Now this doesn't really make a lot of sense. Did you get your identities mixed up again?

The Nightmare, one of my favorite posters, tells it like it is. I really wish Chicos would come clean. He must take us for fools. Really.

You'd feel right at home. They have cables stretched from the bar to the booths. Every now and then they launch a bomber toward one of the booths. When it hits the wall it releases its payload and bombs the booth with peanuts.

I saw that in the video. Hilarious. Of course, flying into a wall is not something a pilot like to think about...

Time to shut er down for the night (morning?) Hope to see this post get over 100 pages tomorrow. There must be some world problem we haven't solved yet. Night all!

I look forward to the explanation from Hoopaloop on what you've pointed out. This ought to really put his multiple personality disorder to the test.

For those who read the SMU boards: who are they trying to hire now?

Based on the 90+ pages I'm going to say both of them need to work on trusting each other. Trustis the "it".

Yeah, just their relationship in general

All this hamburger talk is keeping me hungry. On the flip side, I'm patiently waiting for a Chik-A-Fila to open in New England. I think the closest one might be in like Maryland?!?

From where I sat, he fanned a fire that didn't need fanning to drive traffic to his new website.

Where do you sit? A place of ignorance, I assume. He posted a fact, he did not fan a fire that didn't need fanning. Buzz was given permission to talk to SMU, Buzz was listening and Buzz was considering. Others here with inside information have concurred that.

Goose · « **Reply #2338 on:** March 28, 2012, 07:58:58 AM »

IWB did not fan a fire. Have said it a ton but I really do want to hear both good and bad about the program. Wish everything was a positive and unfortunately not reality. He posted a real story and it actually was a positive for me. I think it was very cool how people supported Buzz and let it be known. Too often things go on without most knowing the facts and that sucks.

I do hope IWB does not have any additional bombshells though. The last few days were stressful and I am tired. Really hoping that this ends up being a long term positive for the program. Maybe a somewhat public fight, disagreement or whatever you want to call it made the two sides realize they need each other. Buzz is the face of the school and I feel comfortable with that.

Let's not forget, LW was brought in here in December. The Basketball season was in progress and starting to heat up. Two months later, there is the bar incident. They never had a real opportunity to work on that relationship.

I don't presume that because they are having struggles right now that that will continue. Give each a time to decompress and there is plenty of opportunity to have a long and wonderful working relationship.

Drive down there. Maybe they'll use you in a commercial....

Henry Sugar · « **Reply #2341 on:** March 28, 2012, 08:07:32 AM »

I'm only counting on Buzz being here for one or two more years at a maximum. Anything over that is gravy.

The good news, in my opinion, is that I think one or two more years will be enough for the program to continue its leap.

Nah, I've eaten at some in NJ.

Two in MA would be the closest for you!

Pleased to say there are 27 locations within a 20 mile radius of me. However, in the south the drive-thru line tends to wrap around the entire building during peak hours.

That's a very Mayan like prediction when you consider MU hoops cannot exist without Buzz Williams... at least according to some.

It's all in how/why he leaves, though. If he leaves for one of the top 5-10 programs, we can recover with a new coach.

If he leaves over some perceived power struggle to a conference-basement program, scaring away all other major coaches .. not so much.

Agreed 100%. IWB is a wannabe player in the AAU/Recruiting world. He's made some less than perfect decisions with his online choices. He threw some junk out there hoping it would stick.

When you boil the issue with LW and Buzz all down, it was a contentious talk between two executives about the future of the company. Goes on all the time.

Successful people are often intense and strong willed. It's gonna happen.

I WANT to agree with you.

However, in the past few days, I've realized it doesn't matter how Buzz leaves. MU will be at fault, and the program will go back to the stone ages.

At least according to the internets.

2002
Yes the program could exist without Buzz. The Packers existed after Vince left but a pretty sorry period in team history until arrival of Brett Favre. I think many of us older posters hold the standard of the program at bar set by Al. I believe we are inches away from being at a higher level in college basketball and really would hate to roll the dice on losing Buzz, especially to an inferior program.

Tugg Speedman · « **Reply #2348 on:** March 28, 2012, 08:25:26 AM »

about 50 posts to go to break the baseball pissing match thread (2402). Everyone catch their breath for the stretch run.

Where I heard this before ... let's think.

Oh yes, April 2008 when Crean left and we only interviewed an assistant down the bench. All we knew about him was he had a losing record at New Orleans and quit that job. We are on our way to becoming SLU then too.

Buzz won't mess with happy. Ask him in 365 days if he is happy and you'll get your answer.
