This reads that Buzz may have interviewed in Dallas.

My point is that Orsini wanted Buzz while the SMU president wanted Brown.  Buzz could have easily sensed the presidents favoritism of Brown if they talked in an interview and decided to pull his name out of the mix.

Does that sound like a possible scenario?

High comedy.  LET'S GO ALL IN ON THE SPECULATIVE BATS***, shall we?!  That's what is so sad about this, is that people have taken unsourced, no-evidence rumors, and have created not only a "everyone flee to the doom bunker!" mentality, but an alternate universe, that Philip K. Dick would be proud of.  Holy f***ing sh**.  Start taking the meds, please.

You're right.  I should just stay away from posting about Marquette basketball from now on.

YUP.  Glad this isn't in teal, so you're serious about it.  You should.  Sit this one out for a while, Brick.  A LONG WHILE.

It's the only way to avoid scorn. As far as this board is concerned, unless something happens in a very public forum, it never had any chance at happening, no matter how much evidence to the contrary may exist.

Anytime you want to provide any of this "evidence", big mouth, be my guest.

It appears we have a bunch of know-nothing blowhard asshats who post here. No surprise.

You could not have Cliffs' notes'd the board over the last few months any better in a single sentence.  Slow clap.

What evidence?
(Note: An anonymous person saying his anonymous source heard from someone who thinks something could possibly happen, maybe, does not qualify as evidence.)

Sorry if I pissed people off.  I was lending an opinion on something from that could have possibly happened based on how I was reading things.  If I'm wrong, I'm wrong.

Admittedly there's none for the academic scenario yet, but multiple media outlets reported that Buzz was close to taking the SMU job and most here dismissed it as random speculation. At some point there's enough smoke to assume a small fire existed, right?

Find a link to a story that said anything even close to this.  Dare you.

No, multiple media outlets did not report Buzz was close to taking the SMU job. One ESPN columnist said it. Seven days later, that same columnist wrote "No one wanted the (SMU) job. Not Marquette's Buzz Williams, a Texas native who would've been a perfect fit."
So, apparently said columnist believes Buzz was "very close" to taking a job he didn't want. Which, of course, makes no sense. That didn't stop some from clutching onto that quote as proof of some grand falling out and forsaking the many others writers out there who were of the opinion that Buzz never seriously entertained leaving.

Also, a small fire is quite a bit different from Hiroshima and the many other doomsday scenarios that were being predicted here.

Buzz ultimately not wanting the job doesn't prove that he never seriously entertained the idea of taking it. Every day people make decisions and are "very close" to going one way before ultimately deciding they want to go in the opposite direction.  That's precisely why you're told to sleep on big financial decisions.  It's easy to get caught up in the hype of it all and get excited, but ultimately it's usually better to pass, no matter how "very close" you were to making the plunge the day before.

madtownwarrior

a 1000 people could read that article and not come up with it stated Buzz interviewed in Dallas - that's why the scorn - a huge leap of imagination to make that claim from that article...

You actually have a degree from Marquette?

Quote from: muguru
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.

Man there sure are a lot of A-holes on this board.  Disagree with someone if you like, but some of you are embarrassing with your attacks on people for their posts.  Some posters who at one time had some class, character and credibility have certainly wallowed in the sewer with their attacks.  Sad to see what this board is becoming.  Really sad.

Not sure if you're speaking of me or not (fine with it either way), but I hope the irony of your post isn't completely lost on you.

I think quite often it's that some people just don't let things ever, ever die. One comment, one criticism, one misstep and it can haunt you for ages. The way some people follow everything you post, or Hoopaloop, or Chicos, or maybe even Ted now after his Buzz interview inference...not nearly as relaxed as it once was.

Yes, I definitely was speaking of you.  No doubt about it.  Your posts have truly deteriorated since the season ended.  Really sad.

The world is ending.  The sky is falling, the sky is falling  The horror, the horror.   ;D

Sorry, but this has turned into a lame a$$ thread....but it does have potential for 100 pages with all the name calling.

How did everyone do on the opener.  Dimes, did you get up to the Hayward area?  I am heading up to Nebagamon this coming weekend.  That lake is killer for smallies this time of year.  Usually hook up with them when fishing for walleyes with jigs and minnows.

No im in northern indiana... Have transitioned to small mouths primarily.  Have had mutiple 40+ smallmouth days on the st. Joe.  Usually 3-4 hrs.  3-4 lbs max 18-20 inches.  Most 12-15...lots of fun.

Hit lake muchigan the other day with 2 buddies n got a collection of 14 cohos n kings... Big fish being 12 lbs

Hit the gills last week n were yanking in big slab males as quik as we could.

It has been a faboulous spring with this warm weather...

Tight lines to all MU Scoop anglers!!!

Where in northern indiana?  The St. Joe was where I grew up.  Great Steelhead river. Behind the the 100 center (Kamms Island), the bridge by Merrifield park, down by the Twin Branch dam...

If you ever hit the bridge by Merrifield park, as you look down river, try the third piling in from the left.  We fished it a few years ago, off the second piling, and watched Dick Parker come through on the third piling a pull a few fish out. 

Also, try the middle of the river by the first bridge at Eberhardt golf course.   Nice deep spot.

One other spot...try the bifercation in front of Kamms Island  Nice gravel bed in front of the island.   Good spawning spot.  During the spring spawn, egg sacks work well.

Was up north this past weekend turkey hunting, sun tanning, and scouting out a perch lake.   Fantastic weekend, look forward to getting up there for some fishing soon.
