NashvilleBilliken Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I see. So 8 wins in the number 10 conference is getting it done. I'm not really sure how to respond. Then again, I don't know why I read your post at all. After you made a ruthless comment about one of the most beloved billikens fans less than 1 month after his death, I told myself I wouldn't read your posts again. My bad.

brianstl Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 That and the practice facility definitely make an impression on a kid. You must have missed it or you are choosing to ignore the fact that the father of one of the top high school underclassmen said that it matters only two days ago on this very board. I posted earlier that Everhart should be named coach of the year. But, don't go to crazy over what is happening there. They still have only won eight games.

slu72 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 UB has repeatedly bought in players that contribute? He did it one year, his first, because he had no choice after Zo's recruits hit the road. I'm not annointing Everhart for Sainthood, but given the situation at Duquense over the last 4-5 years, if I was a DU alum I'd be dancing in the street. They drew less people than a Slim Whitman concert and won about as many games as Saddam Hussein won wars. And I wouldn't be claiming AK is a ready made player. Yes, he had a good game against UH and let's hope it continues. DP and DB's overall contribution has been marginal at best. In fact DB's contribution this year has consisted of primarily giving the ball up to the other team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NashvilleBilliken Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Exactly. Give him coach of the year. That they've even been able to win any games after the tragedy is great. Coupled with the fact that the entire conference has underacheived, I think he's a shoe in at this point. But, as you say, 8 wins (4 OOC) isn't exactly something to be boasting about.

My bad. huh? You do realize that lies make baby Jesus cry, right? still waiting, nashville..... just as I thought.

Canadian Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 There's always time for Billikens.com in my life. As fergie once said "Hotties come and go like seasons" however, billikens.com will always be there. I don't post weekends cuz I am typically inserting intravenous drugs with my supermodel girlfriends, while sipping on Krystal, sporting only a man thong, relaxing in a hot tub in the back of my Hummer limo.

NashvilleBilliken Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I'd stay away from the Krystal...and stick to White Castle. Unless you're talking about Cristal, the champagne. And I'd recommend staying away from that as well. It's way overpriced and hyped up for a mediocre bottle of bubbly (P for Q at least). I'd recommend trading that for a solid bottle of Krug. Or for even less money, a bottle of Veuve Clicquot. "J" is also one of my favorites, but I haven't seen that one in awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Stick with Natty. Perfect for the budget of an 88' Accord driving college student like Canadian. Not terrible tasting and it will do the job. It also goes great with mac n cheese or ramen noodles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Beast Light (Milkwaukee's Best Light for you old timers) is on sale for $4.99 for a 12er at the Shell on Grand right next to campus. Oh, Cup O Noodles is my lunch of choice. Nothing like getting 145% of your daily value of sodium in 3 bites of chicken flavored "pasta" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are Brad-like numbers. perspective. Look where the programs he took over started and where they ended up: At Northeastern, he inherited a program that averaged fewer than nine wins in the six seasons prior to his arrival and produced 19, 21 and 19 victories in his final three years. In his five seasons at the Boston, Mass. school, the Huskies averaged 16.4 wins. His 2004-05 team, which finished second in the America East Conference with a 15-3 record (21-10 overall), advanced to the postseason conference tournament championship game where it lost to NCAA Tournament Cinderella Vermont. The `05 Huskies went on to earn an NIT bid - marking Northeastern's first postseason appearance in 14 years. In 2005-06, he led the Huskies to a 19-11 record and 12-6 mark in the Colonial Athletic Association. His starting point guard, Jose Juan Barea, was named CAA Player of the Year and forward Shawn James earned Defensive Player of the Year honors. At McNeese State, Everhart ended a streak of six consecutive sub-.500 seasons by leading the Cowboys to a 15-12 mark in 1995-96 - his second season at the Lake Charles, La. school. His seven-year stay culminated with a 22-9 record and Southland Conference regular-season title in 2000-01. The 2000-01 Cowboys, who won 19 of their last 20 games before losing the Southland Conference championship game by a point, earned the school's first postseason bid in 12 years when they accepted a bid to the NIT.

brianstl Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Beast Light has been known to contribute directly to increased purchases of toilet paper. A fact to consider when weighing the cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STLfan Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Duquesne's arena can actually seat 6,200 which isn't bad. They just don't come anywhere near filling that. Last year they averaged 1,528 for attendance. For the A10's sake I wish they would average 5,000+. It would look alot better. http://goduquesne.cstv.com/facilities/duqu...il-palumbo.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
