St. Louis

[BballFan]

So far, after watching both St. Louis and Xavier play, St. Louis looks like the better team. I think St. Louis wins the A10 and Xavier will be left without a NCAA Tournament bid. Looks like the NIT for Xavier.

[MaurerHigh]

This actually made me laugh out loud.

[Xaviertutu52]

That may be the funniest thing I have seen today, I love how after ONE game that Xavier lost somehow means that we suck and that our coaching staff is terrible and that we will not make the tournament. Not to mention that our 3 leading scorers were gone.

[BballFan]

It's not after ONE game that Xavier lost...although losing to Oral Roberts with or without a couple of starters should be flat out embarrassing to Xavier, when they are talking about making the Final Four. Xavier would have lost that game with their starters. Xavier has been lucky, and barely beat some bad teams. They have no signature win. St. Louis has beat teams of the same caliber and better (i.e Oklahoma, Villanova) by double digits. Their only loss was at the end of an on the road 4 games in 6 days stretch. They were understandably tired. All you guys can do to argue with this is say it's stupid, and bang your heads on walls. Xavier will lose to Long Beach State, and Xavier will have at least 3 losses in the A10. This conference is not good enough to get 2 teams in, and Xavier will be left out.

[vee4xu]

This has to be some kind of joke right? Maybe X should plan on cutting down the nets in St. Louis after they clinch yet another A-10 titile in their building on 2/28/12. I am getting kind of bored watching the net cutting ceremony at the Cintas Center anyway.

[BBC 08]

Villanova is terrible. Don't say that is a good win.

[Xaviertutu52]

"St. Louis has beat teams of the same caliber and better"
Yes because Villanova (6-5) is a tournament team? Oklahoma is 8-1 but have played a very weak schedule

[vee4xu]

Well SLU's fans are finally sick of being XU's little brother. Go talk to ud fans, Richmond fans and Charlotte fans. Maybe the four schools can start a joint support group to deal with the inferiority complex each of you has from losing to X so much.

[BballFan]

Name a school that Xavier has played that is better than Oklahoma.

Purdue, Vanderbilt, Oral Roberts, Butler........Oklahoma is probably better than sUCks. Of course I think they play each other.

I will admit that if Tu Holloway, Mark Lyons and Dez Wells sit out the rest of the season, it is very unlikely that Xavier will make the Final Four.

[coasterville95]

Actually, this is a development. St. Louis has not been good the first few years under Mejuerus, they used to be much stiffer competition. The fact they think their program has developed to the point where they can come out of the storm shelter and talk smack means things must finally be on the up. That's good, we need a stronger A10, even if some programs need to remember the proper order of things within the A10.

BTW: Speaking of the St. Louis coach, how many more laptops have been broken?

[bleedXblue]

Majerus should be teed up every game for being a disgusting slob.

And by the way, he's been at St. Louis for 5 years. He's never been to the NCAA tourney and his best finish in the A-10 is 4th.

Idiot talking smack to Xavier who's won 5 A-10 titles in a row and 10 of the 11 last NCAA tourney's.

Moron.

[Muskie]

SLU looks like they have finally turned the corner under Majerus. I happen to like Mitchell's game. He's a great PG. I dont' know that they are better than X. But games against SLU are tough. I could see them making the dance this year.

But it's a long season.

And we all know how hard it is to turn a corner under, around, or by Majerus!

I agree. He needs to go.

[BballFan]

Why is it that you Xavier fans can talk all kinds of smack about other schools, but can't handle someone doing it back?

It's time for someone else to represent the A10 that can actually make it to the Final Four or Championship game. We decided, after Xavier's one and done run last year (once again) that the A10 should be better represented. Say all you want about Majerus, at least he has made it past the the elite 8 (or better yet sweet 16 which is Mack's best), to a championship game. I guess we need to get use to it, you are going to hate him even more when he is A10 coach of the year...and more ;)

[danaandvictory]

Tell Majerus to stick to things he's good at, like ridiculing deaf kids and resigning in disgrace "for health reasons" when it becomes public.

[BballFan]

Hahaha...a guy that believes in myths. Point me to an article that proves he "yelled at a deaf kid", and I'll point you to multiple articles that proves Mack has no control at all of his players :) Majerus DID resign for health reasons....just not his own, his mother's.

[PMI]

First of all, I love shit talking back and forth, just, you know, with adults who actually have something clever to say, not some asbergers kid from Missouri.

Second, Xavier can talk all the shit it wants to any A10 program, and all said program can do about it is sit and take it like the inferior piece of shit it is. Xavier has owned this league since before your parents allowed you have your internet time in private. Saint Louis and the rest of the posers in the league have, and will continue to smell the glove. The A10 is below the Xavier Musketeers, and should feel so privileged that it has our success to boast, because nobody else can consistently do anything worth a shit.

Speaking of a shit, the Billikens (whatever the fuck those are) hired a man who actually took a shit in a towel in front of his entire team at Utah, and handed that towel to a student manager. That's the kind of fat turd you're dealing with: truly one of the lowest scumbags in the game. And you know what, he hasn't even gotten St. Louis to the NCAA tournament yet. I'm 25 and I've never ever seen Xavier go that long without making it to the NCAA tournament, but I suppose we can't all be winners.

How shitty and boring is your pathetic life, that you've gotten to the point where you're spending your time on an opponent's message board spewing out the kind of "rap" lyrics that the 6 year old kids of the crackheads I used to have to tutor would have even rolled their eyes at? You bring the shit so weak that you haven't even been banned yet, despite doing nothing but troll.

It's OK though. After we dispose of you and the rest of the A10, per usual, we won't have to deal with your shit anymore, because there's no way you have the spine to come around after Xavier wins yet another A10 title. Just like the rest of them.

[HuskyMuskie]

Yeah, I saw your goofy ass comments over on ESPN too. (Nothing screams unenlightened like a conference opponent fan scathing through your team's ESPN comments against Oral Roberts, btw.)

If anything, I think it's fair to say that Xavier fans understand smack talking. I would use that as ammo for one of your barbed comments next time. But what I don't understand is you saying what could be described as horrendously ludicrous claims, knowing that you can't possibly be serious.

But if you happen to be, I will be willing to make a bet with you. Until then, I'll sit back knowing you are a teenager with a keyboard.

Oh. I hate the Cardinals.

[BballFan]

The A10 is below Xavier? Where does Xavier belong? The SEC? The ACC? The Big Ten? The Big East? Sorry, but those conferences have teams that actually get to Final Fours and Championship games. Xavier is FAR from being above the A10, and Saint Louis is about to prove that to all you arrogant bleeps. At least our coach can say he has been to a championship game, and he will get us there...sooner rather than later.

The "rap lyrics that that the 6 year old kids of the crackheads...blah...blah...blah" are meant to sound that way. The words are coming from Tu Holloway after all.

Saint Louis is on the rise. After we win the A10 this year and Xavier ends up in the NIT, your heads will be back to the size they should be.

Xip em up...really? And you are saying something about what a crackhead 6 year old would say? I mean...especially after Xavier lost by 22 points to Oral Roberts?? Wow!! Just wow!!

[coasterville95]

Ah, I see this is now in the House of Smack forum where it belongs.

It's not that we don't think you are allowed to talk smack, it's just that you did so in the wrong forum. We like to keep things tidy.

Now then, are you really playing the UD Card, that is the "Passed You As a Program" card? Really?

Let's see 6 NCAA Tourney appearances in the last 8 years. Two Elite Eights in that time, two more Sweet 16's. And in those 8 years, your program has done what, exactly, in post season?

