How are we allowing this? Why are we allowing this? I know they are both alums but Rammer and Earl are really a brand for SLU Athletics. Now they do games for another college 30 miles away??? Is this just a one season thing? Can't see any circumstance where the optics on this are good for Billiken Athletics. The only spinzone I could come up with, while spinning on my bike coincidentally, is that Billiken Athletics gracefully allowed two esteemed Lindenwood alums call the home games for the inaugural D1 Basketball season.

Pistol Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 There are a number dates in conflict: 11/7 at Dayton 11/19-11/20 at the McNeese Tournament 11/23 vs. Idaho State 11/30 vs. East-West 12/3 at Kansas City 12/17 vs. Knox 12/31 vs. Tennessee Tech 1/14 at SIUE 1/21 vs. Morehead State 2/18 at Morehead State 2/25 vs. Little Rock And then the SLU-Dayton game at SLU is during the OVC Tournament, which is in Evansville. So that's 6 home games - assuming they wouldn't make a few short trips for those road games. It's not just dates, but most of the times are in conflict, too. I wonder how they're going to pull this off. NextYearBill likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Bob Ramsey and Earl Austin Jr. will lead the broadcast team for games in St. Charles, Mo." NextYearBill likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Pelican Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 The article mentioned Zach Zook who will do play by play for the "majority" of the basketball games. There is another person listed for color. I suspect our radio team will not miss any Bill's games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 The Ramsey and Earl thing doesn't bother me for some reason. The weirdest thing in that announcement was just the random drop that Keno Davis would be doing color on some games. Is Keno Davis living in the area now?

willie Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Since I am at the game or watching on some form of TV for the away games I don't care. AlumniFan likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prior to that, the announcement made it seem like Rammer and Earl were switching over. This statement shows the true situation which is that our two guys will probably only do Lindenwood games when there is zero conflict with the Billikens. rgbilliken likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taj79 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 I don't listen to our team given the fact most of what I see is on ESPN+ and the other networks. If I don't like the broadcasters, I turn the sound off. Too lazy to search otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetorch Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 We have one of the best announcing teams in any sport in the country with Rammer & Earl. Our games are mostly broadcast on the mighty KMOX, that at night can be heard in nearly 30 states, and the audacy app which is free and easily accesible. I sync up their broadcast to the game and I'm set. If you aren't listening then you are missing out on a huge part of the Billiken experience.
