Hopefully, this link works. This is a must watch. Someone going to the press conference needs to ask Coach Ford if he's going to recreate any music videos with our team.

Chances we could get him to do a remake of T. Liddell's "For My People" video?

The offer was given to Ford BEFORE the Valpo NIT game on Tuesday. So you can speculate on what that means.

Chris May used his contacts in the Big 12 from his previous gig at Colorado to dig deep into Travis Ford the coach and person. We should have factored those connections into all the speculation.

Per Stu, he believes it is a 5 year contract, probably in the $10M neighborhood, but with the OSU dollars factored in. So the contract would be back loaded for SLU.

The best thing about Ford: he's not from Indiana.

He said he wanted SLU to be the destination for top recruits from "St. Louis, Kansas City, the rest of Missouri, Illinois, and Kansas" - and never mentioned Indiana.

Surprised he didn't mention western Kentucky, where he's from and where he grew up a Cardinal fan. We're closer to them than we are to any part of Kansas.