Hey, I'm a reasonable guy, I was excited to learn St. Louis was joining the A10. I was looking forward to gaining another solid program. (we need a few to cancel out Fordham, St. Bonnies, and LaSalle). As I recall both St. Louis and Charlotte were the 2005 or 2006 expansion teams. Both looked great on paper on signing day, in reality, not so much. Oh, wait Charlotte just went to the Title Game in Soccer, so there is something goining on in Charlotte's defense.

Charlotte just got a new coach last year, so they get a pass now to see if they can pull it together. I'd be thrilled if your coach and program could get to the point where you have 6 tourney appearances in 8 years, again the A10 needs all the help it can get in making a name for itself.

Don't be like that program in Clifton that beats it chest because they won a title in 1961. Let's talk about recent program success. (Of course we could pull out the 1958 NIT Championship banner and show it to you sometime, if you want to go into history, and then we would have to educate you that the NIT of 1958 was held in much higher regard than the current day NIT)

Looking forward to the St. Louis game, where your coach can have his 55 seconds at center court in Cintas, so he can apologize to the Xavier faithful for his actions in last year's game, as well as present the athletics department with a replacement laptop.

An apology at cneter court seems to deduct about 25 points from your final score...

[BballFan]

Coastervill95

It's good to see a Xavier fan can put together a post with a little bit of substance, other than "your a 6 year old crack addict" or "your life must be shitty and boring..." type of comments.

Sure, Xavier has had SOME success, and Saint Louis hasn't in recent years. The key word there for Xavier fans is SOME. St. Louis is looking beyond that, and the coach we have is going to take us there. We are not going to be satisfied...like Xavier...with just making it to the Sweet 16 a couple of times. We have our eyes on Final Fours and Championships, and this is the year we start.

[coasterville95]

So, you think you are going to the Final Four and beyond, based on the fact you hired a coach that took a different school there?

Ask Minnesota how that is working out for them, since they lured Tubby Smith away from Kentucky with much the same expectations.

[BballFan]

I could turn it around and say no...it's based on Crean's story, but it's not based on something like that alone. I'm just saying that he has the potential, and that's what our eyes are on. It's also based on the results I have seen so far. Our team is very good this year. And yes...I think we are better than Xavier this year and will beat them twice...maybe 3 times, if they end up playing in the tournament. Those of you who feel Xavier is above the A10, just be prepared to be humbled.

[Xaviertutu52]

St. Louis has been an embarrassment to the A-10 for a while now, has not even made the NCAA tournament in 11 years, and all of the sudden they are a final four team?

[danaandvictory]

Hahaha...a guy that believes in myths. Point me to an article that proves he "yelled at a deaf kid", and I'll point you to multiple articles that proves Mack has no control at all of his players :) Majerus DID resign for health reasons....just not his own, his mother's.

You mean legends like Lance Allred's published autobiography, which Majerus has never convincingly refuted? You are an idiot, a troll, and a pathetic joke of a human being. Just like the old towel shitter himself:

I believe most Xavier fans will reserve our remarks of humility and those of congratulations on the Bills' feats until the Majerus-led five actually humble the Muskies in 2 of 3 or 3 of 3 games and then go on to some significant success in the post-season.

All Coach Mack has done is win the regular season Conference championship each year he's been the head coach and received invites to the NCAA Tourney each year also. Rick Majerus is now in his fifth year as head coach at Saint Louis. He's already had the chance to surround himself with a team-ful of his own recruits. He has won zero (0) A-10 championships of any kind. He never made the NCAA Tourney as coach of Marquette and in his long tenure at mid-major Utah, he made it as far as the Elite Eight only once (except for his team's loss in the finals in 1998). He twice had to turn his team over to an assistant coach due to his own poor health (heart surgery in 1989 and outright retirement due to poor health in 2004). Rick is 13 years past receiving his AARP card (at 63) and could hardly be described as the poster boy for health and fitness.

The Bills haven't been to the NCAA Tourney in over 10 years! In the modern era (1960 and beyond) the Bills have only made the NCAA 4 times and have advanced as far as the 2nd Round only twice --- and never beyond! Why do you come to a Xavier chatboard predicting great things for a coach and a program that haven't anything in their recent history that would lead one to believe there is any reasonable hope for an NCAA Championship in the immediate (or any other) future?

But you do have a nice arena!

[BballFan]

Xaviertutu: Saint Louis is an embarrassment? You need to worry about your own team because they just got through embarrassing themselves and the conference on National TV by acting like a bunch of animals. They also embarrassed themselves and our conference by losing in the first round last year to an 11 seed by double digits.

Danaandvictory: Idiot? Troll? Pathetic joke of a human being? You should really work on increasing your vocabulary. Also, learn what a troll is because it doesn't apply here...except maybe to yourself.

Muskienick: Nice job at trying to down-play an accomplished coach who is 500-209 over-all, with a Championship Runner-up on his resume. You can word it however you want to make Mack and/or Xavier sound better, but the fact remains that he has been to a Final Four, and a Championship game which is more than Mack or Xavier can brag about. He has also been named a Conference Coach of the Year 5 time, UPI, and Basketball Times National Coach of the Year 1 year, and has received the John Wooden Award (National Coach of the Year). This year with St. Louis, he has the players that he has recruited, and is 9-1 with this team. You can brag about your coach...Chris Mack...who seems to be going in the opposite direction in the 2 years he's been over Xavier. He has yet to prove himself with a team that he has recruited himself. He went from winning 2 tournament games his first year to none his second year. He has proven that he doesn't have control of his players by the fight against UC, and the crazy interview Holloway and Lyons did afterwards. And so far this year, they have been lucky winning some very close games. It's obvious that St. Louis and their coach are on the way up, and Xavier and their coach are on the way out. Sorry...

[BballFan]

I also forgot to respond to this statement by Paulxu:


Xavier who's won 5 A-10 titles in a row and 10 of the 11 last NCAA tourney's.Where is Danaandvictory with her list of vocabulary words when you need them?? :)

[BandAid]

Serious question here:

I have been told (and corrected) a number of times that the school's name is SAINT Louis. It was my impression that abbreviating the name is equivalent to calling us Eggsavier. So what gives with the thread title? Was someone pulling my leg?

[Xaviertutu52]

Yes, an embarrassment just like the 10 other teams in the A-10 in the past 11 years

[JimmyTwoTimes37]

So far, after watching both St. Louis and Xavier play, St. Louis looks like the better team. I think St. Louis wins the A10 and Xavier will be left without a NCAA Tournament bid. Looks like the NIT for Xavier.

Wow! I gave Coach Majerus credit for every good thing he has done as a head coach. You try to make him sound like the second coming of Adolph Rupp, Billy Donovan, or Jim (wait! I'm looking the other way) Boeheim. His health is only a little better than Rupp's; he has not accomplished nearly what Donovan has in far fewer years nor what Boeheim (in the same age bracket) has. I am happy Rick is coaching in the A-10 --- he's good for the Conference. I'm also happy you like him and have confidence in him. But that's no reason to disparage our coach in the process.

Our guy has been a head coach for just over two years; has won the A-10 both years going 29-3 in Conference seasonal play during that time; won the A-10 Coach of the Year award in 2011; took X to the NCAA Tourney both years; has had the Muskies in the polls in each of his three years at the helm (with X ranked as high as 8th this season); and has been given credit for being among the top recruiters in the A-10, if not the top, in each year (and he's got another great class signed up for next season! Oh, another thing that's relevant in this discussion is the fact that Chris Mack XU teams have defeated Majerus-coached SLU all three times they have played each other, two of them at your place! All that, and after a single loss (with three key starters out of the lineup), you describe Coach Mack as "on the way out."

