Coaches' Luncheon in Chicago

[warriorchick]

Anyone planning on going?

https://muconnect.marquette.edu/events--reunions/registration/2014-chicago-coaches-luncheon-092414?srctid=1&erid=9552699&trid=b4b9c345-2906-442f-a11f-5be6cd4f42ec

Since I am working in the Loop now, I thought I might swing by.

Also, they are accepting questions in advance to ask the coaches.  Anyone have one they want me to submit?

I used to go every year, lots of fun in the pre TC era. It's a small nit to pick because the tickets are inexpensive, but how a single ticket is 30% LESS expensive (per ticket) than 10 tickets purchased together is beyond me. Single $35, table for 10 $500. Maybe you can get 20 tickets for $1500 - very odd.

I'll ring up Wojo and see if he can get me the Amtrak schedule, hey?

- $35 per person
- $500 for table of 10 (includes $150 donation split between the Marquette Club of Chicago Endowed Scholarship and the Blue & Gold

Take out the $150 donation and it's the same price

MUBB doesn't have that kinda money, no way the coaches are sitting anywhere but the cheapest seats.

Yes Daniel, I know the add on is classified as a "donation", but whatever you call it have you ever heard of any business that tacks on an EXTRA 30% for buying 10 of something rather than 1?

I still have not recovered from the first KO lunch I attended in 1989 or 1990, when, among other things, he called out a player (I think Mark Anglavar) for being "the dumbest person he had ever met" - but in more colorful language and with examples.  Zoiks.

Sure, but Anglavar's response gave O'Neill the what-for: "Oh yeah? You're the dumbest! And a doody-head!"

Legs, those lunches when KO was coach were great theatre - hilarious stuff. Afterwards we would adjourn into the main bar at the Como Inn and drink the afternoon away talking hoops with Bill Jauss, Skip Mylenski and sometime Bill Gleason.

That couldn't happen now because the reporters would immediately have to tweet, blog and post video.

KO was a great human being.....imagine if another coach had done that......I know he treated his wife in a great way.

You won't criticize murderers or rapists, their legit with you because they think some book or voice in their head or whatever told them to do it but you can't wait to sneak into KO's bedroom and start lobbing grenades. Priceless.

I can't imagine what other coach you might be referencing.  Do you know if the other coach treats his wife in a great way?

What the F are you talking about?  I will criticize murderers and rapists without problem.  I criticized your boy Buzz for having sexual assaulters on his team.  I criticized the ahole that killed Foley.  I criticized the dickheads that murdered my sister's boyfriend two decades ago.  I criticize murderers and rapists all the time....I'd like to see them cooked alive, but not before their balls are castrated slowly first....I realize that doesn't square with many people here that would like to see them get 3 squares and a cot.

So what the F you are talking about I have no idea. 

[ChicosBailBonds]

He's dead?!  

I didn't think that needed to be in teal.... but I did laugh at your post.  

He's an a$$hole's a$$shole, which is why two of the bigger pretty boy's on this board love him....to no one's surprise.  He was a horrific husband, a public drunk and who did things in public that were an absolute joke for a Catholic university, thank God for no cell phones with cameras back then.  He wore out his welcome in Tennessee, Northwestern, Toronto, Arizona, USC.  He is what he is.  He was the right guy to turn a program that was on the brink of going Loyola forever, that's his niche.  As he approaches 60, he has matured to a degree, which wasn't very hard considering where he was.

So what the F you are talking about I have no idea. 

Here's what the F I'm talking about - concerning the murders, rapists, etc., of ISIS, you wrote:

"Thing is, the followers of ISIS believe what they are doing is every bit as noble and anyone dying for their cause... is a martyr, as well."

I replied: "And if you're consistent in what you preach, we have no right to criticize their deeply held religious beliefs. I (and most others) differ. Call me judgemental - I'll wear that mantle proudly while you stick up for the maniacs."

Then you wrote: "That's why I DIDN"T criticize it...the act is heinous, IN MY OPINION and BASED ON MY UPBRINGING."

So, based on what you've written, you detest and judge KO for his alcoholism but see the whole ISIS thing as a gray area, a matter of opinion based on upbringing. I disagree.

Seriously, Coaches' Luncheon to murderers and rapists?  Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell are happy about this turn of events.

Let me start out by saying I can't imagine a bigger douchebag on the planet right now then you for saying I am sticking up for these people. Truly, there isn't enough Summer's Eve product in all of the Chicagoland area that can compete with what you have in your body.

What's further amazing is how you conveniently didn't include my entire posts, or the very first post in that thread, the Eve is flowing strong in you in the last 18 hours.

I said "There is incomprehensive evil in this world"....that sure sounds like I'm sticking up for these people.

If you had an ounce of grey matter between your legs, because clearly the one on your neck no longer functions, you would note what I said in totality.  "Thing is, those followers of ISIS, etc, believe what they are doing is every bit as noble and anyone dying for their cause...is a martyr, as well.
Crazy world"

I said it is a crazy world, I wasn't condoning it at all.   These people think what they are doing is righteous, that doesn't mean I think it is righteous or that anyone else does, but these fanatics think what they are doing makes them martyrs.  Maybe that's why I used the words "THEY", not I.  Most Muslims I know, find the actions of these people disgusting and beyond words.  They are sickened by these people and disturbed that their religion gets lumped in because of the actions of crazy people.   

Funny how you left out so much of the post....which of course you did AGAIN in the next post.  What I actually said in totality,

"That's why I didn't criticize it.  I said it's a crazy world.  I work with a number of Muslims, took a number of Islam courses at MU and KU as part of my minor and Masters degree.  Some wonderful people.  Unfortunately, religious fanaticism from any group, any religion can lead to some behaviors that others don't agree with.  I'm not going to paint all of them with a broad brush.  The act, itself, is heinous in my opinion and based on my upbringing, which I'm told is WASCish.  My point was, others in this world will find their actions acceptable.  Thus, it is a crazy world."

Key words...."OTHERS IN THIS WORLD"...not me, not I, but OTHERS.

I'm not going to condemn an entire religion or the people that believe in that religion because of the actions of crazy a-holes any more than I'm going to paint the entire area of Chicago based on the epic douchiness of one its MU alumni posters on MU Scoop.  If you wish to paint that broad a brush for people, knock your socks off.

"There is incomprehensive evil in this world"

While it may not be complete the real question is whether or not we can fathom or grasp it

1. You wrote what you wrote. I quoted you accurately. Don't want dumb stuff quoted? Don't say dumb stuff.

2. You know entirely too much about feminine hygiene products. It's very creepy.

3. Thanks for PMing me your entire post. Getting to read your foaming at the mouth in both a public AND  a private forum was doubly douchlicious.
