right. Here's a list of P5 teams currently not in MTEs that I just put together on my own. We were supposed to play Cinci in the St. Augustine Classic and I believe a few people on here mentioned a desire for those schools to still play this season so my guess as of now is Cinci. Does the Torch consider Cinci to be a "very big time program" though? Probably not: ACC: Boston College, California, Georgia Tech Big 12: Cincinnati, Utah Big East: Butler, DePaul Big Ten: Illinois, Northwestern, Ohio State, UCLA SEC: Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi State, Missouri An LA roadtrip during the 2025-26 season to play Loyola Marymount and UCLA (return game after MTE game at Savvis) would be suh weet: Wednesday night at LMU, Saturday at Pauley Pavilion.
  7. That would be awesome. Ann Arbor is one of my favorite college towns.
  8. Hit us with some hints! Forgive my ignorance but I guess those games at Savvis Center wouldn't technically count as home games? I think we have 7 non-con games announced thus far with just 3 of them being home games. 6 more games to schedule, with all 6 of those needing to be home games? That can't be right... EDIT: Sorry, Pistol, just saw your post. Forgot exhibition games are included in the home game count so a 2 game MTE on a neutral site (Kiel Auditorium) would work.
  9. You haven't addressed the most important aspect of War Memorial: do they sell booze??!! Being a fellow Jesuit institution, I would assume the alcohol flows like the salmon of Capistrano but you never know...
  10. Not sure why I'm shocked that USF is in the heart of the city considering SF proper is only 47 sq miles but I still wasn't expecting it. Great road game! Slumber party at BAB's house!
  11. Anyone recently renew or purchase in either 108 or 110? Curious what those will go for this season. Looks like $520/ticket with no contribution required for the 2023-24 season.
  12. Yeah $140 is a lot for a shirt but try one of those bad boys on and you'll be begging for someone to take your money. I'm generally not a fan of short sleeve button-up shirts but I have one, Peter Millar, and every time I throw it on it feels as though I'm getting fanned by 100 fan-wielding bunnies an hour after taking a 5mg edible.
  13. Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere but new Peter Millar gear has me giddy. Hope you're sitting down for this @Box and Won
  14. Not old enough to remember Bill the player but I became a huge fan of Pac hoops because of Bill the broadcaster. Such great positive energy and enthusiasm. William Theodore (which is the same name as my grandfather and now my son) was truly one of a kind! Played a little Grateful Dead and Beach Boys while grilling yesterday in his honor. Not a fan of anyone that feels the need to go out of their way to trash a person less than a day after dying. I find those people to rank among the most annoying, rivalling Ross Gellar and The Dell Computer Guy.
  15. Just installed a new bracket on my front porch that holds 2 flags. Need a sexy new Bills flag to insert. Please advise...
  16. Count me as one of the many that I expect still intend to purchase season tix but just haven't gotten around to it yet.
  17. 6'3 guard with a 7 foot wingspan who plays defense. Started for a BXII team and averaged 26 MPG. Gets to the rim. Seems like the perfect complement to Jimerson and Swope and a player who could fit into the system.
  18. Every person he calls is a butt dial
  19. Thanks, @The Wiz. Apologies, I missed your Hunter grades from a few days ago. Had a feeling they wouldn’t be great. As for Traore, when I first looked at his numbers he seemed like the kind of player that would be a great complimentary piece in our starting lineup because of his defense and rebounding (as you mention above), with a focus on baskets close to the rim in the cut-heavy Schertz offense. The hope being he’s still young and the staff/the system could help improve his 3P%. He reminded me a little of Goodwin. But alas, I don’t see him joining team 314.
  20. After seeing Brian's post I'm curious what the computer thinks of Camren Hunter. Another player I'd love to see run through Wiz's computer is Seydou Traore. Let me preface this by saying I don't think he's coming to SLU. I believe I read somewhere that SLU had interest but not sure it's mutual. 3P shooting is rough but would hope that improves under a Schertz system (just a freshman). I really like this kid: 6'7 guard who averaged 12 points 8 rebounds 2 assists 2 steals and 1 block per a game as a freshman for Manhattan.
