Oso planning to go pro
Any y'all got bigger fish ta fry, hey?
Again, has anyone here suggested that fans do so?
Thrilled we won
Sure you were. Anyway, I’m glad the “our fans are entitled arseholes” straw man you started has picked up steam. It’s very similar to last year’s “people are rooting against Marquette” narrative. Just more BS to distract from what’s actually happening on the court.
It would be nice if we heard ANYTHING from the administration. Two starters walkout the door following an utter collapse to end the season and no one above Wojo has a comment. That shows an indifference to the fans, alums, donors and STH's.
Yep. Cheeken Little bloviating in the wind.
Anyone who is dissatisfied with the current state of MU Hoops is an entitled arsehole who cheers against the team. And they hate puppies.-Tower,Wades,Cheeks,etc
What has “actually” happened on the court other than we would be in the NCAA tournament if it started today. What am I distracting from?LOL
Let's say they win 3 of the next 4, win one or maybe two in NYC, and then win one tournament game and lose one. I think that falls in line with everybody's expectations heading into the season. And then ask yourself, how many programs are firing a coach after making the tourney 3/4 years (with decent seeds) and a solid conference record?
1) I am not sure that falls in line with expectations - in Tower's preseason poll https://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=59180.0, 57% had us winning 24 games in the reg season so at least a good deal of Scoopers would feel underwhelmed by a bit2) We aren't going to fire him in that or almost any other scenario BUT looking at the article I posted earlier there will be at least 1 or 2 coaches fired this year with better resumes than Wojo3) 1 vs 0 NCAA wins still doesn't change the overall resume that it is neither spectacular nor unspectacular
By saying this you’re implying that the next rung up the ladder for Wojo is perennial Top 10 team. Disingenuous to say the least.There is a canyon of success between what Wojo has done and perennial Top 10 team.
I would take the Rick SLU program right now.
Marquette spent most of last season in the top 25, and while we haven't been ranked much this year, we've pretty obviously been a top 30 or so team. So while I think there is a pretty big gap between backend top 25 and a perennial top 10 team, Marquette has mostly been a pretty good (but flawed) team the last 2 seasons. Yet here we are - with a significant portion of the fan base with pitchforks calling for the coaches head. Sounds pretty entitled to me.
J5 - it is an absolute canyon. If there were MU fans expecting perennial Top 10, I would agree that is entitled and out of touch with reality.Another symptom of ProJos that I’ve noticed through your post: they love to capture the brief high points of Wojo’s tenure and extrapolate them as if they represent his entire tenure. Sure - we were ranked for several weeks last year and Top 15 for about 2 weeks. But did we end there? Have we been there any other season? Have we ever shown that kind of success consistently? Have we ever rewarded the pollsters for moving us up or into the rankings? The answer has been a resounding “no”.I would be able to stomach Wojo if we were consistently (60-70% of the time) ranked 15-25. Which would inevitably lead to high enough seeds that we would be favored or a push to go to the Sweet 16. Those are my expectations for the program in the long-term.But that’s not what he’s built. You and the other ProJos need to stop purporting that as fact.
I'll add, since Mack left Xavier, there's a pretty wide open window for another program to jump up in the conference pecking order and establish itself behind Villanova. At times the past two seasons, it seemed like MU could be that program. Unfortunately, it also looks increasingly likely it will be another missed opportunity.
I remember when this new big east was formed and Marquette was a flagship program of it.
I haven't seen anyone encourage booing (well, maybe a couple wacko posters in other threads), but certainly there has been reports of booing. I think the idea to was spread the message that it's stoopid, a big recruit will be in the arena, and you shouldn't do it. Spread it around...
Curious - how long have you been a Marquette fan? What year did you graduate?
Not sure you know, but you do not have to be a MU grad to be a MU basketball fan
Graduated during the early Wojo days. Born and raised in the city and parents went so cheering since birth.
What would you have liked them to say? Serious question. Putting the coach on notice publicly to appease a segment of the fan base and alumni would be pretty stupid, imo
