b.hayes Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 No Rockhurst Do Rockhurst games count for bball? Quote
billikenbill Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 billikenbill will, weather permitting, be on hand for the Charlotte game. Two years ago, I think there were 4 Bills fan in attendance in Halton Arena. Why don't we try to double that, or better, this year! Quote
sludon Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 The press release says "The Billikens have eight games currently slated for television". Does this include home games on Channel 11? Weren't most home games last year carried on Channel 11 locally? Quote
SaintLouBlue Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 Full Schedule announced and now on the front page. FYI...I think the date on the Arkansas State game is off a day. Should be the 22nd. Thank you for getting this up so quickly. Time to get these on the calendar so the wife can't complain I didn't give notice . Quote
bonwich Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 "Saint Louis will play at least 17 matchups against teams that advanced to the postseason last year." Well, hot damn. And I bet the Blues will play at least 75 percent of their schedule against teams who made the playoffs last year. Quote

Thanks (And someone pointed out earlier that I need to update the stats page, I will do that sometime this week.) Quote
kshoe Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 The press release says "The Billikens have eight games currently slated for television". Does this include home games on Channel 11? Weren't most home games last year carried on Channel 11 locally? The 8 games is just the "national" games and include: Washington, first 2 of Anaheim for sure, New Mexico (what the hell is the Mountain network?), Temple, @ UMass, @ RI, and Xavier. Simply put, SLU absolutely needs to find a way to get us on local t.v. for the away SIU, Xavier and Dayton games and really they should find a way to make the away Charlotte, St. Joes, LaSalle and Duquesne games also on t.v. If past years is any experience I suspect we'll be looking on the internet for a grainy feed to at least a few of those games... Quote

Last I heard about local TV was that Cheryl Levick was looking into this, that the Board Presidents would be meeting to discuss this and that litigation was possible. Since, then I really don't think there has been much of an update. Quote
slufan13 Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 Steve- This is just minor but on the front page it says "The A-10 schedule in 2012 leads off with SLU hosting Dayton" but actually Dayton is the home team right? Quote

Quality Is Job 1 Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 Sorry to be out of the loop but who is Cheryl and what is the litigation all about?Cheryl Levick is SLU's former director of athletics. She resigned about four years ago. She was the AD when the A-10 made its television deal with what is now CBS College Sports but hurt SLU's ability to find outlets to show its games. Quote
Scoop Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 Murray State's schedule is out and we are not on it. They have a home and home with Dayton. I really hope we don't fill Dec 10th with another D2 game. I'm sick of that crap. Quote
Cowboy Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 I really hope we don't fill Dec 10th with another D2 game. I'm sick of that crap. -at this point i am expecting a visit from the hawks of rockhurst or similar so we can debate, again, if the game counts -seems too late in the process for something else to fill that date, but being surprised would be a good thing Quote

Throw SEMO on there. I feel like these D2 games are a waste of my money as a season ticket holder especially when I drive over an hour just to get to the Fetz. Quote
Cowboy Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 If we are going to do meaningless game, let's make it interesting.......Lindenwood...... -i also thought about that and it would be interesting to say the least, there would be some discussion on this board about that game, if it came to be Quote

billiken_roy Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 I don't want a buy game vs a low D1 school. Absolutely nothing to gain and all to lose. Even if the billikens win it hurts our rpi. Go play rockhurst again. Quote
Box and Won Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 I don't want a buy game vs a low D1 school. Absolutely nothing to gain and all to lose. Even if the billikens win it hurts our rpi. Go play rockhurst again. That's what Mizzou fans say about schools like SLU. If we're not good enough to beat a low D1 school, we probably won't have postseason aspirations anyway. Quote

If we're not good enough to beat a low D1 school, we probably won't have postseason aspirations anyway. +1, bring on Towson at the 'fetz. If we can't beat them at home, then we're foucked anyway.

If we're not good enough to beat a low D1 school, we probably won't have postseason aspirations anyway. +1 Also agree with Scoop in that regular season games against lower division programs are a bad deal for season ticket holders. If I want to walk up and pay a few bucks to see it, that's one thing. But when a seat is $450 for 18 games, or $25 per game, a regular season game against a team that doesn't even count is unfair, given that two of those are already exhibition games (which I'm not arguing against). If this is another non-D1 game, I'd rather have my $50 back for my pair of seats. Quote

ACE Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 Scheduling takes two to tango and I'm sure finding quality buy games is not easy, but based on last year's top 200 rpi, here are a few that I would try that may not require a return game the following year -- Valpo, Oakland, East Tenn., State, Belmont, IUPUI, Furman, Austin Peay, Jacksonville (both on last year's schedule), and Ball State (an old Majerus connection). BTW, Vermont was #92 last year and Portland #103 Quote
