Oso planning to go pro
When it comes to Marquette basketball, guru, you are NOT competitive. Until you take the court, you are just an observer. That is not a competitive role. You may be so in pickup basketball, Monopoly, or Fortnite, but you are not competitive in regards to Marquette basketball. Period.
PEOPLE STOP SAYING "WE" when it comes to MU BB. Please, as much as I am not part of the team(according to you), then nor is anyone else here, so DO NOT say WE. Huge pet peeve of mine. WE implies you play on the team.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
You are speculating. You do not know a thing about what goes on or why I consider myself "competitive" as a "fan". If you don't deal with Badger fans on a regular basis then you wouldn't understand...but that is only part of it. I will leave it at that.
My only pet peeve with we is when people say "we" when the team wins and "them" when the team loses.
Alright, you see it however you want it. Tell you what then, let's make a deal..I will stop posting here altogether if one simple thing occurs : PEOPLE STOP SAYING "WE" when it comes to MU BB. Please, as much as I am not part of the team(according to you), then nor is anyone else here, so DO NOT say WE. Huge pet peeve of mine. WE implies you play on the team.
First, I don't want you to stop posting on Scoop. When you're not acting crazy and/or boasting about your superiority, you add value to the board.Second, what do you chant? "They are (clap, clap) Mar-quette!"?I attended Marquette. I am a part of Marquette and it is a part of me. I still say "we" when I talk about the school, period, not even just the basketball team. And even those who didn't go to Marquette, they can feel a part of the overall community or the basketball community. I didn't play for the Carolina Panthers, but I still often say "we" ... and it's a pet peeve of mine that some yahoos are so easily outraged that they have that as a pet peeve of theirs.It's what fans do. Except, I guess, superior ones such as yourself. Don't take it out on us that you don't feel like you are part of the community.So I won't stop calling MU "we." But from now on, though, I do promise to chant:"We are (clap, clap) Mar-quette! Except guru! We are (clap, clap) Mar-quette! Except guru!"OK? Feel better?
I mean if the term "we" is acceptable..that implies we are part of the team in some way..but I have been told repeatedly..I'm not. I'm a season ticket holder..does that count? Im so confused.
No, it implies we are part of the university.There, hopefully you are no longer confused.
From having ties to the University..I get that, saying "we"..you attended school there..in saying "we" in reference to the basketball team..unless you play on the team, or..wait for it somehow affect the outcome(which can't be possible as so many here say) then I don't like the word "we". Maybe if I was an alum i'd understand it more..but that doesn't excuse the one's that do it for pro sports. I mean if the term "we" is acceptable..that implies we are part of the team in some way..but I have been told repeatedly..I'm not. I'm a season ticket holder..does that count? Im so confused.
You didn't even go to Marquette??
That’s just fine. Plenty of room for him.
Amen. Always more room on the bandwagon. As long as you don't pull the Bucky special and claim you're an alum when you went to UW Directional School
Nope, been a HUGE fan since i was a kid.
And so the thinking goes, the basketball team is part of the University, therefore "we" is acceptable in reference to the basketball team?? Just trying to understand.
BTTLet's review shall we?? Pomeroy had it 66-65 UW. A 1 point WISCONSIN win. Guru Had it...72-64 MSU. An 8 point MSU win. The ACTUAL score was...67-59 MSU WIN. Huh, Imagine that. DEAD on. I think we are now done here...I won this thread, yes?? My point has been made..game, set, match...Guru. I will say something like 72-64 MSU.
Where'd you have Louisville and Duke?Purdue Maryland?Michigan Penn State?
