Oso planning to go pro
Both deserve it. Still hate the way Crean left (not that he left for IU) but a FF is a big deal and he deserves the honor. Dominic was great, I think he is an all time great.
For those complaining how TC left. It was 15 years ago and obviously Marquette moved on. It would be best for us to as well.
Wrong, it will be 14 glorious years on April 1 dat da mf'er left, hey?
Never really understood how people hated a guy that brought Marquette Dwayne Wade and a Final Four. Granted I never really had any personal experiences with him outside of a friendly interaction when he brought us donuts and coffee outside of the Bradley Center at 8AM.I get that he was a salesman, perhaps a phony salesman, but that was to him, in his mind, the best way to promote his team. Sure he wanted personal gain as well, but what career man doesn’t? I guess I never really understood the hate for a Texan that brought Marquette so many wins and huge tourney success, but I was never asked to flush either…I never really understood the hatred for a man that cleaned up the program and had 0 bar brawls and rape scandals under his tenure, the man that brought us Markus Howard, but then I realized it’s been almost a decade since my beloved Marquette has won a tourney game. I guess what I’m saying is that if you had some personal experiences with tanned Tommy and he was a dbag I get it. That said, if you take a step back it’s easy to see that he did a lot for Marquette University no?Time to bury the hatchet, amirite?!?
First of all, learn how to spell. It’s Dwyane. Put some f’n respect on his name. Second of all, we quadrupled the spend and relaxed the requirements. Of course Tom did well. Any young coach coming in with no admission barriers and a huge budget would do it too. The state was full of studs; Travis, Steve, Merritt and then in Chicago there’s a partial qualifier. The road was paved with Gold. All Tom had to do was drive his ATV over it and not tip over.
CTC's strength was he is a program builder. Al knew and was good at that. After Al MU had a bunch of basketball coaches. Then came CTC who knew putting fans in the seats and keeping them there was a big part of the job. Buzz had his moments and then he didn't (Mac interview, Buzz v. Admin). With Wojo, we were back to a coach. Now we are back with Shaka who is again a builder. I think every coach since Al was better or equal at Xs and Os with Crean (maybe not Piano Man), but no one made a MU game a destination event like CTC did.
I guess I’m not as obsessed with him as you are.
He literally lied to Fr. Wild.
Well Marquette seems to have gotten over it since then. Perhaps you should too.
Fluff, maybe you should get over people whose opinions differ from yours. Yes, he told a monster lie. I’m also struck by the couple of players I know who played for him that are still very tight with him. He was a major dumb a$$ with how he left. Fact. Has he grown, and acknowledged his mistake? Perhaps. If so, I can live with that.
I could care less that he left. Adios mf'er and the horse you rode in on. The dude's a phony and a fraud, aina?

I don't care if your opinion is different than mine. Marquette hasn't held a grudge so neither will I. And at this point, it says more about the people who go out of their way to bash him than it does about TC.If on cue...
