bauman Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 The Billikens go on a incredible run in the A-10 tournament winning 4 in a row to make the Tournament AND the Blues win the Stanley Cup for the first time ever! This has to top any other year for STL natives/sports fans. billiken_roy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBFan Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 It is a good start of being one but could improve by 2 GT signings, Cardinals in the playoffs and early signings of Bradford and Kasubke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billikens win Conference USA tourney I'm sure Mizzou probably did something OK that year, but who cares. Littlebill likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was also when STL was coming off the 1998 McGwire-Sosa HR race and flying high, and the Rams and Blues were both peaking (at least in the regular season, for the latter). The Sporting News named us the best sports city in the US around that time, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Cards could make a run, having both a Stanley Cup and World Series in the same year would be impossible to top - unless you had another big win/event on top of our two high-level pro titles.

Thank you for reminding me about the MLS team that would be the cherry on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

October 2011- Cards win World Series March/April 2012- Blues won the old Central Division that year and won a playoff series against San Jose. March 2012- Bills returned to the dance, beat Memphis in the first round, and took Draymond Green and Michigan St. down to the final minute in the second round.

Should have won that game. Draymonds non-called flagrant on Ellis looks even more flagranty knowing what we know about how dirty Draymond is.
