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.

WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN???

Trend is gonna be Benford's assistant down at SMU!

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 then pay to get KState and graduate with a 4-year degree. No help from the family, JUCO was what got my father a degree.

The problem with JUCOs is that the opponents criticize them because they're closet racists.

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

Touche.

As for BigDaddy's post, not that I am calling him a liar, but just because it is what we all want to hear does not mean it is necessarily what is happening.  Patience, patience, patience.

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?


I don't think that anyone changed their standards.  I'd have to think they all came to the table and actually talked about what they are.  I don't  think that anyone of them would say they don't want to have student-athletes to perform well in school and on the court.  Like an annual performance review - are you performing up to standards, what can be improved on, stuff like that.

Based on Bigdaddy's post, I have to say that I hope all of this is about nothing and that all of the freaking out about Buzz talking to SMU was because he was Tony B's reference and they wanted to follow up on him.

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..


No sarcasm.... I would love for Tony Benford to get that job.  His relationships are long and deep in that area.  He would be a perfect fit for that job n deserves the opportunity.  I think he would instantly elevate that program.

so what is the issue then?

Nobody was bashing JUCOs, the theory was brought up in regards to what the evil empire of the BOT, LW, and Father P could possibly be doing to make Buzz leave (not allow Buzz to recruit JUCOs because of stupid media perception). I don't think there are any JUCO haters left around these parts.

Tell me how this corresponds with IWBs tweets?  Everyone knows that IWB is close to Buzz.  IWB is saying that Buzz has decisions to make?  If it isn't about this, what is it about?  Where to go for dinner tonight???

Ok, I'm going to nap for an hour, when I come back, I expect to see conformation that Buzz is staying. I don't think that's a lot to ask given everything else in this thread is it??  :P

So, if we are to believe that SMU is interested in both Benford and Buzz, I wonder how rare that is. I cannot, for one, remember a single time where both a head coach and an assistant were tabbed as targets for the same job.

Anybody recall another instance?

Actually BigDaddy has the most credibility on this entire board in my book.  Every other post he has made has been dead on 100% accurate and has acknowledged werking for the program.  Myself and other had suggested to him that it is good for no one especially himself if he wants to continue in the business to post on here.  He will get found out and fired.

What if he posts as SMU21?  He can pretend to be a troll, but we'll know *wink*wink*

SMU did not ask MU for permission to talk to Buzz as a reference for Tony B. That's not logical.

What's IWB's twitter name?

Iwb was one of Creans bitches... Close to Buzz ?  I havent seen it IWB is self serving and a non MU grad.   No trust there for me .... His tweet only further convinced me of that.

Based on the posting activity in the past 3 hours, we should hit 100 pages right around 9:00 tonight.

Nah...once everyone goes home from work, posting will slow considerably.
