In the spirit of "Buzz's wife went on a shopping spree" and "my friend's realtor said Bob McKillop bought a house", let's have a little fun on a Saturday night.

Name a candidate (legit or not), where you saw them, and what they were doing. The most ridiculous one wins...well, the prize for being the most ridiculous one.

Here's my try:

I saw Larry Eustachy walking out of Dany's Foods with an 18 pack of Natty Light Ice. When I asked him where he was heading, he said he was going to a beer pong tournament in the Renee Row courtyard.

Bruce Pearl was seen walking out of Arts Performance Center last night at 1 am. I overheard him asking a cab drive how much it would cost for a lift to Rickys on State.

I saw Steve Lavin coming out of the bathroom stall at Real Chilli. He looked really sweaty and his hair was all messed up yet proceeded to order another bowl

**************INSIDE SCOOP**************

I just saw Isiah Thomas stumbling out of Ricky's on State. It looked like one of the female strippers was very upset with something he had done as she had to be restrained by one of the bouncers as Thomas left.

I saw Bobby Knight and Steve Cottingham at the furniture store asking the salesperson questions about putting an MU logo on the chair and the durability of it if thrown across a wood floor.

I saw Rick Majerus wearing an MU bib while scarfing down meatloaf and mashed potatoes at an all-you-can-eat buffet.

I just saw Brad Brownell, snappy in his sweater vest, leaving the Scientology Reading Room with a cutout of Phil Hartman's Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer under his arm.

I just saw Tom Crean pull out of Marquette Tanning & Laundry on a yellow ATV.

I heard Cottingham was at a cryogenics lab in Kentucky trying to get the scientists to release Adolph Rupp's dna to be put into the dna of a frog and create Jurassic Coach to take MU to the next level

I saw Bruce Pearl driving down Lincoln Memorial Drive with Latrell Spreewell towing Milwaukee's Best behind his SUV into the Milwaukee Yacht Club.

I saw Buzz Williams holding a banjo on the porch of a ramshackle home

As you can tell from my mobile post, I just saw John Wooden roll out of the Al and get into the back seat of one of the athletics Hummer H2s. I couldn't quite make out the driver but it looked like it was Fr. Wild. I'm sure it was DJ riding shotgun.

Muhoops85 · « **Reply #12 on:** April 05, 2008, 10:04:13 PM »

I saw Bob Knight get into an altercation with Father Wild at the Metro Market salad bar. Knight was screaming that Wild lied to him. The father reached for a bottle of Roundy's Holy Water and sprinkled it on Knight who immediately turned to incense smoke. Looks like the coaching search is still on after all.

I have a Milwaukee cop friend who works secruity at Victim's on weekends. Got a complaint about a wait for the stall in the men's room, so he went to check it out. Opened the door and there was a female patron getting some "pleasure" from a 60 something man who had the slicked back white hair of a retired used car salesman.

That guy? Bo Ryan.

The Man in Gold · « **Reply #14 on:** April 05, 2008, 10:21:23 PM »

I was coming out of the Grand Ave mall and I saw Bruce Weber checking out Gold blazers and pimp hats at Johnny Walkers.

The Man in Gold · « **Reply #15 on:** April 05, 2008, 10:24:21 PM »

Did anyone else notice the big commotion outside the KFC in downtown Milwaukee today. People thought Colonel Sanders was making a guest appearance...turns out it was Rick Pitino looking to score some saucless hot wings.

Who knows who may be our coach in this new wing world.

Buzz Williams' Spillproof Chiclets Cup · « **Reply #16 on:** April 05, 2008, 10:29:11 PM »

I saw Adolph Rupp rising from the grave by the light of the last full moon to feed on the flesh of the living...or to go to China Garden....either way....same difference.

There's a "Self" in the air - on the way from San Antonio to Milwaukee. Wow. I know the air traffic controller who knows the mechanic who worked on the plane. Done deal.

Niv Berkowitz's dad was seen getting off an El Al plane at O'Hare this afternoon. Niv is going to come back and play for MU some more and his dad will coach. DJ is going to play in New Zealand, so Niv will start. Apparently, his behind the back passing is much improved and is looking forward to being back.

Saw Bobby Knight down in Cudahy tonight. Was walking around with a bag from Super Video II. Asked him what was in it, and he explained he bought a new whip. Why? Apparently he needed a new motivational tool

Pat Riley was dancing at the Eve Club saturday night.

HomeCourtAdvantage · « **Reply #22 on:** April 06, 2008, 06:18:17 AM »

Last night while walking by the Al McGuire Center, I noticed that the court chair normally reserved for the coach had a Seat Belt affixed to it.

My friend is a bouncer at Caff's. He told me he confiscated the fake id of some freshman last night. Turns out it was Keno Davis.

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Billy Donovan pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

In a corner table at Angelo's, I saw Cottingham trying to talk Trevor into being player/coach.

I saw Bob Huggins at the Raynor Library checking out some books.

WTMJ4 just had video of Bruce Weber going through the trash bins next to Creans old house in Mequon. He was gathering up all of the Marquette logo gear he could find.......looks like we have a new coach!

Notkirkcameron cannot be stopped. Two gems. Outstanding.

Oh yeah, Mrs. Oldgym and I had an open house today and Kevin O'Neill was in my living room.

Not related to MU, but my uncle is a custodian at Assembly Hall in Bloomington, IN. Last Sunday he saw a man with a really long tie up in the rafters. He asked this guy what he was doing and the guy replied: I'm measuring for space for a San Jaun Shoot-Out banner.

My uncle said: This is Indiana, we don't celebrate tourney wins in November and we don't put up banners for the San Jaun Shootout

The long tie gentleman replied back: You do now, I'm Tom Crean and I'm your new basketball coach...now tell me where the PA system is, I need to make sure you have the right version of Zoombie Nation & Cotton Eyed Joe

ZiggysFryBoy · « **Reply #31 on:** April 06, 2008, 06:14:26 PM »

MU is going to bring Dick Bacon's dead body in as coach, as that is the only way they can get a more tan coach.

MUfan12 · « **Reply #32 on:** April 07, 2008, 09:49:31 PM »

Ran across this one, from Manhattan KS.

drewm88 · « **Reply #33 on:** April 07, 2008, 10:00:34 PM »

I got an official email from MU confirming that Buzz was hired.

Unfortunately that doesn't count as a ridiculous rumor.
