Quote from: CountryRoads on February 09, 2026, 12:09:25 PMShould be hard to turn down the Players Era if invited. The coverage dominated feast week and would be great exposure for our team. Main downside there is the non-con home slate would be brutal as a result. Imagine they'd probably add at least 2 more buy games (7 total) to buffer for the tough schedule in Vegas.

Hoping this season didn't do much damage for home and home deals in the near future. At the time of the game, we were a Q4 opponent for Purdue. That's simply not fair to them or what they signed up for.

Hey, with any luck we could be a Q2 win by the end of the season!  A guy can dream, right??


And actually, I used to be so annoyed at how often we played Purdue in the last decade... now I'm coming to enjoy the budding friendly rivalry.  Kinda hope it continues, even if not every year.

I like the Supersonics chances of returning.

Starting to think we see these things from completely different perspectives.  Ah, well.

Starting to think you don't know what fan police means.
Maybe this will help.

You suggested that what fans say here might "drive away" high-potential players we want to stay, and specifically cited Nigel as an example.
I agree that players should stay away from social media, both the criticism and (as Saban would say) the rat poison. But fans shouldn't avoid legitimate criticism of players or the program out of fear that feelings might get hurt.

Also, if you think Marquette fans are unusually or uniquely toxic, troll-ish a--holes, you should spend time on some other team's message boards. We're kittens compared to many.

Let's just put it this way... in sports, some fanbases think it's ok to boo their team and players, others do not.  For example, Packers fans vs Eagles fans.  Both have high standards for outcomes, but how those fan bases support their teams are vastly different.  Maybe there's no right or wrong in that... but I know what my preference is.

This is very true. I will not even try to prove it since the evidence is there in spades for anyone to see.

If any recruit finds the MU fan boards tough, they could never make it at a blue blood, or any top 40 program. You know who as nice fan boards; DePaul. When you suck the passionate, team supporting and ticket buying fans out of the equation, you get very nice people who give a ribbon to players who just play.

Quote from: 1SE on February 09, 2026, 10:26:54 AMSample size way too small, but Josh's rebounding numbers are ELITE. that's why it would be great to see how they hold up in some extended run - certainly the rest of game isn't any WORSE than Caedins - why he doesn't get all those minutes I can't understand...

Fair.  If Josh could maintain his OR%, DR%, and BLK% over a larger sample size, and improve to shooting 65% at the rim, he could be a good role player.
