The Buzz leaving rumors have started.....

[LovinCrowder]

Chuck Frieimund at 1250 WSSP just stated on the air that by opening day, Marquette will be looking for a new head coach......that Buzz is hot right now, someone will pay him mega mega bucks (like Texas) and insists he will be gone......

Wickett, on the other hand, said no way - that he won't leave with the incoming class that he has next year...that in the next 5 years, Buzz has the opportunity to do something special....and that he will definitely make the final four.....if not farther...


Here we go........I was hoping the rumors wouldn't start yet.....I hate this

[bradley center bat]

Buzz is get $$$$$ well at Marquette. He is at a basketball school, which he likes. Chuck Frieimund must think MU is not a big-time school.

[NavinRJohnson]

I just do not see many jobs opening up this year...and that includes Texas.

Those two have absolutely zero information.  Like everyone else on that station. Friemund is a mouth-breather from the sticks and a complete Badger homer. Don't give it any thought.

Its that time of the year when basketball is hot and they need something to talk about.  If you're listening to 1250 for sports, I feel sorry for you.

[Litehouse]

That doesn't rise to the level of rumor.

This deserves its own thread?

Buzz to the Vatican has more credibility than these bozos.

[bobnoxious]

I really wish we could all focus on the fact that we can win the Beast tomorrow afternoon, if for reasons we cant control Buzz leaves after the season we have one of if not the hottest assistant coach in the country that I'm sure would love a promotion.  The program is in good hands

[MileHigh]

When we win Saturday and have at least a piece of the Big East title, make a statement in NYC, and make alot of noise in the NCAA, I expect him to get another nice payday from Marquette.

Plus, with the C7 and the new Big East, being a leading school, having a chance to be in the spotlight, why give it up?

[MU82]

Rumors about Buzz leaving? That's crazy talk! I mean, those kinds of rumors just never happen!

[madtownwarrior]

at least this rumor is form an idiot at 1250 who knows nothing...

[Canned Goods n Ammo]

Uggh.

It's frustrating because:

A. They don't really follow MU hoops closely and use dumb cliches like "they play so hard".

B. It would be SOOOOO easy to get a "MU Expert" on the show. I don't expect sports guys to have intimate knowledge on EVERY SPORT IN TOWN... but it's pretty easy to have on a kid from "Paint Touches". Just takes an email and a phone call.

C. Sports radio is hard because you have to "create content" with a "local flavor", because that is what Wisconsin likes. But, like I said above, it's not THAT hard if you find the right sources.

[Oldgym]

That doesn't rise to the level of rumor.

This.  Know-nothing sports jocks who would prefer to not to discuss what happened to Bucky last night will stir it up whatever else they can think of to get ears on their programs.  No different than Terry Bradshaw guaranteeing X will beat Y on Sunday, only to look like a fool by halftime of said game.

These guys know which buttons to push.  Ignore them. When their unfounded garbage fails to activate a "Buzz please stay" letter-writing campaign, they'll go talk about something else.

DEAR PEOPLE ON THIS SITE:

DO NOT LISTEN TO THAT TALKING JAGOFF! ALL HE'S BEEN SAYING FOR TWO WEEKS (WHILE GIGGLINGLY-HAPPY) IS THAT BUZZ IS PREPPING HIS RESUME AND WILL BE GONE.

DON'T LISTEN TO HIM AND WICKETT. THEY ARE TERRIBLE. CHUCK IS THE WORST PERSON ON THAT STATION - EVEN WORSE THAN SPARKY! HE'S A STUTTERING-JOHN OF AM RADIO IN MILWAUKEE.

That entire crew at 1250 no jack about the MU program. They don't do anything to learn about it. They just sit around and spew garbage about it. Wickett. Chuck. Sparky. And especially the Big Eunich and his Zapruder-film of the brawl last year we are still waiting for. They have zero sources, and even less credibility.

[ChicosBailBonds]

Well, there is a wild rumor here in L.A. that would start some crazy dominoes.  I don't believe it, but here's how it goes


Ben Howland gone, even if he makes the NCAA tournament
Jamie Dixon to USC

Now, it takes on a bigger life of its own after that....Sean Miller back to Pitt where he played. 
Pastner to Arizona
Donovan to UCLA
Shaka to Florida

Again, I find this to be a bunch of crap, but this has hit talk radio here and usually dismissed quite quickly.  The Howland rumors are very interesting because the crux of it is that the AAU and high school coaches don't want their kids to play for him.  Dixon, apparently not happy with Pitt and the ACC stuff is dying to get back to So. Cal (why anyone dies to get back to this state these days is beyond me).  The rest, who knows.

That's not a rumor. That's an opinion.

[BCHoopster]

They did exactly what you want, start controversy, it is radio, what else can they do but try and rile up the troops!

[chapman]

Why do you people listen to uneducated morons with sub-100 IQs spewing garbage on the radio for $10.50/hr?  At least don't bother to post it here; Bleacher Report has more credibility.  Turn the dial, Taylor Swift and Kesha even manage to be  an improvement over this.

[Niv Berkowitz]

At some point, when coaches stay at an institution long enough, the media stops including them in every friggin' rumor story. After this off-season, when Buzz stays on at MU, we'll reach that point with him. Just like Few at Gonzaga, people will realize that "hmm, maybe I should listen to him when he says he's happy".

[GGGG]

Here we go........I was hoping the rumors wouldn't start yet.....I hate this

Couple of thoughts here...

1. Stop listening to them if it bothers you so much.  They don't really know anything and are just trying to create a buzz of some sort.

2. MU has only had two coaches who have voluntarily left for another position.  O'Neill went to Tennessee, and MU was a *much* different place at that time.  Crean went to one of the most iconic schools in college basketball history.

3. This leads me to believe that Buzz isn't going anywhere unless it is one of those "no brainer" situations like Crean and IU...and I am struggling right now to figure out what that would be.  Doug Gottlieb mentioned USC....really?

So take a couple deep breaths and calm down.

That is really not a rumor.  Is is one persons opinion of what may happen.  A rumor has some element of being factual true behind it, even if not well know.

This is sports radio blowhards making talk and controversy.  I feel sorry for these guys having to talk for hours about drivel and try to keep people engaged. This is the type of stuff you end up with.  Conservative radio or tv, liberal radio and tv, sports radio... all the same idea/format.  Have to have controversy and get people riled up.

Ignore this.... if it was actually a rumor as in there is a source, that would mean that there may actually be something behind it... here, just a blowhard giving an opinion that he may not even believe in...

[MUfan12]

That's not a rumor. That's an opinion.

Exactly. From these two. Friemund looks like a sex offender.

[mileskishnish72]

What does the job at the Vatican pay?

[Warriors10]

Didn't know Larry Brown got fired at SMU...
