I have posted about similar thoughts from Spartan and Wolverine fans. And one Dayton fan.
You found him?!?!?
And one Dayton fan.
Talked to two people that are college BBall fans that know I went to MU. They have no affiliation with the school, think of them as random fans looking at this situation without the emotions we all have.Both thought the transfers were understandable, one basketball and not enough shots. Neither thought it reflected poorly on MU, it just the way of the world. Both thought Howard is one of the most exciting players in college basketball and would rather keep Howard over the Hausers if you had to make that choice.Both said they long ago gave up on trying to understand the decision of 19 and 21-year-olds. Both thought that neither would be an NBA player (outside of a 10-day contract or a longer cup of coffee). So, if they are bailing on a potential top 5 team to go to Bucky or Iowa so they could hoist more shots, stupid move. MSU and/or Virginia made more sense but the risk is they sign a stud one-and-done next year (their sit out year) and their dream of splitting 25 shots a game between them are gone. Or, as one said, Howard 2.0.Bottom line, they did not think this is a signal the world is ending for MU. They just shrugged their shoulders and said this is the way the world works today. No big deal, MU still has Howard and that means they are going out of their way to watch next year.

Was his Cavalier broken down along the side of the road again?
Well...they are wrong. It is a big deal
Is COMPLAINING ABOUT MU basketball the only thing that is important in your life? It's only a game. Sure I want to win but it is not the be all or end all of my life.
No need. The ones I know are rational enough to know Dayton needs to raise their program before the Big East will take a Flyer on them.
I was talking to a friend, who knows nothing about MU bb, about the Hauser situation.His take was “who?”.
Exactly.The day after it happened, I opened my Charlotte Observer. They had a college basketball notes section with 4 items. Not a word about the Hausers, meaning a major metro daily didn't think it was newsworthy enough to even run a couple of wire-service paragraphs about it.We all have tunnel vision. We can do a 6-page thread on Ike. And what happened with Sam and Joey was Hausergeddon, Hausershima and the end of the Hauserverse as we know it.But outside our little bubble, nobody cares. At least half the folks out there think our school is in Michigan.Would have been interesting to see what the reaction would have been outside the bubble had the BEast POY/All-American been the one to leave.