Talk about delusional! You take the cake!

[Juice]

http://deadspin.com/5439875/ahole-coach-digest-special-rick-majerus-edition


"Rick was always a jerk to the managers. Every season he went out of his ways to never learn their names. They were only referred to as ‘manager'. One day, Rick was drawing up a scout in our team room about 2 hours before tipoff. Things were going well, considering he was fully dressed and we hadn't been referred to as cunts yet. From the white board he started yelling 'manager, manager, bring a towel over here!'.

"Not knowing what to expect, we sat back eagerly awaiting his next move. What happened next still haunts me to this day. Majerus took the towel, pulled his pants down, and quickly took a dump into the towel, which he was holding under his ass. After he was done he used part of the towel to wipe, wrapped it up, and HANDED IT BACK TO THE MANAGER, and told him to throw it away. The kid looked like a deer in giant Rick Majerus headlights. The whole room was silent. Rick just pulled his pants up and went back to the scout, never once mentioning it or acting like anything out of the ordinary had occurred."

This may seem shocking, impossible, or something made up. I have now heard multiple confirmations of this story as it apparently is openly passed down from generation to generation of Majerus players. Imagine what else he's capable of having done over the past 20 years!

[BballFan]

"Its veracity is questionable. Its entertainment value is not."

[BballFan]

Muskienick...let's take a look again at what you said:


Rick Majerus is now in his fifth year as head coach at Saint Louis. He's already had the chance to surround himself with a team-ful of his own recruits. He has won zero (0) A-10 championships of any kind.

So what is your point? I don't think you understand the transition that teams go through when they get a new coach. Look at Coach Crean with Indiana. His records since he has been there.
6-25, 10-21, 12-20...no conference championships, and no post season play at all. This year...they are 11-0 right now. St. Louis is in a similar position right now. They haven't produce for the past 4 years because Majerus was getting his team together. Now, they are 10-1 so far this year. Looks to me like they are on their way up...with a coach that has a PROVEN track record, and a potential to get them to Final Fours and Championship games. Something Xavier has not experienced.


Coach Mack has won the regular season Conference championship each year he's been the head coach and received invites to the NCAA Tourney each year also.

Again, I don't think you understand the transition that can happen when schools change coaches. You fail to mention that this has only been 2 years. The players that he has are players that Miller recruited and developed. What I look at is what has happened in the past 3 years, and they have been on a slow decline. Sure, they made the tournament both years, but they didn't win a game last year...getting beat by double digits to an 11 seed team. This year, they are very lucky they have lost only one game, and you know that. I bring that up only because it puts things into perspective. Mack does not seem to have control of his players, and Xavier is on a decline.

[Cheesehead]

Odds are more likely for Rick to have a heart attack than for the Billikens make it to the Final 4 anytime soon.

[BballFan]

I'm not talking about them making the Final Four this year, but they WILL beat Xavier both times in the regular season this year. St. Louis fans are not talking about making the Final Four this year...Xavier fans are, and that is J O K E . You guys blame your stars being out for the Oral Roberts loss, but the truth is, they would have lost even if they were in. A Final Four team would NEVER lose to Oral Roberts by 22 point even without their starters.

[waggy]

This thread makes me think about how much Dayton sucks.

[BballFan]

I think Dayton take one from Xavier this year too. Xavier will end up with at least 5 losses this year in conference.

[waggy]

Oh God does dayton ever suck.

St. Louis knows :basketball:

Dayton blows.

[Cheesehead]

Guys, wake up! he is clearly right! I mean they did make the NCAA tourney in '52, '57, '94, '95, '98 and 11 years ago in 2000. So, they have that rich history going for them.

This year they have beaten Portland, Vermont, Illinois-Springfiled, Alabama State and two bad Big East teams: Villanova & BC. Their signature win is against Washington. So, clearly they are the better team. I mean they are ranked higher than Xavier....oh wait they are not.

IF St. Louis is any good this year. I welcome it and i say it's about time they helped out the conference. They sure haven't helped out much in the past. But Rick will lead them to the promised land....I need to run to Vegas and place my bet.

I am kicking myself for even engaging w/ this guy.

Guys, wake up! he is clearly right! Blah blah blah Boston College in the Big East...blah blah blahBoston College is not in the Big East, they're in the ACC...but that's okay. You forgot to mention their other signature win...a 20 point win against an 8-1 Oklahoma team. Oh...but that's right. Only Xavier can still be considered a good team with a loss.....and 2 losses come this time Thursday. Even though one of the Oklahoma wins was a 14 point win against Oral Roberts!

Sorry, was thinking about the old days of the Big East or whatever it is these days. Funny, I didn't see Oklahoma even getting any votes for top 25 but congrats on that!

I am not sure there are a lot of teams out there that would win w/out 3 starters and 45 points being available to them. Unless of course, that team is St. Louis. They obviously could do it because they are on the rise. 10-1 and still not in the top 25? Man, your schedule must suck.

Don't get mad at me for your mistake. I just think it's funny that you conveniently left out our 20 point win against a team that beat Oral Roberts by 14. St. Louis will be in the top 25 in the next week or so, but it really doesn't matter. What matters when it comes down to it is who beats who in the Conference, and St. Louis is going to beat Xavier both times.

[XUFan09]

As a St. Louis native, I've always followed SLU and I remember the last time they won a tournament game:

1998, Larry Hughes' one-and-done year

[BballFan]

I remember the last time Xavier won a tournament bid because they embarrassed the whole conference by even being there. They lost in the first round to an 11 seed by double digits!

[muskienick]

I am officially done with this toad. If he were to address all the salient points made by other posters instead of just the very few (that he distorts beyond recognition), then perhaps we could have an intelligent discourse. When he continues to speak from a perspective of heart and hope instead of intelligence and facts, then it's time to wrap it up.

Consider it wrapped.

[BballFan]

You obviously didn't follow to well because they were there in the 1999-2000 season.

[BballFan]

I would like just like to know from anyone what "salient" points have been brought up that I have not addressed.

without 3 starters and approximately 45 points of offense. Funny, how you keep leaving that out.

[BballFan]

When starting players foul out of a game you don't use the excuse...well, we would have won if our starters didn't foul out. It's part of the game...a sloppy team that fouls is not a good team, and loses games. That's what happened to Xavier. Their starters fouled out of the game. So yes...I refuse to allow you to use that excuse. Besides, Oral Robert would have won that game anyway.

That's not even close to being the same thing and you know it.

This is really pointless. I'll be back after X kicks the shit of the Billycans.

For the sake of the A-10, I hope St. Louis is decent this year. X has been carrying it for so long, we could use another decent team. Notice I didn't say elite, as that still belongs to X.

[X-band '01]

This coming from a program that, if I'm not mistaken, has a grand total of 0 appearances in the NCAA Sweet 16 in the program's lifetime. Come on, even Fordham had their day in the sun when Digger Phelps had a cup of coffee in the Bronx in the early 70s.

Your not so great mind...never mind lol.

And yes, it is the same same thing. Espn, USA today etc... agree with me. That's why Xavier plunged in the rankings. It doesn't matter though because a 22 point blow out proves that they would have beat Xavier anyway. I can't wait to get on here after we win and zip you guys up...just like Oral Roberts did. I'll be on here sooner than that though...after Long Beach State blows you out...and zips you up.

[Smails]

What a dummy. He was talking about this quote. Pay attention!

I'll be on here sooner than that though...after Long Beach State blows you out...and zips you up.

Hey kiddo, I give you credit for being scrappy but you obviously don't understand how to argue from a position of strength...and that's mainly due to the fact that there is no position of strength for SLU when discussing XU hoops. You guys have a nice little team this year and a recognizable coach...and that's about it.

