Nebraska looks to be on SLU’s hoop schedule

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Indications are that one of the new teams on SLU’s schedule this season will be Nebraska in a home-and-home series that will start in Lincoln this year shortly before Thanksgiving. Nebraska was 20-13 last season and reached the second round of the NIT. Five of the top six players from that team are back, but not the team’s leading scorer.

Nebraska would come to SLU in the 2009-10 season. SLU hasn’t played Nebraska since the opener of the 1990 season.

Unless a big name is a late arrival on the schedule, Nebraska, Boston College and DePaul would be the only BCS conference teams on the schedule.

Others known to be on the schedule are Detroit Mercy, Southern Illinois, Kent State, DePaul (at a tournament in Las Vegas) and either Creighton or Fresno State. DePaul’s schedule doesn’t say they’re playing SLU, but the website for the tournament, as a previous poster has pointed out, says SLU will play DePaul. There will be the closed-door scrimmage vs. Memphis at Chaifetz and an exhibition game against Harris-Stowe, which would be making the world’s shortest road trip.

The entire schedule apparently isn’t complete, but should be soon. (As if I haven’t written that before.) A lot of schools haven’t released their nonconference schedules yet (Missouri, for instance). The Atlantic 10 schedule could be out soon.

Frenso State? I thought it was Fresno State. You got a journalism degree from where?

Fixed that typo. And, for the record, I don’t have a journalism degree. Mine is in economics.

Well I guess there’s hope for all of us amateur journalists who got B.A.’s in poli sci from SLU.

Now that we have Tom’s background squared away, let’s go back to yours, Metz:

Where did you learn your manners?

Since Steve is recording IP addresses now, this is what you get. You take things way too seriously. First Chris May’s job is a “Witness Protection” one, now this? You are all idiots.

To paraphrase Justin Timberlake, I’m going to make you go “Bye Bye Bye.” See you at the Chaifetz.

Hop in the car and go with me
You don’t have to pack everything
Don’t you wanna feel the breeze?
And forget everything, baby
Hop in the car and go with me
You don’t have to pack everything
Don’t you wanna feel the breeze?
And forget everything baby

Got laid off at your job today
You’ve been working at this place for years
And though you were underpaid
Mommy that place isn’t worth your tears
(Oh, oh)

I know that life is hard on you
And you can’t seem to find out why
I’ll explain, just grab your coat, girl
And just join me on this ride

Let’s take a ride, on the country side
Let’s just get away
We can spend the night, till the morning light
Let’s just get away…

Girl you’re the best
You could be
An angel among society
But you get crushed
From what you see
You try to hard to help and that’s enough for me
(Woo..)

Try to change what you can
And accept all the things that you cannot
(Don’t stress yourself baby)
I know you wanna fly away from the world
But for now with the time we’ve got

Let’s take a ride, on the country side
Let’s just get away
We can spend the night, till the morning light
Let’s just get away

Let’s take a ride, on the country side
Let’s just get away
(Let’s just get away)
We can spend the night, till the morning light
Let’s just get away
(Let’s just get away)

Maybe if you consider us just riding
That once you feel like a winner
No more crying
And baby I know just what you need
(I know)
To let your hair down so that you feel free, yea
(Hair, yea yea yea)

It hurts me to watch you sing the blues
(It hurts me baby)
Girl you’re so confused
(Let’s get away)
And I know what to do

Let’s take a ride, on the country side
Let’s just get away
(Let’s just get away)
(Let’s go, girl)
We can spend the night, till the morning light
(Night)
Let’s just get away
(Let’s just get away)

Let’s take a ride
Hop in the car and go with me
You don’t have to pack everything
Don’t you wanna feel the breeze?
And forget everything, baby
(Let’s take a ride)
Hop in the car and go with me
You don’t have to pack everything
Don’t you wanna feel the breeze?
And forget everything, baby (x2)

Let’s take a ride
Let’s go girl
Let’s go girl
Let’s go girl
