Jimerson, SLU Gets Revenge on Bonnies 57-56, Prepares to Face Davidson on Saturday

Deep Breath Let’s Put the Travis Ford Era in Perspective

Losing to UMass and giving up 91 points in the process is a bad, bad loss for Travis Ford and SLU. There’s no way around it and no one is really saying otherwise. However, the loss brought out calls from a small minority of SLU fans for Travis Ford’s firing. To put it bluntly, such …

First, apologies for not writing as much so far this year. Turns out law school is both difficult and time-consuming, but I’m hoping I can get back to writing more consistently as conference play continues, especially since I suspect I am a better writer than I am a tweeter, frankly.