You have no recent history to cite, no league success, no NCAA tourney success, no track record of putting players in the the NBA. Frankly, SLU and Charlotte have been abject failures since being brought in to the league.

XU owns SLU in every possible way....always will. While we point to A10 Championships, NCAA success, rankings, pro players...YOU come back with "I guarantee you that we'll win this year." It's weak smack at best and complete and utter nonsensical ramblings at worst.

Like I said, I give you credit for hanging in there but you're bringing a knife to a gun fight and I think you need to understand that SLU has been sucking hind tit to XU for a loooong..loooong time.

Tu hollowy:
Yo, y-yo, I'm a gangster, Where my dogs at? bark with me if your my dog. Yo, yo, yo... I'm going- I'm gonna give a shout out to all my player haters, If your a player hater don't player hate on me! I'm a gangster, I'm straight up...(straight up, gangster dude)

Grrr..... I'm steaming mad.... grrr, yeah....
I'm a gangster, I'm a straight up G,
The gangster life, is the life for me,
Slapping people by day, pushing men by night,
Being a gangster is hello tight,

Lyons is my homie, Hes a gangster too,
Me and Lyons are the leaders of the gangster crew
I like to yap my mouth, and he likes to push and slap,
Some say we're the perfect match,

Tu Holloway was suspended for one game for trash talking..however, your boy Kwamain Mitchell was suspended for an entire year for being a turd and faced sexual assault accusations...I don't think you want to be taking the moral high ground there skippy.

Say it with me....hind tit...hind tit. That's SLU's place in this league compared to XU's. Deal with it..smell the glove and suck the hind tit.

[PMI]

You do realize that four of your players gang-raped a chick correct? I guess using the word "gangsta" in a totally different context is worse than raping a girl though. There's nothing more thuggish than three pieces of shit gang-raping a girl. How can you support a program that has an active player who was part of a plot to "run a train" on a girl against her will? http://blogs.riverfronttimes.com/dailyrft/2010/11/slu_basketball_sexual_assault_kwamain_mitchell_wil lie_reed.php But I guess using the word "thug" is so much worse than living like one. It's also worse than having your fat fuck coach take a shit in a towel in front of his team. How's Willie Reed doing these days? Talk about gangsters.

St. Louis basketball has never done anything ever, you know that, right? You talking shit to Xavier fans is about as intelligent as me talking shit to Tiger Woods about being a good golfer. You're here because you know who the top dog is. You aren't on some dayton board or Fordham board, you're here. While most kids your age are out sledding during Christmas break or something, you are lurking around the message board of the team you wish yours could be even a tiny bit like. How does that feel? I wouldn't know seeing as to how I've almost forgotten what it's like not to win the A10.

So the conclusion we've come to is that Saint Louis basketball allows thug rapists on its team, is coached by an obnoxious boar, has the dumbest name in college sports, and has never accomplished anything relevant. Keep talking, bitch.

[bobbiemcgee]

Billikens have no gender
They are all eunuchs
Consequently, they have no balls and are dickless as well
However, They always find some reason to celebrate these facts.

It's part of the game...a sloppy team that fouls is not a good team, and loses games. That's what happened to Xavier. Their starters fouled out of the game. So yes...I refuse to allow you to use that excuse. Besides, Oral Robert would have won that game anyway.

How dumb is this quote, by the way? Uh, you don't use that excuse because the starters would have had to have been in the game long enough to have committed five fouls. That's just a wee bit different than them not playing a single second. You are such an idiot that you actually think you are the only one making sense in this thread, when literally everyone else is laughing at your existence here.

You conveniently focus on things like our first opening round loss in the NCAA tournament in 6 years and leave out things like how Chris Mack took his team further in the tourney in his first year as a head coach than the Billikens HAVE EVER BEEN. The only thing you keep using as your defense is something you stupidly think will happen in the future, as if it's possible for your team to sweep us. You were in diapers the last time Xavier lost a conference game at home.

Your group of stupid rapist thugs may be your best team you've ever had this year for all I know, which is truly sad and pathetic, but make no mistake about it, they are not as good as Xavier at full strength this year, and they aren't going to be any time soon. Majerus probably has about 3 years left max. That's to live, not just to coach. You guys better get working on that NCAA Championship here pretty soon.

I tried repping you, but can't. I've thought about posting this incident earlier, but didn't want to respond to this clown. You knocked it out of the park. The question is did this idiot SLU fan know about this event and choose to ignore it, or did he not know about it at all. Neither answer is good, but certainly understandable given the nonsense being spewed by the SLU fan.

[BballFan]

You didn't respond because you know it didn't happen. That's why there were no charges. No evidence, and no charges. Unlike the thugs at Xavier leaving no doubt at all. Fighting on national TV and then calling themselves a bunch of gangsters in an interview. Holloway saying "this is our city...we're a bunch of gangster...our motto is zip em up". A total embarrassment to our conference!

I'll be back on tomorrow after we win, and Xavier loses another. I wouldn't be surprised at all if this is a double digit loss...and you guys make a bunch of excuses again.

God your shit is weak as all get out. You have nothing...zip...nada. Good luck to you, your exploding coach, and merry band of rapists. You should go hang out on the Dayton board for a while to get some more experience because you got rocked on your call up from AA.

[XULucho27]

Finally, a reason to respond. Here we go, in order:


You didn't respond because you know it didn't happen. That's why there were no charges. No evidence, and no charges.

Based on the general content of your posts and consistent disregard for even the most basic use of logic and reason, I'm going to assume that your understanding of the criminal justice system, while vast because of first-hand experience, is inherently flawed. No charges filed doesn't mean a crime didn't occur; hell, it doesn't even mean that there is no evidence. Often it means that the complaining witness doesn't wish to press charges or the D.A. believes the evidence is circumstantial at best and not sufficient for a conviction. It's called prosecutorial discretion. I'd get into it but I don't want to use too many big words. The fact is that the police investigation pretty much corroborated the story of the complaining witness. So by all means keep talking about X's players being an embarrassment for the A-10. I think your team going 12-19 and having multiple players accused of rape is just a tad more embarrassing.


I'll be back on tomorrow after we win, and Xavier loses another. I wouldn't be surprised at all if this is a double digit loss...and you guys make a bunch of excuses again.

You're not the first person to try to antagonize the entire XHoops community, and trust me you won't be the last, so let me save both you and the rest of us some valuable time by breaking down just exactly how this is going to play out (keep in mind, nobody will actually give a fuck about what you say, they just respond to remind you that you are, in fact, only slightly smarter than a functionally retarded snail).

You're going to come back here tomorrow - regardless of whether we win or lose - to talk smack. If we lose and SLU wins, you'll talk about how you were right and how we're going to end up in the NIT. After that we'll get our suspended players back and we'll start winning again. During that time you'll be here every now and then to make sure you presence doesn't go unnoticed before we play SLU. When our teams actually square off you'll be here the entirety of the week talking shit. You'll make sure to pepper in some awful song lyrics (which really are so fucking lame) and keep claiming how Tu is a thug. Maybe X wins and maybe X loses the game with SLU, regardless you'll be here to say it was either exactly as you predicted, or that it was a fluke; again, nobody will really give a fuck.

The rest of the season will progress and X will, AGAIN, win the A-10 regular season crown. We'll then go into the A-10 tourney in which we'll most likely lose in the semis or finals, this team just never seems to do well in that tournament. You again, will be around talking about how a) SLU should have won the tournament; b) X is exposed as overrated because they lost to a lesser foe in the tourney; and c) how X shouldn't even be in the tournament.

