Check again.  You are wrong.  # 247 and #272.  Both wins.

The statement was "You can’t play sub 200 net road games".  We did. 

Are you checking the current rankings of these teams or the rankings at the time we played them?

It reeks of cowardice.

And I hope LU football can fill the void left behind by the Rams.

 

Why would ever want to play a road game against a team that is not good - what is to gain from that.  We struggle upgrading our schedule every year and you want to put another stinker on it - makes no sense.  The Missouri issue is that they are not dodging us because we are a bad team but because they are afraid of losing.

Crews liked to do it, 2013 @ SIUE, 2014 @ Indiana St., 2015 @ SIUE, which supports your point.

The Hyland Center is pretty small. Right there with Fordham and LaSalle. But given LU’s ambitious nature I wouldn’t be shocked if an expansion or new build comes before too long. At least if the football team’s revenues grow.

I think we should go there to open up them going D-1. They suck so we won't lose. It will be a very tough ticket and the atmosphere would be exciting. No travel involved. It will get a ton of local publicity.

SLU gets half the tickets and keeps the revenue. Lindenwood also agrees to come to SLU next year and waive the buy game fee. We save some cash, build the brand and extend some goodwill along the way. Thoughts?

I enjoyed going to Edwardsville for a road game 35 minutes all interstate to see a "road' game. Would likely enjoy trip to St Charles as well :)

Didn't Crews schedule a away game with SIUE because Jon Harris (the SIUE coach at the time) was his good friend and it was just done to help him with his program.

An aberration.

my recollection is crews was failing getting games and was desparate.   crewsplatt was a disaster.   he was the worst coach in billiken history.  even surpassed those dark days in the early 80's with ekker.   sadly i have had to suffer through both.   no fan should have to endure that.

No. Why would we want to help prop up a local D1 program?

If we ever feel threatened by the presence of Lindenwood, we should shut down the program.

Lindenwood's capacity is greater than these semi-recognized basketball programs 

Fordham, UNC Ashville, Radford, Pepperdine, Iona. 

 

Also wouldn't Lindenwood just play at St Charles family arena need be? its 6 minutes away.

 

ALSO Lindenwood will build onto the football stadium before they even worry about anything basketball.

also also, any folks on here live in St Charles? If so, do you know anyone in St Charles who is also a bills fan?  

 

Not that I ever think Lindenwood will take off this way but, seems St Charles people are mainly mizzou fans.

I live 5 minutes from the campus.  Took my boys to their game last night.  It is a fun atmosphere for kids.

I hate Mizzou to a degree matched only by @billiken_roy. I also think Mizzou's decision not to play SLU is smart for a variety of somewhat obvious reasons. Does it frustrate me? Yes. 

I don’t want to debate it, but I think that is a zero sum approach to a business. Is competition dangerous. Yes. However, if SLU avoids it, it runs the risk of reduced growth. Either approach works, but I choose the higher risk, higher reward approach.

Yes, many. If lindenwood puts a good product on the floor slu likely will lose some fans

Let me correct my statement you can't play any sub 200 net non conference road games.
