Oso planning to go pro
Personally, I don't think a recruit would want to play on the same floor or dunk on the same rims as Giannis. Too intimidating.
I DONT CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS...MARQUETTE SHOULD BE PLAYING AT US CELLULAR OR PANTHER ARENA AND MOVE UWM BACK ON CAMPUS.I said this when they were at the Bradley Center. Arena's like Fiserv can be too big for college basketball. MU should not be in an NBA arena. Its nice and all but too verbose for college kids. Make them earn it.To me a typical college basketball crowd should only be what they have at Duke or Kansas about 11,000 or no more than 13,000 students. It's not so much the number of fans there as much as it is the college aged students energy and atmosphere. Not filled with alumni afraid to stand up and get into it!The first 20 rows all around the lower bowl should go to STUDENTS ONLY SECTION, and the one side only for the band. Older or alumni must sit rows 20 and up...TV camera angles should only get the lower bowl in view. They should go back to the Milwaukee Arena...more of a pit and more of a home court advantage there than Fiserv. It keeps them humble and hard working...and great seats for everyone! Not to mention the nostalgic element that appeals to me with it.
Scoop has turned into a really really weird place this season and i have read some of the most stupid original posts i have ever seen this year. It saddens me that fellow MU fans could be so stupid and out of touch to literally type and consider some of these bizarro world theories. Just this morning I read the “peak marcus” post. No one in their right mind can read that, step back and read it again or read it out loud to any sane person with out seriously questioning the mental health of the poster. Then in the same morning i read this post! Absolutely bonkers. I cannot explain it, has a group of scoopers been entered into a secret US govt LSD trial? Maybe the are so incredibly drunk? Maybe these OT games have caused people to simply lose all ability for rational thought? I simply dont know, i begin to read an OP and shortly thereafter am questioning whether the poster is literally fin crazy. It goes beyond lack of basketball IQ, its delusion and lack of a grasp of reality. Any way just wanted to post that things have taken a wild Twilight Zone turn on this board over the last few weeks.
Why would anyone want a single edged sword?
Anyone know who the most effective person/office to contact about this would be? This has been an issue time and time again and I'd definitely like to make my voice heard.
Try reading the original post before responding next time. The original post had nothing but praise for Fiserv and what it means for Marquette financially and otherwise, except the fact it almost ensures we'll always get the other team's best game. Of course reading comprehension isn't your strong suit. In addition you regularly like to embarrass yourself, therefore never mind.
You should care what anyone says, because this would be the worst decision that could be made. First of all, do you understand how much this would affect recruiting? Big time. It helps recruiting tremendously that we play in a brand new NBA arena. Secondly, Marquette men's basketball is the only revenue producing sport that we have at Marquette and the University and athletic department depend heavily on this revenue. If you took approximately $5,000 sold tickets per game away, hundreds of thousands of dollars of revenue would be lost. Lastly, your idea of the students getting the first 20 rows throughout the entire arena is something that could not and never will happen. Season ticket holders that donate a lot of money to the University have earned those seats and if they were taken away, it would create many, many issues and a loss of a lot of season ticket holders. Having the new set up in Fiserv with the student sections at each end of the bowl has worked tremendously I believe.
I attend, along with a few dozen others, UWM games at the Arena.
OK, I have been a regular at the Arena, the Bradley Center and now the Computing Castle.AINT NO WAY WE GO BACKWARD. EVERThe Arena was fun for a 1970s era program. We were loud, noisy and it was a party in there. Every week.I promise you, it will be the same at the Computing Castle when we get to where we were in the 1970s.One of the best games I was ever at was a Syracuse game in the Bradley Center where, as I recall we won. The place was filled, it was rocking and there was a championship game air to it. And this was in an arena considered to be inadequate.Anyone who thinks we should spend $100 million-p[lus on our own arena or go back to the 1970s is NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!
If we are thinking about the same game, it was mid-week and Oxxxxe broke the crap out of that zone. I went with a Syracuse friend and it indeed was a win.
Here is my idea: MU should buy the old Mecca floor, lease out the fun deck on the Viking Cruise ship in port for the winter, ring the floor with only the students in the balcony rooms and continue to charge them $8 per game even though, if they show up, they boo our coach and players. Oh, and we can seat the old carbed out sweater vesties below cabin but continue charge them $260 per person per game. MU will regain its home court advantage because opponents will be playing in Arctic conditions. All aboard!
I believe that was the Jake Thomas 4 point play game.
Loved that game. We had a big group watching it at the same bar where Syracuse had a big group watching. We were in one room, and they were in another. When Cuse would make a big play, we could hear them cheering like crazy, and vice versa. So much fun.Jake's 4-point play was cool. Maybe the 5th-biggest play (at best) in that game; any momentum that first-half play gave us was illusory, as we later ended up falling behind by just about as many points and still trailed by 7 with 8 minutes left in the game. But it was cool. Thank goodness for Mayo hitting two huge 3s down the stretch, Davante totally taking over and Cadougan playing a real nice floor game.
That was it. Ox 7 for 7 from the field and 12-13 from the line.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