It's at this point that March Madness will roll around - again I cannot stress how little your opinion, which is based on nothing but "This is the year that Majerus will finally be good" assertions, matters - with X playing a prominent role in the tourney. We will win several games. Maybe we make a Final Four; maybe we don't. The point is you will still make time to be here to say that you were right, or how we got lucky, or some other misguided trope about X. Finally the off-season will roll around. You'll never be seen or heard from again. Maybe you'll re-emerge from your cave when we play SLU again next year but for the most part you'll fade from memory with only these pages as a testament that you ever even existed. You'll realize that no matter how much you don't want it to be true, X is better in every single way than SLU. Always has been, always will be. You want it to be one way...but it's the other way.

In the last eight seasons:

X - Two Elite Eights, Three Sweet Sixteens, 11-6 Tournament Record, 2 NBA Players, Two Top 10 Rankings
SLU - Zip (In fact you have to go back 13 seasons to find more than 1 NCAA Tournament appearance).

Let me save you some time from responding. Don't. I don't give a fuck. Seriously, I really don't. You're going to respond anyway, but again, I really don't give a fuck. You'll say that if I didn't really care I wouldn't have taken the time to respond to you at all. Again, I'm trying to save you some time, don't even address this, I don't give a fuck. I may read it, but I won't respond because, frankly, I don't care what you have to say.

Your smack is weak and unoriginal. It was bad on the ESPN board (yes, I recognize the dumb rap lyrics from the ESPN board, it was stupid there, it was stupid here) which is saying a lot considering the quality and content of the posts on that board.

So, go ahead. Respond. But, try to respond without mentioning any of the following;

1 loss to Oral Roberts (we're still 8-1 and ranked with 3 starters suspended).
Majerus' experience (seriously, claiming that your team is better than ours because your coach took a DIFFERENT team to a Final Four 13 years ago is beyond sad).
Tu saying "gansta" in the press conference.
Claiming that we can't take the smack when it's directed at us.
Saying no one has made an argument. (See above, I and others have made the same one).

So while you're trolling here at 3 a.m. in between your donkey-porn breaks (yes, I've seen you at 3 a.m., and before you even ask why I was on at 3 a.m., I was writing a 35 page article that will be published in a University Law Review - I'll send you a copy) try and give a better response than any of the above. What do you have? Why are you better? Where are your All-Americans? Where is your national ranking? Where is your Top-25 recruiting class? Where is your coach with a .750 win percentage? Where are your A-10 Championships?

We'll see how big of a man you can be if things don't work out for you. Are you going to be here congratulating us if we do well? I doubt it. Trust me, if SLU does really well and represents our conference with integrity (you know by refraining from running a train on a drunk chick) I'll be the first here to give you kudos on a good season, because at the end of the day, it's just basketball, I can dish it out, and I can take it too. It's all in good fun.

Go ahead. What can you say that isn't mentioned above. Our nuts are tingling with anticipation.

Man is holding me down Lucho so public reps it is.

[BballFan]

Okay, I have an admission to make. I read the the first paragraph and part of the second, then I totally lost interest. So, I did not read all of your post. This is a message board, so you don't have to take all morning creating one long, babbling post. Perhaps in the future you could condense what you have to say, and take the advice that is in the House of Smack Rules..."And remember: Attack the post, not the poster."
That being said, I will respond to this:

No charges filed doesn't mean a crime didn't occur
What it DOES mean is that they are innocent. "Innocent until proven guilty". Not "guilty because Xavier fans say it is so".

I think your team going 12-19 and having multiple players accused of rape is just a tad more embarrassing.
Again, "Innocent until proven guilty". Not "guilty because Xavier fans say it is so". And St. Louis is 10-1 right now.

keep in mind, nobody will actually give a fuck about what you say
Okie dokie. I guess that means you don't have to take all morning making another post. :D

Finally, a reason to respond. Here we go, in order:

X - Two Elite Eights, Three Sweet Sixteens, 11-6 Tournament Record, 2 NBA Players, Two Top 10 Rankings
SLU - Zip (In fact you have to go back 13 seasons to find more than 1 NCAA Tournament appearance).


Come back when you win some NCAA tournament games or an A-10 championship of any kind.

[BballFan]

Thank you for condensing that boozehead. All I have to say to that is:

I'll sum up what I have to say in a few words also. Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past are certain to miss the present and the future.

I'll be back after Saint Louis wins...again, and Xavier loses...again. When the future becomes the present and the past no longer matter :)

Had to edit this post to address what someone said a little while back about Xavier being a 3 seed. Teams that lose to Oral Roberts will never be a 3 seed (no matter the excuse), let alone losing to Long Beach State also.

Perhaps in the future you could condense what you have to say, and take the advice that is in the House of Smack Rules..."And remember: Attack the post, not the poster."
That being said, I will respond to this:

What it DOES mean is that they are innocent. "Innocent until proven guilty". Not "guilty because Xavier fans say it is so".

Again, "Innocent until proven guilty". Not "guilty because Xavier fans say it is so". And St. Louis is 10-1 right now.

Okie dokie. I guess that means you don't have to take all morning making another post. :D

Cool. Along those "innocent until proven guilty" lines, STL is NOBODY until proven otherwise. To break it down in 6th grade talk for you (and I will attack the retard poster all I wish), until STL does something, anything to warrant its fans talking any kind of shit whatsoever, you guys can keep your mouth shut. The reason nobody here respects your opinion is because you have nothing at all to back it up. STL hasn't danced in your (albeit short) lifetime. So I'll go with the innocent until proven guilty thing, if you can agree to sit down in your place until STL wins an A10 title and makes an Elite Eight at the very least.

Hope you were able to read that whole post without losing focus. If not, I'll sum it up for you: Nobody respects you, your team, or any of the laughably weak shit you attempt to talk because we have much bigger fish to fry than some middle of the pack A10 program. Your talk is cheap when you have nothing to back it up with.

[PMI]

By the way, kid, the one loss on your schedule is to a team that is worse than ORU, like it or not. And if you want to talk about the future, let's just compare our recruiting class and potential targets compared to yours and anyone else's in the A10. The gap is very, very wide, kind of like the pants that your head coach shits himself in when he can't find a student manager spineless enough to do his dirty work.

[BballFan]

I will attack the retard poster all I wish
That's what you guys to best...in your own 6 grade talking way.

The reason nobody here respects your opinion is because you have nothing at all to back it up.
Except (as I have said before) the fact that Saint Louis is PRESENTLY 10-1 with a 20 point blow-out win against a good Oklahoma team(who once again beat Oral Roberts by double digits) to prove it's not a fluke. Their only loss came at the end of a 4 games in 6 days road stretch, so they were tired.

Nothing but more excuses from your illogical ass. You only know how to use info that conveniently backs up YOUR points, and you ignore everything else. "We beat these guys who beat these guys who beat these guys." Anyone can do that, do you understand that? Anyone can find that on their schedules. We are PRESENTLY 8-1 and in the top 15. Our one loss came with our best three players (accounting for 45 ppg) out of the game. NOBODY has beaten Xavier at anywhere near full strength yet. And yes, I can use that excuse if you get to say, "Waaah, we were tired after our road stretch." Face it, all you have to lean on is what you think will happen in the future, because as it stands now, every single person in their right mind has Xavier ahead of STL. We only get stronger after tonight too.

How does it fell to keep getting owned by Xavier fans? I imagine it feels something like STL's team has felt since it joined the A10. But you clearly love the abuse.

[BballFan]

As I said, I'll be back after the games tonight when Saint Louis goes to 11-1 and Xavier goes to 8-2. Xavier will lose tonight even with their "star gangsta" back. Quite possibly a double digit loss. The games that Xavier has won this year have been extremely close, and Xavier is lucky they are not sitting at 5-4 right now. Luck runs out, and that is what is happening to Xavier right now.

