Can't get to MKE for it, but would love to see the ceremony.
Will anyone be filming and posting?
Boos kan bee herd via blewtoot, hey?
Doc,
I needed a good laugh. Thanks.
I'd take a guess MU's YouTube channel will have it at some point.
Booing the all time leading scorer in school and conference history on his senior day. Sounds about par for the course with this fanbase. Makes it tough to be a fan knowing who else is.

My apologies. Let me go to a sporting event and boo the people that I claim to be a fan of while they are on their way to a third NCAA Tournament appearance in four seasons! That way I will NOT be the twat anymore!

Lol I didn't realize boos were clearly sent to only the intended. And certainly is doesn't effect the team that the coach they committed to and if you're an upper class man respect enough to stick with for the majority of their career, gets booed.

An intellectually intelligent (or hell, even just "competent") Marquette grad? I was starting to lose faith that they were out there.
That's what the idiots who claim, "Well, we're booing Wojo not the team" don't seem to get. If the players on the team went out there and balled out even in spite of their clearly incompetent, horrendous coach, there would be no booing of Wojo. By booing Wojo you are booing the players.
And I can't believe people have to take time to explain this. Anybody who thinks the players don't hear the booing and take that as directed towards them is as stupid as the booing itself.

Wow, this sure got off the rails fast. I guess what some say about our fan bas is legitimate. I was merely interested in seeing Sacar, Jayce, and of course, Markus, get honored.
Thanks for the sane, informational response, Titan.

No matter how old I get, I never stop learning. For example, today I learned that it's perfectly OK for a Scooper to call a fellow Scooper a "twat." Encouraged, even!
Well, not perfectly ok.
Thanks for the clarification, you ... well you know.

I'm psyched to be there (traveling in from MA), and totally looking forward to honoring Markus and Sacar, both so deserving of our appreciation.

Do we know what time the Senior Day ceremony starts? At the end of last night's game they announced that we should arrive early for the pre-game ceremony, but I don't think they gave a time.
I am a little disappointed that they are going with all black uniforms for Senior Day. It's Leap Day...which is like the one day you're supposed to wear blue and gold in honor of Leap Day William. Also, eat rhubarb.

I had communication with the Athletics Office some time ago, and was told that the senior ceremony will happen 15 minutes before tipoff. Not nearly enough time, in my mind.

If you don't cook your rhubarb you will turn black (and die). Then people will get into a booing war. Thus the uni choice. Proactively heading off disaster, Duh
Saturday looks really nice. Sunny, close to 40. Heading up early with Mrs. C on Saturday. Looking forward to quaffing with my UB peeps this weekend.

Keep it as short as possible, we've got a big game to play. Players need to be concentrating on the game.

I agree with the need to focus, and also feel that it doesn't give players (Markus especially) the attention they deserve. My hope had been that they would switch it back to after the game, as had been done not too long ago.

It is too bad. Hopefully, we win easily so they can pull the seniors to a nice ovation.
I think one year, we went to OT and there was a Bucks game that night, so it was a logistics nightmare. That doesn't seem to be an issue this year.
Those speeches and montages are always special. I remember tearing up during Lockett's speech.
I'll have to basically tell myself it's a 1 o clock tip to get there in time. With the Saturday lines from people closing out at the bar at the same time, it can be a bottleneck to get into Fiserv.

watching British and Irish shows like Derry Girls, Sex Education, London Irish, and End of the F**king World, and Aussie comedian Jim Jefferies, I've noticed gash is a common one. Their insults are so much better than ours! Damn Puritanism...
Having it before the game is stupid.

I prefer having gash before the game. It helps keep me more relaxed as a fan, especially if the game doesn't go so well.
Yeah there's nothing better than the players having to celebrate their senior year after a loss and having the stadium empty out during that loss.
Before the game makes sense.

Both come with their downsides. I just think people can separate a tough loss to celebrate a great 4 year career. Compared to a quick ceremony equivalent to the Season Ticket Holder of the game.
Granted, I would feel differently if it was an 8 PM weeknight start.

I know 3 that post. I am sure there are more that read and maybe post too that I am not aware of.
Hilarious that the meat eating lovers of Scoop talk about "you mess with one you mess with them all" then respond to a female politely asking to refrain from using inappropriate female terms with, "hey how about this one!"
Apparently you mess with one you mess with them all...unless you're a female and then you're just here for what you can do to pleasure men.
Wtf is wrong with people?

Warm-ups before tip, don't have the two teams wait too long when breaking a sweat so allowing a few minutes after and before intros?
I am really going to miss Markus. What we've witnessed the last 4 seasons is incredibly unlikely to occur again in my lifetime at Marquette. And I am 29. We'll see more team success, but we'll never see anyone truly threaten his scoring record. Amazing player, and an even better kid. I wish him nothing but the best as he embarks on his dreams of being an NBA regular. I wouldn't bet against him. Truly astonishing he is still just 20 years old.
I will miss Sacar as well. The epitome of player development and a team first guy. Been a pleasure to watch him turn into a high level player, and wish him nothing but the best in whatever comes next.
Hope these two can finish their career with a deep run. They both deserve it.

You summed up my thoughts. Both guys have been really fun to watch grow.
He may have this record for a long time, because if another player that good comes along he will either go pro or go to a blueblood <ducks>
