Legion1818 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Get pumped Billiken fans. SLU takes on Northwestern in the second round of the NCAA Tournament this Wednesday at 7pm at Hermann Stadium. After receiving a first-round bye, SLU faces an NU team that beat Cincy 3-0 over the weekend, and has come a long way over the past couple of years, considering they had previously NEVER won a Big 10 conference game. They've got some talent, no doubt, and this is the second staright, and second time ever they have made it into the Tourney. We've been given the home field advantage for this one, and Legion 1818 plans to make good use of it, even though the NCAA bars any form of "artificial noisemakers," so we'll just scream louder, and clap longer. Legion 1818 will be having our traditional FREE BBQ at 5pm in front of Griesedieck Complex with hot dogs, chips and drinks to get pumped up for the game. Come out beforehand and join the rest of the Billiken faithful. Also, Legion 1818 will be buying 35 tickets to give out to the first 35 STUDENTS who attend the BBQ and game. Since the game is NCAA's, SLU has to charge $7/adult, $5/youth and $5 for students. But we want people to go for free, and that's why we've offered this to the students of SLU. AND FINALLY! As SLU is hosting the College Cup in December, Legion 1818 is making it our mission to ensure that SLU brings back the 11th National Championship to this university on our home field. LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN! GO BILLIKENS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtside Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 For any non-shirtless alum,casual fan or diehard fan that is too old to go shirtless...or any firstimer...Wed game would be a great choice of games for a first timer to SLU soccer...anyway....bundle up, heard snow flurries in the mix for Wed.Perfect soccer weather.

Legion1818 Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 I just want to elaborate on something I stated in my first post. The NCAA does NOT allow any form of artificial noisemakers to be used during NCAA sanctioned events (ie: the tournament, not the regular season). This means that Legion 1818 cannot utilize the drums and horns that most people have either come to love or hate. Whatever your take, the point is that Legion 1818 is at a significant disadvantage, and we need to remedy the situation. Although we will be just as loud vocally and through clapping, we are going to need to FILL our section on Wedneday night to help our Billikens progress in the tournament. This is a call to action. Everyone on this board is a SLU fan. Some are more bball, others soccer, while some are simply here to talk about all. But whatever your situation, I'm asking that you all make the conscious effort to make it out to Hermann Stadium so that we can ALL help our beloved Billikens bring back the 11th National Championship ON OUR HOME FIELD! Let's make this happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RF1 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Good Luck from a Rhode Island fan. Rhody won its first round game at Big East member Rutgers last Saturday in a shootout. The Rams next play at Lehigh. Let's hope SLU and URI can continue on in the tournament and make A-10 soccer proud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
