I'm officially apologizing for defending him I said that I didn't think he was a troll but he sure sounded like he was pushing this rumor and the idea thus being really a Vols fan before a Billiken one. Maybe his wife put the screws to him who knows. These two posts of his are very telling. I won't ignore him but I have no interest anything he says now but of course maybe I am just living the dream.

Fraz Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 2 hours ago, Littlebill said: I've officially been on both sides of this now. My newborn was up for a couple hours last night, so I spent it on the Vols boards like any normal human being would. It seems like there is some real smoke there just because there are some who are really sure of it, but I know that rumors can spread like wildfire on a board and through a fanbase that don't necessarily carry any value. I haven't been deep in the opposing message board world in a few years (I have hobbies outdoors, unlike some of these guys apparently), so I'm not sure how valid anything is anymore. I guess it just depends - does he want to play on a top 20 team in his hometown with the players to make a run, or underwhelm expectations and lose on the first weekend like Tennessee always seems to do? Also, looking it up - since 2012 (yes I cherrypicked a year, but based on how UT fans are speaking about us, it shouldn't matter as their program is so much bigger and better, just ask them) SLU tournament berths: 4 Tennessee tournament berths: 5 Just thought this was interesting is all This is what paternity leave is for right?

brianstl Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I think Schasz is taking a little too much heat for saying he had higher expectations for Travis Ford so far. Other than that he just believes the rumors and is getting crucified for sharing them on here. I am not buying the rumors, but I am glad he shared them here.

Two of the posters were making bets on how many Points/Assists he was going to average for them next season. And when someone else brought up the fact that our fans don't think that he's going anywhere, it was "wishful thinking." They’re even worse in football. I’m so glad they haven’t won since 1998.

Context matters, and it is hard to read Schasz’s posts on there without thinking he/she views SLU as a side show at best. Just look at the language used. And I am someone who has been disappointed by Ford’s results on the court. RiseOfTheBillikens and SLUMedBilliken15 like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think barring some major injuries we should, but I get where he is coming from. I could see how people could read it as never a top program, but I don't think that is what he was trying to say.

Do u think Yurimania’s leaving for the NBA or going into the portal? Everyone seems convinced he’ll be staying. My angst comment was directed at all the hub bub being made about where Shaszh’s true allegiance lies, to SLU or UT? Why should we care, unless he’s being subjected to spousal abuse?

AnkielBreakers Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Did anyone figure out why Yuri did not play against UNI? He looked pretty much healthy in the bench. Outside of that weird deal, I do not see anything that suggests he would leave. Nesbitt was the person that clearly annoyed him the most, and is gone. If TJ left, I could see that affecting Yuri, because they seem close. He gets along with everyone else. Otherwise, he is a hometown hero, and the team lead. How does it get any better than that?

I believe he was in pain during the A10 tournament. I don't think it was fractured yet but playing in the NIT would have risked exacerbating the issue potentially leading to a fracture, surgery and a long recovery period.

wgstl Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Im being too paranoid now, but I would think Yuri would be up front to Ford about this, and if theres anything to it, ford would be offering PG's right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per Tate, Yuri didn't play because MRI results were not back prior to UNI game. SLUMedBilliken15 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
