Kolek planning to go pro
Markus got hurt. Hausers torpedoed.
That's why I'm not making that argument. I'm not saying those losses don't count. They do. That's why the salient point was this:Yes, we went out behind the woodshed, but I left you bloody and beaten. You tried to revise history. I called that BS. Your response was to focus on the BS, not the actual argument. Good god, man, you make this too easy.Should Wojo have done better? Yes. Frankly, he should have sat Markus. But he's a young coach. He's learning. He's proven he can elevate a team. And he's earned the rope to continue showing he can improve and learn.That's the point. That's why debating Louisville, at Creighton, at Villanova, Creighton, at Seton Hall, and at Georgetown as reverse results is a fool's errand. And both you & RR were all too happy to play that fool.
When I see posts like this, I think, “Jesus Christ, somebody has to say something.”Call me “Mr. Hauser” or accuse me of not being a “true fan” or whatever, but to say that the Hausers, specifically Sam, tanked the season is just a big fat load of BS. In the loss at Seton Hall, Sam played all 40 minutes, went 9 of 19 from the floor, scored 25 points, and grabbed 9 rebounds. He was indispensable in that game, but yeah, he definitely tanked it. He went for 10 and 7 in the blowout of STJ, was 7 of 15 with 22pts and 9 rebounds in the Seton Hall BET game, and played 37 minutes against Murray State while putting up 16 points and grabbing 10 boards. But yeah, he definitely missed all the shots he missed on purpose.Joey hit the freshman wall, but still averaged 10 points a game for the season. If he was still on the team, people would be talking about the huge leap he’d be taking as a sophomore. Instead, he conspired with Sam to help us lose 6 of our last 7. If Dexter has a bad second half next year, we’ll know what happened!Your post takes all the blame off Wojo and Markus and uses the excuses of an injury we don’t know the severity of (and that the player played through while he and the coach maximized his usage) and two players purposely playing bad (even though one of them didn’t) because they were unhappy with their roles. I don’t think that’s a fair assessment of what happened.
Watchin' Blueteaux orr da First Warrior is like shovin' a glass rod up yo johnson and hittin' it with a hammer, hey?
Thanks Mr. Hauser. Tell me, is the old lady in Virginia or Michigan tonight to tuck in one of her boys? Does the one left out cry himself to sleep? I'm sure she knitted him a nick blanket to help him cope.
Do you keep your whiddle fluffy blue monster with your blankie?
Where did Tower say they tanked anything? Torpedoed doesn’t equal tanking.
Oh reading comprehension...Wojo's coaching needs work but has improved consistently.The talent level is fine. Wojo has done well landing top-100 players regularly, has hit big on some transfers, and is getting quality out of his three stars (John, Anim, Elliott, Cain).My point in talking about subpar coaching and talent is that YOU are making that argument. I don't agree, largely because if both were true, the results we've seen would be impossible.Brad Brownell is a really odd example. Barring absolute disaster, he will be the winningest coach in Clemson history by January. They are traditionally a bad program and Oliver Purnell is seriously one of their most successful coaches ever. They aren't worth comparing to Marquette.
Guru....so he made adjustments, just not the ones you can identify or want to give him credit for. To use your words...NEVER has he done so. Got it.Have a wonderful Father’s Day
This is an odd and somewhat disturbing post. You realize I’m not actually Mr. Hauser, right? And that throwing personal, non-basketball related insults at the Hauser family doesn’t actually matter to me, right? If you want to insult the Hausers on a personal level, I think it’s kind of messed up and makes Marquette fans look bad, but hey, be my guest. If you want to say the Hausers tanked the season because it’ll convince someone somewhere that Wojo was in no way at fault for the collapse, well, that’s just false and if I see it, I’ll put in my two cents.
That means one of two things and ONLY one of two things...A. You're completely satisfied with results like this from the MU program(that's your right, and spare me the patience thing) B. You don't really have the high aspirations that you say you do for the program(again spare me the patience thing).
Please explain the difference.
I can't speak for tower so I won't. Just my own opinion ...I don't think the Hausers tanked. I don't really know what he meant by torpedoed, but I wouldn't have used that word either.They shot poorly down the stretch, as did Markus. Joey continued his trend of poor basketball over the last 2 months - turnovers, horrid D and meh shooting. I think both tried their hardest, as did Markus. And Wojo, for that matter.Some Scoopers are convinced that one or two Warriors are "to blame." I believe there is plenty to go around. Our guys picked a bad stretch to have a bad stretch. I know that's not very satisfying for those who think Wojo should be fired, who want to villainize Joey, who think Markus is a "cancer," and who think Sam is selfish ... but it's the best I've got
