Who is your favorite scooper to converse with? You could like or hate this person. Just who gives you the most entertainment on this board!
-
I'm voting for myself. Because it is a risky vote and expect no one else to do so.
Or I vote for Henry Sugar.

My favorite scoop poster to READ is Keefe - at his best he's erudite and creative, our version of "The most interesting man in the world". Ziggy, 4ever, Lens and PNR are also high on my list.
To DEBATE, I'd pick Guns. He's logical, fair and tries to stay on point. I don't always agree with his conclusions but I enjoy his well reasoned arguments.

Awww, what a sweetheart.
However, I disagree with you ;)

OP must be afraid of you as he listed you as guns without ammo.

Does being first on the list mean I'm the number 1 seed?
-
TAMU is rapidly becoming a go to guy in regards to inside info. Keefe is hands down the most interesting poster. I have soft spot for any of the older guys, 4ever, Lenny, Sir Lawrence and anyone else that remembers back to the 60's. Would add that across the board the most active posters on here all have positives and I seldom get pissed off debating anyone.

Are we going to make these votes public or...?

Forgot to mention Chico's...he is Hall of Famer for sure.

All of the above? Would the same names be listed for least favorite?

Same two for me.
One more I would add is MU82 - as the poster I am closest in agreement with. Apparently, at least on BB related items we are almost in unanimous agreement. I always check to see what he said on a topic before I post so I don't just repeat what he said.

Wow ... that's the best compliment I've received since the 10-year-old Little League catcher turned to ask me if I also umpired MLB games!
BTW, I'm already on the list. (For better or worse. Probably worse.)
-
This poll had the potential to be a good one. It was poorly executed on my end, as I mistakenly omitted some of Scoops finest. My bad!

I should have been clearer. Another poster had put his choices for Read and Debate. I was adding a 3rd category to that - the poster with whom I had the most Agreement.
And, catchers ARE the smartest guys on the field. I never caught.
-
I think it's telling that the moderators aren't listed in the poll. Power hungry crap-posters.
-
Wait a second... I call BS. Chicos and Keefe are the same guy, right?

How many of the top vote getters have had time outs in the past year? ;)

I wasn't smart enough to catch, either, though my kid did through high school. And he was smart enough to have me for a Dad!

I am getting flashbacks of my high school homecoming court elections.....

Chicos because he's the most respectful during debates.
Keefe is a near second because his pics are classic, but most of his post goes right over my head.

Thanks. Never had a chance in high school.
Not only was our homecoming queen beautiful, she was was brilliant and extremely nice to everyone. She is now one of the most respected pediatric neurosurgeons in the U.S., and, oh yes, a favorite to win the Republican primary in the upcoming senate race in Oregon.

So, keefe is like a Playboy magazine?

I absolutely refuse to participate in such a juvenile exercise. This poll is meaningless and clearly undermines the value of so many less heralded and less popular but substantially more intellectually riveting and engaging posters. In short, the poll is worthless.
As the first exhibit in support of my position I proffer SMU17. What poll on favorite Scoop posters that does not pay homage to SMU17 can ever be considered legitimate? That question is rhetorical by nature, my dear friends, and an answer need not be received. But, it proves the point.
Case closed.

My favorite poster is Big Daddy
However I believe there needs to be a special category for posters who did not attend MU but became fans anyway.
Kind of like Naturalized Citizens or Illegal Immigrants who received amnesty ;D

Big Daddy? Where has he been of late? He is AWOL since Buzz left town and wish he provide some insight on the Wojo hire and new AD search.

My appreciation lies in the spirit and intent rather than the misspelling of sycophantic. Besides, one could more politely attribute that as likely just an inadvertent fat fingering rather than an actual lack of knowledge.
The real irony, Murray, would have been for me to bury Caeser while also praising him, would it not?

Actually, I saw the irony not in spelling (if there was a misspelling, I have to admit to missing it), but in the tone of your praise for PRN after his attack on those who are sycophantic.

