You could find Scooper quotes from four or five years ago saying the same thing about Buzz.

I'm quite confident we could be. Personally I didn't think Buzz was gonna be here long term. He would squeeze us for every last penny and there was obviously friction up top. But Wojo has shown a rare amount of loyalty to a school already, Buzz never showed that the longest he was anywhere was here for what 7 years? Before that 4 years at Colorado st, a couple years at Texas A&M, the year at Nola, some other stuff to.  Wojo had been at Duke for about 20yrs from the time he started playing to coming here, working with a coach who'd been at a place for 35yrs.  I'm just saying there's a pattern of loyalty wojo has shown and been mentored in that Buzz was not, O'neil was not, Crean was not.  It's of course possible Wojo leaves but if I were a betting man and were going to choose a coach that would stay out of our previous ones I'd choose Wojo (unless he somehow got the Duke offer or NBA)

Six years.  He'll probably exceed that at Virginia Tech given the facts that the program is lower visibility and his contract has VT over a barrel.

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.

The year as an assistant doesn't count because he had to flush himself

I get the joke but I missed the story.  Where was the Buzz doesn't flush story?  I'm not questioning it, more just interested in greater context.

How was I bitter?  I didn't believe it at the time, still don't, and never heard it from any other source.

In the very least it's a funny story that has turned into some entertaining jokes you didn't need to call the guy a liar. He was probably posting info he heard whether it was true or partially true or what not. It's why we don't get people posting a lot of the stuff they hear on here.

If I had to guess Buzz probably clogged the toilet once and had to get a manager to plunge it or get maintenance and the game of telephone became Buzz has the managers flush the toilets. Doesn't mean Swan was lying though.

All that being said after going through just now and reading a few of the other things that have been spoken about here you aren't the only one. When I broke that Malek harris was suspended for the hair thing Brandx tore me a new one and that ended up completely true. So it's probably just the culture here.

Wasn't this an urban legend but with Majerus playing the part of Buzz?  Sounds like someone took that old story and substituted a newer coach.

Met a VaTech grad at wriglyville the other week. We had a good chat about Buzz. He finds Buzz's contract hilarious because VaTech will forever and always be a football school. Jury is still out on him over there apparently.

I'm trying to convince Paddy Long's to become a Marquette bar so I don't have to travel anywhere to watch games. It seems that one of my fav Marquette dudes from Schoolyard moved on to Kirkwoods... but I can't deal with the II,II stuff.
Assume what I say should be in teal if it doesn't pass the smell test for you.
