The Wojo issue was tough because you could watch and see the process was never going to be enough to get us to consistently good/great. But the actual, on-paper results weren't THAT bad. 2015 was a free year. 2016 we won 20 games. 2017 was better than 2016. 2018 slight step back, but then a huge bump in 2019 and a tournament caliber team in 2020.

He was JUST good enough to not get fired. And then he had a year under .500 and he was gone immediately.

Which again, shows that Shaka should not survive another year of this. He's earned a leash. But not one long enough to withstand two years of under .500 basketball

1. A gamble
2. Can't shoot free throws
3. Selfish

Interesting economy and market analysis

1. Michael Jordan clone
2. Shaq clone
3. LBJ with his unused NCAA eligibility.

That will do.

Quote from: JWags85 on Today at 04:07:27 PMOh I was making no commentary on politics.  Rather it was depressing that many people took time out of their Sunday nights to tune into such a weak lineup of artists, even for fans of country music.

One of my good friends is a huge country fan, still attends multiple country concerts/festivals a year, and actually saw Lee Brice multiple times when he was an objective very popular and successful artist in the early/mid 2010s.  He said "I'm sure Lee Brice had name recognition but I wonder what State Fair performance he had to miss out on to be there on Sunday"

Got it.

I didn't even know who was the performer. Could have been Taylor Swift for all I knew, but It sounds like they couldn't even land REO Speedwagon.

Since it's still winter, very likely a casino performance instead of a state fair.

Quote from: #UnleashJosh on Today at 03:58:44 PMA coach with 20 losses two seasons in a row should be fired.

What's strange, is all the guys you mentioned were big into NOT firing wojo for waaaaay to long.

When would you have fired him? At best you could make the argument that he could have been fired a season earlier, but Marquette was going to make the tournament that season had COVID not been a thing.

But they weren't going to fire him coming off a tournament birth, nor after the NIT run in 2017-18.

Quote from: WhiteTrash on Today at 12:28:36 PMNothing to get depressed about. This is a country of 350M people. It would be depressing if we all were in some lock step agreement about everything. The beauty of a free republic is different ideas.

Best for all of us to move on from the sideshow and forget it happened, which I guaranty 99% of Americans will do.

Quote from: Elonsmusk on February 10, 2026, 10:26:37 PM100% agree.  Yet we have dense Scoopers like Pakuni, Sultan, Brewcity, Onepost, who think Shaka should be fired if he has another bad season next year.

A coach with 20 losses two seasons in a row should be fired.