I will admit to having a rather keen appreciation for the Puerto Rican's droll, if acerbic, take on the foibles of The Tanned One. But sycophant is not something that has ever been used to describe this Air Force Colonel.

Whoa, whoa, whoa...don't load everyone onto the fecal sniffing express bus!
But we all need to recognize the seminal efforts of both The Puerto Rican Dreamer and The Painless Yanker in stating that the Emperor was not just unclothed but was supremely underendowed. I think I would put Lenny and I in that second wave of Jacobins who picked up the Rabelaisian Torch to cast light on the grotesque figure known as The Bronzed Beast.

I was too young early in ICubed's tenure to truly follow what kind of a person and coach he was, but my one claim to fame was recognizing his Escalade from my 7th floor dorm room in Abbotsford my freshman year the night he went into the Al after taking the It's Indiana, It's Indiana job at midnight to clear out his office and trying to wait him out with 2 friends, finally giving up, only to see him and 2 of his boys leaving the Al as we were about to enter Abbotsford, and letting him know he didn't sneak by everybody.

We had thought about some sort of cover up but unfortunately they swiped student IDs to get into the dorms so coming in at 1:30 AM on a week night would've been pretty easy to narrow down suspects. Would've had to have found a place to stay overnight, and even that they have cameras on entrances at the dorms so just see who left late at night.

Marquette University apologizes for your inconvenience. If they'd only known you'd be waiting him out, they might not have chosen to slow TC down by throwing his valuables into the dumpster, thereby slowing him down by the time needed to do a dumpster dive.

Anyone remember Emmet Prosser from the JS? He worked there when the tanned one was in town. He was the first to clue me in on Crean being an a hole.
Emmet and I were trading emails about how he used to visit his Uncle Pat, who was at that time, a fellow Schroeder 10 S resident. Emmet was a spry young lad when he would come visit us back in the day. Emmet clued me in to the vile ways of the bronzed worm.
I trust that Emmet is doing well in his current endeavors.

What can you say about a man who goes to collect his personal effects in the middle of the night? A real man walks into the building during regular business hours, offers thanks to those who assisted him over the years, and then collects his belongings. Tanned Tommy slithered in under the cover of darkness. I cannot possibly begin to fathom Crean's fears and motivations but every aspect of his behavior during his departure episode was nothing less than cowardice.
Since you were a member of SOCOM you know that we are expected to make decisions and be man enough to live (or die) by them. A real man would have understood that there was nothing wrong with changing employers. But for God sake have the stones to live up to the decision and do right by the people who have supported you for years. I endorse 4ever's description of Crean's behavior as fraudulent. And since you spent time at Hurlburt you would know that tab wearing TACPs would characterize Crean's actions in far earthier terms.
I have heard stories about KO strutting around campus decked out in Tennessee orange. Though gauche he at least was man enough to show his face. Crean's entire departure lacked maturity, sophistication, courage, and confidence - precisely the qualities one would wish for in any leadership role.
I believe genuine leaders earn their pay when the going is tough. But listen to Tanned Tommy's post defeat press conferences. He consistently blames the players and others for the failure. When there is glory, though, who is always front and center? There is very little to admire in Tom Crean.
How then would you evaluate the manner in which Crean left Marquette?

I would agree that there isn't a ton to admire about Crean, and he didn't handle the departure very well from a MU perspective. He is a flawed person and a flawed coach. His coaching flaws are getting exposed more and more at IU. All of that stated, I respect what he did at MU, and I don't think he is a complete fraud.
I get that some of you can't get beyond his personal flaws, but I don't see it as all or nothing.

teamdee = mixinawilson?
Where is mixinamatt?
I dont think so. I know Teem Dee and he is a MUHS alum, and was once in a Sports Illustrated picture as the St. Thomas Tommies defeated College of Wooster in the D3 College World Series. Im sure if you ask him about it he will tell you, in fact he will probably tell you if he did not ask.
Although TeemDee does love fishing and Mixinamatt does have that strange fisherman with the TN hat on his avatar. One time I actually hooked TeemDee in the eye lid while fishing up in Vilas County. Dude didnt talk to me for like 9 months.

