Bishop is not a victim of SLU or the Pestello regime. Bishop participated in an orgy, allegedly participated in the filming of that orgy and allegedly posting it online. Tell me how he is a victim again?

A Group of Death where SLU was the worst team being the only team that didn't win a game. The pitching staff vaunted? They gave up 17/18 runs in two games. Vaunted huh?

Sitting down with Cusamano (who is a moron) is the last thing Goodwin needs to do. I guess you want the juicy details? Goodwin needs to play basketball and go to school and thank his lucky stars X his suspension wasn't longer.

Bad. The Baseball team had a chance to prove how good they are. They weren't up to the task.

Then the basketball players shouldn't have put themselves in the position they did. Dont participate in an orgy, film it and then post online. The basketball players got what they deserved. Had they behaved better, they wouldn't have had a problem and would still be on the team. It is the PLAYERS fault in both instances. billikenroy - just pay her off. I was right in an earlier post where SLU fans are no better than Baylor. Sad. SLU is a CatholicUniversity and needs to hold their athletes to a higher standard or they are gone.

At some point the athletes have to be blamed. Stop making excuses for them by blaming Pestello and Weathers. Athletes will never be blamed on this site. Posters on this site think athletes can and should have sex with whomever they want whenever they want. Sad.

There was another POSITIVE article about SLU the other day about the baseball team making the NCAA tournament. What? They only do negative articles. Or no article at all. Then Jesus Ortiz writes another nice column about SLU. Whoa. This can't be. Definitely does not fit the narrative. no one will respond because for some reason the Post doesn't get a fair shake on this site.

Intelligent. Classy as well. billikenfan05 You might want to return your SLU degree. Proud of Tim Ream except for that part of the USMNT that failed to qualify for the World Cup.

HoosierPal - How are you doing? Thank you for inviting me and telling me about this board. I am sure all of these recruits were being recruited by IU, Stanford, Notre Dame, Duke, Virginia, UCLA. Those are the school's beat out for these kids signatures. I would be curious what other schools were recruiting these kids. That would tell a lot about how successful or not they will be.

While I appreciate everyone's passion for baseball does Billikens baseball really need a bigger stadium? They play a soft schedule (don't see Texas, TCU, Florida, Florida State, University of Miami) and really don't draw. Soccer. Again. Attendance is minimal. No need to build a bigger stadium until the need is there. are there people in the Athletic Department whose job it is to fu drains for a new stadium? To my knowledge no, but if there is why not call them up. Say why are we not fundraising for a new stadium. Posting anonymously on a message board won't get it done.

Interesting topic on SLUTalk on stltoday.com. HoosierPal says the Graduation rate for the Men's Basketball team is over 90 percent. Is that true? The NCAA says it is 77 percent. What say you? Which is more accurate?

You didn't mention the fact that the players (one or all posted the video online) why do you leave that out? So the players have no responsibility for what happened? I wonder if/when we will hear something about the Circuit Attorney and if she will pursue charges. They may have gotten a break because she seems more interested in pursuing charges against Greitens ( which will further her own career) than pursuing charges against the player/players (which won't further her own career).

That can't be I thought because everyone on Billikens.com says the Post NEVER has positive articles about SLU. Yet here one was. Much to my dismay there wasn't one mention of it on Billikens.com. How can that be? Is everybody at the Kentucky Derby? Maybe it doesn't fit the narrative. Here is the crazy thing. This is the second positive article about SLU this week. There was an article about the softball team. Yet no mention on Billikens.com. Why is that?

So here is the question. If the Porters had approached Ford about coming to SLU you would have wanted Ford to say no. Now knowing MPJ was going to be hurt all year obviously you would say no, but at the time no one knew that. I would have wanted Ford to say yes. The Post had a nice article about the women's softball team this week yet no one mentions that. Doesn't fit the narrative I guess.

Agree with this wholeheartedly. billiken_roy and I Agreeing more and more.

Unfortunately you are wrong. i have never called anyone an idiot. I dare you to find a post where I have called anyone an idiot. You won’t though because you can’t - you are a coward.

Can you show me where I said that because you didn't quote me which means you lied. I never said SLU sucks - I asked billikenroy if he truly was interested in having freshman not compete because that would mean Gordon wouldn't be able to play for SLU next year. I know you won't respond because you are a coward like the rest of the posters on this site. Instead of trying to engage and prove me wrong you make little posts as a troll (even though you don't point that out) - you want the members to police the board which is an extremely bad idea by the way. That is a good way to foster groupthink.

