I'm fine with it. It will look good in locals eyes that Schertz cares about Tate and St. louisans.

Thankfully we have a coach who knows how to coach.
Ya. We got Schertz. The rest of the guys I hope we get but I trust Schertz to get the right guys. Might not be as strong of a first year if we don't land Robbie and them but imo Schertz was the one who made those guys who they are.

Schertz and Tillet honored at the STL city game. Dirty is already a legend.

I don't know what to tell you. I don't think you really understand how much some of SLU"s boosters are really worth. These aren't the type of people that will be making NIL spends through a collective website. This isn't just Chaifetz that has stepped up. I have heard two different numbers for what will be available for SLU to spend on NIL this season. The lower of those two numbers would have put SLU among the very elite of P5 basketball NIL spending last season. Will Texas spend more this coming season than SLU will? Sure they could, I am sure they have the means to and they probably will. Also just because the money is available that doesn't mean SLU will spend every last penny of it. That still doesn't mean SLU won't be able spend just as much or more than Texas when it comes to what they are willing to spend on a specific player both programs are targeting. Being willing to spend that money doesn't even mean that SLU would land that player. There are many kids that would rather play for Texas at the end of the day.
I'm still holding out hope we just "SMU" our way into the big east eventually.

I don’t know how the TikTok algorithm works, but Avila’s last post was on my for you page last night and almost all of the comments (none actually from RA) are saying he’s going to SLU
Huh. If you look at bleacher report or ESPN or any of those bigger college basketball posts they are full of people saying UConn and other powerhouses. Obviously that's probably not going to happen. Still think he comes here but interesting nonetheless.

This boat is getting full.
It's crazy seeing all the big sports media outlets post about Robbie transfering and asking where is he gonna transfer to. Comments are full of people saying he's going p5 and fans wanting him to come to their school. I'm over here telling everyone he's coming to SLU. I thought since he had that no contact note it was pretty much done. But maybe he just didn't want to be bombarded by everyone. Pretty wild stuff.
We instantly get a solid national following if he comes here.

Damn if Avila doesn't come here I am gonna look like a clown telling everyone around me that he was going to be playing for SLU next year.

You read all of that and decide that the "particularly" exciting part is Nitu?!
Nice bonus, sure...but come the fouck on.We've seen the others. We haven't seen Nitu. I'm with him on this. He is really intriguing.

Roster bits:
- Avila is 99% a Billiken
- Expect 3-4 of ISU’s starters to be Billiken locks, with potential for more
- Strong mutual desire for Gibson and Larry to stay and be strong parts of the rotation, with heavy playcalling revolving around Gibson
- Strong interest in Turnbull (appears mutual)
- Christian Nitu out of Canada looking very positive
Dirty Schertz szn is upon us.
Cook baby.

Did anyone else catch that they played Pitbull after the Band stopped playing...
Lol really?
But yeah it's hilarious that the young season ticket holder asked the best question out of all of them.
Maybe simpleton questions were given on purpose.

An absolute home run press conference. Those dwelling on negative issues, take your L and sit this one out. Let us Billiken fan's rejoice. I believe Jimerson was in attendance today.
Frank and Bob had Chris May on the radio immediately after the press conference. It will be posted on The Press Box website soon. Look it up.
Schertz is throwing out the first pitch tomorrow at the Cards game. He apparently will spend a few minutes on the mound this afternoon to make sure, hopefully, he doesn't bounce it tomorrow.
Us billiken fans? We are not the same.

Amazing. We are the new Richmond.
The people (us) changed the world. I just wanna say it was a rough few months but we have hope again. And hope springs eternal. Or whatever that saying is.

The online campaign to dump Ford and hire Schertz/not hire Ahearn had a definite effect on the decisions made in the last few weeks.
How can you not see this?
Burnergate doesn't happen without the online pressure. That embarrassment was the tipping point in Ford's tenure. There was no coming back after that.
The AD's office is still talking about the box of clown noses. It was a big black eye for them. May might still have them, he did for several weeks after.
The silly multi year flirtation with Blake Ahearn was put down completely by online pressure.
Schertz as a a candidate was enhanced exponentially by the support of him online.
But yeah the grassroots thing was stupid.
The AD, Board of Trustees, and big boosters all read this board and Billikens Twitter. What we say does influence and shape their decisions.
Great post

Tony on one today. Good follow.
Agree though.

One thing they need to do is set it up so people can make recurring donations (monthly, quarterly, annually, or whatever). Right now it appears to be one time.
Yep I have so many tv subscriptions what's one more. Let me subscribe to the bills.

Probably been mentioned somewhere on here already, but BVF has a clean new site. Looks like we might finally be getting serious again
Just donated. Let's get this baby rolling.
