With this looming cataclysm...

[Canadian Dimes]

Soooooooooooooo what happened to the cataclysm/Hiroshima??

What say you paranoids?   Friday approx. 5pm??

I believe that "MF" was trademarked by Oliver Lee. He could not speak any sentence without throwing in a couple MFs. He had a sweet shot but he was not majoring in Electrical Engineering.

Perhaps my all-time frustrating Warrior. He had incredible talent but he did far too little with it. He had a way of making me pull my hair out. No wonder I'm so follicly challenged now!

Back in the day I took a class taught by Bob Weingart.  One day Oliver doesn't show up and Weingart asks Bernard Toone, "Where's your brother."
Toone says, "My brother's in New York.  I don't know where this clown is."

You're pretty sure of yourself, aren't you?

That is a pretty awesome way to go.

I'm not sure if you are counting me as one of the "paranoids," but I do know that there is one player in danger of not returning.  Not the multiple player, nightmare scenario.  I have no idea if he got his act together and is out of the woods.  My guess is that with players due back on Monday, we will know shortly.

And I have no idea if the changes in academic policy have been adopted yet...or if they will at all.

You are definitely in the group of paranoids. Anyone with a scintella of information (or a belief that information may exist) that contradicts the narrative that a) Buzz is happier than ever these last few months, b) no change in academic policy has ever been discussed and c) even if a change of said policy occured it couldn't affect any of our players is a full fledged tin foil hat wearer.

The only non tinfoil hat wearers I'm sure of are Madtown, Lab, Dimes and maybe Hoops/Chicos.

Yes, you are. And it's hilarious how you paranoids (goose, stone cold, warrior, etc...) are crawfishing like crazy  on your "sources" and "inside info"....

He was also "Mr. VISA" (or was it a "Mastercard) if I recall correctly.

What a great video is that muguru, goose, or lenny?

Is it any wonder that someone with "dime" in their screen name would be a fan of Slim Pickens?

[GGGG]

OK, I don't really know what this means.  I was just told something by someone who would know.  I don't know why that makes me "paranoid," compared to some of the people who think LW and SP are brought from other places to tear us down and become SLU.  I know nothing about any of that...I just know about this specific player.

Question:  Do all the players sign up for and attend summer classes?

[Hards Alumni]

Question:  Do all the players sign up for and attend summer classes?

yes, if possible to spread out the burden of playing bb and class at the same time.

[esotericmindguy]

Snowden started giving Raymonds sh*t saying that Oliver lee was a crazy n***r and he (snowden) wouldn't touch him. 

Seriously?

[GGGG]

yes, if possible to spread out the burden of playing bb and class at the same time.

Jae didn't last year, but yeah...pretty much.  Not only does it lessen the academic burden as Hards points out, but it gets them in the weight room.

My sophomore year, I took American Lit. After getting the syllabus and seeing the outrageous amount of reading that would be necessary -- as much as 500 pages in a single week -- I dropped the class. I just knew I wouldn't have the discipline to do all that reading (and analyzing and essay-writing, etc.) with all the other stuff I had going on. I took an American Lit class the following summer at a community college and, it being my only class, I got an A.

My junior year, at the advice of my adviser, I signed up for British Lit. Second verse, same as the first. Saw the incredible amount of reading necessary and dropped the class. The following summer, I stayed in Milwaukee to work and I finished my lit requirement by taking a poetry class. I got an A/B.

I didn't feel the least bit guilty at the time and still don't. I took all the classes I was supposed to take within the time frame I was supposed to take them. I graduated in four years -- which I might not have done had I overloaded my tiny brain with those lit classes. As Clint Eastwood says: "A good man always knows his limitations."

As long as the athletes -- or any other Marquette students -- are progressing properly toward their degrees, I don't see any reason they should be looked down upon for reducing their case loads during their busiest times (i.e. basketball season) and adding to their loads during their lightest times (i.e. summer). Every student at Marquette has that right.

I'm not sure if you are counting me as one of the "paranoids," but I do know that there is one player in danger of not returning.  Not the multiple player, nightmare scenario.  I have no idea if he got his act together and is out of the woods.  My guess is that with players due back on Monday, we will know shortly.

And I have no idea if the changes in academic policy have been adopted yet...or if they will at all.

So ... one player may or may not be in academic trouble under new guidelines that may or may not exist, may or may not be adopted and may or may not be enforced this year.
Do I have it right?

Think you're a solid poster here and not labeling you a "paranoid," Sultan, but this whole Hiroshima business has been nonsense, and you've contributed to said nonsense.

[mu-rara]

We on this board take MU Hoops very seriously, and that may skew our perspective.  

There are many influential alums who do not like any negative MU news, and have told Fr. Pilarz and AD Williams as much.  They are not anti basketball.  They want their alma mater to shine.  They believe in Buzz giving these kids a shot, even if the kid has had issues (mostly academic).  In return, they expect the kids to stay the f*uck out of the newspaper and go to class.

Fair trade.  I think so.  

I think Sultan and some others labeled as paranoid are only acknowledging this.

[madtownwarrior]

I would assume all the tin-foil hats would be all buzzing (no pun intended) with the forthcoming inside (ahem, "sources") knowledge of Hiroshima happening or not...

[GGGG]

I posted that one player is in academic trouble.  I posted that the reason that many are concerned is because of a supposed change in academic policy. 

But I have never stated that multiple players are in trouble....that this supposed policy change was unfair or some sort of plot to turn us into SLU.  I never said that Buzz could no longer recruit JUCOs....or that Buzz is POed because this would hamstring his recruiting.  If people are jumping to Hiroshima conclusions because of the first two things I have posted, that isn't my problem.

Backing Sultan up here.  He was never part of the 'tin foil hat' crowd.  Grades have been posted for 48 hours.  Any news that you're hearing?

Couldn't agree more '82.  I'm picking up an extra tuition bill for my daughter right now so she can take a class this summer and avoid 18 credit hours in her very demanding Nursing program.  I know how hard she works.  Pretty good summer lined up for her with school and about 20 hours of work per week for 'orange whip' money.

Thank you...and I have heard absolutely nothing.
