The Everlasting Craptastical Mystery Thread

[Warrior97]

Hope nobody gave up Scoop for Lent. They'd be the real loser in this situation.

Actually I think they would be the biggest winner.

[Lennys Tap]

Well that solves it. Hoopaloop is the "independent" auditor that Chicos found to analyze his posts. It brings everything full circle. I'm sure he just referenced data from that past audit, or it is that time of year again.

Actually, that was SJS/Marquette84/The Equalizer. Hoopaloop is another disciple. Chicos is no Jim Jones or David Karesh but he has at least a couple of syncophants always willing to do his bidding.

I'm thinking sinking my teeth into a big piece of meat might help!

5 Guys Burgers anyone? 

first MU hires Larry Williams, then you admit to being a Golden Domer as well??


p.s. - Five Guys fries are the worst... why would I get a burger from a place with crapty fries

[Warriors4ever]

Can you imagine giving up Scoop for Lent and then coming back on here afterwards to find this thread?  

[Skatastrophy]

Source?

I'm not going to burn a source for you basketball dorks.

Can you image going back a page and read this exact same sentence?

This may be my favorite post in this ridiculous thread.

Was commenting on the prior post re: giving up Scoop for Lent.
Maybe we'll make 100 before I get back tonight...

Went with the crew to 5 Guys for lunch. Gotta admit the double and fries is extremely good with a high gut fill factor. But with a drink it's more than $13. We could have had 2 doubles, fries and a drink for half that at Dick's which, everyone agreed, is more food and a better burger.

Da F*ck you talking about?  Being a Golden Domer

Wanna fight?!

[The Special Brew]

The one thing that this whole incident has reaffirmed for me?

Marquette can be an odd place where strange decisions are made.  Sometimes I think this is what you get when you put celibate men in charge of something, but even that doesn't hold water.  I mean, would Georgetown ever do this sort of thing?  

This entire thing should have been handled much better.

Completely agreed, but I'm not sure this is limited to Marquette. I think it is a general college athletics thing. See Michigan's last two searches for FB coaches. See current Illinois BB cluster. See Pac-10 and SEC expansion and concurrent Big 12 disintegration. There's more of course.

I could easily argue all of these situations should have been handled better. While none of these examples are analogous to what's going at Marquette now, college athletics is full of seemingly intelligent people who make decisions that don't make sense. So there ya go.

Michigan wanted Brady Hoke from the beginning...

[The Special Brew]

Disagree, but my argument is about the process. Why make the advances on Harbaugh if that's not who Brandon wanted? Why lick Miles' ear if Hoke was the man?  Just to stroke some alum/booster? He needed to be turned down by two people before Brandon could hire who he wanted?

[4everwarriors]

That is exactly what is going on.  If Buzz wants to jump to SMU, they are essentially telling him to feel free, but if you stay, here is what you need to do.  I think Buzz's leverage may not have worked out as he would have liked.

Not necessarily so. Buzz is on the clock. Wait for the dominoes to fall. While he obviously doesn't want SMU, the next destination job that opens up, is his. And, that university will essentially turn their program around overnight.
The Harvard of the Midwest will be searchin' for someone who will be happy just gettin' to the Dance and vice versa.

Marquette announces that Buzz Williams is staying put, ending the odd SMU speculation (wishful thinking by the Mustangs).

They aren't amazing, but the Cajun fries make them a lot better.  Not to mention, that's why you save the money you would spend on fries and just eat the complimentary peanuts.  Five guys along with extra peanuts in my mouth...

[4everwarriors]

The terms are probably real simple....recruit ND or Northwestern type kids. If I were Buzz I could call their bluff big time....don't want me, can me!!! If they can him it would expose whatever they are pissed off about. My guess they are pissed off about the assault incident.

My biggest problem on the whole mess is that damage has been done. Another example of bumbling around and poor PR by school. LW should be making some sort of statement, either pro Buzz or throw his ass out of town.

This is the mother of all pissin' down one's leg.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Well, like I have said many times, Buzz ain't goin' anywhere.

Bet some people on here feel real stupid right about now for talking out of their ass*s for several days straight.

Wasn't aware 5 Guys has Cajun fries. I think their small fries run about $4 and can feed the russian army. Don't think I could swap out fries for peanuts when I am having a greasy burger. That's why we fought the Cold War, isn't it?

[Hards Alumni]

SMU## where did you and your deep pockets go?

Just reporting what we heard.  He did look at the job.

I am not so sure he even looked at the job

[Warriors10]

We came so close to the record; why give up?
