brianstl Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 I would have expected the roll out to have something like Dayton 6th where a person could go to a website, click on a button and make donation. I hope they develop something soon and not sure why it isn't set up now. https://dayton6th.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's demonstrated that no matter what talent he has he doesn't get results. If I thought it would make a difference I'd be on board. You're right, people are just lounging all over him. Propping their feet up on him. Just no respect rgbilliken and thetorch like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLU is a middling team in a low mid-major, a one bid conference. A conference where they are treated like a red-headed step child, a conference that has either the worst officiating EVER or officiating that is acting out a conference directive as to who wins. I think it is a combination of both. SLU is what it is and I can't figure out why they remain in the A-10. There must be a buyout or a contractual obligation they have to fulfill before leaving. They would do better to get together with other teams of their ilk, like Memphis, and Cincinnati , who are located in the midwest and forming a conference grouping in an already established conference, much like the team in the current Big East did when they changed the membership so drastically. SLU has come a long way from the West Pine Gym and Kiel era. Back then it was a revelation when Rich Grawer re-lit the fire for SLU basketball. He did it with the help of some local kids who wanted to play. Times have changed. I just wish SLU would get into a conference where some rivalries and regional competition could be reborn. The A-10 could not be a more BLAH home for the Bills. Going in chronological order: Mizzou is having some success this season with many players who played in the Horizon League, MVC, etc... Big East? The first place team is having success with several players that were not super highly ranked. And, their point guard came from the A10. Memphis (Mid South not Midwest) and Cincinnati, are football schools. UC is joining the Big 12 while Memphis plays in the AAC. Memphis is getting a $200 million renovation of its football stadium. Cincinnati was getting close to $10 million annually before joining tje Big 12 which has been paying roughly $43 million annually per school. Rivalries are formed based on repeated competitive play over time, not geography. Geography can enhance a rivalry, but, it isn't necessary. The A10 was in part hurt with the departure of a few previously very good programs. And the bottom tier of the large conference, doesn't have a strong enough commitment to athletics. SLU can help itself by getting higher level results consistently over time. JMM28 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wgstl Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 You can give money and still want Ford gone. Not 100% but Im sure now coaches will want to know how much money is available for NIL when interviewing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schasz Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Neither my wife nor I give money to UT's NIL. Once I saw what they gave the top QB ( he's on campus now) a ton of money I figured the amount we would give wasn't need at UT. As for SLU and being an Alum I'd consider it, but frankly that decision would be tied into what the Powers at SLU decide to do with Travis Ford's future at SLU after this season is over.

courtside Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 26 minutes ago, TheA_Bomb said: Name a non-geographic rivalry? ND vs USC in football? What else? Don't you live in Texas? The Dallas Cowboys have multiple "rivals" over the years in their Division, with teams from the Northeast. It's because they had repeated competitive play over time. The St. Louis Cardinals football and baseball both played in a predominantly Northeast Division where rivals were based on repeated competitive play over time vs geography. The Cardinals of course had tons more success than the Cubs, but all time record head to head is very close. That has more to do with the rivalry than geography. As stated, geography can enhance a rivalry. But it doesn't make a rivalry by itself. St. Louis and KC were not NFL rivals because they didn't play each other often. Preseason game only. The hockey rivals of the St. Louis Blues have evolved past Chicago. For a while Detroit was one. And it of course has changed some again with realignment and expansion and teams thst wouldn't have beeb considered past rivals. Syrcause and Georgetown had repeated competitive play over time and were rivals. They played this year but they of course play less often and it isn't the same. Pittsburgh even had rivals when it was in the Big East and good. Creighton has developed some now that they didn't have before and so on.

billiken_roy Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 i am not contributing to something that i believe is fundamentally corrupt, is an effort in futility as the big schools will blow our likely pittance out of the water, and will likely lead to the ncaa splitting division one into D1 and D1a due to the wide gap in competition i believe this pos program will lead to. i understand there is a belief we have to try to compete in it, but count me out. my money will be much better served contributing to Shriner's Children Hospital general fund.

I wonder if this is also geared towards getting Jimerson, Hargrove, and/or Yuri to stick around another year (or two in Gibby's case). The interesting aspect to this is that if Ford wants to keep Yuri, but Troy doesn’t, then he’s gone.
