Fs1 big East Tip Party

[Knight Commission]

Love the exposure, love the legitimacy of Rafferty, but it feels like a Tea Party Convention.   I get it but so overhyped it feels faked.  The first time Providence had this much airtime since Pitino.   Too forced.  I love this conference but let's be a little more CNN

[LastWarrior]

Have you been to a Tea Party convention?

[Knight Commission]

No but I have watched them.. This feels the same. Mcdermotts comment about trying to get Jay Bilas to respond to a tweet was regrettable. Like someone pandering to Chris Matthews while on Fox's O'reilly Factor.

Just the tip?

[GGGG]

I love this conference but let's be a little more CNN

So you don't want anyone to watch?

[WarriorDoc]

This is a dumb topic.  

It's supposed to be a fun event showcasing the teams.  To see where Marquette has come from barely having big games televised in the C-USA days to getting College Gameday to campus--and now having a 2-hour event dedicated to interviews, analysis, and a little fun?  Come on.  This board used to erupt seeing that Bilas and Raftery were calling the game. Now we have a preseason SHOW and you complain about little details.

[Knight Commission]

Rafferty just said that DePaul "Has a chance" and "Maybe it's their year".  He would never have said that last year.    Bothersome.   Let's stop with the BS.

Very difficult to watch. Very amateur feel. The interviews conducted by the guys in the studio, especially Raftery, are painful. And can people please stop trying to claim the BE "very well could be the best basketball conference in the country." Please.

I liked the MU segment, of course ... though it did remind me about how concerned I am about PG!

Definitive proof Scoopers will find a way to b*tch about everything.

Guilty as charged.

Doesn't mean I'm wrong!

You sound like a cranky old woman complaining about...well, everything.  Of course they're going to say it's the best conference, FOX has a vested interest in the perception of the BE.

This is the most substantive post on Scoop that I have read today.

And I have a vested emotional interest in Marquette. That doesn't mean I have to go on national TV and say Derrick Wilson is the best point guard in the country.

Now leave me alone. I've got to go adjust my hairnet.

Love it.  Great coverage and program.  Thanks FS1.

[MU82]

Plus, they got the tip time of the Ohio State game wrong (unless it's been changed again and the MU site has it wrong).

THE HORROR!!!!

Couldn't agree more.  If some anonymous Scoopers (that post multiple times a day) don't have something nice to say, they can't wait to post it on this site.  I like the hype, can't get enough of Raferty, and I liked the content in tonight's Tip Party. For those who like to crap on all that is good, get a life you f'n critical douche internet nerds... maybe spend more time doing some critical thinking about your nonexistent/ugly/fat wives/girlfriends/right hands.

Not to say the post isn't too bright, but if you're gonna criticize something - you're not allowed to do the exact same thing in the SAME PARAGRAPH.

But back to the subject - this was simply an infomercial. Nothing more, nothing less. Just advertising 101.

I get negative post and whiskey fatigue on Friday nights.

Some guys will bitch about a blow job

Even expensive whiskey will do that to you.

You want that to remain the best kept secret in America or what?

Next year FS1 should do live interviews of MUBB fans during Midnight Madness to ensure their coverage is up to par and avoid this disaster.  Suggestions to keep MUScoop happy:

- Include a "Bigs-Willie Style" section where he can talk about our need for bigs.

- Furthermore: a Chico's Corner with co-host, Hoopaloop. 

- Free throw practice

- Walking boot cam

- Mac and Homer doing some sideline work (actually, I wouldn't mind the interaction with people that actually cover the team and the in-studio guys..hell, give the PT guys a shot if the others won't do it)

- At least a 20 minute in-studio debate about college basketball being a bigs or guards game.

- Keefe providing analysis of the aerodynamics of Deonte
