BilliKat Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Aww. I’m late to respond here but nothing better than a father taking their kiddo to a billiken game my dad and I still do- and, yes I’m biased, but he is The GOAT! happy belated Father’s Day guys! I believe good dads are essential for making the world a better place- so keep up the good work Coach314, rgbilliken and SLUMedBilliken15 like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing it would be very high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billiken_roy Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 my parents and grandparents never even went to college and had no idea of any degree of success or quality of saint louis university. they were all just thrilled i was going to college. i am the beginning of a slu chain in my family. my wife (a year younger than me) went to slu. my son went to slu. both of my grandchildren tell everyone they will be billikens (i oversold this. my daughter-in-law works at wash u and as long as she is employed and her kids can qualify for wash u (they are both extremely smart i am betting they will be wash u material) her kids get free tuition at wash u.) now i cant convince them there might be a better college than saint louis university.

Went to games at 3 months old. Dad will be a 50 year season ticket holder this season. My grandfather took my father to games starting when he was 3 in the 53-54 season.

Roy, if they can get free tuition they should go there and stay there for as long as the free tuition holds. Student loans are a terrible load on young people starting their careers.
