DeSmetBilliken Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Just heard a little earlier tonight that Willie Reed Sr will be on with McGraw Millhaven tomorrow morning on 550 AM sometime in the 9 o'clock hour to talk about his son's recent comments about wanting to return to SLU. Should be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUBillsFan Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Just heard a little earlier tonight that Willie Reed Sr will be on with McGraw Millhaven tomorrow morning on 550 AM sometime in the 9 o'clock hour to talk about his son's recent comments about wanting to return to SLU. Should be interesting. I have to admit I'm very nervous about what Reed Sr will say about the whole thing. I'm fearful that he could throw a huge bucket of cold water on our hopes and dreams of Willie's return. However, I'm hopeful he will say something like "While we are not happy with how the situation was handled by SLU and believe that Willie did nothing wrong, it is ultimately Jr's decision and he wants to return to SLU, so we're doing everything we can to make that happen." At least this will hopefully give us some clarity on what to expect instead of this thing being drug out until January. GO BILLS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizziken Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 What happened to K State? Did we ever get an answer as to why that fizzled? Because he bleeds blue baby!!! Specifically, "My heart is to be a Billiken. That’s what I want to be, and I don’t want to be anything else." Classic Willie...and if he comes back, the quote of the year...

Runnin'Billiken Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I now officially repeal my opinion that RickMa is the person who makes me most nervous with a microphone and no time limit. Congrats Reed Sr., you have taken over the throne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I'm sure that is true and all, I'd bet the fact he can be eligible to play this January compared to Dec 2011 may have a little something to do with it too.

dlarry Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I just hope Jr. had shared this idea with Sr. before it came out on FSN.com If Sr. had no idea Jr. was thinking this way it good be bad. If Sr. already knew Jr. was thinking this way then Ill feel better about the article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willie gets to play immediately rather than sitting out until January 2012. Not a real tough choice there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
For-DaLove Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I will say that I know for a fact K-State was ready with open arms to give him a spot on the team. I think the playing thing has something to do with it. I believe he will go pro after this year if he has a good end of the year and he wouldn't have got that exposure at K-State, Mizzou, etc.. As much of an open mouth as Willie Sr. has he is also a smart man. He's not going to mess this up. Should be good news IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moytoy12 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Willie Sr. is going to say that his son has always loved SLU, SLU treated him wrongly, his son knows that not everything was right about "that" night, and hopes SLU can do the right thing.

I have two boys myself and would defend them in any way I could if I felt they were treated unjustly, especially if I felt they were being unjustly villified. I honestly don't know if I would have done anything different than Willie's father did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have been the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