Sadly this is true. After a few beers I hooked my buddy in the eye and we had to go to some small hospital. In the hospital waiting room, i was surrounded by some very surly looking native americans who were watching "the Big Bang Theory" very strange scene.

It's not about the man's personal flaws per se. It's about how these flaws impact his ability to lead.
Crean's positive attributes include an ability to generate excitement and a willingness to assume risk. Unfortunately, while he demands authority he shirks the concomitant responsibility. Command is about inspiring, mentoring, developing, disciplining, and evaluating for mission accomplishment of the team.
At the end of the day, Tanned Tommy will succeed or fail based on the bottom line performance of the team and the jury is already shaking its collective head. Any rancor, distaste, or disgust I have for the man has nothing to do with his struggles as a coach or the detestable manner of his leaving Marquette. Rather, it is the abysmal treatment he metes out routinely to other human beings. Fear and coercion work as an inducement for performance but it is rarely sustainable. The irony is that the greater the shortfall in productivity the more despotic becomes the tyrant. It will be bloody miserable this year in Bloomington.

How many Marquette girls did not have this hairstyle back in the late 70s? It was almost as if there was a requirement to have this do.
There was definitely a uniform for Marquette coeds back then: Khakis or Calvin Klein jeans, Lacoste polos in warmer weather or LL Bean cowl necks or alpine sweaters, Frye boots, and down vest all topped by the glamorous yet practical Hammill flip do.

