Popular Post ACE Posted December 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2021 35 minutes ago, CBFan said: Respectfully Ace you are a good poster but for conservatives like myself that try to enjoy just basketball that was not a good post. Happy Friday CBFan, enjoy your posts as well, but frankly I'm surprised at the response to a very mild jab taken at that place. it's not like I had the audacity to take a shot at Jerry Falwell Jr. I had no idea so many folks on a SLU message board felt so passionately about Liberty University. With the amount of hypocrisy and corruption there, not sure why anyone would want to defend that place regardless of your political affiliation. For example, there are quality conservative schools like Wheaton College that I wouldn't take shots at. And regarding keeping things you deem "political" off this board, if you are going to go down that road, be consistent. If you truly believe that, call it out when it is going the other direction too. We've seen plenty anti-political talk crusaders on this board go silent when there are political posts that align with their view. Happy Friday to you as well!

Aquinas Posted December 3, 2021 Author Share Posted December 3, 2021 Mizzou fell to 150 in Sagarin, last in the SEC. They are going to get killed in the SEC this season. I have to agree that we benefit from Martin staying there. He has a crazy record at Mizzou. On one hand, 2 ncaa appearances in four seasons. On the other hand, 2 going on 3 losing seasons and this is shaping up to be the worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Criticisms of Liberty aren't shots at anyone's politics. We've talked about the place here before. Rampant corruption in the family that runs (ran?) it, an online diploma mill used to fund capital projects, and currently a brutal story based on a long-term investigation about sexual assault reports being silenced and punished. If simply calling it a "school" feels like a shot at your politics or beliefs, it might be time for a little self-reflection. FWIW, I like when power conference schools go on the road and play these games. As SLU fans, we all should. Big schools refusing to do so is a loser's mentality that makes the sport less compelling. But I personally wouldn't want anything to do with this particular institution.

Lol...the guy who always claims to have me on ignore is always the first to respond. You make no secret of your disdain for evangelical Christians and, frankly, many find it offensive. Give me the list of universities that have had no incidents of scandal...no corruption, no hypocrisy, no sexual immorality. I am waiting. You condemn an entire university and ignore the incredible contributions of their tens of thousands of graduates. I want to discuss basketball, not your leftwing politics.

Weird not least because I don't think anyone from Liberty would really stick up for any of us. I went to grad school with a girl from an evangelical school and not kidding was told they were "surprised I wasn't satanic" because that's what a lot of hardcore evangelicals are taught about Catholics. not all of them, but many are taught some off the wall things about catholics, especially Jesuits, from a young age at church.

Religion does not equal politics. If you or anyone else think they are the same thing, you need to reevaluate the core tenants of whatever religion you follow. People like Jerry Falwell Jr. are a disgrace to the Christian faith. Calling that out is pro-Christianity, not anti-Christianity. hmart23 and RUBillsFan like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Catholic Church was rightly condemned for failing to take appropriate action against known child abusers. 2. The Falwell family were in charge of Liberty from Day 1. It is fair to criticize the school and the family. People are not criticizing some other school with zero affiliation with the Falwell’s or Liberty.

BLIKNS Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 So if mizzou were to move on from Couzo, would they look at a former player, who went on to play at Kentucky, so knows about the SEC, and has recruiting ties to St. Louis??? Who knows if they would even be interested, seem to have it pretty good where they are now I'm not sayin', just sayin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny I never see the level of venom directed towards secular universities. And finally, Pistol as a defender of the Christian faith?

CBFan Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 On Tiger board they are posting Greg Marshall or Slick Rick Patino. Marshall seems like a viable option but Patino is not going to live in Columbia Mo. They want Martin out now. Reinert310 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgeldmacher Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I still think there are many at Mizzou that think of Ford as a traitor for leaving to go to Kentucky in his playing days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My in-laws are from Wichita and while they liked his results on the court he was NOT well-liked in the community and most were glad to see him go (according to them). No matter his results I wouldn't want Marshall within 10 feet of any of our guys after him putting his hands on a coach and players at WSU.

MU is trending toward a dead fv<king last finish in the SEC this season and Ford has a job where he tells the AD what to do and when to get it done, runs the program as he sees fit and doesn't have to compete with football. Why would he come to work for a hyphenated last name in a giant albatross of a gym where football runs the show? He's been at that school, OSU, and it sucked.

brianstl Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I don’t think there is any chance Mizzou’s AD hires Pitino or Marshsall. That isn’t going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is an interesting take on Marshall with the in-laws. I wondered why Marshall was cut loose and know I know more about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennis_w Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 i have no knowledge of coach ford's career aspirations, but he has a sweet gig now, doesnt have to leave town to recruit for the most part and isnt going to get fired if he has a .500 season. have a couple of ordinary seasons in the p5 you are canned billiken_roy, willie, CBFan and 2 others like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
