DirtyRican Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 They also have almost 30% less people in their metro area. Is that city limits, county. trailer parks, squatters, cats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbizzle09 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 "All I said was equating the rabid St. Louis support for the Cardinals is not an equal measure to be used as an overall consistent demonstration of unequivocal support across sports in this town." If ever a sentence could be described as 'Taj-esque', this would be the one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busch Stadium capacity: 43,975 Record attendance: 47,399 (Game 7 2011 World Series) This is a proper post on a thread about recruiting. It has facts, and exclamation point, and references another poster and a record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it can also be regarded as a shot at Taj. In fact, the post previous to this was also a shot at Taj, so I'm definitely well within the guidelines of this thread.

waldo027 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Regardless of the sarcasm involved your post has to be classified as on topic and we are over the limit of 13 on topic posts in this thread. Please repost something regarding a cheerleader, a train, The Cardinals, or you can take a shot at Taj or Clock. Please follow the rules in your future posts or I will be forced to recommend you be suspended for 30 days. Sorry. I really should have known better and should have started a new thread instead of using the existing thread titled "Recruiting" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I can't find any new information today on Saintil, Strawberry, Onwuasor, Jesperson, Yacoubou, or Abell. And we need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moytoy12 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I can't find any new information today on Saintil, Strawberry, Onwuasor, Jesperson, Yacoubou, or Abell. And we need it. I've set up a last man standing event in Salina, KS to see who gets the last scholarship. Those in the know are putting their money on Yacoubou. I'm sure the Wiz will just copy the Vegas odds for this event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshoe Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Taj, I think its fair to say you missed Bizzle and my points. If you follow the thread, the two or so pages prior to your post were about whether taking a recruit to a baseball game made sense. Some good points were made that it was better than doing a campus tour, it shows that St. Louis cares about sports, etc. Then you go on your rant that it is "utterly ridiculous" to use a Cardinals game to portray St. Louis as a "rabid sports town." The point isn't whether the attendance and support for the Cardinals has a one for one correlation with other sports teams but rather the point was whether taking a recruit to a Cards game would shed the city and the school in a good light. If your posts would stay on topic maybe they wouldn't be met with such cynicism from Ace, Bizzle and myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgeldmacher Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Boston, Cleveland, and probably Detroit....maybe Dallas. Cleveland??????? They have a first place baseball team that is in the bottom three in attendance. To be a top five sports city you at least have to have fair weather fans that show up when times are good. At least the Rams sell out when they are doing well. Detroit - also doesn't sell out their football and baseball stadiums when they are doing well. Dallas - Rangers, Mavericks and Stars don't light up the attendance numbers. Boston - agreed, should be in top five. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 An inane argument about whether young black males like baseball has now become an equally inane argument about the top five sports cities in the country. Nice to see a thread about SLU recruits devolve into AM sports radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JettFlight5 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 So anything on any recruiting targets today? I mean, I'm crushed we didn't get Wiggins. I heard the ultimatum was that he had to decide if he's coming to SLU ran out yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard they took Wiggins to a cardinal game and he was appalled that they would try to correlate cardinal attendance with SLU attendance. Also as a young black man he hates baseball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it would be SLU basketball-related. Wiggins chose KU over us. I heard we were close. The only tidbit I can find on any of the SLU names is a tweet by Saintil ("nah not yet") in response to a question about whether he's made a decsion. Anyone have any word on how Abell's visit went (or is going, if he's still there)? He saw a good Cards game last night, even if he's too young and black to appreciate it.

SShoe Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Cleveland??????? They have a first place baseball team that is in the bottom three in attendance. To be a top five sports city you at least have to have fair weather fans that show up when times are good. At least the Rams sell out when they are doing well. They love their Browns, even though they suck, sold out Jacobs Field for 455 straight games during the late 90s, and sold out every game during the Lebron era. Seems to fit your criteria of supporting your team when they are good. Detroit - also doesn't sell out their football and baseball stadiums when they are doing well. They had 98% attendance in 2011 (last year available) for the Lions and obviously are fanatics for their hockey team. Dallas - Rangers, Mavericks and Stars don't light up the attendance numbers. No, but their support of the Cowboys is something to behold. Boston - agreed, should be in top five. No city fully supports every team (except maybe Boston), but each of the ones I listed are fanatics about at least one team in their town (like us) and have also shown the ability to support others during the good years (also like us).

Typically when we don't get a recruit we say we were 2nd. That is what I'm going with with Wiggins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
