Quote from: Hards Alumni on Today at 12:59:26 PMQuick reference, one of the countries the fascist countries of Germany and Italy fought against was the USSR.  A Soviet Socialist Republic.

Fascism is a right wing ideology, Socialism is the polar opposite.

Apologies for trying to teach an old dog new tricks, but you can't really be this stupid and post online without getting dunked on.

He won't even say which media outlets are his "ideal references for truth," so he's pretty much a professional at getting dunked on.

Canada's absolutely filthy roster needed overtime to beat the Czechs today. It would not be a major upset if Team USA beats them ... that's if the Americans can get past Sweden.

Quote from: MuggsyB on February 16, 2026, 07:20:31 AMMaybe it's me, but this seems like a story that tbe media should be covering more?  I just find it odd there seems to be a lot of silence about it.

But enough about the Washington Commanders!

Smell an upset tonight. Would love to see  Shaka drop some napalm bombs on Slick Rick/St. Johns.  Prove that the gap is not widening between MU and St. Johns. Send Slick back to Porcini's.

Quote from: wadesworld on Today at 10:46:59 AMI understand the context.  The poster was pointing to two teams that were heavily built on transfers that played a fun game.  That's cool.  Xavier is absolute trash, and Villanova is a mediocre power conference team.  Personally, I think there are WAY better examples of teams that use transfers to point to as portal success stories.  Same deal with people who obsess with Gard's ability to land guys like Boyd or Tonje.  If Marquette wants to shoot to be Wisconsin, Xavier, or (this year's) Villanova, then I guess I have higher expectations than most.

I am sure everyone here would like to have Nova's mediocre 12-3 and 21-5 record after Marquette's name in the league standings.  I am sure everyone would be praising the success of RGV and that Shaka is a savant in evaluating talent. 

However, I agree the conference is mediocre this season and hope they all can turn things around, but Nova is not mediocre as they are winning the games they should win.

I also agree with you if Marquette wants to compete at the high major D1 level then anything less than having a chance to win a Natty is unacceptable. Otherwise what is the point.

Quote from: WhiteTrash on Today at 10:57:06 AMCan't we give Elon an honorary doctorate to bring him into the MU family?

No thanks.

Quote from: wadesworld on Today at 11:17:07 AMFortunately (or, I guess for last year's purposes), sports aren't played in half seasons.  Marquette has had a higher seed than they had last year 13 times in their history.  Last year was a solid season for MUBB.

Right. They were fairly evaluated over the course of their work over the entirety of the season. But anyone doing the most simple of analysis realizes that the season fell apart after the first of the year. One can both acknowledge that overall the season was good, but it definitely had a very good half and a very "mid" half.
