Here's a new topic for Unleash to post his 75 replies every time there's a big name transfer committing somewhere besides Marquette. Can whine about Ben Gold being a "bitch," MU being a "poverty program," or how DUI's aren't bad as long as someone didn't die.
Have at it guy. Your own thread to air out all of your complaints. Leave the portal thread to the adults that don't want to have to scroll through your meltdowns for 5 minutes between any post that includes actual portal information.
Scoop sure is salty these days.
Oh no, I've made the guy who doesn't know timezones mad.

Reality is a bitch.
Watching us face reality is a crying shame.

A 20 loss season and two players still on the team that some Scoopers believe should not be here will do that.

You're starting to sound a little holier than Scoop.
We only have one pool. If you don't like it, don't swim.
Only starting?
Rocky, if it is OK to trash the players to the nth degree, what is the problem with treating posters with the same energy?

The underboard crew's new forum will be up soon, for those who find Scoop too much of a cesspool.

Man...if you think folks here are rough on players (trashing = "doesn't deserve a scholarship"?)...

We're just the poverty board anyways, too poor to pay for dodds premium experience.

Not only that, but the entire point of this board is to talk about Marquette basketball. You can't really do that without having conversations about the players and their performance.

There's a portion of the board who shame those of us who criticize players performances.
I think they truly believe the players read the board.

Not that it's ok to trash players as nauseam but there's a lot of nuance you're leaving out here.
At a high major program like Marquette you're a public figure who is now getting paid to perform well as the primary marketing and fundraising channel for our university. Not even mentioning the full ride that many of us took out loans for and are paying off for year. Given it's widely accepted that public figures are open for criticism (politicians, musicians, actors, athletes) then within our Marquette community these celebrities are certainly open for criticism.
Meanwhile, we're fans and even stakeholders of Marquette. Marquette's performance could theoretically lead to a higher tier of student applying (iirc correctly there's a direct correlation between application increases and a final four) and therefore a higher perception of the degree. Ignoring all fandom, having an MU degree that increases in value due to on court success means we are invested in the players performing well. If they aren't performing it's fair to call that out. Meanwhile, we as plebeians who maybe represent maybe 1/20 Marquette alumni a person will come across throughout their life don't have the same pressure to succeed as representatives of the university.

Are you saying the posters who do dive into the "cesspool" are not the problem but the posters who don't dive into the "cesspool" are the problem?
Can only speak for myself, but I have no problem with Scoopers criticizing anything and everything. However ...
It does get tiring to read the same exact criticisms from the same exact posters over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. We get it ... last season was historically bad, Caedin shouldn't even be on a D3 roster, and Shaka should be on the hot seat soon (if not already). Duly effen noted!
Then again ... nobody is forcing any of us (including me) to read those posts, so whatevs. Carry on, my wayward sons.

Add "and same exact defenses" after the bolded and then I agree with what you are saying. How many times did we hear "one bad season" over and over and over again, and how many times did we get lectured about Shaka's success in the first 3 1/2 or 4 years (another dispute that was argued over and over and over again) as a counterbalance to explaining this past season?

We should focus on more timely and less exhausted topics, like bringing back football, the team's mascot and Wojo.
I think it's princess Diana's fault that the paparazzi harrassed her since she chose to be such a public figure. She deserved it because of her position.
Shoot, I forgot what we were discussing here. I was going to say something about revealing character in HOW you criticize people... publicly or privately. But I got off track somehow and ended up with a random thought about princess Dianna.
Anyway, I think MUBB is going to be GREAT next year! 8-)

Willie Wampum vs. Iggy? Ha! No contest. But you can keep Wojo. He's all yours.

Well, critizing players is one thing. Insulting them is another. I understand the line can be blurry.
