Thinking back on the multiple scoop predictions of doom,news breaking, transfers, tweet interpreting over the last 5 years I can't remember a single instance where this board was actually right....Any body recall one?
Either way good work by the Scoopers here. Definitely was cool to follow all the way to the Goodman tweet

Are you being serious?
I'll give you one....I told you guys Mayo would not be back (Keefe did as well), some people lost their minds....we knew he wasn't back and the reasons why. That, of course, was true.

Half of all Scoopers said that Mayo wouldn't be back.

Not even close, especially at the time.
Scoopers have been 100% right.
At the same time, they have also been 100% wrong.
Every conceivable prediction and opinion has been expressed about every event.
Honestly Clam, some on this board are pretty plugged in. It's literally what PT, Anonymous ,and Scrambled Eggs uses for article and show prep. They oughta be payin' us. ;D

Don't pull a muscle.
The most memorable prediction in my opinion was the new member that came on and said Dom James would play against Mizzou (correct opponent IIRC). I believe he was quickly banned for stirring up such wild speculation, and then returned. But I am getting old so I may be making all this up.

The real truth (not to be confused with the "Chico truth"): Todd was in good standing when you implied that he MIGHT NOT be back. At that point your very hedged innuendo was demonstrably wrong. A while later Todd screwed up again and was dropped because of it, whereupon you embarked on a bogus "I told you so" crusade. You're still on it and it's still BS.
Weren't we right about Shaka?
The Underboard has never been wrong.
The news of Buzz leaving for VT broke here before anywhere else.
I said Henry was gone from a good source (a sporting representative). But I feel like everyone did that.

Not everyone. A few said 2 years, one guy said 4 for Henry.
Clam, there have been plenty of scoops, this is definitely not the first, third, or even 10th.

Chico's forensic auditor could confirm this.
I posted the Dom will play (as MarcusW55) and it was the last post I ever made...because I was ridiculed off the site...thought it was some time to heal some wounds...
But thanks MU B2002 for the shout out...great memory...

LT it's cool...I love the passion...just was taken aback at the time...
Scoop nailed the Bo Ryan kanoodling rumors, ai-na?
I've never batted an eye about predictions being wrong. This is an internet board. That's like eating at Taco Bell and complaining about feeling sick to your stomach later that night.
A prediction isn't annoying until it's cryptically put into 156 haikus.
I've personally never been wrong, here or elsewhere.
Hearing rumors that Lazar's ghost isn't so friendly.
Scoop is an infinite room full of monkeys on typewriters. The end.

In the future you should avoid posting breaking news on Scoop. The use of Twitter is the preferred medium for Marquette intel.

Whoa, Bob.... that's some pretty thin skin you've got there. We've been ridiculing people for years and yet they still hang around.
I predict that the board will go nuts and over analyze a twitter posting. Then go quiet over summer.
You heard it hear first.

The great thing about Scoop is that one man's ridicule is another man's adulation!
