Remember when Nancy Pelosi said about Obamacare:
"We have to pass it, to find out what's in it".
A physician called into a radio show and said:
"That's the definition of a stool sample."-
That's the "all-important Chicago TV market," im4.
Anyway, good for Loyola. They got a little lucky -- you can't really count on shots like Ingram's that got them out of the first round, but he hit it, a reminder that end-of-game plays look much better when your guys hit the shots they take; and then they drew #7 and #9 the second weekend (vs., for example, the Shocks five years ago when they had to beat #1 to get to the second weekend and then #2 to get to the Final Four).
But luck only carries you so far unless you capitalize on it, and that they did. Plus, they apparently gave K-State a good solid pounding. So kudos and all the best to them the rest of the way. They got their opportunity, which is all you can ask, and they've run with it, unlike another team we all know and love.

Evansville hired Matt Graves and Todd Lickliter as assistants. There was a time when either of them would've been great hires for the HC job.Comment

Tommy Bell is being replaced, effective immediately, as the AD at Southern Illinois. Hmmm...did he get too big for his britches? Or was it that he wasn't big enough for his britches? Hmmm...
Of local note, Cheney native Jerry Kill, a former football coach at SIU, is taking over in that role.78-65Comment

It also seems that the (former) AD was asking for identification of certain posters on the message board. I wish I had gone to their message board in its final days. The appearance that's been created is that the (former) AD took on Barry and the message board and lost.The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.

Not quite. 98% of that message board want(ed) Hinson gone, including the admins. It's a very weird deal, but as always with salukitalk, it was fantastic entertainment.Originally posted by Aargh View PostComment

This is from May. I just ran across it and didn't see it posted.
SIU's athletic department is $26 mill in debt and hemorrhaging cash at a rate approaching $3 mill a year. Half their athletic budget comes from student fees. Not in the article, but enrollment is way down at SIU and they enrolled less than 1,000 Fr this year (I did not fact check this, multiple sources "looked legitimate".)
Scroll down a ways and there's an interesting graphic. It shows Net Gain/Loss for some MVC schools in 2015-'16 (Including WSU). Not surprising many schools (and fans) and probably Elgin were happy to see WSU leave the conference

This should take care of it:
“One of the things we added this year was the sale of beer and wine at athletic events, hoping that we could generate some new revenue and try to close the gap that way,” Scally said. -
I feel bad for the Ugly Dawgs. There was a time when I hated them with a passion. Some of the hate was born out of fear. Very cocky bunch those kids were when they came to Koch Arena. Manhandled is an understatement.

SIU was great because they got a bunch tough, nasty warriors who played with so much grit. Darren Brooks, Randall Falker, Jamaal Tatum, cats like that...
Then, because of said success, they seemed to get players who were more talented but didn't have the same toughness. Thus, it went downhill quickly. I remember a early-season tournament when SIU played Duke in 2008ish. I remember thinking, "No way does SIU get away with all the crap they normally do in this game. They'll get called for 7,000 fouls."

Aargh, I've seen that sub-1000 incoming students number a few places as well. SIU enrollment has been in decline since 1991. They are only half the size now that they were then.
SIUC enrollment drops 12 percent
I've read concerns that their medical programs will get moved to the Edwardsville campus, effectively neutering the Carbondale campus.Enrollment is continuing a steep decline at Southern Illinois University’s Carbondale campus, with nearly 12 percent fewer students this fall semester.
The drop to 12,817 students in 2018 follows enrollment declines of 7.5 percent in 2016 and 9 percent in 2017. The Southern Illinoisan reports the Carbondale enrollment about half of its 1991 peak of 24,869 students.
The university’s Edwardsville campus reported a 3.7 percent enrollment drop to 13,281 students.
The Carbondale campus saw a nearly 20-percent smaller incoming class.Comment

And to think I always thought that SIU-E was the little brother satellite campus. Those enrollment drops are a massive problem.
Strange days in the SIU system.Comment
