CBFan Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 One thing that is missing from our threads is appreciation for us. I am guilty of going on the apology threads and have loved the appreciation threads for others and it is merited for those folks like Coach Ford, and Dr. Chaifetz. Now it is time for all of us including folks that had their doubts and some that gave up to be honored for what we all bring to the program. The program does not go out and get a coach Ford or Majerus without us and doesn't build a great on campus arena for fans to watch the team we love. Thank you to all of the fans that showed up at Brooklyn to cheer our team on to the NCAA tournament. Thank you to all of the fans heading to California to cheer on the Billikens. Thank you to all of the fans that travel with the team during the regular season. Thank you to all of the season ticket holders and more important those fans that show up every game. Thank you to all of the fans that support the Billikens from other states and off shore oil rigs. Thanks to all of the single game ticket folks that show up and more important companies that distribute free tickets. Thanks to Steve Rogers and all posters of Billikens.com that love their team and show it by posting all year. Thanks to all of the posters that provide recruiting information, coaches show summaries and inside information.

"He is Ed Macauley, who once again proved himself to be the best center in the country, in spite of being so thin that the 175 pounds spread along his 6-foot-8-inch frame make him look like a star patient for a Saranac sanitarium." I read it in my head like an old-timey radio announcer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slu let the dogs out? Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Anyone else go out and stock up on SLU gear after the game? Bought a new Columbia golf polo, some basketball shorts, and a new license plate cover. Of course, I've had my Billikens flag hanging from my front porch since November....

Definitely do it. Also, do you have numbers for how traffic on here picked up over the course of the tournament? Would be interesting to see how it gained, especially after Saturday if it did.

There were more page views for that than for yesterday! Pretty much. Something to consider is that if someone is looking for information about SLU in the tournament, many places will provide this information. But with Gordon's tweets, pretty much the only place to really get news about it was here... In another example, a top 5 all-time traffic day was when SLU was competing with a recruit who ended up going to Kentucky (I think it was a transfer, forget his name). The Kentucky Board just swarmed over here for any information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you have to consider all the SLU-hating Mizzou fans coming on to gloat, but they weren't coming yesterday because their team's season is over and they weren't interested in being here yesterday trying to concoct some specious reasoning to explain their undying delusion of being the self-entitled "only 'major' program in the state."

Graph is not cut off. But for comparison here is a similar graph for 2012 - 2013 season (but going through all of March).
