Did you just humanize yourself?

It's not mine, but I *thought* it was pretty thorough. Brewcity77 proved that false!

[marquette09]

Well we dodged one bullet, Buzz is not going to UAB. 

[MerrittsMustache]

No way any of this makes it into written form at this point.  No way.  I call bull on your source.

Agreed. It would definitely be leaked somehow...probably by one of the whiny students who has never heard of schools like Seton Hall and whose daddy is a big-time donor and got him into MU.

[awilhelmscream]

Well, time to call a guy for a a phone interview.  Hopefully I come back to this for good news.  I unfortunately have to stop looking to refrain from blurting out expletives during said interview.

My email to the administration - which admittedly will be ignored - focused on the idea that one of the primary reasons I chose MU was bc of the name.  Right or wrong, many people outside of the midwest only have awareness of MU bc of basketball.  The less successful the basketball team, in some respects the less value the degree from that university has.  Obviously over time one's work  experience trumps where you went to college by 100X, but the point remains.

Well I guess that is unless you went to ND, where it is the only line item on your resume you talk about.

Dont worry... the success of our Lacrosse team and its soon to be strong tradition will keep the MU name intact. This will be extremely necessary given the fact that Big East basketball, with traditional powerhouses leaving for "better" conferences, will soon become a fraction of what it used to. We will soon be joining the ranks of the Lacrosse powerhouse universities like Salisbury and Johns Hopkins. In 10 years, MU will be better known in the East Coast College Prep Schools (and their parents' deep pockets) for our Lacrosse heritage (with LW as the architect) and budget.

There is a silver lining.

I really hope we don't water down this thread by combining it with other threads in our quest for 100.  This thread is too meaty, too powerful, too good to be watered down now!

[KenoshaWarrior]

I agree, this thread is good enough to stand on its own

Looking at that, it's easy to see Buzz is on his way out.

Meeting!!!!

[brewcity77]

To stir the pot...this was just posted on IWB's free website. No idea if this guy has any credibility...

A friend of my just called and said that big money MU contributors are starting to receive phone calls that Buzz is leaving. Seems reliable....

Season wrapup or career at MU wrapup?

[SaintPaulWarrior]

Neither is Kuma's in Chicago.....

Great quote from Kuma's website.

"Death to Miller and Budweiser... they are over-produced and inferior products that prevent passionate craftsmen from sharing their gifts with all of us."

Or someone who read it here, and cross posted.

Hearing from a good and reliable source this morning that the Athletic Department, and particularly Larry Willia

ms, have started to reach out to big donors in order to brace them for the news of Buzz's impending departure.  Apparently, the message being delivered stresses the University's commitment to maintaining a "high quality" men's basketball program.  This same source claims that Buzz met with SMU representatives yesterday.

Given that there's been no annoucement or public confirmation from either side, anything is still theoretically possible.  But this same source has been right about things before and believes Buzz is going to leave.  

Can anyone else confirm a Buzz/SMU meeting and/or AD contact to donors re: his departure from MU?




No one has reached out to me.

Only issue with that is they serve PBR, another mass quantity beer which is brewed by Miller. Hipsters are funny little creatures.

Last year I heard that boosters "in the know" were being told that Buzz to Oklahoma was a done deal.

As SMU officials look on and LW is in the crapper trying not to crap his pants.

[TallTitan34]

How many new sites is IWB going to have?  What happened to the SportsBubbler?  And why do they all look like they were made in the late 80's?

And he seriously named his Marquette forum "Inside the Al"?

Well Seth Greenberg throws SMU rumors to the curb.  Buzz?

Probably.  SMU brought those damn oil-rich boosters too.
