I thought I was the only one in STL that doesn’t like Imo’s. Oily cardboard to me. The family orders Imo’s, I get a salad. Hard to screw that up.
Not even close.
I never understood the hype. It's glorified cheese and crackers.

It’s fun to see the publicity but means nothing. It really only helps if you get off to a good start. Win your early games and you will get votes because you were on the radar.
Yeah, they don't know they have to win games first . /s

This train line could put St. Louis on the map. But I'd be wary of a bunch of east coast carpet baggers showing up.
My business partner Samuel Cupples wants to market our wares to the travelers.
St. Louis of today is not the same as it was in his time. We need all the transplants we can get.
….and if I thought it was a non story, I wouldn’t have replied.

Could you imagine going to Dayton, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Philly, NYC, and even taking the Northeast corridor to DC when they host the A10 tournament without flying nor driving ?

Jimmy Bell, Jr is a dual sport athlete
QuoteMississippi State has a new dual-sport athlete on campus.
Jimmy Bell, Jr., who suited up for the Bulldogs basketball team this season after transferring from West Virginia last summer, is expected to join the school’s football program beginning this week, according to On3.
While Bell might not have any basketball eligibility left, he technically has at least one year of football eligibility remaining. The 6’10”, 280-pounder spent a stint with the Mountaineers’ football program while at West Virginia. He was listed as an offensive lineman but never played in a game.
During his high school years, Bell was a three-star in football before stepping away from the gridiron to focus on basketball after his sophomore year. In his final two prep seasons, he dropped from nearly 370 pounds to 290. At West Virginia, he participated mostly on the scout team after deciding to give football another chance.
Bell averaged 5.0 points and 4.9 rebounds during his lone basketball season in Starkville. He is planning to begin spring practice with the football team on Thursday, but it’s unclear if it’s just a test run or if he’s a shoo-in to be part of Jeff Lebby’s inaugural squad at Mississippi State. The good news is that there’s no fouling out in football.

Until TheOne or Trilly confirms it, I would disregard the rumor.

MBM expectations are what they are. We always think we're better than where we're picked in the preseason. That's why we're MBMs.
Give it a rest.

Or the three of the starting 5 saw Gibby returning etc
Let’s not hold this against TheOne. We’d be left in the dark if not for him.

Jimerson wouldn’t have stayed if both Avila and Swope had gone elsewhere.

Looks like we'll get 2 ISU starters tops plus Gibson. Not exactly the most accurate post.
But I am loving the other guys we are targeting.
Thankfully we have a coach who knows how to coach.

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
Bump for the bedwetters

Only one NBA champion on that list. An NBA champion with the local team at the time. Bonner's team was two games away from winning it and Hughes' team never had a chance against the superior Spurs.

I'll listen to TheOne. He's been right most of the time.

Maybe the Blues or City SC can do it in the future.

After 22-23 I think it’s wise we take a deep breath and just wait. All good things come to those who wait, so sayeth the Hoop Gods.
Are you capable of being happy about anything for a brief moment ?

I'm hyped, but always want to have realistic expectations. We can't take winning the A10 as a given.
Indiana State finished 38 in KenPom ranking this past season. They did not make the field as an at-large. Dayton finished 32 in KenPom. Dayton was cleared viewed as the "best" team in the A10, but finished 3rd in the standings.
Only they would've made the field if they were in the A10. A more visible conference nationally plus Avila's star power.

Hellavu a Final Four! I saw another projection that had VCU as the A10 bid, idiots!
Baseball America has them in the field and agreed that it’s ridiculous.

Yeah, l’m sure LSU and Florida were really hoping to move to whatever conferences Bowling Green and Western Michigan were in when they hired Nick Saban and Urban Meyer respectively.
