bk18 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 This is seriously annoying. I saw that article. I thought Biondi had a nice Feb letter that came out today in which he addressed a lot of the discontent at SLU. If you want to gripe about Biondi go talk to your wall at home, go make a blog, or write an angry resignation letter. The basketball game is no place for this stuff. Show support for your Billikens and that is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillikenLaw Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Im gonna fly a banner that says "Because of Biondi, your car might not be broken into after the game" Regardless of where you stand on Biondi, this makes no sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billikenfan05 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 As soon as it comes out if anyone would like to join me in blocking it from view you will be welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomble Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 This is a silly idea. It, as 05 points out, overshadows the team. And worse, these people are going to get thrown out of the game... http://vimeo.com/33677884 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be taken down in 10 seconds. Incredibly stupid gesture if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillikenLaw Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 you must not remember midtown before SLU Biondi bought it all Muggings and car break-ins still happen on a near-weekly basis, within a block of campus. Unless the DPS e-mails I still get are just making stuff up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACE Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Personally, I would rather they do this outside of the arena, but it would also be a terrible idea for fans to confront them and try to take the sign away. Then you run the risk of having an altercation which turns into a news story, which also serves to get their cause publicity. If you see it ignore it. If they paid for the tickets and it is acceptable within the rules of Chaifetz Arena, who cares. It seems like a really stupid idea for these folks to tell the media that you are going to do this ahead of time. If hanging banners is against the rules at Chaifetz, this gives security plenty of time to come up with a plan for confiscating it. Perhaps they are not really planning on hanging the banner, but rather by talking about it ahead of time, they have already succeeded in generating publicity for their cause. Now that would be clever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMM28 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 This is getting ridiculous. These faculty and associated malcontents are really turning themselves into villains with stunts like this. Very few of them seem to have the best interests of the university in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatewaytonowhere Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I actually thought this would happen. I also think as long as they aren't blocking anyone's view or being offensive I don't see an issue with it. If I were making the sign I would write: "Confidence in our Billikens No confidence in Biondi" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 The good news is that they're using a SLU home game to get noticed. In some recent years, that would not have been a way to get attention - not that many people and certainly no TV cameras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillikenLaw Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 read my original post.....

If you're arguing that Midtown was safer before Biondi took over, then you're wrong. However, let's just all focus on the stupidity of using a basketball game to promote an agenda.

slufan13 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 From what I understand, it's not just alumni who are in on this. Some of the students who won't give up on the no confidence thing are in on it too. I can promise you they will not be in the student section if they try to pull that.
