Access journalism at its finest! If SLU is going to oust his buddy who gives him 100% access, you can bet he’s going to want a guy in there who has just as close of a relationship with.

If I were Bruce Weber, I’d also like a job badly where I could be generously paid for being mediocre at my job. Pretty sweet semi-retirement gig.

Chris May needs to pull the plug before Saturday. This is pathetic.

It is apparent from the absurd contract given to Ford that there isn’t a great grasp on market rate relative to performance coming out of SLU. Is it really that big of a stretch to assume that also doesn’t apply to NIL? Overpay for a coach relative to his results, overpay for players relative to their abilities. If the 750K number @billikenfan05has is accurate, our NIL seems fine. My guess is that people don’t know how to spend it properly, which makes sense based on Ford’s deal.

I'm 100% sure he doesn't have a plan. 8 years of evidence that he can't earn an at-large here. Another year won't yield a different result.

If Ford gets another year, I think that’ll be the thing that finally causes a lot of fans to walk away. He took over a program that was in the basement, never reached the top floor, and now is back in the basement. It’s painfully obvious he isn’t the answer, and I really hope no one falls for the excuses he spouted during that segment.

I’m so ready to be done with the Ford second halves.

It’s not like anyone else on this team matches up defensively either… except Larry and Kellen

If Frank is crying about that on the radio, you can assume Ford is too, considering how close they are. It’s just an approach of trying to save his job through excuses.

Would be the exact kind of hire I’d expect out of May. Just get those 20 wins instead of chasing more. I’d wager he won’t be the person driving the search, after he was the one that really fell in love with Travis as a coach. The decision might be out of his hands entirely.

Cringing reading my old posts. Was an absolute sucker. Going to chalk that up to being a dumb undergrad.

Removing all that has happened since 2019, especially this season, it’s still inconceivable to think that one conference championship warranted a 10 year extension at top dollar. That is just being played by an agent, plain and simple, if it’s true.

Fire everyone. That’s inexcusable.

The tricky thing with Billikenswin is they haven’t logged in since December. So doubt us lowly posters will be hearing contract details anytime soon.

This past off-season looks worse and worse the further into the season we get. Took on multiple guys with eligibility concerns, a guy who eventually gets kicked off the team, 2 de-committed players, and were also allegedly strung along by the Memphis big man. Doesn’t really seem like a great sign of where the program is at.

I would like just once for someone to ask Travis on the record why he thought Brad had such a good case for a waiver. It won’t happen, but it was pretty evident from public facts that he wasn’t going to get approved.

@The Wiz Does the projection change for this game and rest of season much with the departure of Tim Dalger?

If this happens, that’ll probably be it for most of the fandom. Attendance is already in the gutter, recruiting is reaching for questionable talent levels based on the last few offers, and apathy is setting in for a lot of fans. Keeping TF around two more years could essentially kill the program in this rapidly changing landscape.

There’s a big difference between saying the right thing, and being the guy to fix it. The problems of Ford’s teams on defense have gotten worse the deeper we get into his tenure. That doesn’t suggest he’s the guy to fix them.

To the surprise of no one, SLU pressed only once the game was out of hand.

I miss Francis Okoro.

I know the point of the thread isn’t really this, but how much better of a team is SLU really with Brad? Offense is better, defense is still horrendous, and all this results to 2-4 with him in the lineup. 1 point win over LA Tech 12 point loss to NC State 7 point loss to Loyola 12 point loss to George Mason 3 point win over Saint Joe’s 5 point loss to Dayton.

And Holmes went on to score 11 points in those 5 minutes. Thames hit a garbage time shot at the buzzer too, which made it look closer than it was. Bruce did fine against Holmes.

Yeah exactly. It’s weird to track people’s posting habits. I used to love being super active in GDTs, until I realized I was missing large chunks of the game by posting. Everyone does it their own way, and I’m certainly not judging how anyone is or isn’t posting.

Sometimes people don’t post because they’re, you know, watching the game.
