SIU has the most bitter and sarcastic message board posters in the league. It's more amusing if you read each post aloud as an aging French whore, smoking an unfiltered cigarette while looking vacantly out the window on rainy cobblestones.

Five years ago today, we were 1-4 and working on a four-game losing streak in a Horizon League that had just lost Butler.


And now we’re tied for first in a conference where every team currently has a better RPI than U of Illinois. I’d say that progress (for us, not the Illini).


BAM!!

We hit our shots--no question BUT we Dis have tee many toonovers !! Must cut down on those for sure against VALPO !! They will be tough but can be had.

We are a fine team and is proving it-- PM is a darn good coach.

The Students really showed up !!

Yep. I sort of equate it to how we were feeling about Whitesell at the end. While the program improved overall from where it was, it doesn’t feel like it’ll get any better than this. Only they’re a larger, angrier, and louder fan base, who have tasted real success a lot more recently than we had, and they aren’t as patient (?) as we were to build the program

Really really nice turnout by the students! They're still not very engaged... very little chanting... very little cheering... etc. I am NOT complaining, it is soooo nice to see so many bodies in the Joe. I'm typically not the type of person that likes to bring up the negative but another tweet after the game from Mr. Avery showing his frustration.

Go Ramblers!!! This is sooooo much fun to watch!!!

Nice touch by LU having Wayne Messmer sing the anthem. I know he does this once or twice per season, but I still really enjoy it. He also posed for a picture and signed an autograph for my son before the game and was VERY VERY nice to him! I also noticed that Mr. Messmer stayed for at least the first half of the game.

But did you read the 388 pages of "The Cheetos Club of America Fire Barry Hinson Thread"? Their frustration has been growing for some time now.

I like the troll calling us a third rate Horizon team.

Well I enjoyed the win and the energy in the building....but when was the last time the Ramblers seemed to intentionally get the ball up court at an extremely fast pace? I wonder if they have changed overall philosophy or if this was a one time thing based on scouting the Salukis????? It was fun till they started going down court like a car with 3 wheels........20 turnovers yesterday....for both teams...It was a sloppy game.....I did notice when Jackson and Kurtwig are in together...they have a different double high post pick n roll offense with the picker diving low and the other center going high. I am hoping we see this more often...as it gives us a high scoring offense and lets us maximize Jackson and Krutwig...
