TRN Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I saw this snippet from Bernie's article today. At least we have one Jesuit president supporting our team. "The SLU president, the Rev. Lawrence Biondi, didn't attend Thursday's game, and he won't be at HP Pavilion today. He's traveling abroad. But at least the Billikens are receiving some Jesuit support from the Xavier university president, the personable Rev. Michael J. Graham, who attended Thursday's win over New Mexico State and will likely be in the house today.

Bobby Metzinger Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Is he lobbying to be his successor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCoastBilliken Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I support Biondi for a lot of stuff he has done, but WTF Biondi? This is just stupid. He did it last year as well. Is there any reason why Biondi can't schedule his Asia tour until after Easter? Seriously... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeSmetBilliken Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Any chance we can just take this Fr. Graham character back to STL and tell Biondi that he can stay wherever he's traveling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I asked my father-in-law (who knows Fr. Graham) if he knew anything. "I wonder what that's all about." He thinks it's odd that our sports writers would even know or write about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he likes college ball, likes rooting for a fellow Jesuit University, and thought San Jose would be a pretty nice get away from the cold weather.

I can only take it as a positive for SLU. Maintaining connections is always good. You guys are probably right. Maybe it's a little Big East networking, too. It'd be nice if our Prez could show up. But I'm sure the tanning is better where he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bomble Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I don't understand why Biondi is in Asia again during the tournament?! What a joker. Planning secret papal take-over. He has the dirt on Francis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box and Won Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I'd take Fr. Graham as our president in a heartbeat. I don't think his being at the tournament means anything, however. Biondi, get your arse back to the states for the tournament. This is ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucan2 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Biondi doesn't give a crap about SLU sports. He likes the money they generate, but that's about it. And the non-revenue sports? He'd prefer they'd just disappear. And Title IX must be a big thorn in his side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufan13 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Well hopefully he either gets back soon or has no say in the coaching decision because whether its Crews or not, this decision has to be made right away. The spring live recruiting period isn't that far away and we can't go into that without a coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmbilliken Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Biondi has got to give May authority to get this done. I don't have confidence he will. He has shown a propensity to do things his way on his timeline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseman Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 He takes this annual trip as a fundraiser - now that does not make it right. Does anybody know when he is due back? If he is back by the weekend or early next week then May can do all the final leg work and no problem but if he is over there for a month then he better not hold things up. I sure hope May has a short list and can narrow it down ASAP - I guess if Marshall is on it that will slow things down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently not many posters viewed Bloomberg sports snippet about SLU that was broadcasted on Wednesday. Lot in it. U ought view it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
