The 1987-88 team was brutal.  That was then worst team since Al came to MU.  This year's team has a shot to take that title.  Especially since we have made four straight NCAA tournaments.

I like the idea of giving the little guys a chance. Unfortunately, they have no freakin' chance, so it just makes for horrible TV.

Quote from: Jay Bee on December 20, 2025, 05:20:15 PMAm I just a bachelor slob, or is it strange that so many people don't have a two (or more) TV setup for sports, or utilize split screens, etc.?

3 TVs, side by side, is a must for sports fans imo.
Got that set up in my basement.

Unfortunately, for 3 hrs tonight I wish I had 0, but then the bears got switched to the big one and they won

Quote from: CreightonWarrior on December 20, 2025, 11:56:08 PMThe injuries are only getting worse, not better. Defense doesn't get turnovers, can't get to the QB and can't get a stop when it matters. Gary didn't even record a tackle his first game without parsons.  Red zone offense is completely broken. We all know ST can lose the game any given day. I guess I'll have whatever you're having.

None of the injuries tonight seemed serious, plus they'll get Williams, Love, and Tom back shortly. Gotta win next week but if they do they're good

Quote from: Vander Blue Man Group on Today at 12:04:45 AMNo, it doesn't. But definitely double down on such an insane post.

Jesus man, I'm not being literal. I know you, wades, elonsmusk have to get off on semantics so no we didn't become actual DePaul. To spell it out, for Marquette to be as bad as a DePaul team should never happen, and that's our current reality.

Food for thought

Last year Seton Hall was 7-25.

They got TEN new players from the portal.

They are 11 - 1 so far this year.

Always 1 year away with the Portal

Quote from: Markusquette on December 20, 2025, 11:47:08 PMTalent is multi-faceted. If you have BBIQ that can trump physical gifts. It's a hunger that gets some of these players to the next level and succeeding as well. Tons of dudes come and go in the NBA who have immense physical talent but no IQ, drive, motor, support system, etc.

No doubt.  The players at MU over the last several years had all those attributes in spades.  Shaka was lucky to have them and visa versa.  Was a great match for him and them.

No, it doesn't. But definitely double down on such an insane post.

If Shaka is willing to chase off guys who have no business playing here (Sean, Caedin, Tre) or aren't invested (Zaide), while replacing them with legit talent from the portal, then great. Let's keep it going.

I have zero faith he's willing to do that. By all accounts he's gonna double down by "growing" these guys. If you think that's gonna yield a competitive team next season then pass me some of that good stuff. He's notorious for not liking to be pushed to do things not his way, and Mike Broeker is nothing more than a yes man who caters to Shaka.
