We haven’t played them since losing that 1st round NCAA game? Hard to believe that was 10 years ago

Rick Majerus has been gone 8 or 9 years now I think.

Yes that’s how I meant it. I think he was in his early 60s when he passed

Was he the funny guy who always referred to offense as “oh-fence”?

And desecrated a towel.

I can't believe this game didn't get picked up by ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU. Hell even CBS Sports would have been nice. My ESPN+ connection sucks donkey dick...

Here's a wild thought....hear me out....you could actually get off your butt and go to the game. Crazy suggestion I know.

Yeah, Tulsa and Oregon State was on ESPNU last night. Tonight ESPN and ESPN2 are showing college football. ESPNU is showing Bowling Green at Miami (Ohio).

Yes. That's how he pronounced the word. He also, as I recall, often referred to Memphis as "Memphis State."

Apparently, his primary residences were hotels.

I always liked RM.

I have been very pleased with my ESPN+ but I live in Florida. It took me a while to get used to it with having to have a password and log in to get connected and then to scroll through and find the program I am looking to watch. Having to type in all of the information it ask for is a hassle sometimes.

Majerus always had health problems. When he was at Utah he had a septuple bypass. He was a great coach though and thoroughly schooled Pastner.

I think St Louis will keep it close in the first half but our press will eventually wear them out.

That being said, it would be nice if we began the beatdown from the opening tip and never let up.
