Yes.

Which makes all the sense in the world to do it.

Only if you want to piss off a big part of our season ticket holders.  Can we move on from this issue and get back to Billiken BB?

I don't think it would piss anyone off if you gave SLU students blue Straight Out of Compton Ave   Tshirts. I just don't think most fans will connect with it. That said, it's 2017 and that reference just isn't current anymore.

I had this "Straight Outta Compton" idea back in December 2013 (which was over a year before the film came out in August 2015):

Granted my lyrics for the song sucked and I didn't advocate printing up T-shirts, but still...too late now.

"genius basketball mind named Jim Crews"

You should have to serve a suspension from this site for that language

In my defense, this was December 2013.  The team was 8 - 2  (losses to Wisconsin & Wichita State) and in the very early stages of a historic 19 game win streak.  Crews was coming off a coach of the year award for guiding the team to the NCAAs the previous season in the wake of Majerus' passing.  I was getting psyched up for a big game against Wofford that day,  so I was not thinking clearly (nor did I have the hindsight of Crews orchestrating the largest free fall into mediocrity our program had seen).  I wanted to try to rhyme Crew(s) with Lou and what was I supposed to say "future program killer named Jim Crews".

Even so - I probably deserve a suspension - see you guys in the fall.

I'll leave you with these updated lyrics:

Straight down on Compton, superstar coach named T Ford

Bringing so much talent, he's loved on the Bills.com board
