Bay Area Billiken Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 See their Board via the link A-10 Forums to this Board. Some of them are ripping Coach Majerus- as if they wouldn't take him in an Olean stoplight minute. Another is showing proper respect. Let's defeat these Bonnies and send them back to the hinterland. One wonders how Bona Travel is getting the Bonnies to The Lou. Are they chartering? If so, from where? Or are they taking dogsled to Buffalo and connecting at Midway? And with this post, the annual visit from Brown Indian is undoubtedly imminent. We actually have 2 nice St. Bona grads in our parish. They remember Bob Lanier. Andrew Nicholson, the Canadian import, may well be St. Bona's best player since Bob Lanier. Seriously, this is a big game, and a must win situation for SLU.

Bay Area Billiken Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 This was part of the smack. I think Coach Majerus will have the Billikens ready for these invading interlopers from Olean. Maybe SLU can recommend that the Bonnies spend the night in Otterville- almost just like home, except one doubts Otterville has that stop light. A dog sled or two in Jersey County can probably be found to accomodate them, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box and Won Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 god, this is hilarious. great find, box. I'm probably responsible for about 400 of the 1,100+ hits that video has received. I love it! "Calvin Jermaine or Jermain Calvin. I don't know. He sucked." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 The Bonawelders always seem to give us trouble. I think it's those Brown uniforms. Seriously, brown and white for colors? But I'm guessing after the UMass fiasco, RM's likely stuck firecrackers up their keisters this week in practice and we should win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, brown and white for colors? But I'm guessing after the UMass fiasco, RM's likely stuck firecrackers up their keisters this week in practice and we should win. St. Bona is a Franciscan school, like Quincy University (of which many of us still say Quincy College) in my hometown, which also wears the Brown & White, in honor of the Franciscan Friars. I was once in a discussion with a Springfield in Illinois Diocesan priest and a neighbor who grew up on the next street over, a QC grad, who told me how a QC professor (I think he was a Franciscan) contended that the Jesuits were responsible for the loss of China. We have a healthy sports rivalry right here between the Bonnies (Franciscan) and our Billikens (Jesuit). Beat the Bonnies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bay Area Billiken Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 The Bonnies' last visit to SLU, 2 years ago, was viewed in the middle of the Italian night from a villa in Tuscany. And three days later a memorable visit was made to Assisi, home of St. Francis himself. As such, our Billikens are global! And look who set the pick for that game winning shot by Kwamain Mitchell. I could use a little less drama this time, but in the immortal words of Al Davis, "Just win, baby." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicCityBilliken Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 We have a healthy sports rivalry right here between the Bonnies (Franciscan) and our Billikens (Jesuit). I don't know, I always felt that the Bonnies would fit better in the NEC or MAAC (with the rest of the Catholic Upstate schools). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would. But they think they are above the MAAC. This St. Bona team has given SLU trouble since SLU joined the A-10. We need the win.

Bay Area Billiken Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 First, this thread has interestingly been hijacked onto the Bonnies' Board. Copying must be the sincerest form of flattery. It shows they are interested in the game out there. But far more importantly, this is a big game tonight, a must win situation for SLU. St. Bona is 5-2 in the league, albeit the obvious beneficiary of scheduling. We have a common non-conference opponent: St. Bona lost at home to Arkansas State, whereas the Billikens blew out Arkansas State in a no contest game from the start. St. Bona has a tall team led by the 6'9" Nicholson. Kloof, from the South American country of Suriname, is reportedly a good defender and has assumed point guard duties. SLU has lost 4 of the last 5 to the Bonnies, including 1 at home. SLU's lone win was the Kwamain Mitchell game winner 2 years ago. Since 2001, the series is even at 4-4. I was at that SLU win in 2001 when the Bonnies were coached by our buddy Jim Baron. Let's protect the home court and get the win tonight.

AMDG Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 This is a much different team than the last five Billikens teams. I look forward to watching the Billikens win easily tonight and perhaps seeing some minutes from Manning, Barnett, and Glaze. Bills by 12.

It's not a big game but we need to win it obviously. It won't be close. St. Bonn will have trouble scoring. I look for blowout of more than 20 by the Bills.

Riveting action will favor SLU at the Fetz tonite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
