Brett Joly was from Texas

I am sad to see Jimmy go. He showed his ability to achieve through his weight loss. I wish him the best and think he will have success.

He had a rough 4 years to be a Billiken. He always kept competing and he kept producing. I am sure he was frustrated that the team overall was not what he thought it would be (i.e. he joined a top 25 team that fell to the bottom of the A10 when he arrived). He never let that frustration that I assume was present become a distraction or bring his commitment to the team in question. I hold Roby in as high regard as Lisch, Goodwin, Highmark, or any other Billiken. I am excited he is back.

I think Linnsen still has 2 years left.

I hate to say that’s what they will do next year, but I imagine they will play with match ups as much as possible to protect against mid major upsets.

When I was at Purdue, the OSU fans were the worst. You’d have 30 year old men trying to pick fights and chanting at random groups of people. OSU was the only school that caused a few establishments to ban anyone in OSU gear on game days.

Well I think the face shield is to direct the virus to his sideburns where it is safely trapped protecting Pastner and those around him. TBH using masks at this level of competition is more optics than anything.

BTW.....what ever happened to HIPAA...it sorta seems odd to me how such specific names come out. It is also to hide them given the HUGE amount of gambling that goes on around this tournament. Glad it is not my problem to manage those things.

I remember a story (I will just have the gist of it) that athletes cannot start to have the meals paid for by the school until semester beginning or practice start or whatever specific event. Glaze could not feed himself because he lacked the means and they found a way to get him like a jar of peanut butter and a couple loaves of bread to just get him through. While things can change and people can change and his current lifestyle is a bit extreme, Grandy always seemed well liked, friendly, hard-working, etc. I wished him the best when he left SLU and would have also been happy to see him return. I think he will be a great interview and will have a lot to talk about just focusing on his playing days and childhood.

I struggle to wrap my head around the fact that Jimerson is headed into Freshman Year #3. Thatch is headed into his Sophomore Year #3 next year. An interesting question that I have not seen asked (and I do not want to disrupt the thread) is to try and figure out how long Thatch plays for....I hope 3 more years.

Four years of eligibility...right?

We weren’t even in if Creighton and Colorado won.

Cuse is in. That’s it. Sucks.

Utah State as an 11. Not trending well...

I am offended by the Billiken because it isn’t this. We should implement the change immediately.
