thetorch Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Anybody hear Biondi speak this weekend. Just heard he was critical of Majerus and the basketball program in general during his speech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slu72 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Get out! You have got to be joking or kidding me. Can someone please corroborate this. I'd be very surprised, make that shocked, if this was true. If there's dirty laundry you certainly don't make it part of a graduation address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notfairweather Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I think he said something about when the alumni come back to basketball games, hopefully they'll have won a game this century or something to that effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commitment my ass. I hope we go to the tournament this year and during Senior Night, Brian Conklin chest passes the ball into his face so hard it knocks his ###### collar off. What a ###### ######...

Hey, at least he knows we have a bb program. If true, shame on the good father. This ought to serve as great motivation for RM and the team.

justice Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I attended the commencement & heard the statement made by Fr Biondi. He did make a comment stating that he hoped the program would win sometime this century. He did not name names, but there is no doubt about what he was referring to.

JMM28 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 **** Biondi. He's a true p.o.s. Leisure Suit Larry is a total jagbag. Anyone who has ever worked with/for him thinks the same. He dresses like a pimp and acts like one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waldo027 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 He kicks the star PG out of school for something that's not even a crime, and then makes jokes about the program losing? What a ###### jerk. Were BC and KC and their families sitting in the arena when he made this joke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JettFlight5 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 He wonders why the program doesn't win....look in the frackin' mirror. Biondi has cost this program more than any player or Situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Metzinger Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 The SGA in '05 was very close to issuing a vote of "no confidence" in Fr. Biondi. Having been on SGA my senior year, it was very interesting to see how polarizing the man really is. Obviously there's a camp that is totally in love with a man they've seen once or twice on campus. The other camp had a knife at his throat over issuing a fee for commencement speakers (ours was totally lame), naked statues and an intramural field of horrible sculptures. Rick might not be the crux of all our basketball-related problems at the U. Maybe we turn our attention to the man in the roman collar.

And people can criticize RM all they want, that's fine. But they need to realize he puts up with a lot of sh*t and we're lucky to even still have him.

A vote of "no confidence" was issued in the late 90's in relation to the hospital sale. I suppose it let us march around and look/act pissed off, but it had little-to-no effect.

A guy who is the head of a catholic hospital system. Woo. I am sure those graduates will remember that for the rest of their lives. I think at mine it was a guy who wrote some christian book that most christians had never heard of. The commencement speakers are a joke at SLU for sure. But do presidents ever get fired here? I can't imagine the board ever voting this guy out since he lets TanningParlor Cook run the basketball program. I am sure the rest of them do whatever they want as well.

BillyKen Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 We had Joe Buck in 2008 and I believe Yogi Berra spoke the year before. Buck was awesome! What other St. Louis native would you suggest to go for in the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we ended up getting what we didn't pay for. A slice of Berkeley at SLU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
