I think Dayton will beat them

Dayton beat Fordham 82-58 at Rose Hill Gym Jan. 10. But Fordham has the mojo now, and Dayton looked disinterested vs. St. Joe’s last night. I think Dayton has the better club. We’ll see if it shows up tomorrow. Dayton could lose to Fordham if it brings the same effort, or lack thereof, as last night.

fordham doesnt have 10,000 fans.   that is new york fans jumping on a bandwagon.  

I get what you are saying, but it depends how loose of a definition of "fan" you use. Most people I attended SLU with are casual fans at best. They normally don't pay any attention until we show up in the AP Top 25 or get to the conference championships game. Then they post tons of stuff about the Billikens and selfies decked out in Billiken Gear. I am sure Fordham has scores of thousands of those type of fans still living in Gotham.

, I wish we had a bandwagon.

A Fordham booster told me at least 5,000 Fordham fans were there last night. I thought he was being conservative, estimated 6,000 there myself. But if you think of the lower bowl as a rectangle curved at the edges, only the LaSalle end zone was mostly sparse. So 5/6 of the lower bowl was filled. That attendance figure of 8,500+ is in the ballpark, and 90% were Fordham fans during the Fordham game. 
 

The Fordham students were there em masse. They took the Metro North from Fordham in The Bronx to Grand Central, then transferred to the 4 NYC Subway to Barclays center in Brooklyn. 

They can also take the 4, B, or D without having to transfer.

We do.  Actual Billiken fans remember being at the old Arena when they started taking down the SLU tarps that blocked off the high ends of the upper deck.  Spoonball was a thing.......It's been a while but it can be again....

Man, I thought I was a miserable sports fan. This f*cking guy makes me look like an eternal optimist.

Funny. It's hard to imagine having a bandwagon when over 40% of our biggest fans wouldn't even go to a post-season home game...

You have to first do something to get people excited enough to jump on the bandwagon

What do you mean! The pageantry, the glorious A-10.  Okoro the big man SWATTING away balls like a fly off a shoulder of garden gnome after a joint in LA.  Yuri. Perkins. Jimmy.  Winning.  The Mid-Major Conference of Champions.

I don’t know why but I’ve always been drawn to Pac12 schools and sports. In fact I only looked at Pac12 schools for grad school before realizing what an incredible waste of money it would be. Not sure if it’s the educational pedigree, west coast vibe, the irrational and ungrounded anger I have towards the perceived slight the Pac12 receives compared to other P5 conferences, or what. But I do know that I love Bill Walton. And not because he’s a phenomenal color man. He’s horrible. It’s because he’s so bad he’s good. His exchanges are so incredibly awkward they’re hilarious. Plus I love the Grateful Dead…

Anyone know if CBSSN streams on anyplace like Prime? The cable company we have does not have CBSSN. I do have a stick so I could stream if there is anyone who picks up that network.
