slu72 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 The Spiders are on a 5 game winning streak at home. At home they have defeated the last 3 teams that held the conference lead (Charlotte, X, and VCU). This ain't gonna be no easy game, Billiken fans.

Road games vs. good teams rarely are. Put me in the camp that thinks this game is huge (they all are though). We have good positive vibes surrounding the program right now and a loss would certainly throw a wet blanket over those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relax SShoe, we have no room for hand ringers in Section 108, I am confident that we will win on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonka Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 We won't lose this weekend. This team has it together now. The great thing about a team with such balanced scoring is that we have a number of guys who can step up at any time. Cody and Dwayne are playing out of their minds right now. Loe is having good conference play. KM can break out at any time. Jett will slit your throat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever made up those Jordair Ts last year has got to jump on this. Jordair the Ripper! with a big slash mark right on the back. Love it, Tonka. We can't lose after that comment.

slu72 Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 Seriously, is there a worse mascot in college than a friggin Spider? Is there a team called the Snakes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Seriously, is there a worse mascot in college than a friggin Spider? Is there a team called the Snakes? Yes: Wildcats. Spiders is a great nickname. I love mascots that are unique, whether regionally specific, school-specific, or otherwise badass. Nothing is more boring than a generic mascot. How many Tigers are there? Or Hawks? Screw that . I'll take a Spider, Billiken, or Explorer any day over a Wildcat, Tiger, or Eagle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take a Spider, Billiken, or Explorer any day over a Wildcat, Tiger, or Eagle. It is even worse when the teams that share a mascot are in the same conference. There are 3 Tigers in the SEC and 3 Rams in the A-10. That means there are multiple Tigers vs Tigers and Rams vs Rams games each year. How awful is that?

someoneelse Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Seriously, is there a worse mascot in college than a friggin Spider? Is there a team called the Snakes? Is there an animal that causes more visceral fear than a spider? Big cats like tigers, panthers, wildcats are scary yes, but not in the same league as a spider.

I understood them dumping the mascot, but the nickname itself shouldn't have been offesive to anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
