Do miss the spirited discussions with Gruehls from Cincy. He wasn't a flamer, just a good guy. I think his daughter went to SLU.

It was his son, but he was only here for a year before he transferred to ND. In case you hadn't heard, Gruehls passed away a couple years ago.

Yep. Had to get that one in. :)

Cool. And nice of you not to mention that the student manager was NOT suited up when WE played them.

There's some funny xxxx over there. "I liked Criswell better when he was suspended" for example. And I've learned that "(nm) means no message."

Where are they? I remember long battles with flamers from other teams coming on our Board and stirring things up, making me laugh. Brownindians seemed to remind me about the absence of outrageous claims and empty threats.

Have we become too civil? I think not, but there have been no visitors dropping in to challenge our team, supporters, etc, causing us to get crazy.

Go over to the A10 board. That is were a lot of the smack talk takes place although now that X is gone it has died down. At times 90% of the posts were UD and X fans going back and forth. The board is pretty civil for the most part, but there are some good threads and there are about 5 or 6 consistent Billiken posters on there, some of whom I suspect are here as well under different names.

Holy cow! I just clicked the link to the tiger board. What a train wreck on several levels. Now, I am sure some of those posters live in Cooter, Missouri, have about 4 teeth, and cannot remember where they parked their bass boat, but even so, they are completely in denial. There were also several realistic people on the board too, but, wow, just wow!

That weak-sauce MizzouBuickFan posts the same quote, "I live in STL, no one here even talks slu hoops- Really!" EVERY TIME someone brings SLU up on Tigerboard. I think I'll post a reply saying, "Maybe if you keep repeating that lie over and over, it'll become true (in your own mind)."

They don't have a basketball program. They have a refugee camp with a refugee coach and refugee players.

They have a mediocre coach who doesn't recognize the values of defense and developing team rapport.

I think he just assumed the ability to foster a good rapport and play defense was a part of each player's purchase price.
