They don't, really. He went on their podcast the other day (before he got scooped by the Collegian AND JOC/Bernie) and sounded like a fool.
@ SLU - Friday 7pm on The Deuce
- Thread starter SFspidur
- Start date
They actually do. I've listened to their own TV announcers refer to them that way.
OK Cool, Hook 'em. He still sounded like a fool using it two dozen times in a 20 minute podcast segment.
In addition to saying he was as big as JOC in the Richmond market.
Hours later, JOC drops the Bernie interview, and he didn't have a SLU about any of it.
Then that night, the Collegian scoops him on what really went down.

Dogg is right. Sherod sounds like a coach on this episode. Based on this, I guess the players are getting a basketball education, but unfortunately it doesn’t turn into wins.
Nick rightly points out the focus now has to be singular - winning the A10 tournament, which should have always been one of two goals at the beginning of the season, the other being to finish first in the regular season. Instead you have a coach that is coaching scared and doesn’t develop his team to be its best at the end of the season. Why are Duke, UNC, and Michigan St all of the sudden winning? It is because all of those teams have coaches that are preparing their teams for the final stretch. You bet they are going to get into the tournament because they are going to be among the best teams playing at the end of the season. They aren’t looking for at large bids, they are looking to win conference tournaments.
The fact is CM doesn’t belong in the A10 and is grossly overpaid by the athletics department for the results he has produced. Most “investors” would have dumped this stock a long time ago; however, I guess the plan was “buy and hold” and there is no need for a return. The most depressing thing is that last year was so promising and the team showed real progress. Everyone expected the Spiders to build on a solid base. Instead the team regressed, UR got embarrassed by its poor Covid protocols and its AD managed to sour relations with the commissioner’s office. One WHALE of a season.
Yes I am still rooting for UR and will watch the games. Expectations are low. Maybe they can catch lighting in a bottle. Good luck Spiders, you definitely need it.
He has a high impression of himself, but in this case he was right. Though I agree that it's a little obnoxious to only refer to them that way.
Listened to the podcast tonight. Biggest takeaway is that the thing this team might missing the most from Nick being out is his leadership. I don't get the sense that the other seniors come close to him in that category.
Not sure why the pushback on Noah using "SLU"...it's pretty much the universal shorthand name in conversation among people familiar with the school. Don't see how it's obnoxious in any way...their initials just happen to be easily pronounceable that's not easily confused in conversation, so it's faster to say than spelling out the letters.
So Native, I like your analogy about the CM investors. If we were day traders we would be the bag holders. Our admin has diamond hands. Some times you have to cut losses, but we keep letting the stock sink, hoping the trend will miraculously change.
