Adman Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I don't have all of the answers, and someone correct me if wrong, but here are a few for starters: how many bills have made it to the NBA -- (15) Anthony Bonner, David Burns, Bob Ferry, Larry Hughes, Robin Jones, Ed Macauley, Eugene Moore, Rich Niemann, Bob Nordmann, Barry Orms, Rich Parks, Melvin Robinson, Harry Rogers, Marv Schatzman and D.C. Wilcutt. If you include the old ABA, you can add Don Dee. Many others have been drafted but these, according to slu media guide, are the ones who have played. Where can I get the graduation rate of the team How many ncaa appearences has the team had -- 7 total years. 10 games, 3-7. how long has there been an athletic director who do you think have been the most succesful bills coaches whose #s have been retired when was blue crew founded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeseman Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Interesting stat about the attendance with MVC teams - so much for this great natural rivarly thing. Truthfully I am not a bit surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluecrewprez Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Blue Crew was founded in Fall 2001. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetorch Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 4 Billikens have their #s retired Ed Macauley, Dick Boushka, Bob Ferry, and Anthony Bonner There are probably over 20 Billikens who have been on NBA/ABA rosters but not all of them played in a game.I believe adman's previous list is accurate for Billikens who played in games, save for Melvin Robinson who never appeared in an NBA game but was on the roster of the T-Wolves for a season.

nigel Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Blue Crew was not founded in 2001. I was a member in 1994. There is a picture of us hanging in Humphrey's on the wall across from the bar when you first walk in(on the left). It has a brown frame. It may have died out after I left school and started back up in 2001, but it was around when I was there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetorch Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 During the spoon years at the arena there was a student booster club. A couple of them wore gorilla suits to the games. After Spoon's clubs starting tanking they stopped coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 It list all the players drafted out of SLU and who played in the league.

Box and Won Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 If there was a Blue Crew back in 1994, you guys did a pretty crappy job of publicizing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshoe Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 a strong Blue-Crew presence at the beginning of the 95-96 season as I was a freshman and member. We likely had 100+ members that season until the leadership sort of fell apart near the end of the season. They had something the next year but that was a bad season and by the end of the season it was literally me and 3 others that wore our stuff to the game...but it got us first row seats so we didn't mind. It may have been revived in Hughes' year but died soon after. Much credit should be given to the Blue Crew leadership for the revival of the program a few years later.
