Kolek planning to go pro
Not even religious. I just don’t get the Duane love. He was largely a disappointment and he left.
I’m just joking with you man. You have made your case clear. Some feel it’s more nuanced. Maybe it’s not Duane love—it’s just no Duane hate.
Then he abandoned them. Warrior title stripped.
Duane was a kid who was all about the team and winning. Buzz red shirted him the freshman year due to the stress fracture, even though he could have played part of the way through. The kid played hard and tough nosed basketball , had a very solid red shirt freshman season, then had some chronic leg injury problems the hampered his performance the next season. His final season, Wojo asked Duane to take a different role as a Defensive stopper, which Duane went along with and was very much a supporter of the guys who took his time. It was at that point that I became a big fan of the kid. By the end of the season Duane was actually starting again which showed his character. After he graduated, he had an opportunity to run the offense for a top 25 team and he took it, rather than ride the bench behind Markus and Andrew, I don't think he should be faulted for that. He left with the full support of the coaching staff . A player only gets 4 years to play in college and they want to maximize the opportunity.
Plus that hesitation move in my favorite mu game.
Using this logic any Marquette alum that spent four years at MU, graduated, but then got a masters degree or even took classes from another school betrayed MU and no longer has the right to be a fan. Why is it that because he played a sport that we hold him to a different level of expected loyalty? I agree that outside of his freshman year he was disappointing though.
you just sent out the bat signal to chicos
Luckily he's to distracted arguing about nets.
I like the TBT concept in general but think it could be executed much better. How about an all alumni division, a 30+ alumni division(previous poster gets the shout out for this), an open division and a ladies division.It's all about money, sure but IMO ESPN doesn't monetize this to the extent that they could. Do all four divisional championships in Vegas during the Summer sports doldrums. I think it would be fun..I think college hoops fans would embrace the college divisions..
Duane left. Jake didn't. The former isn't a Warrior. The latter is.
They did the college thing to an extent with a bug east bracket last year.
Is that where all the undersized teams were placed?
Fluff is bruised and battered after the beating he’s taken in this thread and rightfully so. What a moronic take
I'm not bruised and battered in the least. I haven't changed my thought on the matter. I do not cave into the groupthink mentality when it is convenient to do so. I simply agreed to stop arguing about it, so I am. And it would do you well to be less obsessed with me. I already own your ass enough as it is.
Beat to a pulp fluff. Take the L. Do your typical walk of shame and own your idiocy. And next time, save yourself the humiliation and don’t talk out of your ass (not that you’d know if you were or not).
Opinion still not changed. And I said earlier, I am not arguing it anymore.
But you never actually argued it with reasoning. You just said he left and that forfeits his Warrior card. But failed to address how him leaving was any different than a standard student going somewhere else for a grad degree. Repeating your point without explaining the thought process or logic behind it isn't arguing it's being stubborn