[Kahns Krazy]

This just has to be a joke, right?

So not worth my time.

[vee4xu]

I agree with Kahn's sentiments, but can't resist offering the following FACT:

Real Time RPI 12-22-11

Xavier Rated 21 with up-trend and a 52 SOS
Saint Louis Rated 49 with up-trend and a 202 SOS

Wow, says a lot about those 9 big wins.

Tonight's opponents:

Long Beach State Rated 27 and a 1 SOS

Arkansas State Rated 148 and a 101 SOS

Just facts.

[Xaviertutu52]

We're in the ACC now. Of course. You would be dumb enough to point to standings as your argument, leaving out little things like SOS, RPI, and the fact that Xavier would undoubtably be undefeated and in the top 8 right now had they not gotten in a fight with 8 seconds to go in their blowout win against uc. I know people say you're too dumb to be worth our time, but I say, F it. It's entertaining watching a retard try and hump a doorknob.

[BballFan]

Haha...you guys don't see the sarcasm in it. Who was it that was saying Xavier was above the A-10? Look up Xavier LOL!! St. Louis is on top...and will remain there. Get used to it girls!

[Xaviertutu52]

Yet both teams have a (0-0) conference record, the only way St louis will win the A-10 is if they don't have to play Xavier.

[BballFan]

Usl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kahns Krazy]

I am attracted to little boys!

That is just way too much information.

[Xaviertutu52]

Well St. Louis beat the all powerful Arkansas St. great win....in other A-10 news UMass beat Davidson, pretty good win for the A-10

Uh...don't you mean SLU? Or are you talking about United States Lacrosse?

Yes...my fingers were moving to fast when I posted it. As you can see I tried to edit it right after it was posted but it wouldn't take the change.

SLU 70
Arkansas State 46

Another 20+ win under their belt.

The more I think about it, the more I think Xavier will lose by about 14 tonight.

[BballFan]

Wanna beat Xavier? Play a zone.

[BballFan]

And I have to agree...the refs changing that from a charge to a blocking foul was wrong. Oh well...suck it up!

[BballFan]

Xavier can not play against a zone. 10 turnovers!! This just might be a blowout!

[BballFan]

It's interesting reading some of your fans comments about the game. Some of you actually get it....coach Mack is not a good coach.

Haha..if you look at ESPN home page they show Xavier already beating Hawaii 65-62. I'm actually going with Xavier in this one...but fairly close 67-61

[Cheesehead]

Once again for the slow guy. Conference play has not started, so everyone has the same record: 0-0.

Last time I checked OOC games don't count in the A-10 standings.

I'll type slower for you.

[Xaviertutu52]

You can have your fun right now St Louis, thankfully this team should be back on track by the time we face you guys. I highly doubt you will beat us at Cintas but the game in St Louis could be a very tough challenge

[BballFan]

I was just thinking...Saint Louis could easily end up with a 2 or a 3 seed. Xavier, if they get lucky and make the tournament, would be a 6 or 7 seed at best right now...with their two losses to unranked teams, and one of them being at home. I really like our chance of making the Final Four this year.

[Xaviertutu52]

HA! good story bro

[BballFan]

2 more hours to wait for Xavier's CONSOLATION game.

Long Beach State showing some good sportsmanship there. Putting their reserves in when up by 22 with 3 minutes left.

You are Xavier Hoops' version of Flyer and Tea Party for Life from over at the A-10 Board. As such, you should be pitied by many and used for comic relief by all.

Welcome to this Xavier board!

[BballFan]

Xavier's got anger issues. A technical foul over an obvious good call. What's the over under of Holloway getting into another fight before the season is over and being suspended for the season.

[BBC 08]

I hate you so much. I don't even know why I click on this thread any more.

[BballFan]

I see you guys blaming it on the refs. Come on...that is just like the oldest excuse in the books. First you lose to Oral Roberts by 22 and it's because you didn't have Holloway and Lyons. Then you get Holloway back and lose to Long Beach and blame it on not having Lyons. Now you have Holloway and Lyons back and you blame it on the refs. Go figure!

[BballFan]

No excuses now Xavier. PLOP...right out of the rankings. Thanks for making room for St. Louis there. That's the way it should be anyway! :) :)

[BballFan]

Just an FYI Xavier...the Zags beat Hawaii by 19...

Woa hawsey....one game at a time. Celebrate your big win against the salukis, and be very very proud of your 7th place finish there! After all, it WAS and 8 team tournament full of basketball's finest teams! CONGRATS XAVIER! As members of the A10, we would all like to thank you for once again representing our conference and being a total embarrassment!

Kwamaine "Run the Train" has that sewed up forever.

Is this troll being kept around for entertainment purposes or what?

[Sweet16andBust]

I have never been a fan of The Diamondhead Classic. The sheer distance it is from most of the school's headquarters and the fact that it is played during christmas break leads to a lot of teams having one bad game in Hawai'i. I think X can and will outscore St. Louis in A-10 play. I like St. Louis, it's just hard for me to fathom them getting in a shootout with the Muskies.

[Muskie]

Mostly yes. Also it is the smack forum.

I can say that Majerus is so fat he uses a handicap pass to park closer to the arena. That is a fact. He can coach basketball standing up for hours, but can't walk to an arena? That is sad. I could call that abuse of handicap parking.

[BballFan]

At least he has control of his player, and doesn't encourage his players to mouth of to the other team, their coach, their bench, and the refs. He doesn't encourage his players to start brawls.

[bobbiemcgee]

Yeah, he had control of Kwamaine the train and Willie.

[Cheesehead]

5 A-10 championships in a row. 15 Conference Championships: 8 A-10 Championships, 7 MCC Championships.

6 straight NCAA berths; 10 in past 11 years; 20 NCAA berths overall

1 of 2 non BCS schools listed in top 20 of most valuable basketball programs in D-1 basketball

[BballFan]

That's all in the past. Let's take a look at Xavier's current year accomplishments:


Started one of the most embarrassing brawls in NCAA basketball history
Has a worse record than Saint Louis this season
Lost 3 games in a row
Lost to Hawaii (LOL)
Finished 7th out of 8 in the Diamond Head Classic
barely won most of their games and are lucky they aren't 6-6 right now
Went from #8 to unranked in one week (can we say over-ranked??)
Will not win the A10 this year
Will be lucky to even get an NCAA bid this year


Like I said...Xavier is on a decline and Saint Louis is on their way up. Xavier has NEVER been in a Final Four game or beyond. Saint Louis will be there soon!

[Cheesehead]

You really don't know much about college basketball.

Rick has the big one before St. Louis makes it to a Final 4

[Xaviertutu52]

Xaviers OCC record last year was 8-5. They had an A-10 record of 15-1 and ended up going 23-6, and I also remember a Bilikens loss in those 15 conference wins. Just shows how much we DOMINATE the A-10. Don't go thinking for one second that you have a single chance at a final four, the chance is zero. I predict a double digit win at St Louis this season and possibly a 25 point win at Cintas. Like I said, no chanceat A-10, or NCAA championship

[BballFan]

You want to know why Saint Louis will beat Xavier both times this year? Well...besides the fact that they are better coached. Because their defense is better than anyone Xavier has faced. Xavier will not put up more than 60 points against them, and Saint Louis will put up at least 75.

[SlimKibbles]

Maybe if your sorry a$$ program pulled itself out of the gutter more than once every 2 decades and actually won some damn games we would not have to carry this terrible league by ourselves every freaking year. You are a moron, and we will pound you and your jacka$$ coach.

