Stone Cold--I think we have another car dealer that actually picked Buzz,

You just asked who our car dealers were, now you know who the car dealer is......goose I've noticed you type a lot without actually saying anything novel. Please cease with that.

Stone Cold---If you do not know who the car dealer is you obviously are not too close to the situation. We have a major donor/supporter that is laegest car dealer in WI. My point was simple, if OK car dealers would not support OU basketball why do we think WI care dealers will support MU ball. Our car dealer picked Buzz.

From Sports by Brooks Twitter:

"@SPORTSbyBROOKS: Marquette is prepared to offer Buzz Williams 10-year deal to stay."

Also says that "Buyout is 7 figures but not as high as reported. Not even close."

Wow, he seems quite confident about the buyout info. Someone somewhere is being fed faulty info.

First yes I know about Berghardt, he wasn't interviewing Buzz just prior to the hiring like Strong. Strong makes the program go.

Stone Cold--I did not know the sporting goods store was big backer. Thanks for the info. You must be right on Strong making the first interview and call on Buzz.

Dick Strong is our car dealer

Loyola (IL) plays in the Gentile Center, named after Joe Gentile, the car dealer in Barrington IL.

And for that, I say THANK YOU for all you have done for the program and please help us keep Buzz!!!!

Well... we got to this point without mentioning Dick Strong... I suppose that has to be some sort of a record.

Do you mean Bergstrom?

Goose · « **Reply #63 on:** March 25, 2011, 11:27:08 AM »

Litehouse---Bergstrom carries a much bigger stick than some realize. I am hoping he likes Buzz as much today as he did three years ago. He is great part of the program and hopes it continues.

The OU board is all up in a bunch that we are not taking some sort of percentage when saying the buy out number.

Rosiak's article where he interviewed Cottingham seems to be pretty trustworthy. It would be hard to believe that he did not ask Cottingham about that number before publishing it.

And as he said, referring to the other writers...They have a job; so do I. Who covers MU/Buzz? Hmm...

I also saw a poster say that there were "Fire Buzz" signs at the BC this year...I didn't make every home game but I have to think I would have heard about that.

One thing is for sure, there is a ton of crap getting thrown around.

Bergstrom is the car dealer that provided the Humvess. Strong is retired after being chased out of the investment business.

Yeah. I wasn't being literal when I said Dick Strong was our car dealer. I meant he's our main backer who's put a ton of $$$ into the program.

If you read this board it surprise you.

Buzz has a choice between a very small group of irrational fans wanting him gone or an AD who fires his coach after a few years which includes recruiting Blake Griffin who might be their best NBA player when its said and done, the Elite 8, and pretty good recruiting in general.

And I want him to stay at an irrational salary if necessary.

Read it a lot, and I never saw any posts on Fire Buzz signs...

Besides, those calling for his head after a loss probably don't have the stones to carry that into a game since it is so much easier to remain anonymous on here and spew the vitriol than sit next to season ticket holders and put your face out there.
