Pistol Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 No A-10, but the Valley is included? Interesting. That's the way it should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonwich Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 No offense, guys, but didn't I post that same link two or three times last season? By definition, SLU is not a mid-major! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufanskip Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 If you would've included a restaraunt review ... we would have read it Official Billikens.com sponsor of H Waldman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tseugnekillib Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 joe, you may have posted something very similar....but at my age, I don't remember what I had for lunch or which bridge I crossed coming home, let alone what was posted on this goofy board last winter!

Member of the A-10, no on campus facilities (I know we are getting them), no football. If it looks like a mid major it must be. Nothing wrong with being one, it just seems silly to think we are anything but one. We are no where near the level of most Big 10, Big 12, ACC or Big East Teams. Won't incluse the PAC 10. They suck. Unfortunately the A-10 isn't even as good as the MVC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billiken Rich Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 What a classy first post! Thanks. I look forward to reading the further spewings from your gaping hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box and Won Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 So does the lack of on-campus facilities and football make Marquette a mid-major as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I'd be willing to bet that you meant to make your name "5C Gangsta," but you even screwed that up. But despite your inability to write beyond a sixth-grade level, you still claim to know more than the coaches and writers who put that together. Wow.

billiken_roy Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 i disagree. if it was vtime, wouldnt gansta have mentioned at least one player from the phl in the post? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 But, wouldn't that be the future career for many Vashon players in the Iron's era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NashvilleBilliken Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 HUH????Since when is being in a gang racist, dude? Not sure where your from, but I see white, black, latino, jewish, what have you punks walking around the streets all the time trying to be "gangstas". They really just look like dumbasses. Your post was much more racist than mine, if that's truly the way you think. I know, I know...bring back the offseason board! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billiken Rich Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Come, come, now Mr. Ace. If you go for a handle including the term "Gangsta" You are pretty much opening the door to the "bus' a cap" jokes. Pretty much my favorite line from Pulp Fiction not involving the term "Hard, Pipe-hitting......" had to be Ving Rhames describing the action plan to his fellow employees to chastise Butch as "If Butch goes to Indo-China, I want a......waiting in a bowl of rice to bust a cap in his....." PS I detest the racial epithets used in those lines and in hollywood in general. I'm curious to see if "Idlewild" can be done without them.

Billiken Rich Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Ace is aparently operating with the same hyperactive, paranoid outlook shared by the ACLU and Rainbow Push..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moytoy12 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Rich, i understand the thrust of your point (and i think you are right for the most part), but... hyperactivity and paranoid outlooks aren't reserved solely for the ACLU and the like...the conservative right has a pretty good case of and infecting the rest of us with paranoia (e.g. the war on terror). I wanted to supplement your statement to ensure the board was "fair and balanced". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACE Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 >Ace is aparently operating with the same hyperactive, >paranoid outlook shared by the ACLU and Rainbow Push..... Isn't this comment a political comment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NashvilleBilliken Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 You've been posting on this board for years as a well respected poster. You used to be the Detective on Narks old board and I think you originally exposed T and T. But what's with this agenda of yours for the past six months? It's like your sole purpose on here is to annoy the mods with comments like your previous two posts and fight the fight for the offseason board. It's just a message board...and a basketball one at that. Can't we all just come here and discuss the team we all love. Being called a mid-major will piss off just about any fan...regardless of your status. It's a derogatory term coined by the big boys. The gangsta comment was directed toward a guy who obviously isn't much of a fan and was purely a joke. Lighten up, man... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billiken Rich Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Thank you for punting me back to the middle of the road. For every pinko, paranoid, whacko there is (at least) one Mccarthy or Nixon or worse....... PS jost because all the islamo-fascists are out to get us doesn't mean we're paranoid. PPS For Ace: Islamo-fascist is not a term to deride all Muslims. It is a VERY specific, VERY small group of religious extremists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