[BballFan]

Who the hell is St. Louis?

They are the team with a coach that has actually been to a Final Four game AND a National Championship game. You might no know what that is though because neither Xavier or their coach has been there. So Xavier has a past...that's all it is...a past. They are on the decline now with Mack, and St. Louis is on the rise. Get used to looking up to Saint Louis, you'll be doing it often.

[MuskiePimp23]

And Saint Louis just keeps marching on...12-1! By the way, you guys do realize that we blew out Southern Illinois on their home court by 19 don't ya...you know, the same team Xavier struggled to beat and barely squeaked by with a win.

You do know that St. Louis won at SIU when SIU was missing 2 of their key players? Davante Drinkard did not play and Kendal Brown-Surles did not play. Those two players scored 16 points against Xavier and they did not have their production against SLU. Additionally, SIU has had 4 players miss multiple games this year for various issues and they did not get back to full strength until the Diamondhead Classic. They are going to get better and surprise some people...You also realize that Xavier is still not at full strength until this Saturday. We were missing a starter and 3rd leading scorer in Dez Wells. You put all those things together and the score differential makes more sense.

If you were an intelligent college basketball fan, you would actually do some research before just throwing out score differential without any facts to back it up, but you obviously have proven that you are not smart.

[BballFan]

You sound like a Dayton fan. Paper tiger...What has SLU done? You don't start chirping even before conference play begins. We will win our 6th A-10 title in a row. You can bet on it and you will be playing in the NIT when all is said and done this year. If you sneak into the NCAA's that would be great as you would actually be helping our conference for once and for the first time you have ever joined this league. You are a sorry a$$ program with a sorry a$$ coach.

I'll give you that Brown-Surles might have made a little bit of difference, but Drinkard didn't. He was 1-7 from the field against you guys for crying out loud. You know what the difference was? It was Seck, Danielse, and Swan tearing you guys up on offense and defense!


You also realize that Xavier is still not at full strength until this Saturday.
The "not full strength" thing is old. I have seen Xavier play at full strength, and they are not that good. Xavier has squeaked by in so many games it's not funny...and it's not to good teams either.

Xavier is NOT going to win the A10 this year. Xavier will be lucky to be in the tournament!

[BballFan]

This is like arguing with a 10 year old. I think I should tell your parents that it is past your bed time so you can get off the computer. We won the game by double digits. I could care less how many we win by as long as we win. Had Xavier been at full strength we would have won by a lot more. Again, you will get your wish in playing us twice in the conference season and we will see who wins the A-10. You obviously do not know how to handle success, be it as little success as you have at this point in the season. Wait until Mid-February when you start dropping road games to crappy teams like LaSalle and then you will get your reality check.

[BballFan]

Had Xavier been at full strength we would have won by a lot more.

If I sound like a 10 year old, then you sound like a 6 year old. Xavier fans blamed the Oral Roberts loss on missing all 3 starters. They got blown out by 22 points by a horrible team...they would have lost anyway. Then, they lose to Long Beach State and blame it on Missing Lyons. Then they get Lyons back and lose to Hawaii. Then all of a sudden it's because needed Wells...he would have made all the difference. The truth is that this team never was very good. As I have said from the beginning, they are lucky to even have a winning record right now.
I know we will be playing twice. And I will be on here both times to rub it in when St. Louis wins.

...and who doesn't know how to handle success?? All you have to do is look at the actions of Lyons, Holloway, and Wells. That fight started because they didn't know how to handle success.

[Cheesehead]

You keeping bring up the PAST success of your coach but yet you claim X's success is in the past. Doesn't really make for a strong argument.

This coming from the guy that has a problem with reading comprehension. Just because I say that Gonzaga will not have a problem with Holloway or Lyons does not mean that I'm saying that that Gonzaga has good perimeter defenders. Is that Xavier's stellar education at work here? :D

[Porkopolis]

I'll let you take a peek at Xavier's all-time record and compare it to that of your beloved Billikens. The column under "NCAA Tournament" seems strangely empty on the SLU page. If you actually do something to change that this year, more power to your program. Until then, that is an awful lot of smack coming from a team that has three NCAA tournament victories all time. Xavier has had success in the last decade; Xavier has had success in the last calendar year. Please, tell me how your recent past has been?

So which is it? Do you want to live in the present or past? Oh, I see: whichever one most benefits your argument in that particular post.
What exactly are you talking about?

[Porkopolis]

What exactly are you talking about?

Read your own thread. It will be quite useful in answering the above question.

[BballFan]

Xavier's past records, past conference championships, past tournament play...doesn't help them this year. A coach that has previously coached a team to a Final Four win and National Championship game helps Saint Louis in the present.

Trust me...I already have them made. All of you will be getting a heaping helping of this when Saint Louis not only beats you, but wins the A10.

Having one of the best backcourts in the nation is pretty useful for Xavier.

When they can keep from fighting they are okay. "One of the best in the nation"? You've been drinking to much of the kool-aid that the media has made.

Oh, well that's convenient for your argument.

Xavier's past doesn't help them in the present but your coach's past does help your team in the present. Oh, I get it now. You are talking out of both sides of your mouth.

Logic & common sense be damned!

Let me put it in simple terms for dummys :)

Saint Louis has a coach that has actually coached a team to a Championship game. His skills are relevant to this seasons team.

Xavier being in the elite 8 quite a few years ago gives them no skills with this seasons team.

Xavier's coach is horrible and you guys will soon be calling for his head.

[bobbiemcgee]

Rick is so fat he got baptized @ Sea World.

[BballFan]

Who cares how fat he is. He can coach...which is something more than Mack can do.

[bobbiemcgee]

Mack has won 91% of a-10 games. try again.

You're selling Rick Majerus short - he also made it to the championship game in 2010. Granted, it was only the CBI, but that's another 2nd place banner for you guys.

"Is it really a horrible decision to run a train on a girl? Possibly. Anytime you enter into an event usually reserved for the Sexual Olympics you have to be absolutely certain that everyone is on the same page. Talk logistics, batting order, etc. The most important lesson, one that Reed and Mitchell apparently didn’t adhere to, is to ensure the girl involved is a gamer. If there is even the slightest hint of hesitation, do not pass go. Unless your coach is Tom Izzo, rape is usually met with severe consequences, even in cases as the Reed & Mitchell fiasco. And as always, make sure you have your stories straight after the deed is done."

SLU cheerleaders need to be aware of KwaTrain this year.

[Xaviertutu52]

Heres something relevant, Tu put up 25 in St Louis last year, I remember the game being very quiet, lousy fans and shitty program St Louis

[BballFan]

Heres something relevant, Tu put up 25 in St Louis last year, I remember the game being very quiet, lousy fans and shitty program St Louis

It's not relevant...that was last year. I would have to admit that Tu could have some potential but the coach he has is horrible at coaching him. The only thing I have seen from him this year that he is good at is clapping his hands and yapping his mouth. Well, that and dancing on tables. Great job coach Mack! Perhaps he should put a tu tu on him and let that be his career :D

[BballFan]

Perfect! Put a tutu on him and let him dance on the score table while he belts out the new school song:

Yo, y-yo, I'm a gangster, Where my dogs at? bark with me if your my dog. Yo, yo, yo... I'm going- I'm gonna give a shout out to all my player haters, If your a player hater don't player hate on me! I'm a gangster, I'm straight up...(straight up, gangster dude)

Grrr..... I'm steaming mad.... grrr, yeah....
I'm a gangster, I'm a straight up G,
The gangster life, is the life for me,
Slapping people by day, pushing men by night,
Being a gangster is hello tight,

Lyons is my homie, Hes a gangster too,
Me and Lyons are the leaders of the gangster crew
I like to yap my mouth, and he likes to push and slap,
Some say we're the perfect match,

[paulxu]

Who cares how fat he is. He can coach...which is something more than Mack can do.

