Kolek planning to go pro
I know several academic types. They each have multiple closets dedicated to the spirit wear from each school they worked at. Every time they show up at a new school, they know to go shopping. Each always remembers where his/her paycheck comes from.Ben has just received a significant promotion. I'm confident he's absolutely thrilled to be covering Marquette basketball. Moreover, I suspect that Matty has already clued him into scoop and that he's taken a glance. Some might want to keep that in mind.
Well let's hope he is like a Homer True Badger.
"I know Ben. He's a very close friend of mine, very very dear friend. I know his family. And if I know Ben, he'll put his heart and soul into this. Ben eats, sleeps, poops, and drinks basketball and he will love covering Marquette! Trust me, I know him well and that's the bottom line."-Stephen A. Smith, probably. -Herman Cain, possibilyBut honestly, welcome Ben, good luck! We can be harsh but we have confidence.
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.
Unless this boy is documented having the Marquette Special (with cheese and onions), followed with a shot of habanero Sonoran Salsa, he is not to be trusted.
I know some of us were skeptical of Ben Steele but I'm going to be honest. He is off to a great start replacing Matty V.He is a MUST follow on twitter already with his daily #mubb questions for fans (today's is markus and Rowsey combined for 309 3pts last year, would you go Over or Under 360 this year?)I really encourage everyone to check him out. He's really doing a great job.
Crazy Q tho, ainnel?
But he's engaging with fans, keeping people interested and is keeping MU in people's minds.
FIFY
We overreacted when a domer was named AD, probably overreacting to a Badger being the beat writer.
Did we? Larry Williams was an absolute freakin trainwreck and lasted 18 mos? I understand what ur saying but that guys was a trainwreck n as of last note is no longer in the industry.
Honest question, would Larry have been a train wreck if Wojo was the coach vs Buzz?
I miss the last beat writer. He was really good. Way better than those other clowns like Rosiak, Hunt, etc.
Rosiak is not a clown. He and Velasquez are in the same class in terms of MU coverage. Great beat writers IMO. You must be thinking of Enlund. He was awful, as was Hunt. Steele certainly seems promising thus far.
