Everything posted by Slu let the dogs out?

  1. Chaifetz Arena for anyone within a 100 mile radius.
  2. Yeah, I'm not 100% confident in that bet but I have a good feeling about Thatch, especially if he can grow another inch or two.
  3. I agree. I see big things for Thatch. In fact, I bet my brother (a Mizzou guy) that Thatch would end up being a better player than Torrence Watson.
  4. I heard my Cadets are going to be stacked over the next few years. Don't they have two talented big men that are Freshman?
  5. Anyone know if there's a shuttle from Section 103 to Section 114 in case I want to say hi to my friend?
  6. I can throw a football half of a mile
  7. Are a majority of the 71 year-olds going to bars before the SLU games? Honest question. I assumed they just parked as close to the arena as possible, went inside, enjoyed a beverage in their seat, and that the majority of people frequenting FH and other bars close by were those that could walk the 8 minutes. I guess I'll find out Friday night! Golf carts from FH to Chaifetz for people like your dad makes a lot of sense though, I agree.
  8. Don't get me wrong, I'd probably use it if they had it. I just think it's kind of funny that people need/demand a shuttle when they can just walk there in 8 minutes.
  9. Wait, are people serious about a shuttle from Field House? Oh my!
  10. Par for the course with Mizzou fans. I had a few Mizzou fans tell me their "sources" were saying Gordon was switching to Mizzou. "EVERYONE knew about it", according to them. Heard this for several weeks. I texted a few of them today after Gordon signed and the story is now that their "sources" are telling them it's just because Gordon got tons of cash from SLU and that "EVERYONE knew about it". The best part is their answer when you ask them whether or not Mizzou players get paid to commit to Mizzou
  11. my favorite part in all of this were all of the delusional Mizzou fans who claimed Gordon was going to switch to Mizzou but when it became apparent he was not, the narrative shifted to Gordon accepting a LOT of money from SLU. Bless their hearts!
  12. Boom! Exciting day my friends. Friday can't come soon enough....
  13. SEVERAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Point being, anyone over the age of 22 wearing a basketball jersey of any kind should be taken out back and shot. Think there's a bigger market for the jersey shorts.
  14. Is it possible to just order the shorts for his store? You would think those would sell. I'd buy several pairs shorts.
  15. It may be rare but it is still possible.
  16. Isn't an 8 point loss technically a 2 possession loss?
  17. Agreed. Although if he inked a similar deal to Freese, he should be getting about $10-15k in Imo's gift certificates. Which should be just enough for one extra large pizza.
  18. Nice, thanks for the head's up on gear at the bookstore (ha, I said library)!! 100% agree with your post just above as well. Would love to get my hands on one of those dank replica soccer jerseys.
  19. Yeah what's up with that? Can you buy anything at the Chaifetz or library stores other than a license plate holder and key chain?
  20. 10-3 in non-con (one hiccup to go with losses to VA Tech and Butler) 11-7 in conference (starts off slow but by A-10 tourney time the team is a well-oiled machine) 4-0 in A-10 tourney SLU in as 10 seed, loses first game Final record: 25-11 Real winners will be the SLU fans who get to witness a basketball being dunked by a SLU basketball player for the first time in years!
  21. My uncle had a job interview out in the Bay Area a few years back. The CEO of the successful company for which he was interviewing picked him up in the biggest POS car ever. It was then he realized even with a healthy 6 figure salary out there, his disposable income would take a significant hit. Friends of mine just bought a small house in East Bay (over an hour commute just to get to the city) and comment every time I talk with them that they are incredibly house poor (even with two incomes) and cannot do much without increasing debt. As far as city neighborhoods go, several of them have seen significant investment the past 10 years. The Grove area, in just 10 years, is night and day. One example: A building in the Grove area recently sold for over $5M. The buyer purchased it from a guy that paid $900,000 for it in '95. Cherokee Street is another great example.

  23. There's a rather large stigma about riding the bus in STL. Perhaps some of that has subsided the past decade or so with metro link and its expansion (i.e. if metro link isn't bad, maybe the bus isn't either) but I know most of my friends wouldn't be caught dead on a metro bus. I think this speaks to a much larger problem St. Louis has and will continue to have in the future.
  24. Took me an hour to find a parking spot for the free SLSO concert in Forest Park. The set up on Art Hill with all of the people, well-lit trees, symphony stage, and lake was a thing of beauty. Couldn't believe I was in St. Louis last night. It's not just that St. Louis has so many cultural amenities and events such as last night but rather that so many of them are free! That's rare. I think you get a free corn dog at the Columbia, MO BP station with the purchase of 10 gallons of gas. Guess we can't overlook that...
  25. Looking forward to reading about Thatch's progression this year. I think he ends up ranked a lot higher than he is now.
