kwyjibo Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Fairleigh Dickinson beat St. John's at St. John's in the NCAA 1st rnd and will play at SLU Sunday. They had a slow start to their season, got hot in Northeast Conference play before losing to Quinnipiac in their last regular season game. They apparently have a very good goalie. They are also 6-0 against Catholic schools and 5-5-5 against non-Catholics. Xavier beat Kentucky 1-0 and Charlotte beat UAB 3-2 so the A-10 will have 4 teams in the final 32. Top Drawer Soccer analyst, J.R. Eskilson, picked SLU to win the East Regional (the other analysts picked #1 ND and UNC). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Metzinger Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I don't care if it's Emily Dickinson, SLU should win this. Go Bills! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLUBALLS Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 2pm. Hey should we be tapping our collective resources to get some sort of tailgating going on top of Olive and Compton garage? I'm reaching out to the SLU goalie coach to see if he knows who I would contact to try it. I've got a couple other people to check with as well but anyone else have direct access to the powers who could make it happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLUBALLS Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Also we can't underestimate any team that comes into Hermann for an NCAA game. Lets not foget Northwestern (Roth's 35 yard knuckler) and UIC on penalty kicks I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLUBALLS Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Goalie coach will talk to parking people today and get back to me ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WUH Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Also we can't underestimate any team that comes into Hermann for an NCAA game. Lets not forget Northwestern (Roth's 35 yard knuckler) and UIC on penalty kicks I believe. I will never forget the loss to UIC on penalties. It was 20 degrees (or felt like it). The UIC goalie was the first player on their side to take the kick. Tim Ream with the weakest effort I have ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLUBALLS Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 2009? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WUH Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 2009? That would have been my guess because it is hard to believe that it was so long ago, but it was actually 2007 according to the Almanac: http://slubillikens.com/fls/27200/MSOC/HistoryRecords.pdf?DB_OEM_ID=27200 2009 was the year that Missouri State had to play in St. Louis even though they probably had a better argument to host. I heard the suggestion that SLU was awarded the game because we had a higher average attendance. Is attendance ever a factor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLUBALLS Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Who knows but I would guess that it might. So what say everyone about a tailgate? We've got a NCAA game at home and a fun SLU team to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwyjibo Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 2009 was the year that Missouri State had to play in St. Louis even though they probably had a better argument to host. I heard the suggestion that SLU was awarded the game because we had a higher average attendance. Is attendance ever a factor? I do not know all the factors and is definitely weird. Better seed is the biggest factor, but attendance and previous games (playing away previous helps) are also factors. Usually the better seed gets the home game all other stuff being equal. I think sometimes the better seed may not have the field available or the school willing to host. Tulsa is the 11th seed but they are playing AT South Florida (who, despite being unseeded and with an RPI of 35 will have two home games to start the tourney). Tulsa is the only seed not playing at home this Sunday. I am guessing Tulsa's field is being used for Track & Field (do not want to play with javelins and discs flying) but I really do not know why they do not play at home.

Billikenbooster Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 0-0 T half. Fairly equal play. They have very good individual skills to my uneducated eye, but seem to be arguing among themselves a bit. Our keeper has the sun in his eyes this half. mhg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billikens747 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Tuned in at 25 mins. SLU seem to be doing a good job of possession and producing corners. FD backs seem quick and able to neutralize our offensive schemes. FD with better opportunities and have had 1 or 2 good shots on goal. Let's hope for some halftime adjustments to get some shots on goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
