Forgot to say congrats to TallTitan.  I have a long way to go.
Rice Krispie treats are my specialty, and I made a kick-ass kolacky.

Meant to say make a kick-ass kolacky.
Will stop in Racine for some Kringles.
Still catching up.

Upon further review, 3 of those posts didn't count (for various) reasons.  You are going to have to un-retire and try to help your team win 3rd place in the division

DAMN!  It happened Rob!  3 posts went away in the thread and I am now reply 997!

My whole reputation is down the drain!

Virginia Tech's Seth Greenberg says he has no interest in opening at smu. "I am putting all of my focus into building our program

When is Buzz going to make a similar statement so that we can all get some rest tonight?

If Dane Cook comes to your house in a Racing Sausage Suit, your life might be headed in the wrong direction!

Buzz does not do that.  He does not respond to rumors and gossip.  Never has and never will.

Now I'm scared.

[GGGG]

2002---I'll give you this. BUZZ IS NOT GOING TO SMU OR ANYWHERE ELSE!!!!! Bank it!!!!

Good.  They are working on mending the relationship.  That is what smart and reasonable people do.

Too bad Marquette Madness is 200+ days away.  I'm ready for next year right now!

[GGGG]

A lot of people here have been played by hysteria caused by these two guys.  Are we about to have online bake sales and petitions asking Buzz not to leave?  Has anyone hired a plane to pull a banner around that says we love Buzz?  A singing telegram?  This stuff is crazy.  Are these two guys even MU fans?

We're being told an AD that went to Notre Dame would like to downgrade our program.  A president that purposely took time out of his original speech to the MU community to highlight athletics and men's basketball in particular is also in on the destruction. 

Next thing you know we will have people here fly off the handle because the AD spoke about the coach which he supervises.  Too late.  We have the most insecure fanbase on the planet.  Buzz isn't going anywhere.  If he does, the sun will rise in the east and we will hire a good coach. Three of the last four have taken us to the Sweet 16 and the one who didn't played for it but his team show about 25% against Arkansas.  I'd hate to see him go for all the reasons stated, but you would think that our basketball program lives and breathes as the result of one man.  BS. Have some damn pride about your program and the legacy created under many coaches over the years.

Agreed.  Now people want the press conference confirming he is staying?  Cmon....

I was a young season ticket holder when Kevin O'Neill left and I thought it was the end of Marquette basketball.  It wasn't.  Went through some doldrums but we are better than ever.  MU basketball is more than one man, but I am very glad that man is staying.

Let's recap the highlights of this thread:

*Someone posts a rumor about Buzz leaving
*Board melts down after 30 pages in a few hours on Sunday
*Digger, Blue, and Durley get weaved into the thread...what a surprise
*Badger troll poses as SMU know it all and suckers Hoops, et al into believing he is an all-knowing SMU insider
*CT make his first successful batch of Real Chili at home, minus oyster crackers
*Alleged fighter pilot on magic mushrooms (allegedly) posts haiku rants till 2AM...by the way if your are in the military, THANK YOU for your service.
*Tony "Bedford" no where to be found
*24 hours later, this is still an unsubstantiated rumor

Did I miss any highlights?

Maybe just 1, as we hit over a 1000 postings and counting.......

No, no you didn't. You didn't give any info. other than "buzz is unhappy".

I was willing/wanting to hear some of your info., but you never provided it.

You acted like some sort of insider, but never said anything of value, or anything that even made sense.  

Goose - I concur.  I'm OK with you "wanting to protect a source", but you never provided any rationale for Buzz being unhappy.  You never build any kind of a case.   Tough to assign you any credibility given these circumstances.

[Goose]

AZ my credibility came when I mentioned both Buzz and MU being unhappy with each other weeks ago. I would think with the subsequent events my stating the rift well in advance would be evidence enough. Really do not care, my only goal was to let fans that care know we had a problem.

I think by now anyone on this thread knows why the two parties have a wedge between them. Buzz protects his fella's and admin thinks Buzz is loose cannon. Was asked a dozen times about loose cannon, mocked thirty times about it and could not believe what was so hard to figure out about that comment. MU is worried about overall reputation and Buzz is worried about his boys and winning.

But he's not leaving, right?

FWIW, between the different Marquette boards, there seem to be 4-5 people actively posting that claim to have inside ties to the Marquette program. In the past 24 hours, those people have been the ones that have all pretty much voiced concern that Buzz may leave.

Maybe there was nothing here. Maybe it was SMU trolls stirring the pot. Or maybe the people that claim to have inside knowledge actually had inside knowledge. None of them have shared any specifics of what the turmoil was about, so Goose isn't alone in that regard, but all of them seem to have had legitimate concerns.

Honestly, early on, I was very skeptical about Goose's claims, but I can definitely verify that he's not the only one saying essentially the same thing. I don't have the same insider contacts any of them do, so I can't shed any more light on the situation, but it seems unlikely they would all have the same concern at the same time and it would be completely unfounded.