Martinifest leaves art museum shaken and stirred
Booking procedures reviewed after wild rental event; 2 artworks being examined
By MARY LOUISE SCHUMACHER
mschumacher@journalsentinel.com
Posted: Feb. 27, 2006
The glistening white Santiago Calatrava addition has made the Milwaukee Art Museum one of the city's classiest social addresses. But a recent martini fete held there turned into an overcrowded, drunken affair. Some unruly guests accosted artworks, which have been taken off display for a checkup.
People threw up, passed out, were injured, got into altercations and climbed onto sculptures at Martinifest, a semi- formal event organized by Clear Channel Radio and held at the museum Feb. 11, according to several people who attended or worked at the event.
"Hindsight is 20-20 . . . it was probably too cheap," Kerry Wolfe, a local programming director for Clear Channel, said of the event's premise - unlimited martinis for $30.
"In our five years of experience, we have never had any problems with rental events," David Gordon, the museum's director, said in a brief written statement responding to questions about the event. "It was not an appropriate event to be held in the museum, and we have reviewed our procedures for bookings."
The art museum rents out space during most weekends and many weeknight evenings for events that often include food and drink, as many museums do. When he arrived about five years ago, Gordon liberalized the museum's policies about whom it would and would not rent space to in an attempt to attract a wider array of audiences for the museum. It is more welcoming to the community now than it was under the previous director, Russell Bowman, when the museum often turned away community groups and an event such as Martinifest would have been unthinkable.
Rental income has become important for the museum in its drive to meet operational costs. It represents 6% of annual revenue, according to the museum.
As was the case with prior events, the sculptures lining one of the long gallerias in the museum's Calatrava-designed building were in close proximity to serving areas during Martinifest. But this time, food, drink and vomit were on and around some of the artworks by night's end, according to some accounts.
"It was crazy," said attendee Kathleen Christians, 39. "People were shoving people over. People were getting sick, screaming, shouting, messing with the artwork."
A group of four young men climbed onto "Standing Woman," a tall, bronze sculpture of a goddess-like woman with exaggerated features by early 20th-century American artist Gaston Lachaise.
"They were standing on it, grabbing the boobs, and somebody was just taking pictures with a cell phone," said Laura Collins, 35.
Asked whether artworks had been damaged or are in need of cleaning, the museum said two sculptures had been removed for "review" and more would be known in two weeks, after the senior conservator returns to the museum and has had a look. The sculptures are made from resilient materials such as bronze
At the event, several vendors ran out of food, drink mix and vodka early on. Some who ran out of mix started pouring straight shots of vodka, according to several accounts.
Restaurants and nightspots that took part in the event, paying $400 each to be included, included Sol Fire, The Knick, Silver Spring House, the Velvet Room, the Wicked Hop and several others.
"We were hoping for a little sophistication, maybe," said Casey Rataczak, 27, a Wicked Hop bartender. "People were shoving their martini glasses in my face and not wanting to talk about the product . . . they were just worked up about getting their booze."
Matthew Wheeler, 32, the beverage manager at The Knick, said the event was "a phenomenal idea" with "poor planning." For an event like that, he said, it is best to hand out drink tickets to limit alcohol intake.
"I have never worked a Summerfest, but it felt like a Summerfest," he said. "It was just non-stop people, people, people."
It might have been the sheer size of the crowd that turned the party into a potentially dangerous and damaging situation.
"We were sardined in," said Collins, a first-time museum visitor. "People, boy, they wanted their martinis."
Tina Zarnoth, 32, said: "It just seemed right off the bat that things were chaotic. There were too many people there . . . people were getting rowdier and rowdier by the hour."
Denise Curran, 34, a lab technician who was injured when someone leaned onto a table that fell onto her legs, said, "You couldn't go anywhere, there was no flow."
"My whole calf is one big, nasty bruise," she added.
In its statement, the museum said it had been "assured by Clear Channel that capacity would be limited to 1,400" and that it "was clear that the assurance was broken."
Clear Channel, a large entertainment corporation that owns six local radio stations, has staged about a half-dozen other events at the museum in the past four years, including one the night before Martinifest. Wolfe said the museum provided information that indicated capacity was 2,175. The museum said it never provided such a number.
The museum and Clear Channel had a preliminary agreement that tickets would be sold for about 1,500, said Wolfe, who called the event "a success" but agreed that it was too crowded. Clear Channel spoke to a woman on the museum's events staff the week before the event and told her what the higher potential number could be, Wolfe said.
"And nothing was ever said" at that time, he added.
A museum statement said there had been ongoing updates from Clear Channel, but a cap had been firmly agreed upon.
The museum's written statement indicated there was no way to determine what the actual attendance was. Vendors said they were expecting from 1,200 to 1,700, based on what Clear Channel had told them. Wolfe said Clear Channel sold 2,010 tickets, and he believed that 1,871 people attended Only a few tickets were sold at the door, he said.
Clear Channel carried insurance for the event, as required by the written contract between the group and the museum, Wolfe said. Clear Channel has not been contacted by the museum about any damage to artworks but assumed that the insurance would cover whatever damage might have occurred, he added.
Police reported nothing major at the fest, but several attendees described minor injuries and other unpleasantries.
"We had seen this girl who had fallen," said Jamie Zwicky, 29, an emergency room nurse who attended the event. "She had a laceration on her head and some blood coming down . . . she looked very intoxicated."
A man who got into what Wolfe called a "family feud" with another man jumped from an outside terrace on the south side of the museum, several reported. The hospital where the man was taken told Wolfe the man was going to be fine.
Zwicky said that when she left about 11 p.m., four ambulances were outside the museum; Wolfe insisted there were two.
Wolfe said the museum agreed to provide security and cleanup staff and that the staffing was inadequate. Trash cans were overflowing and not emptied, he said.
The museum provided seven guards, including a supervisor, and additional support staff adequate for the planned event, the museum said in a statement. Clear Channel believed there were four guards, Wolfe said.
"I didn't see any museum guards," Collins said.
Zarnoth saw a few guards - removing a drunken young woman.
"Her arms were slung over them and her feet were dragging, basically," Zarnoth said. "I'd say that was pretty passed out."
The "Elusive Signs: Bruce Nauman Works With Light" feature exhibit was open for the first two hours of the event, including the first hour open only to VIP ticket holders who paid a premium, but a member of the museum staff stopped people with food or drink from entering.
The museum does not publicly disclose what it charges for its facilities, but Wolfe said it has always been competitive but substantial. Clear Channel traded significant radio advertising for the Martinifest rental, Wolfe said.
Very few museums allow food and drinks in exhibition and collection areas, though a majority permit entertaining in public spaces, according to a 2004 survey of the American Association of Museums. In spaces that are both public and used for displaying art, as in the Milwaukee museum's gallerias, policies vary greatly and are based on circumstance.
Clear Channel plans to stage another Martinifest in 2007 - in a larger location, Wolfe said.

