willie Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Congradulations to Billikan on being named the new Chairman of SLU's Board of Trustees. I guess maybe this board might now believe he was an insider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiseAndGrind Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Congrats! I'm confident the board will now give the basketball team the resources it needs to succeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Band Legend Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Awesome! One thing that could never be questioned is Billikan's undying love for Billikens basketball. Any big shot who would come on here and slum with a bunch of jokers like us really wants to talk SLU hoops. Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMM28 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Nice! I know another guy that is just joining the board who is also a Billiken basketball fan. Good to have someone at top who is diehard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACE Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 This was a classic tussle between two guys who no longer post here - http://www.billikens.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=23227 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorB Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Congrats Joe, we look forward to your leadership. The great "Billikan" = one the most loyal, diehard fans of Billiken basketball out there. It is so cool having one of our billikens.com own as head of the Board! And ps: thanks to ACE for re-posting that fraught and largely idiotic "tussle" about the rehiring of Coach Crews. If you take the time to read through that dreck, you will notice many a blowhard, telling us all of their supposed insider info about Crews not being retained. Very, very funny stuff, that is. It is way more than a tussle between 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is way more than a tussle between 2. I agree Doc B. Sure not many boards can claim a Board Chair as an ex poster. We had a true insider, albeit probably a lot more guarded than he wanted to be or could be, and kicked him to the curb. I read some of that old thread and noted that he did resurface under his new moniker Billikenswim for one post. I know I had my differences with Billikan during the Sodie years and still think he was an awful hire, so his insider status doesn't change my thinking there. But the best thing about this for Bills fans and students alike, we have a true Billiken BB booster who's all in on the program. Sure he'll have his tussles, but hey, he's a big time lawyer, so he should be able to convince eskimos that an ice cube is really the clear version of hot sauce.
