My favorite is the UD fan who said something like imagine if AG tried to fight a fan. As if that never happened. TRN likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that was a great little exclamation point to the whole thing. Pick a fight with a fan on the road in front of a priest. Really need video!

USA is a NBC owned network. Yeah, I’m joking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is anyone keeping a list of the Ford unhinged moments from this season? My favorite was in Myrtle Beach when he attacked a trash can and it was within feet of a handicapped fan, provided a great visual SLU can be proud of. Or when his son attacking folks on social media somehow got flipped to him being the victim which included coach Ford bating folks to say it to his face, that he isn’t hard to find. The flipping of the script on that one was impressive honestly though. Although it would appear he isn’t well equipped to deal with folks doing as much.

He said he was willing to talk with anyone at Humphreys about the game decisions and so on. The invitations to a street brawl are a new development. From conversation to UFC is quite the bold move by CTF. JMM28 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep and then Rammer tried to save him as he's done all season and soften it after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CenHudDude Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 9 hours ago, Lord Elrond said: Well, if you want some consolation, the game yesterday got us to rise from 236 in NET to 225, meanwhile all the flapping by the idiot in a cheap bird suit couldn’t stop St Joe’s from falling to 97 from 91. Will this cause celebrations to spontaneously break out all over Billiken Nation? NO! My advice to all Billiken fans remains: Start drinking heavily. WE’RE 225! WE’RE 225! Wait a minute, maybe I have been drinking. Lord Elrond likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billikenfan05 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Ford's an idiot for jawing with a fan like that but I'm laughing out loud at the SJU fan clutching their pearls "He was signaling for the fan to come down to to the court to get into it! We were in section 107 and saw it firsthand! Disgusting!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboy II Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 -Travis appeared upset, and in my opinion rightfully so, after the halftime interview when there was a good sized group of people to wade through to get off the court - I didn't see any security - looking at the seating chart section 107 would be right there -I don't know when after the game any incident happened but there could have been even more people in the area then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgeldmacher Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Maybe I've missed it, but in the turnover discussion, has anyone mentioned that Hughes had 7 turnovers. All seven seemed to come at the worst times in crucial possessions. He seemed to be flinging the ball in random directions, but usually to St. Joe's. I've heard some criticize Cian, but when you are the primary ball handler, four turnovers isn't terrible. Seven turnovers for a wing is terrible. That stat probably costs us the game.

LHJ had stones for hands in that first half. A few of the TO were super fundamentals/coordination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Holly Hills Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 There is no easy answer for the turnovers. Everyone on the team who’s handled the ball to some degree, has been bad. I would just go PG by committee and cross your fingers. Rammer said meadows might be out for the rest of the season this afternoon on the radio. He turned it over the least, but I was never a fan of his. If we are going to lose anyway, I’d rather watch the younger kids play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I have no allegiance to Meadows, just a fifth-year mercenary. I'd rather ride the times with medley and see if the play helps him develop or go with the great Hughes experiment and see what that brings. Let's also not forget that Kellen Thames was listed as a point guard when originally recruited although his recent play and position suggests otherwise. I think the p[roblem we have at point now comes from CTF's coaching strategy. I noted in observations after the Joeys game that the style is all hero ball. Get that one great player to ride into the sunset on. The problem was that the last two years, that hero was Collins. By being so dependent on a hero that is a point, CTF was unable to persuade anyone to come to SLU and basically sit on the bench and ride Collins' coattails. Ergo, no other developmental point guard came in and we are left with a freshman who is essentially learning on the job (as is an out of position player in Hughes). Roster construction is to blame.

We were told( like a ton of other false promises) that Parker was maybe the best passer on the team. Hopefully Fords telling Parker to give us that too. If Parker starts sharing the ball, perhaps We just run him out there at the point at times. Nothing else to lose. If it doesn't work, so be it.
