slu72 Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 Yeah, his the streets are talking was pretty good. I once got a tip as to who he was, but since I'm a moron, I forgot. I do recall the tip made a lot os sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box and Won Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 If he had information that the rest of posters generally do not, he is an insider even if in a slightly different sense. Either way, I want to hear from people like him. He seemed to have significantly less info once Majerus was hired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyRican Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I am tempted to show up at this Thursday and scream "who the f*ck is our basketball coach" during the Q&A.

DoctorB Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 is anyone defending it? if so, how/why?? implicitly, of course, the higher administration/president might defend it. but again; welcome to my world! I would not hammer the AD, btw. "How anyone can defend this is beyond me..." is something I've heard countless SLU folks (mainly professors, chairs, & administrators) say over the past several years, regarding a number of much more grievous errors than announcing the extension of Jim Crews.

TheA_Bomb Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 We have a "Wool Center"? Sounds itchy. Did any of you guys maybe an insider hear when they would announce the head coach?

slu72 Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 I'm not an insider just a moron, and since we morons can do anything because people will say, "Aww, he's just another message board moron.", I'm hereby naming Jim Crews, the NBAC Coach of the year, as full time interim head coach of Saint Louis University. There. Done. Finis. We don't need no stinking presser that'll cost the AD about a grand for food and drink. Now JC get out there and get us more guys like Reggie (Duke talk).

Taj79 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Seriously --- what the hell is the Wool Center? I know I don't live there anymore but this is news to me. And after a littlew research, bingo, I find it. It's in the pie slice that is the "V" just west of where Lindell shoots off from Olive. I think that was the bar "Ballhooters" when I went to SLU. Right across from Tegler and Tegler Aud? Well, that's certainly important and dwarfs all other issues --- NO MATTER WHAT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB73 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Biondi is the problem. This is a pure symbol of Biondi's power, he rules all. Typical. How many days now, 18? The 6'8" PF verbal is a very, very good sign, though. If JC is named today, maybe we can still sign another top flight recruit or two. Strong spring recruits have to be wondering.

SluSignGuy Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 SLU 72 Fan has inside information. PDiddy has insider information. For Da Love is close to the team. Billikan is a well-connected donor. Occasionally, some of the rest of us regulars, including AlumniFan, even have access to some info. Jimbo brings the humor and nice photos. I am late to the game, but my impressions is that this is pretty accurate. I will say though that just because you donate does not mean you have correct information. I have had "insiders" (donors, people within SLU, media) tell me things that did not prove out to be true over the years. Heck, just compare it to your job or life. How often does an outsider know the full story? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they know. Sure, some people know a few things, but with this program, there are very few true insiders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my wife and I were back on campus to catch the Butler and Dayton games, last time was five years ago when Chaifetz opened and we attended the Dayton game, we noticed the sculpture park, We thought it was a dog park (several dogs were in the park running around and christening the statues). We thought that was pretty neat and unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonwich Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I've now had two casual friends, people who are casual Billiken fans in part based on our recent success, ask me "WTF is wrong with SLU?" in the past few days in reference to our seeming inablity to address our coaching issue. Anecdotal, but I bet it's not just a couple of outliers. Having lunch with some old friends today and will be interested to see if the subject comes up.
