We have the most unique mascot in all of college sports but constantly plaster the lamest most uninspired tag line in the history of sports. Same energy....

Same energy.... I get what you're saying, but Team Blue works pretty well IMO - not because it's terribly original, but because it's constantly and consistently reinforced. It's a brand now.

It's a brand now. Fair point. I actively hate it, but if it helps bond the team and bring us a deep NCAA run. I'll shut the fuok up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheChosenOne Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Team Blue is just so damn generic. Are fans supposed to refer to the squad as Team Blue? billikenfan05 and thetorch like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLIKNS Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Really like this hire, bringing Will back ... looks good that he wanted to return. Recruiting wise he has ties in several areas.. I just keep seeing Rob Loe yelling Let's Go ! ( think that could have been in the UMass game to win the conference or maybe N.C. State) slubillikens43 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easier for the yunginz and casual fan to get behind that then the Billikens as much as people might not like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it’s for fans as much as it’s for teammates. Students, student athletes, alumni, faculty, are all Billikens. The basketball team is Team Blue. A smaller subset within the Billiken community. I think it’s to promote a family environment amongst the players. I think it’s kind of boring but whatever. cgeldmacher, bauman and SLUMedBilliken15 like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure why we are questioning the logic of the best recruiter in school history. But sure, you guys probably know what you are talking about.

Maybe you answered your own question by needing to refer to him as the best recruiter instead of something more meaningful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His base salary paid by SLU had to be under $150,000 because it is not listed on the 990. His base salary paid by South Carolina was $241,000.
