Call me Holden Caulfield, but that gladhanding bull**** bothers me. if you dont like a glad handing overly friendly AD, you dont understand division one college sports. you gotta be able to make it rain and you never know what booster has or will win the lottery next. Chris May is the overall best AD SLU has had in my Billiken fandom. HenryB, AlumniFan and AGB91 like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's never been a jackass to me, my family, or anyone Else I know. Actually, I don't think you can be a successful Gladhander and jackazz at the same time.

SLUMS81 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I have no inside knowledge, but I will bet that Chris May has a finite budget and has to operate within whatever agenda his boss(es) decide to give him. billiken_roy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 How does my like or dislike of a person affect their obvious, internal agenda? Didn't know that's how it all worked. Let's remember when we first met and the very first sentence you used before the initial handshake was concluded. In reality and on the grander scale, your existence, opinions and persona are inconsequential at best. But hey ----- Happy New Year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufan13 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 May can be the best AD we've ever had and 05/others can be accurate in their thoughts. In fact, I think that is definitely the case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoon-Balls Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Perry would put on a masterclass for that solo. Although I’ll bet even if Austin wanted to play that song at tip it would get shut down by the AD. Sounds like there wasn’t much autonomy anymore in choosing which music they could actually play at various points in the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dude can play anything and looks cool as hell doing it. Yes, this has been part of the tension the past few years. More and more of the gameday has been scripted as the years have gone on. The band used to be able to reactively play situationally appropriate music depending on what happened in the game. Now it's Final Countdown at the under 4 Every. Fouking. Game.

For the game against George Mason Wednesday starting at 11am, there was just a DJ, but that looked to be a planned thing due to the start time.

If you want to get 7500 kids to make as much noise as possible, a DJ and Dre combined can make that happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, alums and students alike can't really swing the Education Day game, so what BF05 said was accurate and planned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgeldmacher Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 When I was at the Davidson game, I noticed that their band was 100% student run. Only students in the band and it was also run by students, no alumni or paid director to be found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeSmetBilliken Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I don’t know anything about pep band turnout in the arena tonight, but I’ve heard that there’s a pretty good band that has started to play before games at Humphrey’s. Great blend of instruments. Exciting stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
