As you may be able to tell, I never post here. 

However, I read this board on a daily basis, and have kept very close attention to the recent Buzz rumors.  I made a call to a source I have within the athletic department and have been told the following:
1) the meeting tomorrow is confirmed.
2) there is a good chance that tomorrow will be the day in which Marquette University decides to distance themselves from Coach Williams.
3) Apparently, the powers that be, feel like the recent "black eyes" on the program (the sexual assault case(s) primarily) are not worth keeping the coach.
4) The powers that be would like to do a "house cleaning" and feel like now is the opportunity for both sides to mutually agree to part ways.

Take this however you'd like- I only post this because I feel it's relevant and not B.S.

I really hope this turns out to be nothing more than a garbage rumor, and vow to never post again if that is the case.

I PRAY THAT I NEVER POST ON THIS BOARD AGAIN!

First and second bolded statements basically contradict themselves. "I have an inside source that I trust enough to post what knowledge they have. However, they could be totally bulsh*tting me and there is a chance this might be nothing more than a rumor.

As far as the last bolded statement, you have complete control over this. Really, there's no need to pray about anything.

things we need to discuss more.

1.  The greatness that is Tom Crean

If Buzz bolts for SMU is there a chance at Tanned Tommy pulling a MacArthur?

Hey now, we have a 50+ page thread for these kind of wild rumors.  I'll excuse you since you don't post much.  Merged.

Three things we need to discuss more.

1.  The greatness that is Tom Crean

2.  Aaron Durley.  Did he play this year?

3.  How crapy the studens are.  Do they even show up for weeknight games?

I think your typewriter is missing some keys.

This isn't an anonymous source. This is "someone in the athletic department who I talked to." Jim Ganzer and Jeff Goodman talked to sources who knew they would be used in a story. That is an anonymous source.

That's splitting hairs. I'll be the first to say that I think this guy is just trying to wind people up and pulling this crap out of his backside. But I also feel confident that some people that have been posting here and elsewhere today and are not journalists are talking to people in the know and trying to at least share something with people not as well connected. The Internet has definitely blurred the lines of journalism, and between message boards and blogs, the number of people that have legitimate reason to use "anonymous sources" has multiplied exponentially.

If I got a call from Dick Strong today (I didn't) and he told me that he felt confident Buzz would be staying, I don't see how it would be a problem for me to post on this site that I've heard Buzz will be here from a reliable source. In no way would that tell anyone where I heard it from, but by the same token, I'm very confident that if that conversation happened, Strong wouldn't want me to put his name on it.

Then the minuscule percentage of credible, non-reporters who post in here and are accurate have been tainted by people like the one who just posted.

I don't have anything to hide.  I wrote my first post with nothing but the intention of getting a rise out of the board.  Yes, childish, I know.  I was then banned by the moderators and had to email them to be allowed to read this board.  I did so because I love reading this board, and I absolutely love MU bball.  I have nothing to hide- I'm a 26 year old graduate of the business school who resides in Chicago. 

I'm not looking for approval, nor do I think my post is something special.  I felt I that I received information worth relaying to those that care as deeply about our team as I do- so I did so.  That is all.

Well then since it's true... Does anyone know how to riot? Not many good how-to videos on Youtube out there.... CBS that was a joke.

I think nothing is a possibility but not just as likely.  This thing doesn't get created out of whole cloth, so there has to be something to it.
Yeah, SMU18 was stirring the pot.

I have as many sources as CBS. None

I wish I had a clue. A meeting or no meeting? Who called the meeting. Why? So many questions.
