Horribly embarrassed on national TV … again

MU Avenue's National Televised Outrage

Holy crap, you just became my favorite poster.

[hairy worthen]

I don't get the "again" part. MU is 3-2-1 On national tv this season.

I'm sure this game didn't get a high TV rating with a NFL game on and L'ville & Rutgers on ESPN.

\

Right, Who gives a rats ass anyway besides some mu fans and a few lunatics on scoop. I am sure the nation isn't waking up this morning obsessed with how bad MU basketball is.

MU Avenue's National Televised Outrage

And the exuberance that is posted by the Ave after big MU wins:

If not sure if you are right or not PTM, but the effort get's you a gold star in my book.

No more PTM, change name to CSI..  The forensic examiner of threads.  Nice......

DERP, DERP, DERP, DERP.



MU Avenue is a sad broken record. All of his posts fit into the following categories:

1.) Dominic James isn't good.
2.) Ousmane isn't good.
3) Marquette never plays well on 'National Television'.
4.) Marquette always starts slow.
5.) Milwaukee Journal Sentinel grandstanding.

Outstanding work.

Way too much fu**ng time on your hands.  Holy crap - going back 3 years on posts???

I don't "hate" the guy, but a good point guard cannot pick up two stupid fouls early in a game.  (One was over the back...the other was when he tried to pick up a charge.)  Derrick Wilson played adequately in that he didn't turn the ball over much, seemed pretty unflappable against the press, and showed *something* on the offensive end.  Junior was just bad.

He won't always be bad however...but last night he was.

I actually don't disagree with this, I was referring more to MU Avenues "He has never struck me as anything more than a so-so player whose abilities have long been overstated. I know he tries his best, but that "best" is not much. It is very hard to have confidence in Cadougan's basketball skills."

That is a gross overreaction.

I think the crticisms stem from comparisions to a long line of notable PGs at Marquette (Tony Miller, Cordell Henry, Travis Diener, Dominic James, Maurice Acker).  Maybe we're just spoiled because we've had so many good PGs over the years.

Although each was different, MU has been fortunate to have a great run at PG. IMO, of that group, Junior is the weakest.

Thank you PTM for this work.  I've been sick of his broken record about National TV games.

In you list above, you forgot that he is the one that repeatedly starts the thread that MU needs a football team.  In these threads Avenue also repeatedly states that the administration in 1960 made a terrible call by dropping a sport that threatened to bankrupt the athletic department.  I guess Avenue thinks the administration should have known how popular football would be in 2012 and soldiered on with a massive money losing sport.

Ugly, Ugly, Ugly

Now what?

It's up to the team to prove what they're made of. We'll see Saturday.

[The Process]

So, PTM, you went to bed early so you could get up and do that research well rested, right?

Bravo.

Why do you think I egged him on about that NIT thread?

[Blue Horseshoe]

I struggle to recall a Marquette team that has looked so bad and given every indication that it does not belong on the same court as its opponent.

I am not disagreeing with you, but the 3 games on National TV that we've won were against nobody Colgate, a bad Miss St., and USC in a 5th place game. Doubt many people from across the country were tuning into those games. The games we've lost were against Florida and Butler, the 2 most high profile games out of the 5 we've played (not including OSU of course). What I'm saying is that more people nationally likely saw the bad side of our play as opposed to the good side.

[Tugg Speedman]

Don't disagree about this year so far.

That said, this thread is how Avenue incorrect states over and over (h/t PTM) that we somehow do poorly when we are on national TV.  He implies we are chokers and are rarely on national TV.

Both are completely wrong assessments of MU.

New Scoop Challenge .. after every loss, beat MU Ave to the punch by starting the "nationally embarrassed" thread first.

On February 29, 2012, Marquette played at Cincinnati. Following that game, the headline at GoMarquette.com was, and still is: No. 8/7 Marquette Stumbles at Cincinnati, 72-61

See www.gomarquette.com/sports/m-baskbl/recaps/022912aaa.html for the account -- the facts -- showing that Marquette had a regrettably tough night against the Bearcats and was down by as much as 19 points in the second half.

Yet PTM writes, "Marquette ended up winning this game by 15, MU Avenue wrong again!"

Huh?

I know PTM's post shown above has won applause from a few here, but those folks might want to check PTM's claims -- and "facts" -- before signing onto his error-riddled or flat-out erroneous assaults on other posters.

I have never been "proven wrong" here, whatever that means.

PTM and a few others here should check the facts. It is more work than making things up, I know, but at least they will actually add to the discussion and debate.

My mistake. Like I said I believe it was 90% accurate. I referenced the game a couple of days prior on National Television where the Bearcats got pummeled.

If you can't go back into those threads and see how effing dumb you are, there's no hope.

You bring nothing to discussion and debate. Nothing. You are troll for a select group of topics. Reiterating the same topics where you are wrong its not discussion or debate, it is insanity.

Also, to paraphrase someone's signature, I'm disappointed that I already put more work into this than you have.

Annnnnnnd we're done here.

Coach Williams is calling Marquette's 82-49 defeat at Florida the "worst loss" in his coaching career.

"I've never been beat this bad in my career -- 179 games as a head coach," Williams said. "That's the worst loss. Not close. ... We were just bad, really bad in every way."

Of the Gators, the coach said, "I think they're good enough to win the whole thing."

See www.washingtonpost.com/sports/colleges/marquettes-buzz-williams-calls-82-49-loss-at-no-7-worst-loss-of-coaching-career/2012/11/30/6261c5a8-3aaf-11e2-9258-ac7c78d5c680_story.html

I love that Coach Williams is so publicly blunt about how awful MU looked Thursday night in Gainesville.

Good and great coaches are never afraid to say -- for all to hear -- that their teams have big issues or major deficiencies. Such is the case with this year's Marquette team.

Congratulations to Coach Williams on his brutal honesty.
