I must say, I remember doing the occasional browsing of the former sites people are referring to. I also remember reading numerous noteworthy posts by many former posters. Sadly, some posters have passed on, some chose to stop posting altogether, while others I'm assuming continue to post here under a different alas.
Some of the names of former posters that I can recall are as follows:
DawgFan, PING, GOSIU88, Hungry Saluki, MSN, SalukiBob, Haw, Badger, SalukiBacker, Bocce Bob, SalukiSlam, SEF4SIU, SalukiIllini, ChemistryDawg, UnderDawg, and numerous others that I'm sure some folks can remember.
I certainly hope that this site does not head down the path of destruction the way same the other two sites chose to travel. It would be a real shame.
Does anyone know how SalukiBob is doing?
Hey everyone, I was a member during the Saluki Talk days but did not post much, never figured I really had much important to say. I’m not even sure my name now was my name then. I really enjoy reading through these and remembering good times for the past, even if those were good times just reading, I always enjoyed it. I became a member of insider a few years ago but never posted and the coaching search had brought me back. I grew up in Marion and attended the Engineering school at SIU then moved to the sunshine state, im sure I actually know some you personally I just don’t know any of you by your online name. Thanks for the memories, I hope to post more in the future.

I saw him at the SIU-NIU football game last fall. Seemed to be doing OK.
I created the animated videos with Lowery and Lance Irvin.
"Doc Knapp let me borrow this stethoscope" and "Kevin know what he did".
I’ve been looking for those for years! Are they on YouTube?
I actually just checked last night. They do still exist. I moved them to private on YouTube years ago. I had some good chuckles rewatching them.
i’d love to be able to watch them again if you are willing to share it to the public. They were such needed humor at a tough time in our program
Here you go.
"He know what he did"
Okay that was some funny stuff, I had forgot about those. 🤣 🤣
"I'm telling them now that I'm looking for Depaul money" Oh man, what a time in Saluki Basketball.
Of course. I’m the one that requested and didn’t even see the reply with them 😂
"Gonzaga money for Gonzaga results." Yikes, that didn't turn out well.

SalukiBob still lives in my hometown, as he has done all of his life except for the years he attended SIU. I go all the way back to the 1960s with him as our fathers taught together at the same high school in the same department (Bob is 11 years older than me, I think). We still stay in touch with occasional emails and I hope to see him if I'm able to go back up north this summer.
I used to really like the player chart breaking down their years on the team and their remaining years. That’s a thing of the past.
