Is Georgetown the host for the games in DC? If so I assume their season tickets holders would have been offered tickets. I'd also assume they would cheer for us?
Yikes they hate us on their board!

QuoteTo me Marquette is a total joke. Ive never seen a team catch so many breaks in one season (soft BE schedule, facing teams with injured/suspended players, and a Davidson team that choked one away)
They suck. Their sweet 16's are flukes. They lack a killer instinct and will never be taken seriously
QuoteWhen they had Crean and Wade they were cool with a Butler/VCU/Gonzaga vibe. But now they are run by Curly.
QuoteI realize now why no one cares about Marquette. Even with their third straight Sweet Sixteen, the external perception is they are a slight notch above Butler. They would never be a finalist for Nerlens, or get a Josh Smith transfer. They are cute and cuddly and have no chance at a Final Four.

will somebody please forward this to Buzz in case he needs some more edge?
I hope they enjoy their respectable early exit from the tourney as we suffer through our non-legit Sweet Sixteen berth
The last 5 years Georgetown has been an embarrassment to the Big East in march. I fully expect MU to outclass them in the new conference year after year.
My favorite line "they are cute and cuddly and have no chance at a final four"
Well Georgetown, you are not cute, you are not cuddly, you are not tough, you are not sexy, you are not anything. And you literally have the same Final Four chances as DePaul. Way to lose to a waaaaaaaaay lower seed. Again.
The funny thing is that we have a greater chance at making the final four this year than georgetown. At least we don't lost to double-digit seeds multiple years in a row.

The only "cute" thing about Georgetown is how they are afraid of having VCU in the league and prefer the lesser Richmond.
Our wins are making them money.
Georgetown, you mad?

Tad bitter, eh? HAHA
Id be mad too if I had to watch that awesome FGCU oop and couldn't properly enjoy it.
Someone else on the board said
"What did the teams with Nerlens and Josh Smith do this weekend?"

Only a few comments anti-MU, some pro-MU posts as well.
The line about Josh Smith killed me. Those guys need to watch some film on him.
Fact is, without Jeff Green, JT III has done jack in the tourney.

We really need them to step it up.
Let's not forget one of their best players on Friday originally wanted to be at Marquette.
Hey GTown, don't hate us because we're beautiful.
Nobody goes to GU games except for the Syracuse game, so don't expect much support from G'Town fans.

The toss is more impressive then the finish... and it's a damn impressive finish!

Georgetown, you mad?
I hope so.... I'm f-ing p.o.'d at Georgetown right now to begin with. Here we take the good time and effort to start a new conference, and when faced with an opportunity to carry some tourney success (and credibility) into our inaugural season, they go and crap the bed to a school that wasn't even a full D-I member the last time they lost to a 14-seed.
So you're mad at MU, random idiot Georgetown fan? I seriously hope GU isn't granting degrees to idiots like you because you need to get a frickin' clue. We're the ones involuntarily having to carry your luggage you left behind in Philly last night. Not to mention, your school has got all the money and prestige in our little group, yet our school is the one who's writing a bigger check to the conference next year.
I guess their recruiting is a few notches closer to Nerlens and Josh Smith than ours, though it has resulted in a style barely more tolerable to watch than UW's and even less success. I'd lose my mind and start hating on everyone too if we lost to double digit seeds five times in a row, with three first round exits by double digits. Three Sweet 16s in a row is a trend, not a fluke, similar to their current NCAA trend. You make your own damn luck by playing hard and working for it.
To be fair, some praise as well:
QuoteLiving in Wisconsin, I see Marquette play an awful lot. This team is the least talented team that Buzz has coached in his 5 years. Yet they somehow found a way to tie for a Big East Conference title, and are now in the Sweet 16 for another year. Other than Vander Blue there is not a blue chip recruit on the team. Yet, Buzz finds a way every year to get his teams to out compete their opponents. Also, before some of you bury Marquette, Buzz has put together a nice recruiting class next year. If Marquette won a regular season title with this limited group of basketball players, look out for what may happen down the road.
QuoteGiven our current state of affairs, I'm having a lot of trouble looking down at their program right now.
QuoteWhat did the teams with Nerlens and Josh Smith do this weekend?

This sums it up best.
Georgetown is sexy.
A sexy yearly first round upset pick.

This is splendid. Reading these "who is Marquette" comments is making me mad, especially coming from Gtown fans. Anybody wanna go over there, knock on the door, give them a piece of our minds? Oh, and while we're over there, give them their welfare check?
Nothing like ripping on a team when your guys just got dominated. ::)
So, Georgetown is the new Notre Dame (arrogant fan base we can hate) and Butler is the new Louisville (competitive back and forth games so we kinda hate them but respect them at the same time), so will Xavier or Creighton be the new Georgetown (other Jesuit school we pretend to respect but want to kick their ass)? Bring on the new Beast!
Xavier will be fun. Creighton will be competing with Seton Hall and DePaul for the basement of our new league.
That sucks (sorry LW). You have to wait to be approved before you can start posting. I don't want to sleep it off--the audacity of those comments are still fresh in my mind.
I dont know I feel like the GTown fans talking smack are a few...not the fanbase as a whole. Who cares what the minority of their fanbase thinks. Its in their best interests if we do well.
