After all, they did get a "quality" win over the last place team in the SEC, and the teams they've beaten have a combined record of 6-16. Richmond has played 4 teams in Pomeroy's top 150, 3 in the top 100 and two in the top 50. The Billikens have played one team in Pomeroy's top 225. The who they played argument doesn't work for us.

This might be the only way any of us can see the Bills live this year. Another game against a good opponent can’t hurt. Make it happen. Was about 150 people in the arena Saturday. Was all family of the players and coaches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taj79 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Seems to me there is a lot more opportunities for East Coast schools to find opponents due to available picking. But then Rhode Island flies to Madison for a game against Whisky. Morgantoen is about a 5 hour bus ride for Richmond but both Wofford and Morehead State cam to Richmond and those are longer trips. The best folks in our area are Mizzou, Illinois, Memphis and Arkansas. That seems a tall order. Northern Iowa going to Richmond is insane much like Rhodey to Wisconsin. Are we travel-averse? We go to La Salle in 23 days. THAT ain't no school bus run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a quite a maneuver to elevate Clemson from 7 votes to 156 votes based on two wins against middle of the pack P5 teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had Illinois won the coin toss, Illinois regulations would've allowed only the players' families to attend. Mizzou agreed to do the same when they won the toss, despite the fact that Missourah regulations are not as stringent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slu72 fan Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Just heard that Sam Houston State was getting $55,000 for their buy game vs. LSU. Announcer said normally would be $85-100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I’d rather play Arkansas. No reason to play Redneck, Boone County, Missourah anymore. UCLA and Kentucky rolled into one in their own brains. TJHawk likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Announcer said normally would be $85-100. I suspect that this is more than blood donors would get by playing at SLU. Based on the SEC football attendance rules, I bet LSU can allow a few thousand fans to attend their games which translates into quite a few thousand dollars toward a "buy game payout."

TJHawk Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 The eye ball test says that SLU might be a top 10 team. The competition might not be great but they smash teams like a top 10 team.
