DBear Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Greetings Billiken fans. I didn't see a thread about the upcoming game so I figured I'd start one. I haven't been keeping up with the Billikens with the exception of the Pittsburgh game so please excuse my ignorance. How have you guys been looking so far this season? I'm not quite sure what to think of the Bears so far. We haven't played super great teams so far and this game will tell me a lot about the Bears. We dropped our season opener @ Toledo and beat some teams we should have at home. This game has me worried, with the exception that its in Springfield so hopefully the home court will give the Bears a boost. Any thought, opinions, outlook on the game? Should be fun. Any Billiken fans heading to Springfield? I actually live in St. Louis but I'll be going down for the game, as this will be my first time to see the Bears in action. Best of luck. Oh, and feel free to stop by our board, http://www.mostbears.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjray Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I wish the Bears luck in all games except for this Wednesday. We're 4-1 but, like you, we really don't know what to think of our team. Have beat team we were supposed to but struggled early in two of these games. Our most talented player (Tommie Liddell) is in coach's dog house. No way to tell how much he plays. On the bright side, our 7 foot 5th year senior had the best game of his life Saturday. He showed flashes in limited play last year so one cannot tell for certain whether this is the start of trend or just one game for Bryce. Lots of question-marks. Should be an interesting game. Look forward to renewing our rivalry with the Bears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy03 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Any TV for this game? Either local or dish? Edit: Didnt see the TV thread. Looks like another game with Rammer and Earl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StlMel Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 My parents, fiance and I are heading down for the game. My sister, who goes to MoState, is very excited to shove this one in my face since I did a good share of teasing last year. Not sure where we're all sitting since my sis bought the tickets. Looking forward to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billiken_roy Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Let us all hope for good clock management. And I don't mean by the teams. i just hope the home cooking refs we expect to see dont let devon mitchell walk 6 times a half this game as he did last year in st louis. that is like a 20 point handicap right there let alone the rest of the home court advantage.

They are very sensitive about this question on the Bear board and delete all posts about the subject.That's because there's a 23 page thread about it already, and they're trying to keep it from spilling into every other discussion there. But the status is that they're suspended, and charges still haven't been filed. And don't the away teams usually bring their own refs in non-con games?

They are very sensitive about this question on the Bear board and delete all posts about the subject. We aren't sensitive about the players in question but we are sensitive about some fan from another team coming on our board telling us we are a small time hillbilly former directional school which is why your post got deleted. If you wish to talk about the players just jump into the 23+ page thread about it and don't bad mouth our school on our board. 2 of the 3 players have never played a minute of basketball for us while juco transfer Chris Cooks had 10pts 4rbs 3ast in 23 minutes in our first game. With the players out we only have 3 guards and 9 players total plus 2 redshirts. I have heard some talk we might know something by Wed. Safe travels to all SLU fans making their way to Springfield and good luck the rest of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billikenfan05 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I hope the billikens take this oppurtunity to shut up the many missouri state fans who called us cheaters because we didn't "concede" the win when we found out about the mistake by beating the s*** (Pardon my astrisks) out of the bears. (no offense to those missouri state fans who weren't sore losers) Second i will be heading down for the game and cheering at the top of my lungs!!!! GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!

TNMSUFAN Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I have been told this is the last game in the series for a while which I think is pretty sad. I really don't see how it hurts either school and it gives both of us a decent game on our schedule each year. Concerning last year the game never should have been that close in the first place as we had a decent lead then started playing not to lose and lost. I put that one on the coaches not the clock thing. I don't think our team is down like some have suggested as we start 4 seniors who have been a part of 3 straight 20+ win seasons and 3 straight NIT teams. We bring 3 JR and a SR off the bench which makes this probably the most experienced team we have had in a while. Our frontline is the best part of our team and our guards just need to make shots and not turn the ball over. Saturday night we had 27 ast on 32 baskets with only 6 TO against UNC Greensboro who was supposed to be pretty good...beat Georgia Tech by 12 at Tech. I expect a tough hard fought game and I guess we will see what happens on Wed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Ozark proverb, "Better to be thought a hillbilly , than to post on Billiken Board and remove all doubt. what missouri state says on their own message board about the billikens isnt the same as a billiken fan going to their board and making nasty comments. it is their house and as a visiting poster i think we should respect that and vice versa. so if some billiken fan went to the bearboard and was being rude, shame on billiken fans. the missouri state fans posting here havent stooped to that on this thread that i can see.

DBear Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 Just an FYI but you can hear Bears Head Coach Barry Hinson on the Pressbox on 590 the Fan this morning at about 10:20 or so. So this series is done after this season? Kinda hurts. It was cool to get an in state rival game on the Schedule. I remember something about SLU wanting to rotate between SIU and Missouri State. Are the Salukis staying on the schedule for you all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Billiken Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I see that Mo. State is opening a new arena next year and already has the first opponent lined up. That is great. I would hate to see this series go away either. I thought the bill introduced last year in MO about each D1 school playing the others was a little ridiculous but this and SIU are great rivalry games. What are the cons of scheduling this game if you are SLU or SMS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your post were edited with the reference to hillbilly taken away so it obviously wouldn't be there to read Not sure how a hillbilly acts but I will take your word for it. I was born and raised in Springfield went to school and played football out of state. I have lived in Los Angeles, St. Louis, and now make my home just outside of Springfield. I don't live in the hills, have all of my teeth, own my own business and realize talking smack on a message board is just that...talk.

Tell us a little about the style of your center and 2 forwards. Are they physical bangers, slashers, outside shooters. Sizewise the matchups look to favor us bigtime if we choose to go big ... which is what I would like to see. Lisch, Liddell. Meyer, Eberhart, and Husak. I won't be surprised though if we go smaller with Eberhart, Meyer, Liddell, Lisch, and Polk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has some nice post moves this year that he didn't have when you last saw him. He's a big tree trunk. Good banger. Dale Lamberth is shooting about .480 from three and has the sweetest touch shooting that I've ever seen. He generally plays outside, but can somehow get it in the basket in so many ways when playing inside as well. He's definitely not a banger though. Deven Mitchell will do just about everything. Incredibly athletic, big slasher/banger. Have seen him shoot from outside and mid-range jumpers as well. He'll do whatever he needs to do.

rchif0 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Wow, with that kind of talent how do ever lose?Because there's also a backcourt. And we have issues rebounding at times. And we aren't all that great on defense all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
