learn to vary speeds and change timing. He is OFTEN basically out of control and moving too fast to put up a good shot. If he could add some finesse he'd be much more effective.

Very good points by you and TSmith.  I have mentioned the importance of speed control if you are blessed with tier 1 quicks.  As well as using  change of pace and direction. Chase hasn't figured that out at all. 

Quote from: Hards Alumni on January 21, 2026, 03:23:33 PMWhat would you like to do before or after a game at Lambeau that you can't do?  There are bars, breweries, tailgating, live music, a full size football field, food trucks, meet and greets, etc.  And in the winter you've got ice skating and a snow tube hill.  You can go to the atrium and the Packer hall of fame or get a stadium tour in the days before or afterwards.  I just don't know what other amenities could be provided.

Look, the benches at Lambeau suck, but there is a nostalgia hit with them.  They've been there for decades, and are part of the stadium.

I've been to Soldier field twice.  Once for a game, and once for a concert.  It was a mess getting in both times.  At least the concert was awesome (Stones).

It sounds to me like you just enjoy watching games at home.  Nothing wrong with that.

That's literally the point.  My original post was about seeing games at large stadiums and the viewing environment not being great and watching on TV (not necessarily at home) was a far better experience.  And that is not being a homebody...as I mentioned I'd prefer watching it at a bar, restaurant, friends house, etc...

You responded that I needed to see a game in GB as if I didn't like watching games in person cause I hadn't been to Lambeau or something.  And then expanded into the "experience" around the stadium.  Which has nothing to do with the game viewing inside Lambeau being no different than countless other stadiums.

Honestly, I have no real interest in making a pilgrimage there but the one that could be a true difference is AT&T stadium cause of the huge jumbotron making up for lack of nuanced viewing.

Jae at least has an argument to be on the team. Jimmy Mac seems like they just wanted to select the best/most renown player from the 90s.

Love Dom but seriously?

Markus & Kolek both have arguments to be on the team whether or not starting 5 is probably a no.

Dom wasn't even the best of the 3 amigos

I'd be okay with that.

We just better not ever hear "Go Cubs" from his infallible mouth.

Quote from: wadesworld on January 21, 2026, 12:04:36 PMSo if Kolek, Lewis, Ellenson, and OMax are in the G League come mid March and Marquette brings them in for the Big East Tournament, what seed does the NCAA Tournament give a 13-22 Marquette team that now has a lineup of Kolek, Chase, Omax, Lewis, and Ellenson with Nigel James, Ben Gold, Royce Parham, and Adrian Stevens off the bench?

Could be a 16 seed and still dominate. Would be nuts.

Quote from: #UnleashJosh on January 21, 2026, 04:22:53 PMJae and Jimmy being off is ridiculous.

Someone's going to come in and say Howard though.

Jimmy doesn't belong. People vastly overrate him in the lores of MUBB

I didn't mean to disparage Lambeau, and I think most or all hardcore NFL fans would rightly choose a day at Lambeau over Soldier Field.

I was only pointing out that once you're in your seat and watching the game, Soldier Field is hard to beat. It's better than any college stadium I've been to and better than Denver, Dallas or SoFi.

I guarantee the Bears will screw that up with the new stadium. 

I think one of the interesting things about George Thompson, Butch Lee and Jerome Whitehead is that all 3 entered college at 17 years old. 

George Thompson didn't turn 18 years old until November 29th of his freshman year at Marquette.  Butch Lee was still 2 days away from his 18th birthday when he played against St. John's (MN) as a 17 year old on December 3, 1974.  Whitehead turned 18 on September 30 of his freshman year at Riverside (CA) Community College.  3 of McGuire's most physical players finished their college careers as 21 year olds.

Jae and Jimmy being off is ridiculous.
