MBB: St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[pitbull]

Yeah!!! lets go to carneyville and watch the SLIAC tourney.
Why do the Cornfed crazies come on here and think they are authorities on basketball. I guess when you go to such a boring school and have to clean dishes thats all you have to do. Plus your president doesn't even want you to win...look at how they support your athletic programs. Why would you want to go to a school where they don't care about sports. Why play for that place.

My predictions

Maryville over Blackburn

[hopefan]

Beaver SID  -  thanks for your attempt at addressing my points  -  Wish I could have chatted with you last night - maybe we can say hi on Thursday

Pitbull  -  grow up, your negative post is not called for, nor appreciated by this Maryville fan.

Crazies  -  I continue to give you props - I've been telling everyone how I got "called out"  at halftime

Dynasty22 - XL 

FCnews, wait'll next year, eh?

[dynasty22]

Pitbull - It's okay, I understand why you don't want to come to the Beaver Dome.
If I were you I'd be scared and intimidated too...it happens.
I don't even know what school you go to or if your team is in the tourney or maybe you are just a little kid tryin to act tough behind a screen name on your home computer.
We are a school of less then 600 kids but yet we still have some of the best talent in the SLIAC, so we must be doin something right.

Maybe I should consider transfering to Maryville, oh wait no nevermind, their idea of fun is making racial comments and heckling women.
Real mature,pal.
I don't care about the Championship game, I care about our 1st game against West-Minister, which can't be overlooked.
So best of luck to everyone but most of all to the BC Beavers.
Lets make it two years running boys!

Hopefan - next year is just, no I'm not ready to count the days just yet. But, definately looking forword to it. Need a quick point guard, that's a must, McCoy is a off guard forced to play point and it showed last nite. Like Coach Knight said he dribbled the leather off that one. Our kids really need to mature mentally, they are just kids and this season will help.

I have a question for you cause I value your opinion. Three plays in the first half (these would not change out come) involving Sheppard twice and Kirkpatrick once. If an offensive player is set (for like 5 seconds) in a screen, and the defense does not call out screen, and the defensive player runs full blast into a screen set by a 6'5 240 solid body, there will be some contact. But, if the offensive player has his arms at his side cupping his pride is this an illegal screen. This has been called against FU more times this year then I can ever remember. Just wanted your take on those calls.

Congrats to the Blackburn Beavers. You got the job done.

[Beaver_SID]

Yes, come to Carlinville. Judging by the quality of your overall rude, racist, and ignorant fans as seen in the BC vs. MU game at Maryville we would gladly take the Blackburn enviroment over a degrading contest in the presence of Maryville's fans.Why do spoiled city kids think they are NBA managers when their Mothers and Fathers are still paying their way through college. I guess all they have to do is try and downplay another schools facilities and staff.  The fact of the matter is that even though our guys dont have the state-of-the-art fitness center, they still compete and excel daily against the newer more modern colleges in the SLIAC.

My predictions BC over MU!

[hopefan]

Wow Blackburn SID, I guess I got taken - it's obvious from the quality of your 2nd post that you could not be affiliated with Blackburn's public relations  --hey dynasty, tone this guy down!!!!

Seriously, we've got a good thing going in this room, why let it degrade???  So now both Blackburn SID and pitbull need a timeout

[Beaver_SID]

FCNEWS,

I saw the screen call in which you are speaking of, and I agree that was the wrong call. FU's man was set up and in perfect position, a clean screen. All I can say for the officiating last night that both teams found their share of bad calls, and I congratulate FU's men on a hard fought game with a nerving fight to get back in it in the end. Congrats FU.

[hopefan]

FC, I specifly remember one of the plays you are referring to - Kirk was solid, didn't lean, had his hands down and his elbows in  -  I thought a poor call.   Size shouldn't matter.

I am a studentworker from Blackburn like all the rest and I do take things personally when our establishment is under fire by someone on the outside, I do not think this way about all MU fans but for those of you that were there you know what Im talking about. I apologze to those on the outside of the regarding situation that makes the last post seem outlandish.

[pitbull]

What I can't state my opinions or predictions. I think we have a double standard here. The inbred crazies can come on here and bagger our players during the games yet everyone thinks its cute. But if I voice my opinion I am told I'm immature.

I'm not from Maryville...I follow Fontbonne basketball. Now I bet you inbred crazies are going to spout about enjoyin our offseason, etc. Like the chants I heard last night...real classy guys.

As far as support at Blackburn for athletics..Give me a break. Look at the facilities thats proof right there that the school doesn't support its programs. Come on look at how they fired and treated Joe Ramsey the long time bball/AD last year. Thats a great group of people I would want to send my kid too. I'm at the game last night and hear people talking about the head football coach stepping down because they screwed him on coaching positions. What support

[Beaver_SID]

Pittbull,

In no way was your post an expression of opinions. It was a clear attack and downgradement of the way our school is managed and funded. So please dont take an innocent road now, its childish. You said what you felt so stick to it, you feel as though the student body at BC is nothing but rural area students that fornicate with their family, really classy right there. Just because our programs are underfunded you imply that they are bad programs, as i stated before even with the lack of funding BC still competes and excels in the SLIAC.

[fcnews]

I think we can all agree that it's not the perfect venue. But, sixteen years ago FU was a school of 400 with no sports and playing home games at the Concordia Univ. "Quazi Hut". Let's give the Beavers their rewards for earning a chance to host. Hope and counted last nite and you might squeeze 350 fans in there and it will be a crazy place.

What the conference will lose is the nuetral fan who would like to see the games. I for one will not make the trip knowing I may only get to see one game and maybe stand in the cold. But, that's OK. We didn't earn the right for me to get a gate pass.

Let's hope that future tourneys "will" be at a site where the casual fan may get a chance to see our conference's finest. That's how our fan base will grow.

I beleive Blackburns homecourt advantage is more in the quality of lighting then the overall size. The Visitors end is extremely dark. This is something that can be changed without a great cost to the school.

[hopefan]

I think I'll step aside and let you fight this battle, BC SID.  Just keep in mind that bulldog brower here says he's not from Maryville....  FCnews, maybe I ought to sic you on this guy  

[WebsterWatcher]

Im not going to say any school is perfect, including my own, but how dare anyone from blackburn complain about racist comments. I heard cat calls of "Darkness, Charlie Murphy" refering to the Chappell Show about some of the young men for webster. Look at your own crowd when passing out judgments first.

[yjacklok]

how nice to have somone else recognize the lighting issue at the Beaver Dome. For me the question is not one of having one end of the court better lit than the other, because each team plays 20 minutes at each end of the floor. It's just a matter of the overall quality of the lighting, which should not be that costly or difficult to rectify.
