NH Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 There is a huge lack of billiken videos on the internet, thanks to oh five for putting these up. Quote
billikenfan05 Posted March 14, 2010 Author Posted March 14, 2010 +2I have a couple more that I should get to tonight. Does anyone have any requests? I have every television game that wasn't on charter minus Charlotte. Quote

Box and Won Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 Went down the proverbial YouTube rabbit hole last night and stumbled upon this partial 1988 game between SLU and Iowa in Hawaii. Looks like Iowa was ranked No. 4 at the time and we gave them all they could handle. They had B.J. Armstrong, who won three rings with the Bulls teams in the '90s. Per Basketball Reference, Iowa had FIVE(!!) future NBA players on that roster. Anywho, lots of great Bonner/Gray/Douglass stuff here, as well as HC "Rick" Grawer. And some quality local commercials from Davenport at the end. SLU_Lax, NH and JMM28 3 Quote
Box and Won Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 And here's Kevin Footes' highlight video, if ya need it. MusicCityBilliken and JMM28 2 Quote
JMM28 Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 Damn. I’m impressed you found and bumped a 10 year old thread. Good work. Quote
willie Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 Footes-the big chill-Newberry. Pretty good talent . Too bad Robinson and Footes were head cases. Quote
Pistol Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 The crowd noise in the Footes video is impressive. I never saw a game at the old Kiel but it apparently got loud in there. Where did they play that "Chaminade Classic" game? Looks like a much bigger venue than where the Maui Invitational is held now. Nice play by Armstrong to end it, by the way. Quote

It's unfortunate that the auditorium was demolished when there were numerous other downtown sites where the Enterprise Center could've been built. Quote
almaman Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 Place was awful for anything other than hoops imo. Quote
Brighton Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 Quote I never saw a game at the old Kiel but it apparently got loud in there. It did. It rivaled the Arena at times. Quote
Billikenbooster Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 Great games there vs Xavier...‘Take a Seat, Pete’ Gillen was their coach. One game seemed like half the population of Evansville filled the upper deck, yelling Purple Aces. Went home sad, though. Place really rocked. Miss those kind of rivalries. Quote

Looks like a precursor to the arena Hawaii currently plays in. Quote

The days of having actual conference rivals - within driving distance! - seem like ancient history. Quote
