OK.... It is time to get on the bandwagon. It is past time. I do not know what my Billikins. Rick Majerus came here three years ago and everyone thought... well this is weird. We built a new arena named after a Jewish guy who SLU graduated who donated a shit load of money and everyone thought...well that is weird too. They sold seats in the new arena and priced marginally unsuccessful season ticket holders like myself (19 years) out of the market and some of us...well that is not weird but it sucks. Majerus played with the kids recruited by his presecessor and frankly did pretty well. 16-15 and 18-14... not too bad.Now he has a team where the oldest players are 2nd years and the majority of the team is Freshman and they are at 18 wins and tonight are playing against the best team in the Atlantic Ten for their 19th win and the future appears to be here. As I type my Bills are down by 9 to Xavier. We might not get in the NCAA if we do not win the A-10 tournament but what an awesome job Majerus has done building a team at an academically rigorous, urban, Jesuit school in St. Louis Missouri.
Next year should be awesome but this year has already been really unbelievable. They might make the tournament and if they do not they are surely in the N.I.T. and they are so young. they are still making stupid young mistakes and they are still dominating the best mid major conference in all the land when they play at home and are more then holding their own on the road.I am ready to get some people together and invest in tickets agin next year. Get on the bandwagon. Have your people call my people.
