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.

you can get the best nachos in the city on like 19th and Center, or somewhere around there. All the fixings, dumped on a bag of nacho doritos in a Styrofoam container.

That spot on your route?

Back in the early days when all there was was the old Geocities Board there was a thread on recruiting missteps. There was a story about Demon Farmer's recruitment. Farmer was highly sought after and, because he was from Flint, many thought Crean had the inside track as he had been working Farmer while still at MSU. This was seen as a signature signing for the newly awakening MU program under Tanned Tommy. Crean took the kid to Saz's and the kid gorged himself on ribs. Next day he had hideous flatulence. According to some, Crean ribbed the kid mercilessly about his farting throughout the visit. Evidently, Farmer resented the jokes and out of the blue signed with USC.

I go to eat dinner, come back and there's 2.5 more pages and a press release from the Williams?

5 Guys - it's all about the peanuts and.....the peanut oil. I was warned before my first visit that the fries are enough to feed the family. And I enjoy reading the snippets on the wall from the "Best of Washington DC" magazine.

We have to be the most paranoid fan base in all of sports.

Now that we have a press release, as someone mentioned last night around page 44, when will KSU17 & KSU18 visit?

As soon as their mom lets them out of their time outs.

Does "We are already looking forward to next season with a core group of returning players, "
mean some players are getting Buzzed (or Larryd)?

Seriously, if those quotes are accurate, DC really sucks for burgers. 5 Guys is OK...but terribly overrated. I'd rather hit a Sonic because at least I can get a decent strawberry shake.

You REALLY want this abomination to hit 100 pages, don't you?

Buzz ain't going nowhere like I said yesterday. Damage is done and school had their balls squeezed.

Five guys is from the DC area originally, I believe. So they should be ranked high there.

Also we just defeated SMU two years ahead of schedule. I hope they get used to it! welcome to the BE.
