I'll take any fans we can get at this point... Agreed, that's why we need to come out of the gate running at full steam. We need a few warm-ups (buy games) (yes even our favorite opponent, Rockhurst) to get used to playing with all the new teammates and in the Ford system. We have some tough games fairly early, Seton Hall away and Butler on 12/1 and hopefully not Houston (away) in November. If we can get our act together early and be ready for these games, especially if Gordon is a factor from the beginning, we will start to build a following and start to draw more than 5000 to the Fetz. Hopefully the season is like a ball rolling downhill, gathering steam as it goes. I was pumped (pre S2) last year, but nowhere near as much as this year! Edit: I just noticed that the Houston game is in mid-December. I'm glad it's not in November, I don't know if we would be ready for them early in the year.

Butler has quite a few grads and student's parents here and their fans travel well, much like SVU edit; Sorry to have gotten off the original topic.

Old guy Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 He may have lasted a month or so in his new job at Houston, so he came back to the PD. The big surprise is that they took him back. Who are the clowns in this story line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billiken Rich Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 He's a d-bag who should be blogging for scraps in the basement of his mother's double-wide* That he is or even was employed by the post is a symbol of just how far that Barbie-sized rag has fallen. *I know that most mobile homes are not set on foundations.....

Old guy Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 No basements in mobile homes but they do have crawlspaces between the bottom of the unit and the ground. Nasty places those crawlspaces. Ironbills likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nasty places those crawlspaces. this isnt necessarily true. to get long term financing for manufactured homes it is required that they be attached to a permanent foundation and all the undercarriage be removed. most permanent foundations will be basement foundations as the difference in cost is not all that much in the big picture. now if the resident doesnt own the land concerned then you are correct in your statement in all cases. but if they resident does own the land and wants a long term fixed rate financing option there will be foundation that the manufactured home is permanently attached to.

Take a drive to my neck of the woods, Jefferson County, and you will find plenty of mobile homes on foundations. Ortiz and the PD a perfect match that could not live without each other. The PD can get back to fair and honest commentary again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see, we have French, Santos and Foreman with a combined 6, yes six years of D-1experience and Gordon who is rated as a top F/C in the incoming class of Bigs. It's one thing to state an opinion that Porter and Tillmon are both good returning Bigs, but don't try to sell the fact that they have more experience than the SLU Bigs, with that being the reason SPUMAC would win. Then he goes on to somewhat concede that the SLU guards are better, so basically he is just giving the biased opinion of a SPUMAC grad. Hey Ben, why don't you work on your school to play SLU-no wait, I don't want to hurt our strength of schedule by playing the boys from Columbia. One further question Ben, how much experience did Tillmon get sitting on the bench with foul trouble most games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
