Ya, but we don't have a Biondi in charge now. You think Pestello could be behind this? You think he's the kind of person that would blindside May like Biondi did his AD? No way. There was no Chafetz then and if he's being fired now there is no chance May doesn't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLU didn’t tell Crews “you’re going to be fired, AND you have to wear a sweater for the rest of the season”…did they? Because that’s actually kind of hilarious.

You really think mocking and ridiculing our coach is helpful? You embarrass yourself and the university. I don’t understand why you take any slight criticism of Ford so personally. Nobody has mocked him in this thread. He makes $2.5 million a year, funded by alumni. He’ll be okay. P.S., look at any fanbase of a program aspiring to be competitive. when a coach has failed to meet expectations, these kinds of discussions happen.

When it comes to big donors wanting to do something, I think almost any university President is capable of freezing out his AD. Biondi didn’t wake up and decide to fire Brad and hire Rick himself. The big money donor who doesn’t attach his name to any of his donations was behind it. thatskablamo and cheeseman like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked Chat GPT to: Write me a song about it being a long offseason on Billikens.com This is what I got Quote Verse 1: The leaves have fallen, the air's turned cold The court lies empty, a story untold We wait for news, we wait for hope On Billikens.com we find ways to cope Chorus: It's a long offseason, but we won't give in We'll stay united, and we'll never give up the win We'll keep the faith, and hold our heads high Together we'll rise, and reach for the sky Verse 2: The players have gone, the coaches too But the memories remain, and the dreams come through We'll keep the passion burning bright On Billikens.com, we'll keep the fire alight Chorus: It's a long offseason, but we won't give in We'll stay united, and we'll never give up the win We'll keep the faith, and hold our heads high Together we'll rise, and reach for the sky Bridge: Through the highs and lows, we'll stand as one Our love for the game, never to be undone We'll count down the days, until the season's start And when it comes, we'll give it our heart Chorus: It's a long offseason, but we won't give in We'll stay united, and we'll never give up the win We'll keep the faith, and hold our heads high Together we'll rise, and reach for the sky Outro: On Billikens.com, we'll keep the dream alive And when the season comes, we'll take the dive We'll cheer and shout, and give it our all For the love of the game, we'll stand tall.

The same donor who told Biondi at St. Raymond’s that he wanted Bobby Knight instead of Brad in the first place and would pay for the big name replacement, Tony Novelly. thatskablamo likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BilliesBy40 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 We should not mention Ford’s name in the same sentence as someone who has won an NCAA tournament game at SLU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLU_Nick Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I dk why, but the fact that this has been up for 2+ hours and @TheOne is silent makes me think their may be some fire to this smoke. maybe we are waiting for the new coach to be eliminated from the tournament?