So what do you know Billikens Roy and I agree on something. The only thing is that means Gordon doesn't play for SLU next year. Are you willing to sacrifice that? I am sure this post will get hidden as Billikens.com goes to rules that President XI would blush at.

The difference is that Mizzou baseball lost those three games to the University of Florida who I believe was number one in the country. SLU lost to SEMO, SIU-E and Jacksonville University. There is some difference don't you think? The P-D prints what they think the vast majority of its readership wants to read about. Pure and simple. That is why there is so much Cardinals coverage. SLU tennis? Really? There is NO interest in college tennis. Look at the attendance of their matches. That proves it. Even the attendance at SLU baseball would prove the lack of interest. The job of promoting SLU athletics falls to the Sports Information Department at SLU. Not the PD. If SLU baseball averaged 10,000 fans per game. Their would be a reporter from the PD there. Same goes for SLU tennis. Track? Again, outside of the Olympics there is very little coverage of track.

So the kid from Iceland is going to be the A-10 player of the year and a lottery pick? What would you like to bet? I guess we won’t be hearing from the guy who said the Post should be covering the baseball team more since they have lost five in a row. So much for that at-large bid. Rob Loe was so good the NBA completely ignored him.

I am not talking about last year I am talking about this year. You are telling me this kid from Iceland is better than ANY kid in the US that doesn't have a team? I have a hard time believing there isn't a kid from the US that is better than this kid from Iceland. my other question is who else was after this kid's signature? Villanova? Duke? Kentucky? Kansas? Gonzaga? That would tell a lot about how good this kid will be. So I guess Travis Ford is the smartest coach in America and he is the on,y one who knew about this kid? Hardly. This kid from Iceland will be an end of the bench guy. Rob Loe and Cody Ellis were average players nothing special. No professional career of any consequence.

There is only one NCAA Tournament appearance and Elite 8 appearance before 1973 ( SLU’s last NCAA Soccer Championship) So where is this eons stuff coming from? It has been forty years since SLU has won College Cup and twenty years since they have been there. Talk about eons. With the recruits Kalish has I doubt next year is the year either. SLU is going to Iceland for recruits? What about New York? Chicago? Philadelphia?

I am much more a ND fan than Mizzou fan. How is Mizzou basketball more successful than SLU basketball? Mizzou twenty six NCAA Tournament appearances SLU nine. Mizzou twelve appearances in the NCAA Tournament Round of 32 SLU five. Mizzou six Sweet 16 NCAA Tournament appearance SLU two. Mizzou four Elite 8 NCAA Tournament appearances SLU one. How is SLU Men's basketball program better? Looking forward to facts, not emotion. I have never downplayed SLU's soccer success (show me how I have done that you won't). I have only pointed out that their last NCAA College Cup appearance was twenty years ago. Their last NCAA Men's Tournament College Cup Championship was forty years ago. How is that downplaying it again? billikenroy that story about me being rebuffed by SLU soccer is not true. Have never been and never wanted to be associated with the program. That was started by HoosierPal (who by the way invited me here so you can thank him). He is wrong. I am sure you won't answer as you are afraid to. For everyone downplaying S2 saying it was no big deal and the players should get off and walk with no punishment - you guys sure are sensitive about it. Guilt maybe?

I am not defending the Post. I am pointing out why the baseball team doesn't get that much publicity using facts. Not emotion. They have a good record against a weak schedule. The fact that no one outside the SLU community knows about the baseball team is up to the Sports Information Department. I would love to post something positive about SLU as soon as there is something to post. I follow the soccer team and let's face it there hasn't been a lot to post positive about that team. They have made the NCAA Tournament twice in eight years. Haven't been to College Cup in twenty years. Haven't won an NCAA title in over forty years. S2 was disgraceful. Yet posters on this site were only worried about how it impacted wins/losses for the basketball team. Not that S2 showed there are some serious moral issues in the basketball program. In terms of Missouri and Illinois basketball both programs have been more successful than SLU. Just using one metric is trips to the NCAA Tournament. SLU doesn't even exist in terms of retailers in regards to SLU stuff. You see Mizzou SWAG though. I bet in Illinois you see Illinios SWAG as well. In terms of the baseball team deserving publicity - there is a famous movie line -Deseverves has got nothing to do with it.
