RiseOfTheBillikens

Paolo Banchero and Tatum were at UMSLs gym the day after. May have been others as well but only saw Paolo's post. Is that better or worse?

Goodwin is right there in the background of the video. You got your most recent alum NBA player, practicing with two of the best in the league right now on your campus. It's not that serious. It's just cool they are playing hoops at the same place us regular alumni played hoops at.

Internet grammer police. Nothing worse.

Y'all want him to win tho? Lol Damnd if you do, damnd if you don't.

Interesting. Looks like a fairly well done job by Ford to retool. Excited to get back to Chaifetz to watch some billiken hoops this year and to cheer on the new look bills.

Lol Yuri was first team all defense and you would think this man was swiss cheese if you hung out on this board.

Rag on the coach until he is fired. He kinda has a point. Seems like that's how a lot of the fanbases of the big boys act haha.

Thank you for clarifying. Looks solid. I'm getting excited again. Bring home one more big Travis then I'll be ready to let the bud selects flow.

Ya atmosphere paled in comparison to city games but definitely was a great time. Just announced that game will be Gregg Berhalters first game back. Should be interesting.

I wonder if Gibson is in the gym with Goodwin. Someone mention Goodwin had been working out at SLU right?

It's not just Reyna. Pepi hung up on Berhalter after he gave him the call that he wasn't going to be on the WC team. I'm sure they can get over it but this whole situation has been a mess.

He ain't MUCH taller than both of them...

Dalger is also in town for team blue workouts. Also cian has a Tshirt line (SLU themed) for anyone looking to support. https://plat-mob.com/products/c1-t-shirt-white

Video would be cool if anyone stumbles upon one. I trust the wiz. This intrigues me Guy is fuvkeddddddddd

As someone who has seen pretty much all the big sports and some other bucketlist sport stuff. Being apart of the spectacle at Citypark week in and week out has been priceless. Getting season tickets for them has been one of the best decisions I've made. Feels good to have at least one winner right now in the city. If you're into sports I very much recommend bringing the family/friends down to a game this season to experience this crazy ride no matter the cost. But ya the messi ticket price fiasco is happening all over the MLS. It's nuts. And yes I'm shelling out whatever it takes to see SLU in the final four.

Great post. Yuri will always be a favorite of mine. Just had a conversation with a casual SLU hoops fan yesterday and he was upset with the news that he was staying in the draft pool and not returning. I informed him about how there was a chance that he would transfer, etc. I had told him that a decent chunk of the inner circle of rabid bills fans weren't fond of his play and aren't upset that he wasn't coming back and he was shocked. He said he was probably his favorite bill to watch since the Jett teams. He then proceeded to tell me that SLU basketball is probably falling off his sports fandom radar. I think Yuri did more for our program for the casual watcher (especially local) than people realize. As many have mentioned previously and as sad as it is to admit, SLU hoops is pretty irrelevant again to the common fan and seems to be trending in the wrong direction. Having someone on the national level kept us kind of in the news. Anyway, thank you Yuri for a fun 4 years and the memories you provided. Wish ya the best going forward.

Yikes

Calling Yuri me-first is down right hysterical. I'm ready for him to move on but not because I don't want him. I'm just tired of having to get on here and read a bunch of arm chair qbs critique a local billiken great. There's also a part of me that hopes he goes somewhere and tears it up just to prove a point but the other part of me hates that idea cause it'll just prove how disfunctional our team is.

Good times.

Ya that was my first thought. At first I didn't think it was likely but that would be awesome. One can only hope.

Odds he plays in the Gold cup for us here at city park?

I'm still waiting for a real 5

This poster is the originator of the long standing tool recruit joke for those who don't know. Legend Honestly there was a moment a year ago I envisioned slu with bol and that sounded nice. Oh well.

I thought we were supposed to hear good news regarding a transfer today...

I mean I had some good times as a fan last year. Obviously it wasnt the year everyone expected but there were plenty of good moments (Many can be attributed to Yuri). If that's the case though then they were never a fan to begin with. If you expect to win in sports everytime you lace em up you're due for a rude awakening. Maybe there aren't that many big money fans, I just remember May saying stuff along the lines of "People asking me what its going to take to make a winner here" during the new Athletic Center presser. Now you have a direct way to make a "winner". But point taken and I don't disagree. It would be disappointing to see that money not achieve what should/could of happened.
