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?

cheeseman Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 4 hours ago, Brighton said: 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crews liked to do it, 2013 @ SIUE, 2014 @ Indiana St., 2015 @ SIUE, which supports your point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARon Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 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.

DOC Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 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.

An aberration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

wgstl Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 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.

wgstl Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
