I am going to write this one email and that is it.

1) Buzz is not leaving for SMU or any other school.
2) Buzz wants Tony B to get the job at SMU.
3) Fr. P and Larry Williams know what Buzz means to MU and support him.
4) Fr. P, LW, BOT and Buzz all agree on the standards that are expected from all MU athletes. Buzz's standards are not any different than they have been.
5) Knock of the JUCO bashing it is sickening...fostering a false negative preception of these players is plain wrong.  Yeah Buzz has been told don't ever recruit another JFB or Jae Crowder..those type of kids don't belong at MU....   That makes alot of sense.

My recommendation..everyone log off for a week..



Hmmmmmmmm.

This post seems to contain entirely too much level-headed rationality in it for this thread.

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

It's also from the dude with great information about DG earlier this year.

I believe in the Daddy.

Ha! Exactly. One person throws out some baseless idea. Two pages later it becomes "fact." That fact is then dissected over the next few pages.

Until a new baseless idea is proposed and the circle of wasted time and energy continues.

I sincerely hope that when the appeal goes out next year for fundraising for Al's Run that there is a FRACTION of the same time and energy as a response.

I had to step away from my computer for a few hours and 15 pages were added.

What did I miss?

Just taking a mid day break and popping in on the board.

Looks like nothing is new.  Correct?

Except that we now know that Skat's name is really Sally.

The JUCO bashing makes total sense. What program wants or needs student-athletes like Jimmy Butler or Jae Crowder?

Who wants to play for a school that has a motto to 'Pony up!'  Sounds like what an old man says to a little kid at the circus.

I think I said that in speculation about 15 pages ago, pretty sure I was clear I was speculating what could be going on for the sake of keeping the thread alive.

However, you are very definitive in your answer... care to elaborate what some of the stipulations are?



There aren't any.  Cottingham was more hands off....Williams is more hands on and the leadership likes that.  

The only thing that concerns me about BigDaddy's post is IWB is still saying this afternoon that Buzz hasn't made a final decision.  And I can tell you the players do not know for sure if he is staying for going.

Thank you Big Daddy.  This is the best news and the best post I've read in more than two days.  You were right about DG and I'm going with you being right here too.  Doesn't mean I'll be able to avoid this train wreck of a thread though.....

Sorry guys, but couldn't log on for awhile.  Noticed like 25 pages since 9:00am and wondered if someone could give a brief, brief summary of what is up since then.  

Only thing I noticed in a blink was like a 6M salary offer and the return of Big Daddy.

4) Fr. P, LW, BOT and Buzz all agree on the standards that are expected from all MU athletes. Buzz's standards are not any different than they have been.

Well, not to burst anyone's bubble, but if Buzz didn't change his standards, does that mean Fr. P, LW, BOT did? Why all the super secret sources saying Buzz had to decide what he was going to do?

All of the schools say that to their season ticket holders...

Guys,

A friend of mine (BIG donor), just spotted  "Trend" Blackledge walking around Grand Ave Mall with a Cowboy hat on.

Reminder, this guy is a BIG donor.

Who the hell was bashing JUCOs? What is this 1250 WSSP and Wisky simpletons who can't understand the important role junior college play in athletics?

That honestly pisses me off, my dad went to JUCO on a basketball scholarship. He had work and save up all two years just so he could pay to get to KState and graduate with a 4-year degree. No help from the family, JUCO was what got my father a degree.
