MusicCityBilliken Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 To help with my anxiety, is everyone here other then Thor? I believe Thor now working out with the Iceland Nat Team and will be showing up when the Fall Semester starts. Are we sure Demarious is good to go? I do see him on the official roster.

I would have thought what the school puts on its official website would be official. But I still question about Demarious, is he eligible? Anyone see him in a summer school class?

Pistol Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 It's Demarius. His own Twitter is probably the most reliable source. SLU's official site needs to be updated. A lot of other info is missing, so it's clearly 'in progress' but I still don't excuse the error of getting your own player's name wrong. I'm guessing that between DJ saying he was on campus and Stu's tweet saying that DJ was expected to clear but the timing wasn't certain, that he is indeed eligible. The timing lines up with the score announcement timing from the ACT, too. So we don't have official word that he's qualified and cleared, but piecing things together, it sure looks positive to me.

Just one question, this will get the abbreviation sticklers going, I thought Foreman was called DJ ? Billiken Roy, please do NOT read this message!!! I think DJ should belong to Jacobs since that is his initials. Foreman should be DF or if you are hung up on him being DJ for some of us last year then go with DJF. Or if you are a BR follower you can spell out Jacobs and Foreman everytime you want to refer to them. The other player who has a couple of possibilities is our guy from way up North. He could be IG or Thor, which some of us have gotten used to using. For me, either works but if Roy wants to spell his entire last name out everytime he refers to him than more power to BR!

Roy, I respect the players as much as you do and that respect is not negated by using a shorthand method of referring to them. I also respect you as a rabid Billiken fan, but I believe your long-standing crusade against the use of initials is much ado about nothing. You are certainly free to refer to the players any way you choose as are all the rest of us. I seriously doubt that any Board posters are being disrespectful to players when they identify them through initials, nor do I think any players who might read this Board would take the use of initials as a sign of disrespect toward them. wgstl and Littlebill like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
