Difficult to believe Marquette is 1 of 2 teams in the NET Top 236 without a road or neutral win. But let's get those shakes and Beat the Pirates.

This isn't about cheating. It's about a handful of writers who are salty that Belichick was mean to them.

I didn't opine on right/wrong. Just gave the reason why.

Tie between Nigel and Royce but I will go with Royce

Was going to add this earlier lol

Agree it was a very fun night. Trying to be positive Marquette Basketball has had DOUBLE DIGIT WINS in EVERY SEASON SINCE 64-65 for over 60 Years and this Marquette team probably will too. But to stay positive aim for the post season NIT or Crown this year.

Reports are that Bill Polian - not a writer - was the one leading the effort to make Belichick wait a year. Polian has denied it ... but he then claimed that he couldn't remember whether or not he voted for Belichick.

So the writers just fell in line with Polian? That makes it justifiable.

Anyhow, going down the list, I count seven that aren't either current writers or got their starts as writers. So, yeah, it's about salty writers. But if it matters, we can just say salty media members.

Not Willard's favorite
