Madness thoughts?

[jsglow]

I wonder what the turnout would be if they actually pushed it back to midnight. The older crowd and kids wouldn't be there but the college students would be loud and rowdy.

Okay,  who here besides me was at Al's original Midnight Madness against the USSR?  I decided that night where I was going to college.

[bilsu]

I was there.

[We R Final Four]

No one chooses Kentucky over Marquette because of Madness.

Let's hope not........at MU the players ask the fans to cheer at other team's madness they ask them to quiet down so they can be heard.
A recruit would not be impressed with what we offer at madness.

That was a fun game.

[wadesworld]

Jump shots as well.

Yup.

[Daniel]

Need some madness in Madness.  Where's the hoopla boys?

Same complaints about
Madness every year. Yet coaches still invite recruits. Wonder if they know something that scoopers don't.

Or coaches and their staffs fall into habits and don't really question it.  Happens in every other walk of life.

[GGGG]

Nah.

My experience tells me that those outside a profession questioning those within are usually wrong.

[Stronghold]

What about those people telling me the govt. fluoridates water for mind control?  I think they're on to something.

Here's the thing:

We might find Madness to be a little dull because we're the ones following all the recruiting news, we're the ones watching all four games in Europe, we're the ones paying attention to the program year round.

If you're not putting that amount of time and energy in, and there's a lot of people out there like that if you check out Matty V's most recent Q&A, then you probably thought Madness was more exciting.

Hookers and strippers.

Hookers and strippers. 

Seems to have worked at other schools. Louisville drilled a Natty

Elbowed in head Thursday.    Sat out as a precaution.

Who was tall enough to get their elbow that high?

[MerrittsMustache]

Wally's knee?

[wadesworld]

Wally's knee?

Speaking of that, just to put this into perspective because it's absurd when you think about it this way...Wally can legitimately jump over a women's volleyball net.  That's insane.

I and 10,780 other people were there. Great game -- time when we began to understand just how special the team we had was.

I was there as well.  That was a special team.  USSR squad was very good.  Kind of hard getting home at 3 in the morning though....

Henry?  Matt Heldt?  Anyone who jumped for a layup or a rebound?

I was there as well, the 10 year run with Al was like Kentucky and Duke now, MU was involved with the top players in New York and Chicago.  Plus Al got Maurice
Lucas from Pittsburgh, but mainly the two cities above.   I must admit 30-40 years ago there seemed to be better players coming out of both cities.  Chicago had an
unbelievable run of great players in the 70's and 80's.  If the coaches were making the same money as today, Al would have never left, Aquirre, Cummings, Isiah woud
have all came to MU, to bad.  I think the talent out of Wisconsin is better now, but Al did get his son and Jimmy Chones who probably was the best ever out of Wisconsin.

I don't know about NYC but Chicago is doing great with players coming out of there Rose, Parker, Shumpert, Davis and so many more. 

[MerrittsMustache]

I heard Kentucky Madness was on SEC Network this year.

In Scoops opinion, would it be a positive or negative if Marqutte Madness ever got televised?

If the event was televised there would definitely be more energy, especially from the students.

You're whining through your bifocals.

That was the best 3 a.m., homecoming I ever had (and probably most sober 3 a.m., return during the time I was at Marquette).

We had a nasty team that year. Like the 1977 team except we had Lloyd Walton at guard. Damn I wish Indiana hadn't been sooooo good!

What do you mean by USSR?  University of ... ?  What does SSR stand for?

USSR can't stand for what I think it does.  Did Marquette actually play communist Soviets?

[real chili 83]

Yah, we took on the effin Commies
