Michael Hunt taking over the MU beat for the Journal Sentinel.

Why don't you guys give him a break? Given newspapers these days, we are honestly lucky to have anyone dedicated to covering us. Thy are getting laid off in droves across the country and have been for years...

Also, does DePaul have a college bb reporter dedicated to them from either the Trib or Suntimes?... I don't think they do. Or Illinois or Northwestern? No, they have roving reporters who also come up to Marquette for games occasionally.

Consider ourselves lucky to have someone dedicated to us.

Michael Hunt was a fantastic reporter and writer during his days on the Bucks beat. He blew Enlund out of the water. He might not work as hard as Rosiak, but the stories will be written just as well, if not better. He knows basketball, maybe not the college game as well as the pro, but he'll do a good job with the beat.

As for someone before saying Bob Wolfley has "too much on his plate," I'm not sure when Wolfley's ever done a story that required him to leave his couch. Hunt has been in locker rooms and clubhouses for the past 20 years.

Marquette fans could do a whole lot worse.

Was in a meeting today with Richard Beaver.  True story!

I don't know why, but this guy makes me think of Mike Hunt:



sans the perm, of course.

[downtown85]

Does he still have his 70's perm?

His perm is on Mike Hunt.

His perm is on Mike Hunt. 

Of course, what else would catch fire on Mike Hunt?

Another good reason to visit the electrologist.

Hunt was an excellent reporter when covering the Bucks and is a very good writer.

If he doesn't phone it in -- and I'm saying here that he's too professional to do so -- he will do a nice job covering The Gold.

I continue to be amazed by what a schlub this guy is.

What's amazing about that picture?  When Mike Hunt is clean-shaven and smiling, that's when I'm amazed.  Otherwise, disheveled and frizzy is how one should expect Mike Hunt to look.

Now that we have had a year or more of Mike Hunt, are you still sticking by your man '82?
