He's local and knows as much about SLU as he is ever going to know. He is good, but not great. There are many more out there like him. As for as Power 5 offers, isn't the lowly Iowa program his best offer? (I'm not certain about that) If it is and he wants to disappear in Iowa City Iowa (Idiots out wandeing around) more power to him. If I was TF, I'd tell him to commit or I'm moving on. Goodwin, Thatch and Jacobs have us covered at the Guard spots the next few years and I'd put on a full court press for Love next year as the next big STL recruit and star.

Surely you don't believe you're going to change the (Billiken board) world by announcing to everyone who uses initials, "I was with you 'til..."! If you wish to stop reading a post, fine. But making a useless post complaining about it just clogs up the board. Can't you be like the rest of us who don't use initials but still know how to figure out what is being written by those who do? It only adds a couple of seconds of total reading comprehension time to a moderately long post. You could at least be a bit more clever.

thetorch Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I thought it was clever. Do we really need to abbreviate the coach's name? It's 4 letters and 3 of them are right next to each other on the keyboard. I can type ford faster than I can type TF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that I don't think it adds anything to the forum for people to harp on it. And the more people harp on it, the more certain people will go to using initials full time to thumb their noses at those who complain about it.

I like you too much to do that. I said stop being one, which is what your childish, immature crusade about nothing comes across as. Do you really think using the coaches initials is disrespectful to him. Come on, get real.

WVBilliken Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 FDR, JFK, LBJ ..... Seems to be known by your initials is a real compliment. Can't wait to see JB, DJF, TI, DW, LS, JG, HF, EW, CAG, FT, DJ, IG, and KCH play for Coach Travis Ford and Staff. My preference is initials for players and coaches by name. But either way works, not an issue for me. Okay either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
