And people complain about others for injecting a certain coach into threads.  LOL

We could have gone on a foreign trip any time during the past five years.  Did it cross anyone else's mind that perhaps the administration didn't trust sending the team overseas with Buzz and staff for 10 days?  Not like money was an issue, and not like Buzz to pass on the extra practice time.

I'm not a Buzz fan, but I don't think this is a fair criticism.

We had a trip to Canada early in Buzz's tenure which counted as a foreign trip.  With the one trip in four years, I think the first year we would have been eligible again would have been Wojo's first season. 

It makes complete sense to wait a year to schedule the next trip in order to give him a chance to use it for recruiting.

To be fair, rape and sexual assult are the exception to the rule. (Already have my Kane jersey sitting next to a garbage can just in case) But people here seem to only want players who only have the cleanest of backgrounds and home life, and theres nothing wrong with that but I don't have a problem with recruiting JUCOs that don't graduate or people who get into fights on the street or bring their gun to practice.

I get that that what you said is more like an occasional non-graduate would be acceptable, but would you be willing to accept a postseason ban from the NCAA due to an insufficient progress toward degree score, as a trade off for a national championship the year before? 
You actually have a degree from Marquette?

Quote from: muguru
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.

That Canada trip was in TC's last season in August, 2007.  There were a couple of opportunities in Buzz's era for a foreign trip.

I thought the trip was when McMorrow was in his transfer year, but I may be confusing the trip with his freshman season in Canada.

I stand corrected--it does make sense that the school may have put the restrictions on Buzz-especially when the first year the team coached by him would have been eligible was 11-12.

In any event, Liam has his own Wikipedia page:

Didn't know he was playing for the Clipper summer league team.

Saw him at Summerfest 35 years ago.  You remember Summerfest, yes?

Hell, yes. If Milwaukee ever did anything right it was Summerfest. Mayor Maier got that one right.

What's crazy is that I was at that same concert!
