Opinion: Someone at fault for not knowing potential weather conditions
      


Written by: Mark Strotman
            


The right call was made Friday night in Charleston. But it shouldn’t had to have been made in the first place. The Marquette-Ohio State contest was supposed to begin at 7 p.m. local time, and up until a few seconds … Continue reading →

You are being generous not playing the blame game. I am not as generous. It was absolutely pathetic to not have a backup plan.

Did last year MSU and UNC had a gym underneath in case of bad weather?

Ironically, no heads will roll over this debacle.   But seriously Buzz, some self awareness please.  I appeaciate you getting on all fours to help the cause, but all that wiping was useless.  Could someone just say "ummm don't bother?".   MU is now associated with another embarrassment and everyone got some good footage of Buzz looking ridiculous.  

Now who in hell can I point a finger at?  It's not like it was a storm which couldn't be helped.  Condensation is no surprise, just math.  

I'm sick just thinking about it.

Seriously, I thought Buzz looked awesome and was a role model for the players and kids out there.  He makes millions each year, but he is not above getting his hands and knees dirty.  Meanwhile Matta and crew just sat there an watched and looked like a bunch of elitist jerks.

Last year they planned on this, but had difficulties getting it all together so they scrapped it and hoped for the best.  This year they were suppose to play at a local gym if the weather didn't cooperate.  I don't know what went wrong to block that from happening.

All for it if it wasn't such a futile exercise.  It was like Buzz fell victim to a "shoelaces untied" joke.   He meant well.  But just not his finest moment.    Matt's was smart to distance himself ... I'd have abandoned ship right away.  Avoid the PR disaster.

Did you notice Buzz' floor wipin' technique? Clearly he had previously perfected the motion. Thought it was spontaneous and awesome.

That was an alternative with rain in the forecast, but it was too late to move game to The Citadel.

That's a silly sentiment. How does not helping avoid a PR disaster?  Just because Buzz didn't personally wipe down the floor enough to play the game doesn't mean it was all for naught.

It showed Buzzs genuine enthusiasm for the event.  How is he supposed to know it was a futile exercise?  WTF is your problem?

An essential trait of being a good leader is serving alongside those you lead...that was my impression of what Buzz was doing. Good for him for not being too big to get out there and help the cause, even if it was futile. By no means was it an embarrassment or ridiculous. I find it hard to believe anyone could construe it that way.

Totally agree!  I could see those who work hard and those who feel the made it. I couldn't be more proud of Buzz and MU

MU looked liked they would do anything to play this game.

Jesus, stop huffing the paint fumes.  OR, alternatively, KEEP BREATHING DEEPLY.  Good god, what a pointless, STUPID post.

Is this Buzz Mr. F'n Myagi we are talking about?  A lesson for wiping the floor?  Leaders are smart enough to know you don't piss in the wind, or in this case, use towels alone to fight condensation.  Credit to Buzz for at least getting someone who knew something ("smarter than you or I" to the court reporter) to relay the "needs to be 3 degrees cooler" note.   Otherwise he'd probably still be there.  Waiting for the harbor to evaporate. 

\gas huffing
\fracking

You tools.  I bet this gets you in a real uproar doesn't it.  Waaaaaahhhhh.

Really, you're STILL TALKING?!

Why don't you sit this one out for a while, "MUScoop equivalent of Brick Tamland."

OR, keep going.  Look forward to your next DUMBER, MORE IRRELEVANT post.

Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
