Cowboy Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 1 minute ago, bauman said: I love how he states, his opinion that SPUMAC would win due to the experience of their two bigs, One of whom is a thin player the age of Freshmen with both of them having ONE year of experience-wow, that is some experience advantage. 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? -post this where it matters, multiple puns intended philliken likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billiken Rich Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Tillmon and Porter would be pecker slapped by our bigs and Goodwin by himself is better than their guards...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, he tells us the scumbags to the west would win. https://www.stltoday.com/sports/columns/ben-frederickson/quick-hits-benfred-on-stl-sports/collection_ad924ea6-7fa5-5dd0-8b44-bad6f8de9e7f.html What a garbage argument. “Well, they would win because they have more experience.” Does Ben have his head so far up Mizzery’s arse that he doesn’t realize we have Santos and Foreman with more combined frontcourt experience than Tillman and Porter? Not to mention Isabel and Bess who might be our leading scorers, along with Goodwin. Hell, I haven’t even mentioned Carteare Gordon. No one on Mizzou’s current squad could likely hold Carteare’s jock Strap. Some things never change... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to say...whoever this Anita Mueller is, I want to sit next to her at a game!!! Also, Tillmon would foul out by the 2nd TV timeout of the first half.

Again our only D-1 team in the 2 major NCAA team sports (this side of the river now). Some blame of course goes to program and it's historically mediocre history. A river dividing land should be the criteria used in saying SLU is the only D1 team in the St. Louis metro area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billikenfan05 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Caught the tail end of KMOX talking about a potential SLU UMC game this morning. Chris May and Dave Matter both had soundbites. Matter said that Cuonzo is very open to the idea. Of course Davey the Tiger mentioned only Enterprise or Columbia as places for the game to be played...

Chaifetz or nothing if the game is in STL. Unless there’s no return to Columbia. Nobody wins at the ‘Fetz.

SShoe Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I know we'd be giving them an inch here, but I'd be cool with a 4 game series - 1 in Columbia, 1 at the Fetz, 1 at Enterprise, 1 at Sprint Center (KC) College basketball needs teams to play these types of regional games to generate buzz. While I'm happy we got Pitt and Oregon State on the schedule, a game vs. Mizzou or Illinois would be much more fun.

I see a lot of people say this and I think it’s ridiculous. This would be a great series and a lot of fun. Getting another power 5 school on the schedule would be great. Are Mizzou and their fans arrogant A-Holes? You bet they are and they just adds to the entertainment value. Game day excitement level for this game would be off the charts. I think it’s silly to not want this game out of spite. Billiken Rich likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
