Really?  The Superbar?!

As I scroll to the frame immediately above this one, it reads:

"we'd like this board be home to friendly water-cooler type discussions that relate to Marquette, and the Milwaukee area."

As this thread is evolved far beyond any "water-cooler type" discussion, don't you have to move it back to the Al?

[ZiggysFryBoy]

I don't think this thread at anything to do with a water cooler, unless there was a water cooler mixed with several vats of whiskey.

Consigning this thread to the Superbar is the moral equivalent of taking a jet to the Boneyard at Davis-Monthan AFB in Tucson. There is a melancholy in that act which defies description. Somehow, this thread should be returned to its rightful place of honor.

At least anti-terrorism training can still be conducted on said mothballed jet. 

This thread should have been sh!tcanned over N. Korea.

Enough to make an old warthog-driver weep...

The air and space museum in Tucson is pretty sweet.  couple of hogs there on display.

Jason King just reported on ESPN regarding SMU HC search:

"SMU initially went after Marquette's Buzz Williams who was very close to taking the job before backing out at the last second..."

Wow. Perhaps it was much closer and serious than we thought. Incredible.

King is a pretty solid source and that quote is pretty definitive.

1. Well, shoot, I thought all those IWB doubters were righteous.

2. Does this thread have 100 page potential?  Hope against hope.

He changed his mind after LW told him to take it.

So who's been fishing?

[SaintPaulWarrior]

25 days to the opener.

[warthog-driver]

5 days at Gustavus for chinook and halibut in May

[nathanziarek]

Someday I really hope to know what happened here. Was it serious play by Buzz? By MU? Was it as simple as money ... SMU offered, Buzz listened? Was it a pretty standard occurrence blown out of proportion by this board?

Someday.

Listened to Jason King and he was pretty clear, "Buzz all but agreed" to take the SMU job. Not much uncertainty in that.

[Goose]

Not money!

[warthog-driver]

According to King it had nothing to do with money. Buzz liked the challenge of rebuilding SMU. Also mentioned that the SMU job carries a great deal of prestige and social status in Tejas

[Goose]

Plus it is far away from people who do not like him. Would say my stance has changed a tad over the past month and see MU 's side of the situation in different light. That said, I think getting the right guy in a year will be virtually impossible. Very possibly back to the drawing board and a coach making 800k and 2.6million.

Wait till a real school that Buzz likes opens up.  One that does not require a major overhaul.

From what I heard I think Buzz liked the social status attaching to the SMU job. That school carries a lot of weigt in Texas, especially Dallas

[nyg]

SMU will be a doormat in the BE, a doormat for at least 5 years.  Would he have even lasted that long.

Larry Brown bringing in Howard and Rod Strickland (assistant at Kentucky) will maybe help with recruiting, but it will take a long time.
