Quote from: Farley36 on Today at 12:52:37 PMThe most successful Marquette coach since Al.  All while Marquette was in the toughest conference they've ever been in.  Shaka wishes he could come close to the success Buzz had here.

Quote from: Hards Alumni on Today at 01:11:52 PMTurds of a feather, plop together, I guess.

You can dislike Buzz (I do) and really like Shaka (again, I do) and still acknowledge that Farley's post is pretty much true. The double-BEast championship was fantastic. But I have to assume that even Shaka has his sights set higher.

Uh... who did they barely squeak by?

Quote from: Shooter McGavin on Today at 04:25:48 PMYep this conversation is over unless a scholarship suddenly opens up due to the transfer of one our players. 

When is a conversation ever over?

Quote from: tower912 on Today at 03:26:23 PMWell, like other things having to do with the portal, 15 scholarships make it a zero sum game. 

Yep this conversation is over unless a scholarship suddenly opens up due to the transfer of one our players.

Incidently, met Coach Pope a few weeks ago.  Nice guy. 

Quote from: tower912 on Today at 02:39:54 PMBYU having their honor code tested.

From ESPN:

While any athlete facing a DUI charge can suffer severe consequences, BYU's honor code could complicate Davis' future at the school. The honor code at BYU, the flagship school of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, states that every student must make "a personal commitment to abstain, both on and off campus, from alcoholic beverages, tobacco, tea, coffee, vaping, and substance abuse." Any student who violates those rules can face penalties "up to and including dismissal from the university or termination of employment," according to the school's honor code.

In a statement, BYU said Friday, "We are aware of the allegations and looking into the situation."

Quote from: MU82 on Today at 03:13:14 PMOk. I didn't see a team going through the motions. I saw a sh!t team win two straight and then hang in there against a far superior team. But perceptions can be different.

That's fair.  And to be honest, I think part of the perception was that a lot of the last 2-3 drives in the 4th felt like "lets just be here and hope Fields does something crazy" but that could also be an absolute function of how bad they are.  Throwing to 2 WRs that have a combined 60 catches over the last 2 seasons and 2 backup TEs.

Poor Breece Hall.  He should be the bell cow on a SB push for the Chiefs and instead he's wasting another year of the fleeting RB prime on one of the worst offenses in the league.

It's only a matter of time before folks start to routinely state that his teams always get better as the season goes along ... only to have someone actually look up the facts to discover that's not really true.

Buzz catching 4.5 against his former school

#Gap

Ya' know, in honor of the return of Buzz, maybe Shaka should try that.
