Title: Cheer loudly for Wojo on Sat
Post by: 94Warrior on February 28, 2020, 12:38:30 PM
It is clear the Nojo Bros will be booing on Sat.
Asking them not to will most likely have the opposite effect.
The only way to neutralize them is for a strong response of support.  Cheer loudly when Wojo gets introduced, and...

DROWN THEM OUT!!!!

I’m on 4 different #mubb text strings with MU grads. 

Average grad per string: 4  besides me
Everyone is married, presumably happily
Everyone has healthy kids
Everyone is gainfully employed
Everyone attends 3+ games / year

Not one is a died in the wool ProJo
Most are unsatisfied
1-2 are upbeat on outlook

Only a few are on Scoop and they are lurkers.

Most of my MU conversations this year  are negative.  Even neighbors etc it’s “dude what’s wrong with your team”

I don’t enjoy the negativity.  I’d rather be 100% on board.

As every 12 year old suburban hooligan knows it's not the egg hitting the car but the car stopping and driver giving futile chase.

In the long, proud, storied annals of Scoop the most magnificent moment was Jen Lada, full of righteous indignation, creating an account to challenge insipid banality.   

It was a beautiful moment. It was Scoop's 'Raising of the Colors on Mt Surabachi.'

BTW this weekend is the 75th anniversary of the battle of Iwo Jima, one of the bloodiest of WW 2, where over 7 thousand marines and naval personnel died. The honorable dead. Where General Holland "Howlin" Mad Dog Smith described the campaign as "...where uncommon valor was a common virtue"

This is a good point and the primary reason I’ve been more supportive of Wojo this year. The team has exceeded my expectations, BUT, if we collapse from here on out?  It will once again be peak frustration.

That aside, I’m  going to bring a massive sign to the game that says:  “Cheer Wojo.”

I agree that this has been Wojo’s best effort at MU. While hardly world beaters they have been competitive in virtually every game and probably have 2-3 more wins than I expected. That said, at some point the bar has to be much higher than they currently are at. As for today, I think we likely lose and will again make final score closer than the deficit was much of the game.

I have "bounced" at the Navy-run airfield at Iwo and took advantage of doing several Surabachi fly-bys. That is a really small patch of volcanic sand.

All of the violence unleashed by both sides in such a contained space is unimaginable.

Say what you will about Jarheads but I have nothing but respect for their training, heritage, and culture. Every American owes something to the Marine Corps for they embody the very best of we as a people.

Willie,

My Dad was a Marine and Iwo Jima was one of the islands he fought on. At his funeral (almost 20 years ago) my brothers and I read letters he sent from the LST prior to the landing and battle. They were remarkably optimistic, reassuring my Mom and her family about their preparation, righteousness and ultimate success. Those guys were indeed the greatest generation.

Rocket, you know who I am talking about: the guys whose posts are negative 95% of the time and slam the players and team in the game thread after every turnover or foul. The ones who call for Wojo's firing after every loss. Why do these people bother to follow the team if all it brings them is anger and extreme disappointment?

I just don't understand this kind of attitude towards something that they allegedly love. It sounds like a toxic relationship to me, and perhaps they need to end it.

The anti-Wojo crowd also disappears after a win even though they are ripping on the team in the game thread.  And their constant whining and bitching has driven many good posters away from this board because of the irrationality of that group.  It appears that they would prefer MU to lose this game and one game next week just to get rid of Wojo.  Forget the fact we have a top 10-15 recruiting class coming in, forget the fact that we have two 5 Star recruits in attendance and forget the fact that this season isn't even frickin' over.  They have made their decision and have moved on.  Any success makes them look foolish and thus, they double down.

It is a shame that people will boo today and I am embarrassed as an alum by their behavior.

Yes the WW 2 vets were indeed the greatest generation. What this country did to prepare for that war and then win it all in about 6 to 7 years was truly exceptional. May your father rest in peace, because he truly must have seen horror on Iwo. If you have not already read it, check out Flags of Our Fathers by James Bradley? written by his son.

I agree Goose.  Think it is fair to expect Marquette to be able to occasionally make some noise in the NCAA, reach some Sweet 16s, particularly by next year being Year 7 of the regime.

I sure don't have confidence that we win today, but it wouldn't surprise me either.  This is where we are as a program in Markus's last game - Coin flip at home against KenPom #20 Seton Hall.

The "Golly Gee" people just have their lives in perspective where we realize a loss by our team doesn't ruin our days.  Not so for everyone.



