Username

[APieperFan3]

I'm not trying to play "taddle tail" (sp?) here, but is there any way the moderators can "approve" a username?

Names like "nomorebuycks" have ZERO place at a MU message board - a place where we talk about, and SUPPORT Marquette basketball.

It has been said time and time again that people need to think about what they post b/c players, recruits etc most likely view these pages...and I personally think that usernames like that bring NOTHING to the table - however, neither do his/her posts.

Classless username from a classless poster.

I'm offended that you are a fan of Anthony Pieper.  Good God.

j/k  +1 to your post

Intended to be Negative and Disruptive. No place for such as this here.
I often wonder how any of us would react if our work was scrutinised to this degree and held up for all to criticize. These are young men trying to do their best

[TallTitan34]

Agreed.

I agree, but have to ask...  Where does it stop?  Do the mods then review every post before it is made to ensure negative and disruptive messages are stopped?  Unfortunately with diehard fans there will always be comments that are brutally honest and extreme.

There are always going to be negative posts and always going to be posters who don't like specific players. However, I personally think it crosses the line to have a username that singles out and insults one specific player/kid. Others may disagree.

I can think of one poster in particular to bash Mo and Cubi every chance he got. He finally came around.  Maybe nmb will do the same.

The best analogy I've heard is that MUScoop is like a bar.  Conversations/threads are treated like they would be in a bar.

@ssholes get bounced.  If you want to expedite someone getting bounced, use the "Report to Moderator" button.  Sometimes the bartender is too busy with their own deal to worry about what some jerk in the corner is saying.

Also, I don't like Buycks' game at all and wish his minutes would get reduced.

If it's censorship you seek, register on the other board. Chances are your heine gets tossed quicker than you can say "Crean sucks sewer water."

So, I'm to assume that your username is being complimentary of Scott Merritt's Mustache, and not mocking it???

It's no Q-Stache, but it's still a good stache.

It's a GREAT stache! A Championship winning stache!

JBL FINALS: TOCHIGI DETHRONE AISIN - Apr 12, 2010

It has been three years in the making.
Actually, It only took three years.
The goal was to win a championship in five years but The Link Tochigi Brex found a way to 'breakthrough' like its slogan suggest and win its first-ever JBL title.
In what would be considered shocking, the Brex beat the Aisin Seahorses tonight in the third game of the finals to complete its sweep with a 71-63 victory at Tokyo's Yoyogi National Gymnasium.
In a game that was close throughout, the Seahorses showed their pride to try and stave off the challengers. The Seahorses went to their strength as they attacked inside to establish themselves early in the game.
Tochigi's imports struggled and so did the team as they allowed Aisin to score off turnovers in the first quarter. As a result, the Seahorses took a 20-10 lead.
In the second quarter, Tochigi starts to gain moment as its zone defense begin to function. Tochigi forces turnovers and lock down the interior to limit Aisin's scoring. A byproduct was limiting regular season MVP Kosuke Takeuchi to 9 points on only 7 shots. The Brex also got big contributions from its bench as SG Ken Takeda (11 points) connected on big mid range shots to close the half.
In the second half, Tochigi turns its defense up to bring the game to a stand still. Ace guard Takuya Kawamura (27 points), center Scott Merritt and Takeda connect on their shots to cut Aisin's lead down to one point to enter halftime.
In the final quarter, Aisin G Shinsuke Kashiwagi steps up to make big threes and Aisin creates a 5 point cushion. However, like it has throughout the series, rallied to bring the game to within 3 points. Kawamura then takes over again like he has done all season to hit a crucial three pointer with six seconds remaining to knot the game at a tie. The game goes into overtime.

In overtime, Tochigi gained an advantage early with Kawamura's fourth three of the game. The Brex gained a 8 point lead and did not relinquish it ntil the final buzzer. As the buzzer sounded, the players cheered and showed their jubilance in landing their first title. And former NBA guard Yuta Tabuse was awarded the Finals MVP.
The game was an example of how a team can win based on sheer desire. For Aisin, it must have been a frustrating experience as they were turnover prone throughout the series.
Aisin turned the over a total of 27 times, and they also had 20 in game 2. The Seahorses are now left with reassessing its situation and assets as they work to regain their throne. However, Head Coach Kimikazu Suzuki is optimistic in regaining its seat at the throne.
'By finding a team that can beat Aisin, we have found a new challenge in fighting for a title again. I believe this is going to help in improving basketball in Japan. We are very disappointed with the results, but I think it was a great experience for us' said, Suzuki.
The crowning of Tochigi brings in a new era for the JBL in which an all-professional team that is loaded with youth is now the champion.
The odds were against the Brex, but they found a way to break through to its first and perhaps many more titles for the time to come...

Merritt made the All-Imports Team (only one, no second team) and All -League Honorable Mention.

Actually, I knew Scott a little bit because I had a class with him. I tried to grow a mustache to rival his...it didn't go well, but he got a good laugh out of it.
