Why do SLU haters go out of their way to come to the SLU blog just to post obnoxious statements? Clearly SLU has a long way to go before they compare to Mizzou or Illinois in basketball. Everyone knows that. If Majerus gets us there, then you can come trash talk. Until then, buzz off.

SLU is not a 'real' college anyway. They don't even have a football team. I will just stick to the Mizzou and Illinois teams. At least those schools are 'real.'

Majerus has been there long enough. Why no results? Anderson at Mizzou has accomplished more in same amount of time. Thought Majerus' high profile was gonna put SLU on map? Well?

Growing the fan base - youngest team in D1 - maybe people are a little bit better informed than in times long gone! The jovial, quick witted fun guy of yore may have been able to bully his way around, but no more. Today's top players aren't the 4 years + the redshirt of Majerus' heyday. 1 and done - maybe 2 years - or as Mr. Bogut's current playmaker - HS to Euro to the NBA.

Enjoy the obvious. Be happy Al Jensen is on staff to buffer the onery SOB, and if you're in the late night restaurant business - go ahead and buy the cabin on the lake.

Billiken Ball vs. foot in the mouth - I'd be more likely to grow the fan base of Academic Excellence than contemplate big time Basketball.

CHICAGO -- Andrew Bogut made several things clear Friday: He could see himself playing for Milwaukee or Atlanta next season.

For that matter, he can see, period. He is not in danger of losing his eyesight.

If that seems like a strange statement, well, consider that former Utah coach Rick Majerus reportedly told NBA executives a few weeks ago that Bogut has a degenerative eye disease. So besides the usual questions about his background, his strengths and weaknesses, the 7-foot Australian center from Utah found himself discussing his eyesight and his former coach during a predraft news conference.

Bogut, who did not get along well with Majerus, said he hasn't spoken with his former coach since the rumor circulated. And when asked about his relationship with Majerus, Bogut responded tersely: "Fine."

The same goes for his eyesight. It's fine, Bogut said.

"If every person who wears a contact lens in the United States has a degenerative eye disorder, I think you'd have a lot of sick people," he said. "I'm not going to go blind in two years, mate."

Besides reportedly spreading that rumor about Bogut's eyesight, Majerus told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel that North Carolina forward Marvin Williams will be the best player in the draft. Is the former Utah coach crashing Bogut's stock?

"Not really," Bogut said. "I think if people believe the rumors that are floating around, that's up to them. But I know it's not true. There are no problems between me and him. I don't have a degenerative eye disorder."

Bogut said the rumor doesn't bother him, and if the Bucks pass on him because of that, it would be "their loss."

"I'd already be going blind if I had it...
