There is someone who regularly posts here, who posted in another forum details about who wrote the letter, who signed the letter and when it was delivered to Wojo. I will not rehash it because it was posted in a private forum. If that poster wishes to share what he knows, that is up to him.But the short of it is that there was indeed a letter written by the Brothers Hauser.I don't know what you want for evidence, but many people have been told what happened. Chose to believe it or not.
Seems like a situation where nothing short of first-person, viewed-with-their-own-eyes evidence is enough.Sort of like those who don't believe we landed on the moon.
Lenny, my mind is not closed on this. I look forward with avid anticipation to anything you might say publicly or privately that would significantly alter my perception.
Right. The Hauser letter and the moon landing are supported by similar evidence. A Scooper PMed a couple of his buddies and said “Guess what? We just landed on the freakin’ moon!”. The rest is history.
“Somebody who regularly posts here” has “privately” said that he heard a) a letter was written, b) who signed the letter and c) when it was delivered to Wojo. Since you don’t include what was in the letter I’ll assume the “regular poster” didn’t have that information - which seems really curious.You can call that proof, you can conclude that a piece of hearsay means that “the short of it is that there was indeed a letter written by the brothers Hauser”. Just as you can conclude that every piece of hearsay written by “regular posters” claiming inside information on Scoop = truth. I disagree.What has Wojo said? What about his staff? How about Markus? The rest of the ream? Sam? Joey? Dave and Stephanie? Ben Steele or any other journalist covering the team? How easy would it be to “anonymously” leak the information (from any of the principals) to him/them in order to bolster their position? Yet from all of them - crickets.I don’t know whether a letter was written or not. Neither do you. You believe it based on what someone told you. That’s OK. First hand hearsay is enough for you. Second hand hearsay isn’t enough for me.
I can also say I’ve been told Sam was not playing last season, too, even if he had stayed in Milwaukee.
Not sure what you mean here, Unk. He was gonna take an injury redshirt?
I didn't say the levels of evidence surrounding each event was the same. Please don't put words in my mouth.What I did say was that they evidence/proof you require to believe this is similar to what some require to believe we landed on the moon.
Actually, what Lenny’s asking for would be the equivalent of Neil Armstrong saying, “I walked on the moon.” So, if Sam or Joey came out and said, “We wrote a letter asking Wojo to reign in Markus,” then there you’d have it.But we don’t have that. No one who was directly involved with the situation has gone on the record to talk about why the Hausers transferred. The Hausers themselves have been asked this by the media and they won’t say anything (seems like they got some good advice and listened to it). After their transfer, Wojo lied, he flat out lied, and said he was surprised it happened. So which was it? They wrote the letter, and Wojo is a liar for saying he was surprised they transferred? Or they didn’t write one, and he was legitimately surprised?Maybe someday we’ll learn the truth, though I kind of doubt it. But that hasn’t stopped some on this board from spewing vitriol in the Hausers’ direction every time one of them has a subpar game, with all that hate being based on nothing but rumor and innuendo.
That’s not what Wojo said. Here is the quote from his press conference:“If you would have asked me the day after our season ended if they wouldn't be here next year, I would tell you I would be very, very surprised for somebody to say that. But being in this business long enough, I guess nothing should surprise you.”So unless you know his thoughts the day after the season ended you have no idea if he lied. You probably should stop making stuff up.
Sort of like those who don't believe we landed on the moon.
So he would be “very, very surprised” they wouldn’t be here next year, despite the fact that they wrote him a letter and tried to start a mutiny.
The day after the season ended, he may have thought it wasn't that big of an issue. He clearly found out later it was.Posting to defend the honor of the Hausers while simultaneously trashing the honor of someone else without evidence is something.
So the Hausers led a mutiny when the team was 23-4. It ruined a glorious season. Dissension was so bad that if the Hausers stayed at MU multiple other players were going to leave. But the day after the season, after the mutiny and after the collapse, Wojo thought it wasn’t that big of an issue. Sounds logical.
You know Wojo thought it wasn’t a big issue?

I think Wojo probably thought the whole issue was a minor one that had been addressed and wouldn’t have any consequences - which flies in the face of the Scoop narrative.
