So the major conspiracy is over, five days after it happened. Now we can get back to whether or not there was a second shooter in Dallas in 1963.

Yes, sure, I don't think anyone said he was lying. SLU wasn't telling the truth. That's the issue. JMM28 and rgbilliken like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as likely he was trying to hit Connally as Kennedy and, like everything else in his miserable life, he effed that up, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACE Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 That's welcome good news. Hopefully they get word on the kid from France soon. Speaking of the international players - there seems to be a little buzz around Curcic. Maybe it's the haircut, but he reminds me a bit of Drejaj. He seems like he'll be feisty and knock down some shots. He may carve out a role as the season progresses. billiken_roy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu had posted numerous times that SLU officials told him that once Bruce was healthy he would be playing. That obviously was a lie. brianstl, MusicCityBilliken, JMM28 and 1 other like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 7 minutes ago, HoosierPal said: I respect your opinion. Please paste the link with SLU's lie about Bruce. Are you serious? Basically Stu's Twitter feed from the past three weeks. They tried to hide behind his injury until he was cleared - he's got a knee injury, should be fine by sometime in November - a vague, evolving timeline. Then one hour before Monday's tipoff, they said for the first time that he wasn't cleared. They said the NCAA informed them on Sunday night that he wasn't cleared. They wanted us to believe that he was cleared, then on a Sunday night someone at the NCAA changed his mind, and then on Thursday morning he was cleared. If you don't think SLU knew he wasn't cleared all along, I have some magic beans to sell you. rgbilliken, Zink, TheBand and 2 others like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That obviously was a lie. The original estimate for Bruce being healthy was mid-November. He got healthy earlier. My theory: The AD got assurances that he would be cleared in time for the first game. Instead it took a few more days. But we'll never know because there is no transparency from the AD's office. Which is why attempting to expose them through social media is a waste of time and energy.

TheA_Bomb Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 SLU AD Never ascribe to malice that which can best be explained by incompetence. Also @3star_recruit not sure you're correct. People started discussing the story started changing. JMM28 and Box and Won like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soderball Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Great news. This is sorely needed to get some length on the inside and take some of the pressure off of TH The commentary about SLU being dishonest regarding reasons he was not playing is accurate; was wrong for SLU to do; and unfortunately is just expected at this point. Shame on the AD for not cleaning up that mess. It's part and parcel and expected at this point, I think any info that comes out of the AD is suspect until they clean their act up. I'm not even sure why they were dishonest as the situation was not outrageous and clarifying "we expect that he will be cleared and is eligible, but it is taking longer than we hoped" is straightforward, honest, and reasonable. The SLU AD hates their fans. That's something we knew already. dlarry likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlarry Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Anyone know how he compares with SVB? was Bruce more highly regarded? Do they have the same type of game? As a general rule I expect nothing from freshman bigs but when that’s all you have you need some kind of production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have heard is that Bruce surprised people with how far he has advanced offensively, but needs to add muscle and improve defensively. This is great news. It might not all come together for him this season, but I have high hope for Bruce. Old guy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
