Wow... that's just wrong.
Anyway, thanks 'topper, rocky, and spiral for all that you do for the site!
Thanks to all the mods for making this the best place to talk MU hoops anywhere.
Happy BDAY!
wow.. didn't even realize it was today, good catch topper! What a great community this has turned into over the past two years. In truth though, us mods cannot take credit for it; we just provide the lumber, the users are the ones who built this clubhouse. The thanks really goes back to all of you who contribute.
Happy birthday indeed - may we have many more years to celebrate!
Kudos to all those who work endless hours so the rest of us can play. I enjoy interacting and sharing Warrior's basketball with all my Marquette brothers and sisters, even you Ziggy.
At least on this board you don't get banned for saying, "Tom Crean blows."

And .. you're banned.
uh .. whoops .. I'm using the March 2008 rule book. Never mind.
Happy Birthday Scoop! Thanks to all for making this the best Warriors board around!
Wow - glad you keep track of these things topper. The traffic stats are amazing - and the wiki (http://wiki.muscoop.com) is (indisputably?) the best Marquette Hoops resource ever! Goes to show how dangerous a few guys can be when you give them an idea and a computer ;D That reminds me - I think there are still a few server updates to do before the season officially starts.

Happy Birthday Boys and congrats on the awesome site and community. This is the site I check first for MU news!!
It turns out that over the last two years, I have spent 8 days and 6 hours here. Or 8 days, 5 hours, and 45 minutes more than I have spent having sex. Happy b-day, Scoop. You guys rock.
I don't post often but I read almost daily since finding the site. You have done a phenomenal job sharing MU basketball with the rest of the world. I just returned to the Milwaukee area after moving around the world for the past 25 years. I used to get news clips mailed by the athletic department just so that I could keep up a little bit. I have never been privy to recruiting data that you supply and let's face it recruiting IS the key. Thank you.

4 days, 22 hours even for me,
Congrats guys! Thanks for providing the best MU site around. One of the great features we forget about is mod's ability to rid of us annoying fans from some of our opponents. Open discussion is great but I don't miss some of the Louisville............. fans on rivals.
awesome, great work fellas. Happy Bday

How about an MUScoop birthday addition to the Scoop calendar, so we'll remember it?
Good idea. Done.
Happy Birthday... thanks for letting me waste countless days for 2 years reading articles that keep my attention instead of my last few years in college and now into teaching.
Happy Birthday, MUScoop.
I can't believe I've spent 14 days, 23 hours and 14 minutes (and counting) on this site.
A-fracking-mazing.
I hope to spend a YEAR on this site before the age of 77!
Happy Birthday-------------Thanks for this great Site!
Great job. We all owe you big time!
Happy Birthday and a big thank you to the mods!
Can you imagine if we were left with only the scout site after Ring Out Ahoya went down? Yikes!
Thanks again!

Many of us wouldn't have any message board to post on then.
I'm a big fan of Scoop. I can't believe it's only been two years.
Happy Birthday, indeed.
Bump.
A decade of good times. Thanks mods and happy 10th.

Holy crap you're right! What happened?
So make a wish. I think we all know what that wish is.
Thank you, mods, for 10 years of magnificent chaos.
Happy birthday, Scoop! Whether it's MU hoops, science, philosophy or pop culture this place informs (even as it at times enrages). Thanks to the mods and every member!
Happy Birthday, gents! :D

Thank you for giving us all something to do while we're on the toilet. My BMs have never been so enjoyable. ;D
IF the Mod's cared about us... they would update the ticker on top... now that we are less than 20 days from the first game!
18 days until game day!
Don't know where I'd be without my reflexive 2x daily (or more) check of all things Warrior. Thank you mods.
My son was born 4 months before Scoop. He's still alive too.
Not sure which is a bigger accomplishment.
I guess nothing stays great forever.
Here I am with shoes wearing out, and there hasn't been a thread offering a good deal on Uggs in years.
Happy Birthday , Thanks for all the good Years
Another 30 years to go
Happy Birthday and congrats on a job well done.

