Midtown Madness

Here’s the better question, how can we better utilize the band and DJ together to make a unique arena atmosphere. A call and response or back and forth type bit. Like the band plays certain parts of the song and the DJ hits a record scratch and then the OG recording plays, then he scratches again and the band takes the song back over. Do I know if this is possible? No, do I think it sounds cool as hell. God damned right.

A little thread on the neglect of SLU baseball.

No. We have good reason to believe that SeanMcDonald account is not related to Travis Ford.

It's because I have been highly critical of his refusal to accept anything other than the company line regarding the eligibility and compliance saga. I don't think much of him and he doesn't think much of me and by extension the podcast. I assume he thinks it was a nonstory and/or out of line to put the burner on blast.

Nothing personal was said. Clearly his son felt he needed to defend his father, he went at people in DM and replies. We were smartened up to who it was and confirmed by another account. So we tweeted it out. Credit to Travis for acknowledging it.

He dared me to.

I wasn't denying he fouled him thinking we were still down. What I was saying is that I didn't hate that he fouled him. He was past Jimerson and I didn't think we were in good position to defend the a final shot. So I wasn't overly upset with the foul. Maybe I wasn't clear, it happens. I have never pretended to know anything more about basketball than enough to be dangerous. I was having fun with a hot take. Luckily, the foul turned out to be just fun footnote on the game at this point so we can make light of it.

I’m curious to know if the attitude towards the shove would be different among a lot of people if it was a male cheerleader. It’s obviously a humorous sight for a 115 lb cheerleader to push a large basketball player, I am not sure if it’s the same if it’s a dude.

Hey thanks for listening to the show. Without listeners there’s no show. Bummer to hear you feel that way. Unfortunately Ford is the biggest topic going in our show’s world and he happened to take issue with fans, if we didn’t spend time covering it and/or filtered our thoughts on the matter it just wouldn’t be the show we both agreed to make.

Thank you for the support. It means everything, especially right during this MBB season, no joke.

More notes on this episode: Breaking down an insane parking situation Friday night at the Olive Compton garage including an assault on my car by parking attendant(slight exaggeration). We talked about the schedule release, our frustrations with the delay. The release after the ticket renewal deadline and teasing a schedule that should have been out weeks before. Decently dense basketball recruiting episode. Some really positive reactions to Homecoming.

.

Fair. The rant evolved into a larger discussion of how the issue is a microcosm of the fans complaints regarding the athletic department and the leadership over the last decade. But I really appreciate you taking the time to hear me out on this one.

We want to be clear here: this is not about bashing anyone. This is about right and wrong. It's about the hypocrisy of preaching gratitude while neglecting to show gratitude and respect for your student athletes.

I don't care if you've never listened to a single minute of the content Peter and I have put out. I don't care if you think that I am a loudmouth moron who doesn't deserve a platform. I don't care if you think my opinions are completely wrong on every single level. I don't care if you are only a Billiken Basketball fan. If you've ever complained about Guy Phillips. Please listen or watch the first 15-20 minutes. What was allowed to transpire during the introductions at the Field Hockey match was unacceptable and I promise you the title and thumbnail are NOT hyperbole in any way shape or form.