THIS.

I have been a fan of MU since my dad (an alum) got season tix midway through the Al years. I was at every tournament game during the National Championship run in '77, have a stack of old programs and other souvenirs taller than me, attended MU as a student and later got my own season tickets...and then kept them for another fifteen years after I moved 4 1/2 hours away from Milwaukee. I have seen the good and the bad, from Al to the Piano Man, from the NC game and the UConn and UK wins to the devastating loss to Miami (Oh) in '78. The bad hurts, and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the good.

But I have other things in my life, so when the bad comes I remember that it isn't catastrophic. A bad season isn't stave IV cancer or a major car accident or a night club shooting. It won't lead to the loss of a loved one or my financial security or even my neighbor's dog. No - it's a disappointment. A big one sometimes, but a disappointment. Nothing more, and nothing less.

And I don't boo ANYONE who is doing his or her level best to represent this university with dignity.

We Are Marquette!

Well, if the players not being able to hit a shot is the coach's fault for recruiting them, what wouldn't be traced back that?

I thought it was very telling that Wojo got a loud cheer during Markus’ speech.  Those who are willing to support the coach also were there to support the players despite a tough day.   Those who choose to boo couldn’t wait to get out of there. 

Those who think it’s soft to be affected by boos are living in a fantasy world.  We all would be.  It’s not that you’re packing up and leaving it, but you’re willing to listen when you don’t feel wanted...just like any job.  It probably isn’t a coincidence that any recent coach to get to the sweet sixteen has chosen greener pastures.

It's a self-selected crowd.  I've watched ~25 senior night ceremonies.  Win or lose, a minimum of 50% of the crowd leaves at the end of the game.  Sometimes 75% leave, like today.     This leaves a minority category: those who want to honor the seniors.   I guarantee you, there were fans that stayed who have boo'd Wojo in the past and want him gone.  They weren't gonna protest during the senior's speeches.

I have not been happy with his results and I express my displeasure here and elsewhere.  However, this guy was belligerent and personal.  He was ultimately removed as the fans around him got Security.  I have it on good authority this guy popped off to Markus’ family.

In short that is some BS.  I was bummed by the results.  However SHU is really, really talented.  They were better.  Markus’ teammates showed up a little too late.  Not a Pro-Jo but we have to keep our crap together in Public.

We stayed for the post-game speeches as we always do. As we sit up high we frankly did not hear the mud game Fire Wojo comments, and knew nothing about the guy ejected for yelling at the Howards. I am sad to hear about both, frankly.
I thought Markus’s comments made it very clear how he feels about Wojo, and I turned to my friends and said that to me it was clear he didn’t like the negative stuff. I also thought that people cheered because it was Markus being heartfelt,  not out of support for Wojo necessarily. We cheered because it’s how we roll in general.
We will be out in NYC, I hope there is nothing but full-throated support out there.

When I saw Wojo walk briskly off the court after the speeches, he seemed a little more pissed than usual after a loss.
I believe Wojo can take the boos.
I don’t think Wojo can handle people/fans attacking either his players or their families...and IMHO, this was the last straw. He's not staying at a place that events like this happen.
He’s disgusted by it, and since he couldn’t control it he feels he let the Howards down. Unfortunately, other families were close by as well.
Even prior to this happening yesterday, I have heard an interview with Stan this week, Watching the game when I got home we saw Stan take over the huddle. Just a guess at this point, but I see Wojo leaving and setting Stan up for the job. Killings stays on under Stan to save Oso and Lewis. Dawson..IDK.
Just a hunch. But that seemed too much for Wojo to take, especially on such a special day for the family.

Yep, I definitely cheered, whistled, and clapped a little louder when Markus said Wojo’s name. When I saw the cameraman making his way to the coaches lineup, I thought, c’mon crowd when Wojo’s mug is on the big screen, cheer, please.

As much criticism as he might deserve, he might also deserve some for the three outstanding men and basketball players who left it all on the court yesterday and for the last 1-5 years. Props to those who stayed and cheered, no judgement for those that chose not to or couldn’t. I would recommend finding the speech from Markus, proud MU Family moment.

See Xavier. Sean Miller. Chris Mack. Travis Steele. Mullin at STJ. Assistant coaches have been promoted for many coaching cycles. Same can be said for Crean and Buzz(not including 1 year as HC at UNO).
What did Buzz prove to get promoted to a high major?
Plenty of assistant coaches get high major coaching jobs.
Stan is very well connected to the west coast. Markus, Brendan, Jayce, and Oso all came here to play for Stan.