You have had sex just 30 times in the past two years????
(BTW, I assume your count doesn't include, uh, "self-love...")
Thanks Scoop.
You are a daily must read, even when I'm dissed.
Thanks for 10 great years.

Thanks for all yoi do !
Bump.
MUScoop goes to 11.

Congrats. You have kept your baby alive all the way to middle school despite us constantly trying to kill it.
In honor of your 11th birthday, I bought you a membership:

Happy Birthday, Scoop! I just came for the tinfoil party hats.
Good lord. Better enjoy the next two years. Before you know it scoop will be 13... a teenager. Sneaking out at night and getting viruses on purpose probably.
I hope this doesn't mean the subscription price to Scoop is going to increase....not that it isn't worth what we pay for it!

I'm hoping it doesn't go through a rebellious stage and turn into a Badger board.
I guess Ners and Chicos are not invited to the party.
Job well done by all involved. Your efforts are greatly appreciated. Looking forward to reading great posts during the upcoming season.

Ought to be a federal holiday. Close the banks, open the bars.

Having an open bar has likely been the cause of and solution to all of the problems with MUScoop

I read this almost every day and enjoy everyone's take on MU basketball.
Best site anywhere!
Congrats Scoop! A donation of $20 was made in your name to the Human Fund.
It makes too much sense that scoop is in the throes of its preteen years.
In 100 years, no one will ever care that we posted on this website.
Happy birthday, MUScoop. I'm grateful you exist.
Kudos to the staff and posters of Scoop And best of luck in the coming season.

I am extremely disappointed that a high-quality Marilyn Monroe imitator didn't sing "Happy Birthday to Scoop"!
Oh well, happy bd anyway.
BTW, I checked just now to see when I signed up for Scoop and it was 10/19/11 ... so I just passed my 6-year Scoopiversary.
Six years, no teal ever, and only banned for one long weekend. I consider that victory!

Happy B'Day to one of my "go to" sites for MU Bball news! Went to my first Warrior game at age 14 with tickets given to us from Coach Hank... then was able to see somepractices at the Old Gym! I have been hooked since then with sons and grandchildren avid fans! This site gives so many of us
'Older' fans the opportunity to keep current with news and recruiting 365 days of the year...Very Thankful to you guys!!!
Thanks to the mods for providing the definitive website on Marquette basketball. And on many other topics, too - when we're not at each other's throats I learn more (and laugh more) here than on any other site I visit. Happy Birthday, Scoop - here's to many more!

Looking forward to getting back into the Scoop swing of things. Appreciate all the work that goes into running the site. Very much looking forward to a fun season in the new arena. Thanks again and congrats!!
Seems like yesterday I was in the hotel room in Kansas City reading the brand new MUScoop before the 2006 CBE games against Texas Tech and Duke.
Congrats to the mods on a dozen years!
P.S. Remember the dunk meter?
Thanks for making oh so many different voices postings on this site. Another Thousand Years.
Happy Birthday to a great organization.
But the fees!! ;D
Congrats and thanks!!
Nicely done on a dirty dozen, but I do have one question:
What's an MUScoop?

By my count, I drank 13,140 beers during these 12 years.

not ruin the thread.
ND still sucks
Hang a banner!!!!
The Mods only post the easy posts.
Thanks Wocky, Topper, Spiral, and So Cal.

Really? No one could have slipped an Arby's coupon in with your birthday post?
It's like you don't even care.
Enjoy.

Great. Scoop is entering the sulky, misunderstood adolescent phase. Because it was so happy go lucky before.
My man, T-Bone comes thru.
Yep, MUScoop is a tween now.

Enterin' puberty, hey?
Turns out I'm not satisfied with this purchase (far less ellipses than the previous version I had). I was told you have a Nordstrom like return policy. I would like all my money back.

That was in 2008. And in the subsequent 11 years, you have averaged >19 days per year!
It might have been scoops b-day, but it's cuz of folks that consistently spend their time here that MUScoop isn't just a thing of the past.
Thirteen. Isn't that the age a lad of the Jewish persuasion celebrates his Bar Mitzva?
Traditionally, the father of the bar mitzvah gives thanks to God that he is no longer punished for the child's sins.
