I hereby retract any suggestion I ever made that SLU should join the Missouri Valley Conference. They have to clean up their act first.

BTW, they did a terrible job of describing what a "train" is. No imagery at all. :hehe:

..

don't be silly! mVC fans would be crapping all over themselves to get SLU in the M v c. Coach Majerus hasn't sounded off on the topic in year or two, But it will come up again at his next contract negotiation. SLU has a big fan base, great academic record, and would have natural rivalries with nearly every MVC school. it would be huge for the entire conference. The damn snooty priest who runs SLU is all that stands in the way.


Are you talkin to me?

With the shoplifting arrests, Drake fans lost some moral high ground. Hey, it's all good. :sick:

The latest from Majerus...

Saint Louis coach Rick Majerus wasn't nearly as happy. He praised UMass's effort performance, but little else pleased him after the game and he delivered a memorable rant.



Asked about whether traveling back and forth to play Xavier on Wednesday before heading to Amherst had tired his team out, Majerus repeated a familiar complaint of his that Saint Louis doesn't geographically belong in the Atlantic 10.



If we really cared about the student athletes, and I think we try to, we don't belong in this league," he said. "I'm more concerned academically. The thing the travel compromises the most is their ability to get a good education."

Now Butler is rumored to be courted by the A10, as a replacement for Temple. I imagine that would make St. Louis more likely to stay put.

Too bad the Valley rejected Butler when they wanted to join in the 90's.

Drakey

SLU beat Alabama today to advance in the NCAA tournament. SLU's first NCAA tourney victory since 1998. SLU has a huge fan base, a sweet new arena, rich basketball tradition, and smokin-hot cheerleaders. Majerus is going to push hard to get 'em in the MVC. The addition of SLU would raise the MVC from a B+ conference to an A- conference. We need 'em bad, and not just because it would put another annual Drake game in my backyard.

Are you talkin to me?

I didn't know that. Why would the MVC turn down Butler but take Evansville?

Are you talkin to me?

It's hard to imagine now, but Evansville was the better program at that time.
