Well Lazer....

Now that we are in big east I expect our budget to double but most likely triple...

50mil renovation on stadium is being done currently...the Mavericks use our 2010 practice facility...so all we need is the right coach...and some players...but that stems from the coach...

This guy is clearly not an actual SMU fan/alum. He's a Badger fan/MU-hater just messing with people.



Marquette average ACT 25
sat 1160


SMU is 29 and 1290

Well, clearly this proves you're a real SMU fan.

Let me get this straight.  You come on this board, start ragging on Milwaukee, a city that a lot of people here love and would rather live in than Dallas.  (Don't know how Buzz feels about it.)  And then says "money will talk," without having the clue that Marquette has the money to match any offer that SMU makes.  That is an undeniable fact.

If Buzz leaves, it won't be for more money.
To be fair, Texas was bashed a few times before he started ragging on Milwaukee.

Yep, I expect Marquette's to triple as well.

What does he need a CC membership for?  The man is always working.  I doubt he would play 5 times a year.

Oh, and while I do feel bad that some MU fans have ganged up on you and your school, I also find it humorous that you seem to really think Buzz to SMU is a possibility.  While you're at it you should hire Nick Saban too.  He's proven a few times that all it takes is a little extra money to get him to bolt.

Buzz and benford both coming...
Enjoy!  Sounds like things are looking up in whatever the hell town SMU is located in.  Maybe John Wooden will agree to sit on the bench as a "special advisor".

Serious question though... how much money do you think you'll have to throw at Buzz to get him to come?  He's already making $2+ million in a good situation.  How much do you think it will take to get him to come and rebuild SMU from scratch?  $3 million?  more?  I know you think that money's not a problem, just wondering how much money you're talkin'.

SMU17

Supposedly he thinks your new AD is a beat off...and he also wants to move back to texas...

We will prob pay 3 a year and then the nice buyout you guys threw on the deal, which was very well done...

It'll be great to watch your irrelevant basketball program bleed money by paying any coach 3 mil.

His salary is currently not paid by the school, either.  All it took was one phone call as well - but likely the phone call was incoming, not outgoing.   ;)

This is like deja vu reading all the comments from the Texas A&M, Arkansas, and Oklahoma fans last year.

SMU17

Only difference is we have already stated the buyout won't be an issue...where those schools wouldn't pay it...

Except those were legit programs.  SMU is DePaul's new doormat.

No, the only difference is SMU has a dead program and zero credibility compared to those schools. If Buzz left, it would be for a real program. When was the last time a coach left a top-15 job for a sub-200 job? Other than Matt Doherty, who as I recall wasn't given much choice in the matter?

TJ

I honestly hope he's right and SMU starts pouring millions of dollars into basketball and becomes relevant.  It can only help our future RPIs.  But this offseason, Buzz to SMU is laughable.

All those fans were here saying the exact same thing.  The Arkansas fans said Walton money was going to pay for everything.  There was an Oklahoma fan who's parents were big boosters and said the inner-circle of boosters got together to come up with the cash.  A&M fans said their school was huge and the boosters would easily come up with the money.
