Back on the topic of penises, please.

[4everwarriors]

Hey, if Nolan stood outside the locker room like a rummy for 75 min., I'm figurin' we've got a great shot at landing him.

That blog post is a pathetic excuse for journalism. Blogging has ruined our society.

You let me down, 4ever.   I was expecting the vaguely homoerotic tying in of zfb and getting back onto penises.  

[IAmMarquette]

Yes, the eyewitness was an MU grad, an award-winning writer, who waited outside the locker room for 75 minutes. And the recruit was NOT in the locker room. He was waiting outside the room.

Is this your proof?

Apparently, there was a recruit, a good-looking 6-foot-9 player who sat patiently outside the Marquette locker room, waiting for Bonehead Buzz to rear his bald head.

"Apparently"? Doesn't sound like someone who waited outside the locker room for an hour and 15 watching a potential recruit stand there for an hour and 15. Sounds like hearsay to me.

[MUfan12]

Amazing what you can get away with as an "award winning journalist" that covers HS, minor leagues, and junior colleges.

"Bonehead Buzz?" Really? That's some professionalism.

Give me a break, ecompt. The guy is a small-town prep sports reporter whose lack of professionalism oozes from nearly every sentence of that blog. It's mind-boggling that he would decry a lack of professional courtesy and standards in the same column that repeatedly refers to a far more accomplished person as "bonehead" and other clever names.
Pot. Kettle. Black.
 
Regarding his "award-winning" journalism, as someone who's made a living in that profession, I know full well that means absolutely zip. Next to the entertainment industry, there is no more self-congratulatory profession than the media. We give ourselves awards the way Little Leagues give out trophies (i.e. everyone wins one).

Damn...I was opting for corporate greed, union greed, content on tv, religion, drugs, or all the usual villains.  Blogging is now at the top of the list...we need a banner!

Lend him some of those pills of yours and he'll be just fine, but remember to seek medical attention after 4 hours

I can think of only one reason you could have become an expert on erectile dysfunction. Good news is that when people tell you to go F*#k yourself you can honestly tell them you're unable.

Wow.

I guess he needed a reason not to like Buzz, and he found it, which then gave him the ability to do the classic sports writer's cliche of going off on some rant that really doesn't relate to the first part.

THE BULLET POINTS:
- Buzz is annoying because he is late
- Also he cannot recruit (see Taylor, Tyshawn who is "great" at KU)
- He takes on too many JUCOs
- Vander isn't good
- Oh, and being late is clearly a sign that he's over his head

His writing actually reminds me a little bit of Woeful. Not many facts, and very "ranty" if that is a word.

I bet all 13 of his "followers" are going to hate Buzz from now on.

If a man can't say penis on the Internet, then where can he say it?

I once got an A+ on a paper at MU. Please refer to me as an "award winning writer" in the future.

There's probably room in your signature line for that....

I'm not sure where I fall, as I never got an A+ on a paper.  Been called a bonehead any number of times, though. Does that count?

Depends entirely on who bestowed the honor.  Those comments from the right group of people could certify your genius.

As someone who has often been accurately classified one also, you bet it counts.

No one makes someone from the east coast wait. Doesn't Buzz know that the time of east coast people is more valuable than that of anyone else, at least in their own minds'?

[Tugg Speedman]

This goofy blogger wrote this ...

The NCAA and Big East Conference have regulations that the coaches are supposed to adhere to after games. There's a 10-minute cooling-off period, followed by the losing coach and losing players, then winning coach and winning players. It's a policy that is religiously enforced during the entire NCAA Tournament.

---

Is this true?  And he wrote this down in the comment section ....

No, it's not the first time Buzz has pulled this routine...In fact, he did almost the same thing last year at Newark and Marquette won that game. He wasn't found for about a half hour last year. This was far worse.

And no, it's not the first time this year, because I received assurance from the Big East office that he had done it ''several times'' and was already once warned.

Has anyone heard about any of this before?  I have not.

ecompt, were you a mentor of Mr. Hague in his Marquette days?  Maybe you gave him the award?
