Something like this is a good thing...if you win.  If you don't, it becomes something that quickly becomes a negative.  If MU is right back near the top of the Big East, competing to be a 1 or 2 seed again, then it is a source of pride.  If they fall back to the middle of the Big East pack and are a bubble team, then it becomes a, "Why didn't we upgrade our roster in the portal?" situation. 

It's like having a quirky coach.  When you win, the quirks are amusing and part of why you win.  When you lose, the quirks are annoying and the reason you're losing.

The second line of my signature, with "your" substituted for "our", tells you my reaction to this post. How do you explain all the teams in not just the Big East but other major conferences that have used the portal heavily and still are "middle of the pack"? Your premise fails to explain that and does not allow for any measure other than "near the top" or "a 1 or 2 seed again'. What's next? Anything short of a natty or at least a FF = failure?   ::)

After Marquette wins 6 games in the 2025 NCAA tournament to take the national title, joyless willie will say:

"Lots of team have one 6. I cant believe they didnt won 7. Their a pile of dung."

Like Walker, he was a disaster nationally.  Once exposed to people outside their comfort zone, they’re awkward and unlikable.

Think back to when Desanctimonius announced.  Large favorite over 45.  Announced on Twitter which was a mess and got little to no traction across other media outlets, because, well Twitter is for online people.  Ran on the woke agenda.  Got called pudding fingers and it was over before it started.

This isn’t Nixon.  He isn’t coming back in 2028 re-polished and rehabbed.  They’ll be some new flavor of the day and if 45 is elected, he has zero chance of getting his endorsement in ‘28.


The entire theme of running against Disney was insanely dumb.

Where does da Buffoon's schtick play well, hey?

It played well with millions and millions more Americans in 2020 than Dementia Don's deceitful, deranged schtick did.

Yep. DeSantis' base is old people who see him as a bulwark against the social, cultural and demographic change that frightens them. He polled way better amongst the 55 and up crowd than younger voters who aren't afraid of books and gay cartoon characters.

Agree with most of this, except for enjoying watching how it works out, especially if it goes south for MU,which it appears to be moving that way as opposed to some of our rivals.

Imagine being this soft.

Is Amos an upgrade over Yalden?

A toasted bagel is an upgrade over what Yalden did last season.  Gus probably ate all of the team's bagels when he had the munchies

Kansas has Storrs.  Therefore, MU is the only high major to neither lose a player to the portal nor sign a player in the portal.

Yay, MU!
