Then again I’m a 40+ year old male who still enjoys the occasional pair of cargo shorts on a hot day. So I may not be the voice of cool for Billiken chants. It’s not the Saint Louis part I hate, it’s how it’s explained to the crowd and started that I hate. And cargos rule.

Tell that to Duke, UNC, KU, Baylor, etc. A band is part of the gameday experience and the fans (see the donors) love the band. My all time favorite Pep Band when I attended NCAA Tourney games was Stanford's. One year the band leader wore a shower cap and bath robe!

From my vantage point, 1 foul was legit, the other 3 weren't - taken in how the game was called. The refs were an aid in getting the W. Okoro had some stuff early that I thought he would get called for. He didn't and we ended up out rebounding SVU because of it. We have gotten some home cooking this year. Our road record is trash in comparison. We will see in Brooklyn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have generally traded this kind of wackiness in favor of canned experiences. The coordinators in the AD who arrange this stuff are horrendous. They should start with firing Gus Phelps.

DeSmetBilliken Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 3 hours ago, BrettJollyComedyHour said: From conversations with the ones who stuck around, it seems like the Athletic Department has given a lot of good concessions and made some things right with the band. The "interim" director is a close friend and I think she's done a great job so far. I think time, more than anything, will help. That and the seeming willingness on both sides to work together through issues. You’re closer to the situation than you’re letting on, because you are one of the “ones who stuck around”. Did you hear this from yourself? Out with it: what are these “concessions” that took place? The athletics department under Chris May has never been one to admit mistakes and improve, so I’m skeptical the changes are meaningful. I’m legitimately curious.

NoCoBillsFan Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 The Billiken clap and the Saint Louis chant are corny. I know it’s mostly for the kids but the high five cam is bad too imo. And I know my opinion might be skewed as someone who has been to nearly every home game this year but I would like some variation to the game experience. It’s always the same chants, the same crowd games, and the same songs at the exact same times. BilliesBy40 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slu72 Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 I’m interested in what Gibby said about his future. Was he asked directly if he plans to come back? Travis behind the bar at Humpries? Prepping for a new career, maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG BILL FAN Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 5 hours ago, billiken_roy said: That result was likely caused by the fouls. Anyone who's ever played before will tell you a player in that circumstance is going to be mentally affected and start playing cautious and not be the same player I’ve already learned from the Ford haters that they aren’t interested in excuses. The narrative that Camara didn’t deserve those fouls just isn’t true. I just take issue with those who are trying to minimize the Billikens play in the win. The same fans didn’t seem to care that Akoro missed the previous game in their critique of the coaching. Camara has had issues with fouls all season, as most bigs. dennis_w, Billiken Rich and MariaReynolds like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoke on the season and how challenging it has been. After Yuri finished talking they chanted "one more year". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
