The Everlasting Craptastical Mystery Thread

Email is not a sign, can change like that.  Plus it is the marketing department...  

Just trying to slow down our goal of 100 pages.  Don't fall for it.

Agreed.

With the way MU handles crap, take that as a bad sign. They always look to unnatural carnal knowledge things up.

IF Buzz were planning on leaving all along....what about Deonte Burton?

I'm not naive enough to think coaches lie all the time but I think a lot of us trust Buzz' character regarding kids. So...if we believe in his character, would we also believe that he would try to get Burton to commit although he was planning on leaving with 1-day to 3-weeks after this announcement?

To me, that says he's being shown the door....you know, if this is true and all.

This whole situation seems like Jimmy Johnson vs. the President of Miami, when he was getting mad at Jimmy/the players for off the field issues and Jimmy told the players- dont worry about him I'll deal with it, just keep doing what your doing and win. I hope Buzz can have a similar outcome...2 national championships

I know our problems are about as comparable to Miami's and MU bball is to SMU bball.

Maybe Larry figures since he went to ND he's an expert on everything and he'll just do that basketball coaching himself in his spare time.

Not to get off track, but why does everybody keep bringing up larry's ND education?

Do we really think he's trying to destroy MU, or he can't possibly be good at his job because he went to ND?

And 2 Super Bowls!

Yep.  This reeks of Digger's Revenge!

There are a lot of people on this board who are heavily invested in the "I'll stay as long as they'll have me" schtick.  For some of those people, it will be easier to blame this on the University that they loved long before Buzz arrived (and hopefully will love long after he goes -- whenever that is) than to admit that they fell for a line.

If he goes, it was abso-figgin-lutely just a line.  "I'll stay as long as they'll have me" <> bolting after 4 years.

[MUMac]

I really miss the days when a long thread was the usual Crean is god/Crean sucks debates.  Can't we go back to those days?  

[dw3dw3dw3]

Another conspiracy thought....They can't fire him as they will have to eat up his contract, but what if they are saying a couple troublemakers need to be shown the door in addition to raised standards of admission.  This would explain the predicament Buzz would be in and almost make it better in his mind to go to SMU than to have to cut some players. By some players, there is obviously one who sticks out, and probably any others involved in last years incident.
There might be also a chance he wouldn't be able to take some/all of the guys coming in over the next two years if they can't get past admissions.

[TJ]

Holy S. Ners would burn the Bradley Center down.

Because he was so excited that his man-crush Buzz won the game?

[Lighthouse 84]

If this tumbles, we do have a nice option being currently explored.

What's the option?

[MUfan12]

I'll echo what Sultan is saying... it's not good.

Nothing is done, but MU hasn't exactly made a push to keep him. LW is basically waiting him out.

I will be very, very surprised if he is still Marquette's coach.

Maybe we've been emailing the wrong people... Who are the people on the BOT?

Edit... well here they are, anyone have a handy dandy email list for them?

They cannot fire him!! They can make his life miserable and probably have already. Buzz is in the drivers seat and controls the next move. I hope he sticks it to them and stays for ten years.

And everyone thought Frank Martin/KSU was a singular strange deal.

Wait until they get two schools who crapey on their coach with no viable strategy in just a week's time.

I think the 67th page is a good time to chime in that I wish Rosiak were here.

[Lennys Tap]

Oh man, I can't wait until SMU wins more games than MU and Buzz freaks come out and show MU how they were wrong.  

Well, this "Buzz freak" won't wait until it happens. I'll say it right now. Kind of like when I told you in January of Buzz's first year that he was a best recruiter/coach/ we'd had since Al.

I didn't leave myself the wiggle room to second guess on Buzz the first time (as you and many others consistently did). I won't do it now. If he goes to SMU, their program is headed up, big time. Ours will be going in the opposite direction. When they'll cross going in different directions is unknown, but it will happen.

[Freeport Warrior]

They want to keep Buzz on their terms. He is free to walk away if he doesn't like them. That is where we are at right now. I have no idea what their terms are.

[🏀]

So we have a power struggle.

unnatural carnal knowledgeing Marquette.

What type of merchandise does SMU have? Hopefully something good.

Well, it may take a lot longer for Buzz to build up SMU as he will not have the Three Amigos, Lazar Hayward and an incoming Jimmy Butler waiting in the wings (3 NBA players and the schools all-time leading point scorer).
