    I've seen a ton of players from Power 5s on X hit the portal in the past few days.   Anyone know if we are in the market to bring some area kids back home?   Hoping we dont lose any of our young talent.   With all of the Seniors+ we are losing, hopefully this is a reload, rather than a rebuild.   

    I can see Nina Preusser leaving and is Becca Wolterman going to be a backup her whole career.

    Where do they sell rain ponchos in this place? I thought I was far enough under the overhang to not get rained on, but I was so wrong…..

    A big problem at CITYPARK only the top 8 rows or so covered from the elements. If you go to Children's Mercy Park in KC nearly everyone is covered.

    I first saw the hubcap thing several years ago at the women's games. Sadie S. and Jackie Kemph era. A young lady who played the drums seemed to be the instigator. She may still be in the band as an alum, not sure.

    Anyway, they started with just two or three to try and rattle the opposing free throw shooters when shooting at that end of the arena. There was also a "sales spiel" that accompanied the waving of the discs. It was rather cringe-worthy to listen to during a women's game with maybe 212 people in attendance.

    Now it appears the whole band has their own hubcaps. I've long suspected that they send a crew out to the parking garage at halftime to add to their collection. I must say though, that nothing's ever been proven!

    She no longer plays with the band, but she still goes to the games.

    25 pts for Peyton Kennedy, 21 for Kennedy Calhoun, 13 rebounds by Tierra Simon lead the Billikens. Still things to work on, but the Billikens still know how to fight and win tough games on the road.

    Glanton only played 3 minutes, is she injured?

    Yes, if you get a red card, you are required to sit out the next game in addition to sitting out the rest of the game you get a red card. It will be interesting to see what happens after that issue at the end of the men’s LaSalle game. If it was on a coach, same rules apply I beleive

    Yes, it was one of the assistant coaches, he will miss the next game.

    0-0 draw, tough to watch, both from the announcer inspired by the sound of silence and the single camera technically and the way the game played out. Expect to see a lot of Billiken opponents running out the 3 center backs and stuffing the box defensively until SLU proves they break through that formation. Not sure what the “discussion” between the teams was at the end of the game, but it looked like their might be some extracurricular activities going on after the game, the ref drew his red card on someone, but they didn’t say who it was on, could have been anyone on both teams. They cut from the game quickly, so I have no idea how that ended. Apparently they need to roll the broadcast booth cart back to wherever they store it between games.

    Floriani received a red card in 82nd minute, a second red card was issued at the end of the game. The box score says STL team, so I assume it was one of the coaches.

    I think you might be buying into the marketing of the NIL store. It’s good to see these ladies pulling in the NIL coin, I just don’t know how much of it is like 3rd party purchases. I would like to see them start bringing that merchandise into Hermann stadium or Chaifetz Arena/Pavilion to sell during games. Seems like a no-brainer. But to the point of the social media buzz, like that’s exactly what I want. I want them to be like see other people are buying into NIL and supporting the student athletes. I just don’t want it to turn into some “It Works” type sales . 
     

    You’re right about wanting more forward thinking leadership I don’t have as high of confidence in the current leadership. 

    Softball was selling shirts during their double header fall season game last Saturday.
