It’s crazy how everyone calls me crazy but watching this video is about everything but winning. It’s like a social work club for GPA and community events. No winning at all. AD is one of the most delusional toxic positive people I’ve ever heard speak. He’s like a cult leader for idiots. MBB has poured millions and millions into program and can’t get into tournament. Katie Sheilds has done great but that program uas reached its peak and MSOC has stalled nationally with recruiting internationally and pro soccer hurting them. Baseball has facilities and resources as nice as Affton JV baseball program. Softball first tournament ever, won’t see any investment to help that move forward more. No Field Hockey coach currently. Track is track and rest is fluff. Also nobody on staff is raising money, open positions since January. Place is abysmal behind curtain and AD can’t face it. Ford’s buyout alone could’ve built suitable baseball and softball facilities up to the minimum and helped soccer program as well. He genuinely has no clue. Just hopes MBB makes tournament each summer and things magically work out after 18 years. How Fred could let him hire three head MBB coaches is embarrassing. Ask staff and coaches and one on one they will say how truly miserable department is to work in currently. What a joke. Say whatever you want, call me whatever you want, that isn’t a winner running department and this is not a winning culture or program.

Entire MCC high school league has better set ups than SLU and that’s who they recruit from….AD has done nothing to acknowledge it at all in 18 years. 18 years.

If you think that an AD at a D1 school shouldn’t be expected to build and improve facilities you are part of the problem. Chaifetz Arena was there before him, soccer Mo way given by Kavanaugh, CC was more Fred’s doing along with Chaifetz, Bob O….SLU could hire LSU baseball coach tomorrow and with exact same set up he wouldn’t move the needle. AD has thrown $3 million at NIL to try and keep mbb relevant and they didn’t win last year. Program is falling behind at light speed each passing year. I’m just tired of AD’s mister positive outlook, things are better than ever, greatest year is coming up talk. Guy is an incredible talker, about only thing he is very good at. Just say I can’t do anything, Chaifetz tells me what to do and I hope mbb makes the ncaa. Actions speak louder than words.

New dugouts, new stadium seating….D2.

Last rant post….nobody might care bc for last 18 years Chris May hasn’t lifted one finger to help get people, mainly families to any games, especially weekend games. If OFallon Hoots can get 1k people a night, slu should be able to get people at their games. It’s called marketing and planning. How this goes on in this city is crazy. And in summers that facility can be making the program a lot of money and be a marketing piece in community all on its own if done right.

How many games have you been to? Do you know anything about the college baseball landscape right now? Importance of facilities and nil? Did you hear about that little deal going on this past week in Omaha that’s been nationally televised? Making excuses for an AD that can’t multitask and hasn’t put any sort of a plan together over last 18 years, who probably makes a lot more than a majority of the posters on this board is hysterical. Again, great takes.

An attitude like this is why a guy like Chris May survives this long and why SLU is where it is and will continue to fall further and further behind. Slu should be in BE and on par with likes of Xavier and Creighton. You are right about May pouring millions and millions, blowing millions on a program nobody cares about outside of maybe 4500 season tickets and that’s mbb. Baseball in St. Louis at a D1 program, not hard to figure out. Great observation.

Best pitcher Kelly is in portal. No way he comes back to SLU. No NIL, no scholarship increase, nothing to offer players. Zero chance coach can keep up with 11.7 scholarships and that facility. But at least Chris May says with new rule changes SLU is positioned better than ever to compete. So that’s a positive.

Years ago at a season ticket holder event Chris May was asked if Lindenwood or Maryville would ever become D1 programs and he said no way that would happen in our lifetime. If he says something is or isn’t going to happen, bet the house on the opposite side and you’ll win every time! Incredible.

https://x.com/stltoday/status/1932195522867065253 It’s this type of nonsense I’m talking about. Two athletics development jobs have been open for almost 6 months and this clown is out there saying new rules help SLU compete? Talk about the fake news. What reality or drugs does Chris May take bc I want to live there or get the number of his dealer. Delusional and typical stale lines

Majerus wasn’t hired by May so let’s take away the NCAA appearances by his teams, even with Crews there too….just the random appearance Ford made out of no where….1/18 years…..5% to plan. Don’t expect anything to change while he’s around and “in charge.” I do not get defending someone so bad at their job, who can’t get a job anywhere else bc whole industry knows he’s a goof. Everyone outside SLU bubble sees it. It’s sad.