4 years at St. Louis...32 conference wins for Majerus.

2 years at Xavier...29 conference wins for Mack.

Heck of a job Rick.

[BballFan]

4 years at St. Louis...32 conference wins for Majerus.

Some more ignorance coming from you. Majerus has taken a bad program and is making it better...12-1 so far this year.

Mack has taken a decent program and is making it worse. 9-3 so far this year with a team that he has no control over.

So yeah...good job Rick!

[paulxu]

Are things really quiet on whatever passes for the SLU message board?

Your great "coach" started 2 seniors, a junior and 2 sophs last year.
I suspect they had each played all their time in college for him (maybe somebody transfered in).
And he finished at 6-10 in the A-10; in his 4th year there.
I'm pretty sure he hasn't beaten Xavier since coming to St. Louis.
So, good luck this year. I'm not counting on you coming back anytime soon.

You're so stupid! They didn't have any seniors starting last year! Who is it that you think was a senior last year??

[BballFan]

It is gangsta you fool. Learn how to spell.

Nope it's gangster:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UknCoe697iQ

[BballFan]

It is gangsta you fool. Learn how to spell.

Let's just agree with you and say it's gangsta

Urban dictionary definition of gangsta:

A sociopathic member of the inner-city underclass, known primarily for being antisocial and uneducated. Also known for ready access to illegal drugs and weapons, and staggeringly poor marksmanship.

I think they fit that description pretty good ;)

[BballFan]

And Paulxu...just so your stupidity doesn't get lost:

Your great "coach" started 2 seniors, a junior and 2 sophs last year.

So, good luck this year. I'm not counting on you coming back anytime soon.

Who were the seniors????

[paulxu]

My bad, they were juniors last year; Conklin and Cassity.
Which means they were Rick's recruits. I guess most of the team last year (his 4th) were his recruits.
He has yet to beat Xavier while at St. Louis I think. Don't know why this year would be any different. He's .500 in the A-10. Not something to write home about unless you are Dayton.

[Davis Love III]

Rick Majerus might be a worse coach than Brian Gregory.

Sweet dude, he went to a Championship in the 90's. Has no bearing at all today. If he is such a good coach, why has he not produced an NCAA tournament appearance yet? He has been at SLU for 4 years now..

What a clowndick.

He would probably have an NCAA appearance if 2 of his stars hadn't (allegedely) raped some chick.

So yeah...good job Rick!

12-1 and SLU has a SOS of 251 per the RPI.

Xavier is 9-3 with a SOS of 95 per the RPI.

Both #'s as of 12/29.

[Xaviertutu52]

St. Louis loses to New Mexico. I thought you loved your chances at a Final Four? You have to beat New Mexico to call yourself a contender

[BballFan]

What a bunch of cry babies...you have to ban me because you can't take the crow pie I'm feeding you.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I told you so! Your team lost at home to Gonzaga with everyone back just like I said they would ! There is no excuse now. It's like I said, they were never any good. Your coach is horrible, and you are headed to the NIT! Sure, Saint Louis lost, but Xavier is still looking up to them! By the way....this one will really get you crying....I see Cincinnati is 6-0 after their fight with you. HAHAHAHA Maybe Holloway and Wells will learn to never start a fight when playing basketball from now on.

[Xaviertutu52]

conference play is about to start, like I said before this team was 8-5 going into conference play last year. This year it is 9-4, not a big difference this team dominates the conference, and St. Louis wil choke against St. Joes and probably Temple.

[BballFan]

Yea yea yea....They will dominate the conference just like you said they would beat Oral Roberts....then Long Beach...then Hawaii...then Gonzaga....

Face it, your coach is awful and you guys will realize that soon enough. Saint Louis is the best in the A10 this year!

[SlimKibbles]

I am going to have to negative rep you for this.

Fair enough. Muskie said it was the smack forum so I guess it's okay. I said he has livened up the place a little. I never said it was for good reason. I have no issues with fans of other schools that want to have a civil discussion about things. This poster has no intention of doing any of that. He's only here to annoy the piss out of everybody.

[Xaviertutu52]

Hey Bball fan! You were wrong about one thing, Gonzaga rebounded the ball well and only won by 7. You said it would be double digits

[pizza delivery]

Rick Majerus in 4+ years at SLU and in a new arena:

2007–2008 Saint Louis 16–15 7–9 9-T
2008-2009 Saint Louis 18–14 8–8 5th
2009-2010 Saint Louis 23–13 11–5 4th CBI Finals- WOW!!! FUCKING AMAZING!!
2010-2011 Saint Louis 12–19 6–10 10th-T
2011-2012 Saint Louis 12-2 0-0
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>81-63 32-32

On top of that, it's clear Majerus has never been the same since his Finals loss:


Majerus led Utah to the Final Four in 1998, eventually losing to Kentucky in the National Championship Game. He was greatly affected by the loss, and claims to be able to recite the last six minutes of play of the championship game second by second.[2]

At least he's sort of a normal, likeable guy. Wait:


While at Utah, he was known for living out of a hotel room, noting that he liked that "There’s clean towels, my bed is turned down every night and there’s a mint on my pillow, no matter what psychological or emotional crisis the maid is going through."

Living the good life:


He made the statement while watching the University of Kentucky play in the 1996 championship that if he saw the actress Ashley Judd before he went back to the hotel, he would not have to rent a pay per view movie.

So he lives by himself, in hotels, shitting in clean towels, jerking off to PPV, and avoids personal relationships in favor of the occasional candy at Motel 6. Great Rick! Well, at least he's got a chance to make a difference in young people's lives:


Majerus was known to berate and verbally abuse his players. Lance Allred, who wrote about it in his autobiography "Longshot", told of his three years at Utah and how Majerus would humiliate him, often targeting his disability--Allred being partially deaf and requiring hearing aids.

Wow, Rick, not sure if you're available, being all round and awesome and stuff on ESPN, but see... we've got this new arena going up and we've got to make a cannonball sized splash, and you're highly qualified to get us back to the 2nd round of the NIT like Souderberg did in 2004 during our peak in the A10, PLEASE RICK!!!!!WE NEED YOU!!!!!JUST STAND NEXT TO US SO WE CAN FEEL IMPORTANT!!!!

You show how truly pathetic you are when you are reaching for the "Others Receiving Votes section" with 2 lousy votes. You aren't ranked and the "Others Receiving votes section" just means you are a loser if that is what you strive for. Maybe you should hang a banner that on January 3rd you had more votes in a poll than Xavier. You won't have more on April 3rd which is when things count idiot.

Face it, your coach is awful and you guys will realize that soon enough. Saint Louis is the best in the A10 this year!"

When are you guys just going to admit that I have been right from the start? Xavier was over rated...Holloway and Lyons were over hyped...coach mack is a horrible coach and is running Xavier into the ground. Keep looking up at Saint Louis Xavier because you are going to have to get used to it :D

Awwwww sounds like someone is a little bitter. Why? Because I called your team out before you even knew who or what they were all about? Mack is a horrible coach that has no control of his players. It's just like I said a long time ago...Xavier is going to the NIT this year!

Ohhhhh...but you're wrong. Xavier was ranked 8th in the nation and undefeated. I said then that they were over rated and would not win the conference. I also said they would be playing in the NIT. All this while you and several others swore they were a final four team. Don't hate :)

No hate. But you're still.. Oh, nevermind.
