The Bills over Tulane by 5

[moytoy12]

So Fred has some mystery illness, but what’s the story on Hankton’s injury?

[slufan13]

Is this game really not going to be televised at all? When's the last time we have had a game with no streaming options at all?

If anyone is in Dayton for a game or whatever, hit me up. It’s a good place to be and id be happy to show you around, recommend restaurants or bars or anything else you are interested in. 
and @billikenroy, my wife and in-laws both are civil servants. Echoing the sentiment of previous posters, they work super hard and get paid half of what they would in the public sector. My wife is in charge of a program to help females in the Air Force actually be able to function in their roles. Did you know that in 2019, while more women are enlisted, they wear the same body armor in combat as their male counterparts? A 110 lb women swimming in an armored vest designed for a 250+ lb man? This is one of the myriad of issues that she is trying to resolve for these airmen. Btw she has a SLU science degree and an MBA, and is doing her best to perform her civic duty.  I thank her for this, and you should as well. 
I know it is the talking point of the day to bring these people down in order to accomplish a wider political agenda. Please use your SLU education that taught us to be critical of dangerous views that damage other people in order to gain a personal advantage. And please leave these insults of my family off the Billikens board. 

Just stop, Roy didn’t insult your family, he pointed out that there are abuses with some of our government employees, which is 100% accurate. Government waste and mismanagement is universally recognized. I’m sure most government employees are hard working and people of integrity, but not all. It’s sad that some of our so called “esteemed” posters find it necessary to PERSONALLY disparage a long standing Billiken supporter, because he had a different view than theirs.

That said, let’s leave the political commentary off this board....

2 teams fly halfway across the country to play a neutral court game that's not on TV and is part of the undercard for Jerry Fallwell U?

Keep checking ESPN+. Nada.

Is anyone going to the game?  I live in Tempe so I'll be there.  Daughter is an alum & we're excited to be able to see the team.  Even when she was at SLU, we never got to a basketball game.  She played softball, and their home season never seemed to overlap with the basketball schedule.  Go Bills!

Certain MBM's need to deal with this.....preferably in silence.

Teamrankings just published the Vegas inspired scores for tomorrow's game, as follows: SLU 69.2, Tulane 64.2. SLU is favored to win by 5. They give a confidence level for SLU's predicted win of 2 stars which is not high, meaning that Tulane does have a chance of winning.

Here's hoping Tulane goes on to win the AAC tourney and a bid in the NCAA. Here's also hoping the Billikens kick their arse tomorrow. With KSU and Auburn lurking now is not the time to have a swoon.

The whole point of the message board is to discuss the Billikens.  I don’t get telling posters to stay silent on an obvious discussion topic about the team.  It’s okay to disagree with the coach.  I love Ford, but still can question things he does.

Thankfully being picked up by ESPN+

[almaman]

fcn a.   great news

[billikenfan05]

This was all Chris May. Well done. 

[almaman]

May be historic we hope last game to have to be added. All games should be on from here into the future. jeez almost 2020. assumed we'd be watching in  omnimax goggles by now.

[wgstl]

God bless. I made a commitment for work because I thought there was no chance of this happening.

Interesting that Thatch's problem relates to chronic cramps, I recall he sat out much of Billiken madness supposedly due to cramps. Hankton is also a mystery, wonder if it's whatever he had last year.

I will, but after the game.  An alum in Scottsdale held a reception at their home tonight - Chris May was the featured guest (we were unable to attend).  So there should be a few more SLU fans at the game.  Glad to see it will be streamed.  Look for our little cheering section! 

[Old guy]

OK ladies and gents, play time is coming within a few hours. It is time to think positively, WE CAN WIN THIS GAME, is the mantra to be used in our quest for positivity. Go Bills! May the Force be with you today!

Hankton was practicing yesterday so hopefully he’s not far away from playing.

Hopeful to get this thread back on track.......

If Fred has been out this long with an "illness," I'm wondering if he has mono. The chance of rupturing your spleen is pretty high after contracting mononucleosis, so he'd have to be out for 4-6 weeks if that's the case. 

[RiseAndGrind]

 

Unreasonably excited for this game.

Chronic cramping (electrolyte imbalance) doesn't appear to be one of the symptoms of mono, so it's more likely some other ailment.
