[swoopem]

My buddy just sent this to me. I haven't read it yet, but figured I'd share it with my Scoop brethren

#2 Hurts!  At least for some of us the age crack hurts.
#5 Author clearly doesn't read Scoop or does and is calling people out
#9 The looks on Juan and Luke's faces say it all
#1 Keep the faith!

Thanks for passing along but he clearly missed a few, I'll attribute that to age:

#11 - You have an irrationally high level fascination/concern over what is said about Marquette on UW boards even though you logically know they are the 10% extremists of the fan base.
#12 - You have one player that is your lightning rod for all ills of the program.
#13 - You often confuse opinions with facts and when you don't you casually forget that anyone can come up with a stat (or sample of stats) to support virtually any position.

Agree.  Love Marquette basketball.  I hate to lose but love watching this team play.  We play hard and are entertaining.  Look out next year!  Coach, load the deck.

Regarding the following:

2) Your one comeback when your friends comment on this year's team is that Marquette won the National Championship back in 1977! Never mind that it happened years before you were born!

Not only was I born, but I was there.  With season tickets.  In the student section. 

Amazing as a national title is.  1977 was extra special given the hand wringing by many convinced that we were out of the hunt for making the NCAA.

Same here (except not in the student section; my dad was an alum/season ticket holder). 

Part of me (mostly my back) wishes that it happened years before I was born, but since it didn't, I'm glad I had the opportunity to be there.

How much karma did we use up in the Davidson game?