It really depends on how/why the coach leaves I think. Many of the coaches you mentioned had success and left for greener pastures and it made sense to hire an assistant to try and keep the momentum going. If Wojo leaves after this year, the perception will be that he couldn’t handle it here and I don’t think it would sit well to hire one of his assistants regardless of how capable they may be. Although, I think the MU program would be interesting with Stan as coach.

Mullin wasn’t an assistant at STJ, but I’d add Butler. Matt’s, Lickliter, Stevens, Miller, then Holtmann we’re all internal promotions of assistants.

Stan is arguably more accomplished, and certainly more experienced as an assistant at the high major level, than Buzz was when he was hired. 3 diff high major stops, multiple years as an AHC, well connected and skilled recruiter.

Well. I guess I shouldn’t expect anything in the world of academia administration to function like the private sector. “Promote from within,” is common. Many ineffective leaders have been replaced by known, in-house, talented personnel.

Doesn’t mean you don’t evaluate external options as well. However, Stan has performed quite well in his role as lead recruiter - and therefore he’s at minimum worth an interview.

To answer your question though - I cannot name such an instance but I do not keep up closely whatsoever with the comings and goings of coaches. I do know, however, that making decisions based on “its never been done before,” is not very enlightened nor progressive.

Cottingham got skewered for hiring Buzz. Yet sometimes it’s plain as day to know if a guy has it or not. I believe Stan has “it.”

I can't see a top 50 team hiring Wojo.  He has shown zero ability to get a team to that next level, i.e. top 25.

So you're looking for a top 100 team that wants to get to the top 50, which would be a decent step downward.

Wojo's got a better deal here, and since MU seems copacetic with being a 6th place Big East team.

I agree .. Wojo desperately needs to reset his clock.  If he somehow got MU to the S16 this year, he would be gone before Shining Moments was played.

My biggest gripe with Wojo has been the lack of guard prospects he has recruited in 5 or 6 years besides Markus.It is troubling that Chartouny and McEwen were the players counted on to run the team the last two years.There are a lot of guards in the Country and that is what MU ends up with.That is totally unacceptable and should never happen.

Will the admin remain copacetic if big $ donors complain more.  If there are more fire wojo signs on campus, if the boos continue next year or get louder, or if fans yell at the family of one of the greatest players MU has ever had and are escorted out by police?

I’d say Wojo being our coach next year is probably 50/50 at this point.  This is starting to feel very much like Buzz’s last month and a half at MU.  We’re recognizing it because we’ve seen it before.  I can’t put my finger on it, but his body language, energy, and behavior in press conferences just makes it seem like he’s no longer “all in” on the job.

There was some renewed energy for the program when Garcia signed, but with the way the season has played out and last year’s awful collapse followed by Hausershima, I think he’s finally realized that he won’t be able to win at a high level here.  He’s not a bad guy, he was just never the right fit for this job.  The most successful coaches here have been renegades with chips on their shoulders, and Wojo ain’t that.  And that’s probably what it takes to win big at Marquette.

Hate to tell you but any program that has tradition is going to be no different.

Perhaps the poster who stated Mane isn’t coming is on to something, Mane May know Wojo is leaving. I agree that Wojo’s demeanor recently would at least suggest something is up and mentioned it in another thread yesterday...very Buzzish which all made sense in retrospect...checked out.

You suggesting he would tell high school recruits that hes leaving? he tells them but no one else? who would trust them anyway. News could leak easily

Not saying Wojo told him, saying Mane may know something is up, who knows, Mane might still be coming, all speculation but something doesn’t smell right.

The poster who says Mane is unlikely to commit to MU doesn’t base his thesis on either Wojo leaving or Wojo leaving and Mane knowing about it.

Maybe y'all are right and Wojo will be fed up enough to look elsewhere. I don't think so. I think Wojo is more of stubbornly prove someone wrong type then a cut and run type. Just my take.

This. And considering he apparently at least listened to VPI I think it’s very possible he moves on.

Source?

Weird that Tyrese Hunter (a 2021 recruit) would be offered after yesterday's game then, no?

Hey homeless people getting booed on Maury can handle it.  I think the coach making millions to be mediocre can handle em too.

So you think a staged tv show is the same as this situation?

The lunacy of our own fans is stunning...
