DoctorB Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 This sounds like a hoax but it isn't -- in fact it was yours truly who reported the incident to DPS, as I walked across campus about 4:45 this afternoon-- if you go by there you will note two 1/4" steel rods that held down the statue, evidently sawed off with a hacksaw or something. wonder how much it weighs. a ransom note was left, scrawled on a piece of notebook paper. Never seen it missing in 11 years. Does anyone else recall not seeing it sitting there outside old Pine Gym?? boo hoo--does this bode evil for tonight's game?? or possibly the billiken Gods will be out for revenge against the Kent folk....never wake a sleeping giant!!

Are you serial or super serial? How much does that thing weigh? I hope Kent State dies. All of them. Unless the Billiken is returned unharmed.

bills10 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I saw that! I thought it was someone around here, rushing or something. Or maybe cleaning it. But KSU kids stole it? I'm gonna get em. They are going down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 the ransom asked for by those who took the billiken... 10,000 Jimmy Johns sandwiches. At least we know they value the thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills10 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 they put it nice and neat in a new spot! in front of the arena! maybe they are trying to make amends for their criminal records Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malibubill Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I understand the students are leaving candles, flowers and notes!! The basketball program is really bringing some fun and spirit to campus. The students are in for some big time college fun that the SLU campus has not seen before. It was a long time coming, but SLU is finally doing it right. I know, there are still some problems, and people can nit-pick if they want, but looking at it from afar and from the big picture, SLU is finally doing it right. Congratulations, and I hope the students and the local alums enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SluSignGuy Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 they put it nice and neat in a new spot! in front of the arena! maybe they are trying to make amends for their criminal records So the Billiken is back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills10 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 well, I didnt see it because of the crowds, but it is my understanding that it is permanently moved to what i think is called the "Drury Plaza" in front of the Chaif. The place with the red marble and such. I have mixed feelings about this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
