The real question of Ford's tenure and Parker why did he keep Parker sitting on the bench instead of playing during his first year?

You know Wiz, you humanize your computer. I know, Walt Disney made tons of money humanizing a mouse, a dog and a bunch of ducks. It worked well for him, why not for you. I do not think Duquesne will beat BYU, we will see about Dayton vs Nevada.

Believe or not a lot of the insurance companies have left the Northeast (Met left the HQ in NY and transferred operations to Charlotte NC, what is left of JH in Boston is corporate pension plans and management of old policies in a receivership operation, Aetna was bought by CVS and phased out of most life insurance operations). Hartford is not as much "insurance city" as it was before.

What programs like SLU should be focused on

Agree that Dayton without Holmes will not have the record it achieved this year. -

I think what you say about the NCAA Selection committee is correct in every way. I think that in fact Texas with a 9-9 record is likely to be able to beat just about any team in the A-10. -

To do this we need to start low and build gradually. This allows us to pay a lower amount than Ford was getting and dispose of coaches that do not perform as expected without much trouble. To do this I am afraid we need a different AD. So, we will see what happens. -

Dayton lost to Duquesne. I hope they manage to get a spot at the Dance, we will see what happens.

Jimerson named 3rd team all-conference
Old guy replied to billikenbill's topic in Billikens.com Main Board
That is a major difference between us and an IVY school. In the IVYs academics come first, sports are most definitely secondary despite the fact that they are D I schools. That can also be said about the DIII league that has U of Chicago and Wash U in it, academics first. I really do not know if this is correct or not, but I think, my opinion, that Pestello thinks that way also. -
Whatever makes Jimerson stay at SLU is good for us.
-
The Freshmen and Sophs have little to worry about, they can get to meet the new coach first and decide if they want to transfer.
-
The ones I would like to keep are Hughes, Parker, Van Bussel, Ezewiro, Curcic, Medley, and Thames. Any one of these that stays has good potential for us as far as I am concerned. Feel free to think my choices are terrible.

End of a (mediocre) era. Travis Ford is out.

The way I see it is this. If you want to be cute or sarcastic just be it. If you want to write as an MD, write as an MD. You have the choice, but if you want to be taken as an MD write as an MD.
