Your favorite MUscoopisms?

[Tugg Speedman]

What are you have favorite MUscoopisms?

I'll start ...

* we always lose on national TV
* crap the bed
* traditionals

[JakeBarnes]

- Free throws
- Tin foil hats
- Chicos is someone else (not really my favorite... more it's become so redundant that it's there no matter what)
- Vander is terrible
- X is transferring
- Tim Maymon and the Technicolor Sweater

[TallTitan34]

1) Change the name back to Warriors
2) Does a walkon use a scholarship
3) Crean sucks
4) Cursed baby blue jerseys

[klyrish]

"This should be in the Superbar."

Also, this should be in the Superbar.

[WellsstreetWanderer]

Threw up in my mouth

[NavinRJohnson]

- Why does every thread have to turn into an argument about Tom Crean?
- Tom Crean has been gone for 5 years, can we please move on (says the Scooper who not only chose to read the Tom Crean titled thread, but respond to it as well).

[Stronghold]

Buzz to Texas. (And every other opening)

[keefe]

- The MJS ignores us
- People in WI hate us
- The national press ignores us
- Bo Ryan is a physically ugly man

[ChicosBailBonds]

My answer depends on which board.  Of late, it's been the TC board despite 5 years of water under the bridge and our own success...so I'll give you my favorites there


1) Crean is Hitler or some variant one degree less inhumane
2) Crean couldn't recruit
3) Wade, Novak, Diener, etc are stupid people because they defend Crean
4) Crean will be fired before year 5
5) Is Crean in trouble and about to be fired?
6) Crean's wife is ugly and looks like a man
7) MU losing in the Final Four was the greatest tragedy short of the Holocaust and caused by Crean, not the 31% shooting the team did
7b) The NIT loss to Western Michigan was the second greatest tragedy, short of only the Holocaust and the Final Four loss and should not be viewed any differently than those years in which we made no tournament at all (most of the Dukiet and KO years)
8) It's not that he left, it's how he left.
9) It's Indiana, It's Indiana
10) Crean won only because of Dwyane Wade


For when the rest of the time when obsession mode is turned off here

1) Just go get a quality big man
2) Wade is a traitor for wearing IU shorts?
3) Traditionals = racist comment because it MUST mean white only players
4) Buzz to Texas
5) KO is someone you could have a beer with, therefore he's a great guy
6) Facts be damned
7) Why you Hooping
8) Redshirts don't exist any longer
9) Vander should be drafted in the NBA after his junior season
10) Poll ratings, especially preseason, are rock solid, iron clad predictions from the heavens

[muwarrior69]

LW does not talk to BW.

[Eldon]

Oh man, all of these have me dying with laughter.  I've only been on this board 2.5-3 months and I've seen pretty much all of these.  Though I don't get the "Chicos is somebody else" scoopism

[chapman]

We will have a Final Four roster in [this year + 2].

Where's EWill?

[X] can't happen because we will be full on scholarships then, unless of course [last player on bench] transfers.

...or Buzz adopts someone.


And honorary players: O'Tule the Irish center and David Cubillion

Chicos and the Mods got into it ala Crean and Meyers and the Mods banned Chicos for about a year or more. There were a few new posters that sounded a lot like Chicos so the scoopism that Chicos is somebody else. Glad the Mods reconciled and Chicos is back.

[JD]

My favorite word I read on scoop would have to be "chief"

I also love the tifs you guys upload too

I can't believe you make fun of Fran.

[boyonthedock]

Buzz to [most recent school who fired their coach] is my very favorite. I think we're just at Buzz to USC right now, but the offseason is my favorite time for that.

[Avenue Commons]

"This will help recruiting."

Typically said sarcastically.

[Benny B]

Use of "mid-major" as a pejorative term.

[Eldon]

Gotcha, thanks.  Awesome story by the way:  Chicos loves Crean, Chicos gets banned, new scooper joins and loves Crean.  Chicos comes back, new scooper never heard from again. LOL!

[ChicosBailBonds]

Gotcha, thanks.  Awesome story by the way:  Chicos loves Crean, Chicos gets banned, new scooper joins and loves Crean.  Chicos comes back, new scooper never heard from again. LOL!

I don't love Crean...never have.  I actually worked for the man, he's a PITA. Have called him a jerk, douche, etc many 100's of times here.  I just don't like the double standards here from what should be sane, well educated MU fans.  I respect what he rebuilt at MU and rebuilt at IU.  I respect that he graduates players and they are functionally literate (some schools cannot say that....no, I am not saying that about MU but there are other major powers that literally have kids that are barely able to put pencil to paper).  His personality...no thanks. 

I know you are trying to be cute about a certain other poster....he actually joined well before I was banned if I recall.

[muwarrior69]

Now that you mention it have not heard from hoopaloop for some time. LOL!

[hairy worthen]

Douchebaggery, asshattery and 4ever mentioning wood.

[Benny B]

Allusions to ZFB's preferences and/or indiscretions, particularly those having to do with members of the opposite sex.

[ChicosBailBonds]

Now that you mention it have not heard from hoopaloop for some time. LOL!

He sent me a note about 6 weeks ago.  He's been banned.

To add to the fire, we haven't heard from BMA, Canadian Dimes, Murffius, etc, a long time.  I think those guys are me! 

[PuertoRicanNightmare]
