Quote from: Pakuni on Today at 10:13:27 AMYes, exactly.
I accept that there will be down seasons in which the team doesn't meet expectations. And if that's infrequent, it shouldn't put a coach whose been mostly successful on the hot seat. But if you're stacking those seasons, or it becomes a regular occurrence, then it's time to make a change.

I think I'm understanding your perspective of expectations. I do think the reason someone like me or DJOver might never align is because the timeframe. I think you're saying MU each season should expect to be in the tournament, it's a shorter immediate timeframe and I agree. However what DJOver is saying that aft about a decade we should expect to be in the tournament 80% of the time. Which is a much larger view of the program trend. Think of it as investing in a stock and expecting linear growth each day vs expecting growth over a 5 year period.

FIFY

And you complain a LOT!

Quote from: Galway Eagle on Today at 10:19:14 AMOh? Please enlighten me.

Oh, you didn't know?  If you CALL yourself a warrior, you're instantly feared as a program, and your team is better.

This is known.

DOGE actually cost American taxpayers money.

Quote from: GoldenEagles03 on Today at 10:05:56 AMWhich begs the question...

If Marquette misses the NCAA Tournament next year but Shaka gets the mascot changed back to the Warriors, is that enough to allow him back for another go around?

That is not the question and you know it. The question is are we going to spend the resources many here say we have to acquire the best talent to compete for a national title or not. If not, what is the point? I am not saying we have to win, but  that we can win should be the expectation. That is also a question for the Big East as well or does the league just become another mid major conference.

Yeah, but at least Capt. Bone Spur his increased his personal wealth by billions of dollars in the last year alone, so there.

Y'all are just jealous that you can't grift like he does. Hell, he even wore official merch during the solemn dignified transfer ceremony. Wonder how many butt-ugly baseball caps he sold off of that grift.

You can do way worse than Fanta.  Brando is the worst.  Each time he announces, it sounds like his first time seeing a basketball game.

Oh? Please enlighten me.

Quote from: Hards Alumni on Today at 10:11:58 AMNot what I said at all.  Bringing up Al in today's game is like reminiscing about driving your model T.  All of that stuff is irrelevant to modern college basketball.

I graduated only one year later than Scoop's official whiner and thoroughly enjoyed the Al Era. Now I enjoy the memories. As you have said, it is irrelevant to modern college basketball. 

Watch this amazing point between Djokovic and Draper at Indian Wells ...
