Gottlieb just said...

[ATWizJr]

on ESPN, that although 75% of the nation was picking MU he was going with the Huskies.  Rationale:  although the PAC 10 stunk all year, that doesn't mean that the teams at the top stunk.  Would WA have gotten in without winning the PAC 10 tourney?

[muarmy81]

That's whats crazy with all these analysts, and unforunately me too, they all get fixated on one performance and forget many of these teams' total body of work.  UW was a team squarely on the bubble 3 days ago and in most circles were on their way to the NIT until they beat a terrible Cal team in the PAC-10 final now all of a sudden they're a "sleeper".  Come on, while I think they're talented I don't think they'll be running to the Sweet 16 anytime soon.  There's a reason they almost didn't get an invite to the dance.

Another one is Cornell.  It was mentioned on ESPN but I forget who said it.  Cornell lost to Penn, the last place team in the Ivy league but because they "almost" beat Kansas everyone thinks they'll steam roll Temple.  I think Temple crushes Cornell but again, who knows.

Why do you guys get so bent out of shape just because an ESPN analyst picks against us?

[MU B2002]

I hope every analyst picks against us.

[ceh]

I'm not a Gottlieb hater in the traditional sense (i.e. he's generally a Marquette hater), it just that everything that he says is mostly complete nonsense.  I think the ESPN guys really get a bad rap for the most part because they are forced to form opinions with very little analsis or time to actually think about anything before they say it.  Stick to the print reporters (e.g. SI, Sporting News, etc.) if you want a more informed opinion.

Also, did Doug inherit Michael Irving's wardrobe when he got fired???

Doug Gottleib had his mother in the "First four out" of his Life Tournament.

That was quality.  LOL.

Outisde Of Ville we have not blown out a team since Dec probably.  We have the height of a High school team and we are only average athleticly.  Every team that is a 13 seed or higher would have a great shot at us if we don't shoot 50% + from 3's and do not have single digits in turnover's.  I think UW has a great shot at beating us.  I off course hope we shoot 50% from 3's and have 5 turnover's but you are not gonig to do that every game.

Reading all of this board today makes me wonder if we should even show up.  How could such a lowly team like the 6th seeded Warriors stand any chance against the mighty, mighty, 11th seeded UW?  I'm sure that it will be a great game (all that we've played have been great games sans G-town), but when did Debbie Downer get the passwords for 90% of the people on this board?

What are you talking about, we just blew Villanova out by 4 points last week?!? 

[redbirdwarrior]

Providence.

Brewtown, you did not mention Doug Gottlieb in your message.  You must go directly to the Superbar.  Did I get that right KipsBayEagle?  Or is it all right to respond to another poster, like I did earlier?

You are absolutely correct.  Mod please move that last post to the superbar.  Doug Gottlieb kicks his dog.

There is no problem with confidence, but cockyness it what many of us are trying to avoid. After reading UW posts they are confident and half of their topics right now are ripping into several posters for apparently posting on this board that they are going to beat us no problem. No single person represents an entire fan base, but generalizations can be made from one individual.

Oh, and Doug Gottlieb has a husky.

[redbirdwarrior]

Actually Gottlieb trained his dog to kick his mother.  That's why she's in the last four out in the life tourney...

Seriously, if Gotlieb said he didn't like the pizza at Angelo's, everybody would be calling for some sort of conspiracy against Marquette

[KipsBayEagle]

The truth of the matter is that this is a game where the two teams matchup almost identically to one another.  This means that any outcome is realistically possible.  Experts are always looking for some kind of upset, and lets be honest with ourselves, from an outsiders perspective this is definitly an attractive game to pick for an upset.  However, those of us that have watched Marquette play the entire year feel great about this game, since for the first time all year we will have a size advantage, something that no one thought was possible.  We will actually have the tallest person on the court, which sounds quite odd.  If we shoot cold, we could lose to anyone, but you have to feel good playing a team that is our size, that, quite frankly, just isn't as good as us.  In 1965, Doug Gottlieb picked Cuba as his upset special over America in the Bay of Pigs Tournament.

Does ANYONE really like the pizza at Angelo's?

Now if he trashed Real Chili on the other hand...

[Hards Alumni]

'salright... though I am sure there are some here who are in love with it.

Ummmm..........defending Doug Gottlieb?  Not cool dude.

[marquette99]

Well, he did beat us in the tourney the 3 amigos freshman year, but has he seen us play since then.

If a dude can't vent about something he hears on the internet on a message board then where can I vent?

Well, yes.  Of course we would.

Angelo's pizza is fantastic.

but I would rather punch myself in the ballbag that share one with Dougie.
