We need to post a watch at the Spirit Shop for visuals on Maya Smart loading up on Tees, Ball Caps, Coffee Mugs, and Halter Tops

Sitting there in a beach chair with a bucket of Real Chili and some Sprecher Hefe Weiss.  I might be blocking the door slightly.  I think they'll appreciate the "Shaka Smarquette" mesh half shirt.  If you come by bring some wet-naps.  I'm a mess.

Read the next tweet of her's buddy.

Are we pushing for Maya Smart to teach a class as a package deal?  She's certainly qualified.

I already did. I was told I need to do some light trolling on here, so I'm trying to live up to that.

Via alter ego as you mentioned on the other board...?

This has gotta be tough for you. I don't envy you, regardless of outcome here.

Worst possible scenario...I had nightmares about this stuff. Sans VCU joining the Big East and having to play Marquette.

This type of situation really shows you what it means to be a fanatic though. I've been attacked from both sides. Sort of enjoyable, but I probably need to step away from the computer at this point.

[Benny B]

Oh no, a strong woman who eschews gender stereotypes... that's not going to play well with the sweatervests.



I was in the Howland camp before, but now I'm on the fine line between him and Shaka.  Nothing like seeing the old fogies squirm and b!#@h about today's women.

Can we compile a retrospective whenever this crap show is over?  This and the canoe joke have been more than solid contributions.

Smart has been open about his political preferences too. Not sure how that would fly at Marquette

That crossed my mind. But he enjoys campaigning and I can vouch that most of the campaigns in WI are crazy passionate and fun to work on.

Also, keep an eye out for a lady with short blond hair and 4 kids wearing a Virginia Tech sweat shirt trying to return a sh1tload of Marquette stuff

Then you, my anonymous internet friend, don't know Jack about Marquette.  We've hired openly gay deans.  Sure, we still have to take the next step of not subsequently firing them before their first day on the job... but the first step is always a doozy.

I think that I have read literally every post since Friday. 

I thought about doing it a la BrewCity-E8-in-yo-face! style.

I started thinking about cataloging all of the great posts with a +1 so that I could look at my own history and go back.  But I didn't and I regret it

Like there are no left-leaning types that work at MU.  Please.

After the way we handled that one lesbian dean hire, I'm going to say there's very few that are outspoken till shown otherwise.  

Jodi O'Brien that was her name

Isn't she busy sponsoring somebody's wedding?

There will be a ton of squirming if Smart starts talking about his extremely liberal political views.

Yeah Keefe, if you're here who the hell is protecting our country?

[Avenue Commons]

Maya Smart went to Harvard and Medill at Northwestern for grad school. Marquette would be extremely fortunate to have someone like that affiliated not just with the program, but the university.

[T-Bone]

[mr.MUskie]

I want one, size large.

[keefe]

I prefer the Fishnet Mesh Half Tee myself

[connie]

No way that dude has a bucket of chili and a hefe.

[Real Chilly Podcast]

Shirts without sleeves?

What's next, basketball jerseys with sleeves!?

Well that's convenient.  Northwestern is 78 miles from the AL.  I'm sure she has plenty of friends/fellow alums in the Chicagoland and Milwaukee area.

This news on Ms. Smart plus her tweet means we just took the lead.

For anyone keeping score at home it's the fourth quarter with seven and half minutes left

Marquette - 68
VCU - 66

It's a nailbiter

Father Wild is running point, so hope is still alive

Do we put Todd in because he's clutch or do we assume he's going to foul a three point shooter? Though admittedly VCU has this problem to.

It was actually...

Marquette - 62
VCU - 66

VCU fouled on a three-pointer with seconds left and Jake sank the free-throw. Four point play. Marquette won in overtime.

I see no problem with that. In fact, I fully support Shaka even more.

[ZiggysFryBoy]

BeeJay will take a 4XL.  Pit stains will appear after 1 wear.

[wadesworld]

I have it confirmed, Shaka has already signed the line.  We are just waiting to name the president, who happens to be Shaka's wife, Maya Smart.

[Galway Eagle]

I agree but at phonathon for fundraising we even have an auto response for declines when alumni think the university is too liberal.  We hire a coach like Shaka then it gets out he was say campaigning for Baldwin or Hillary we'd lose a bunch of Blue and Gold donors then we're in a pickle

I hate you. Thought this was serious through 80% of it.

I've always found him to be an interesting guy. And I've wondered how he would fare at MU.  If he is hired and wades into the upcoming contentious Gov race, he will make enemies of 50% (at least) of the fan base.

Well they can suck it up and deal with it.

[2012 Warrior]

Doesn't matter if he's winning

[mechaghidorah]

But he will also be worshiped by the local media for his leftist views, so he won't care what fans think. You wont have seen anything like the praise this guy will get if he's the hire. And if he bashes Walker, the JS might put it on the front page, bold type.  It won't be boring.

[Galway Eagle]

Till his first non winning season then we show him the door and he claims it's because the conference, a challenge, tv deal, and loves blacksburg?

The local media does not praise him for his political views here. In fact, they've never discussed it aside from the POTUS mentioning him in a speech he made on campus.

I think he'd be fine at Marquette.

The over-politicization of Wisconsin is way over-hyped.  If you care deeply about anything of a political nature, you're still part of the minority... not to mention you need your head checked.

there's no way he'd bash a sitting govenor who righted a sinking ship and preserved jobs in the process..., regardless of his background (and only he knows his stance on things not disclosed to us) he isn't a mindless boob and will make fact-based decisions.

Can we not talk politics? How about some more haikus or poems?

Even cryptic ones. Whatever works.

yeah...all those racist jokes from his closest staff members and paul ryan referencing "the bell curve" will go over great with shaka's history degree with an emphasis on race (great migration).
