I'd still like to keep Clark. There's something there. I think he's two years away, but no harm in keeping him as a 3rd center and letting him develop. They just need to upgrade the spots in front of him.

14 pressures allowed by Will Campbell tonight. Most allowed by any player this season.

Campbell declined to talk to the media postgame.

Quote from: Vander Blue Man Group on February 08, 2026, 08:27:09 PMIt seems very likely Marquette will have 2 open spots at minimum this offseason.

If Shaka brings in 2 quality starters (a center and a scoring wing or combo guard), I doubt his seat gets warm next season.

He can still make a modified version of RGV work going forward (same model Izzo and Painter use).

That is a tournament team assuming we keep the freshman and sophomores.  No doubt in my mind.  Depth will come from the freshmen and the RS freshmen.  If they happen to get a third transfer all the better. But two is all that is truly needed.  They will be top 3 in the Big East next year with your scenario.

Minessale and Janowski both played well again  this weekend. Janowski's Sister committed to the in state school to the west of us for next year which gives the in state school to the west of us an advantage but Marquette is in the picture yet. Hear Minessale continues to love Marquette and if offers are close will pick Marquette.

Quote from: Vander Blue Man Group on February 08, 2026, 10:14:24 PMBench of Owens, Phillips, Sheek, and Egbuonu. Completely fair to say it's totally unproven.  Also completely fair to say that group has a lot of potential.

There are a few other potentially helpful pieces in Walker, Mitilic and Clark.

Most stocks of blue chip companies don't do that, certainly nowhere near to the degree of volatility of Bitcoin.

I've done ok for my family by researching fair values and buying/selling blue-chip, stocks accordingly. Not perfect. I've made mistakes like every investor has. But I've done A-OK without doing much guessing or hoping for luck.

Again, I have no idea whether $25K, $50K, $75K or $100K is fair for Bitcoin. I admire those who have found ways to make money on it, seriously.

Quote from: MU82 on February 08, 2026, 04:12:23 PMTeach me. How do I know whether or not it is a good time to buy Bitcoin right now?

Same way with stocks, you get lucky. 

Explain to me why stocks jump 15% one day and drop 20% the next when nothing had fundamentally changed.  You can't.  And if you could you'd be the richest man in the world.

Bitcoin isn't a stock.  You don't seem to want to understand.  I am not in the business of teaching you something you should just google on your own.

Quote from: MU82 on February 08, 2026, 10:06:10 PMI rather enjoyed the game.

I thought Witherspoon was MVP, as it would have been far more fitting if a member of the NFL's best defense had won the award, but I do get the choice of Walker.

Darnold wasn't "good," but he certainly wasn't bad. He passed for 200+ yards and played almost exactly the way his coaches wanted him to. He also had 5 TDs and 0 turnovers in three postseason games as his team outscored its opponents 101-46.

Sometimes diminutive people get the last laugh.  Walker is 5'7.   But I agree with you that several defensive players probably deserved the award.  It also was egregious that not a single defensive player was interviewed during the trophy presentation.

Quote from: panda on February 08, 2026, 08:41:11 PMHard to define expectations without knowing who the transfers are, but regardless — I don't think a bench which would exist if we only have 2 open spots next year is anywhere remotely close to helping 5 competent players make the tournament.

Bench of Owens, Phillips, Sheek, and Egbuonu. Completely fair to say it's totally unproven.  Also completely fair to say that group has a lot of potential.
