2007 Saint Louis Billikens Part II.

On Sundays I promised my wife that I would not swear but this $hit beats the F***ing hell out of me. A Fresh getting married Tom I'm with you on this one..... Dan or Sorbes must have been recruiting out of a White Trash Trailer Park NOT Pizza Hut Park, Uhhhh... I can't think right now..... I'm so so so pi$$ed. Here I am justifying to my girl why I'm cutting checks to SLU and this type of $hit comes up. There was talk of this but I really did not want to believe...

No practice today

Sweetin is doing good

Jimmy is/was sore

That all I know.... Let me guess Herd is going to Honeymoon in Florida on SLU's nickel....... This is a embarrassment to the program and every former and current SLU student. Think what the players are saying and thinking??

 

Chill out guys. The "report" was what I heard from another freshman. No telling if he's got the right info or not; freshman are very prone to making mistakes ya know.

 

No kidding. The players look at this forum and are probably laughing at the responses right now. Let's give Doogie the benefit of a doubt before jumping to conclusions.

 

Well boys it's for real Herd did get married don't expect an announcement from SLU that's all I will say

 

Just want to say I am so g-ddamn glad college soccer is starting.

 

Will his wife be there?

 

Finally, some peace and quiet in my house!

 

I really don't feel like finding the link, but SLU was ranked 22 in the NSCAA preseason poll.

 

thanks for letting me read your blog. fun stuff. this is my first post.

anyone know who won the game today?

also, anyone use gametracker? is it good quality?

Gawds, maybe SLU should be more aggressive in birth control education. that would be a good way to spend some recruiting dollars.

 

USF Blanks St. Louis 2-0

Release: 08/21/2007


TAMPA, Fla. – Capitalizing twice on the opposing keeper being out of position, the University of South Florida men’s soccer team defeated the University of St. Louis 2-0 in exhibition play, Tuesday night at the USF Soccer Stadium.

The win marks the second for the Bulls in as many years over St. Louis in preseason play. USF defeated the Billikens on the road last year by a 2-0 margin as well. In that contest, St. Louis carried a No. 25 preseason ranking. This season the Billikens are ranked as high as No. 19.

The Bulls recorded the first goal at the 39’ of the first half after St. Louis goalie Ross Kaufman was drawn out of position on a high bouncer at the top of the box. Midfielder Jason Devenish waited as the ball deflected off a Billikens’ defender to where he was positioned at the top-left of the box. After briefly settling the ball, Devenish fired a shot with his left foot that reached the back of the net for the unassisted goal and his first of the preseason.

The second goal came at the 62’, as newcomers Tony Taylor and Marshall Schultz combined for the score. Schultz nailed a shot from the outside-center of the box, which substituted keeper Pat Disbennett misplayed, and Taylor easily put away as the St. Louis goalie tried to scramble back into position.

The Bulls and Billikens each recorded seven shots in the contest, with two each being on goal. USF keeper Diego Restrepo tallied the two saves and newcomer Jeff Attinella preserved the shutout for the final 17 minutes of the match.

With the win, USF improves to 2-0-0 in exhibition play this year, while St. Louis drops to 0-1-0. The Bulls have outscored opponents 4-0 in the two victories.

The Bulls will look to keep the good fortune going this Saturday as they head to Charlottesville, Va., for perhaps their toughest test of the preseason. USF will face-off against preseason No. 5 UVA at 7 p.m. from Klockner Stadium. The Cavaliers only exhibition match thus far against Virginia Commonwealth was cancelled due to weather on Sun., Aug. 19.

Honeymoon-itis or morning sickness will work for Tom

This is the one loss that Tom was talking about...

Sounds like a continuation of last year: Poor goal keeping and the total lack of anybody being able to bury the ball in the back of the net.

 

Does soccertom's record include pre-season or is it just the regular season? Honestly, I do really care either way. Preseason is just preseason...just a warmup until the real start of games. I place very little emphasis upon these games. Even the new forward from New Mexico did not play...any ideas why?

 

Exactly. This is an exhibition. We need to know where our depth on the bench is; we already know the main starters so why play them too much? Love to know who played where and when.
