For my $0.02 worth, I'm happy to see the most angry, agressive, obnoxious deviants gone.I can pass over the tedious repetitive members, no problem.
I actively post I order to counter the more extreme takes on Wojo and the players.
Have you ever considered that if everyone ignored the "more extreme" that their threads would fall to the bottom of the list, and wouldn't keep being bumped. At the same time, if you only posted or replied to posts that were discussing (what you deem) interesting thoughts about Marquette Hoops, perhaps there would be less arguing. Just some of my own thoughts.
I've considered it, but if lies or misrepresentations are left unchallenged they often become accepted as truth. I don't find much on this board worth fighting about but the trashing of Wojo and the players is where I draw the line. In view of the mods reluctance to ban the borderline trolls who show up only after losses and pollute the board with toxic, hyperbolic rhetoric, I see no other option. Silence is not an option for me in this instance.
Lots of missing scoopers tonight
I hate to state the obvious, but a lot of Scoopers were probably at the game tonight. That makes a difference in time spent on the internet.
It’s not that serious... a message isn’t life. I am a fan but it’s college basketball, basically a hobby.
How about people toning down the rhetoric in the middle of the season AND in the middle of a recruiting battle for Karim Mane. When the seasons over and Karim is signed to a NLI, then let's talk about how successful or unsuccessful Marquette was this season. Sometimes I think people are trying to sabotage his recruitment to make Wojo look bad.
Silliness.
Yea. Let’s shut down Scoop until after the season and the Karim Mane recruitment is over.
Curious, Jake ... did you end up going to Kirkwood?
Nope. 0-3 there so went to Old Town Pub as the wife was coaching a running group down the street. Maybe this is my new place (albeit much further from home)
Thank you for coming out of your silent room after all these years lurking and carrying the mantle of all good things Scoop. Your 12 days of fighting for the life of the Scoop board against all things and posters unjust will be rewarded in heaven.Arby's coupons for you, sir, for your newfound gallantry.

Sometimes I think people are trying to sabotage his recruitment to make Wojo look bad. Words matter. The trashing of Wojo and the players is not harmless. Those words could negatively impact this season and future recruiting. Fans need to remember that they represent Marquette, just like the coach and the players do.
Dr. BIt really is special that WhoaJoe took the time to dip his toe in the Scoop water. If we are lucky, possibly WhoaJoe’s instant Scoop success will encourage other long time lurkers to sneak in a post or fifty a day.
