Ah, I stand corrected. So that is probably the closest version of going from MU to SMU.

Seems like it. How do DePaul and SMU compare basketball-wise. I assume DePaul has a much better history there.

DePaul's basketball program is still head and shoulders above SMU's

I'm laughing my ass off too.  He's trolling so damn hard, and some of the Scoopers are lapping that sh*t up.

Obvious troll is obvious.
It's like a trainwreck.  I want to look away but I keep coming back to see gullible MU fans falling for it.

That is why SMU spent millions to build a practice facilty that is top notch, will spend $50m to udpate our great arena, and will spend to get a good coach.  Investing for the future is how things change.

I think I am the last registered user to get on this clusterf**k of a thread.

The real question is not how to DePaul and SMU compare.  The real question is how do Clemson and Marquette compare?  Leaving Clemson is not the same thing as leaving Marquette.  It doesn't really matter what the destination is.

I was talking to someone in the know, and have faith that this is 100% true, take it FWIW.

Bill Gates is relinquishing all his equity in Microsoft and going to work at the Radio Shack in 'Tosa. This is 100% confirmed, terms already agreed upon (15 minute smoke break every hour, hour lunch, 10% off employee discount). Radio Shack spent hundreds to upgrade the place (new carpet, touchtone telephone), it's really top notch and looking forward to competing with Best Buy starting in 2013. Expect a presser late this afternoon. Bedford will be joining him as asst mgr.

Wait!  This is about Buzz Williams leaving to coach at SMU?

I thought it was about SMU18 getting a buzz.

I'm not disagreeing with that, but the comment was made in repsonse to Purnell leaving Clemson for DePaul.  And when you are selling a coach on what the future may hold, I think it's a testament to where your program stands.  Much like Nebraska.

Magic Jack.  It was the dealbreaker.

Sources told me.  I'm not telling my sources though.

No I know. Just wasn't sure if I'm missing something in the 60s or 50s since SMU athletics has been completely irrelevant for the last 25 years.

Also, congrats on getting in on the clusterf***.

That's wonderful for your program.  I truly hope it works out well.

Man o man,  I go away for a beautiful weekend and I come back to find this naked china man of a thread leaping at me.



Buzz leaving for SMU would be a kidney punch.

Try to find about 12 am last night.  Some weird stuff goes down.

Blackhat

If Buzz were to go to SMU i'd work hard on disbanding the BE and getting away from these clusterf.ck small football schools.  Break the basketball only schools to our own league.

Smu18

Yeah thats a great idea...you lose ND if you do that and then you lose $$$

thebigjake

We can probably shut the thread down now guys. This one is over.

Buzz isn't leaving.  I don't know if there will be any formal announcement or anything, but maybe it will be in the form of Seth Greenburg or Tony Benford named SMU coach.

Time to relax. If you insiders want to check sources again go ahead, but I'm pretty sure this one is done.

I don't know any specifics, or what really caused all this. I just know what I heard.

Anyone poster not part of this thread should have their handle highlighted in red (scarlet letter) to signify that they are bad bad people.





Man, has it been quite enjoyable to watch this absolute f***ing DERP tsunami... this s*** has it all, half-assed trolling, bed wetting fear/paranoia, anonymous/ignorant/made up sources/alumnus, hell, even a few random speculations about Chicos being Hoopaloop, rendering of garments, posters rallying for a torch wielding mob for administration people,  etc.  

KEEP IT GOING GUYS!  YOU'RE DOING GREAT!

There have been a few islands of logical thought in here, but it hasn't been easy to find them.  

FYI, average length of a chapter in my thesis dissertation = 37 pages.  This thread is up to 35 pages.  HOLY. LIVING. F***.  

Warrior_2002

All of this is going to be over Tony Benford in the end. Watch.

That's good enough for me.  If thebigjake says it you know it's true.  SMU18 is going to be pissed at thebigjake for intervening and turning this deal south.

Might as well close down the scoop as well and just give thebigjake his own forum to relay knowledge to the masses.