June 18 was the 41st anniversary of one of the craziest nights in Milwaukee Brewer history – the first dime beer night. While the Cleveland Indians held a more celebrated blowout three years later in 1974, the Brewers blazed the way with a totally nutty night of beery debauchery.
And I quote from the esteemed Larry Whiteside story in the next day’s Journal: “There were weird contests – and more contests. One man ordered 130 beers and his group finished them by the sixth inning… Four youths still had 24 cups left when the game ended and were last seen finishing them off.”
It’s almost unimaginable today to sell beer at such a price – the equivalent with inflation would be 57 cents, a ridiculous price for beer, but the team had instituted the promotion to hype the attendance that was lagging in the second year in Milwaukee. It came at the height of the Baby Boom generation’s coming of age when, in deference to the soldiers coming home from Vietnam, the drinking age had been dropped to 18.
In those early days, Friday was not a popular night to go to a game and the team dangled ten cent beer in the face of fans as an enticement to get them in the habit. It should be pointed out that the team did put limitations on purchases: you could only buy six beers – at a time! And the team had set aside 1,000 barrels of beer for this promotion. You read that right – 1,000 barrels. At ten cents a beer, it turned suds into a cheap commodity, so throwing it at each other, at players, ushers and umpires made sense.
Fights broke out almost every inning, sights that had the teams on the top step of their dugouts, but facing away from the action on the field. “I’ve never seen anything like it,” said one Brewer who sat in the bullpen. “It was the wildest crowd I’ve ever seen. They were throwing beer and beer cups all over the place. Everybody seemed to be having a gay old time.”
More from the Journal: “Predictably fights broke out in all sectors of the park, usually matching police against an overenthusiastic and slightly polluted rooter. It was usually a one-sided contest and many of those carried away were released without charge. Surprisingly, the only persons entering the playing field were two young men, who moved so quickly and with such reckless abandon that they were practically ignored by the ushers. Once touching the hallowed ground, they quickly retreated and ordered another.”
In other words, the inmates were running the asylum making it all the more astonishing that the Indians had the same promotion three years later – with inevitable results. The only thing that kept old County Stadium from the riot that occurred in Cleveland was the weather. It rained during the day and it was overcast and cool during the game. The team got about half the attendance they expected.
It just made more room – and beer – for those who showed up. So many people were arrested that an impromptu court was set up to handle the cases – friends described inventive defenses used to try and elude the charges. One man who was nabbed after going into the women’s room to urinate told the judge, “I didn’t see the W-O.” He didn’t get off, but even the judge laughed at that one.
Stories were told for years after. One poor vendor was asked the classic question of the day: “Who’s better: Mays or Aaron?” He was doused with beer for saying ‘Mays,” but it’s likely there was no correct answer to the question.
In the next two seasons, the Brewers held a couple of other ten cent beer nights, but limited fans to a respectful two ten-cent beers total. As time has gone on, the event has been scrubbed from almost any mention online as the Cleveland riot and Disco Night at Comiskey Park have become the center of attention for crazy promotions.

What a GREAT story! Debauchery, lewdness, vomit...a veritable Roman bacchanal under the guise of art.
