Well it didn't take Mike Hunt long to go there...

Speculation of Buzz going to Auburn.

http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/250547291.html

Doesn't make sense... good basketball takes a back seat in both conferences.

[GB Warrior]

This is probably a good business move by Hunt. If he keeps us focused on baseless rumors, maybe we won't notice he's 2 weeks late to every news story.

[Dawson Rental]

In all fairness to Hunt (am I really saying this?), it seems to me that he isn't giving the story any credence, he's just saying here go the usual rumors.

[AirPunches]

Mike Hunt stinks and I'm sure he is loving this opportunity to troll. Buzz has called him out numerous times and Buzz rarely gives Mike Hunt anything of substance. This probably irritates Mike Hunt hence the constant articles when things go bad. Was Mike Hunt this active last year at this time? Seems he is writing more now than ever.

[keefe]

Mike Hunt seems irritated. Mike Hunt really needs to shave that bush, too.

Buzz to Auburn? How bad does Hunt think working for Marquette is?

He obviously thinks that it's equivalent to being forced to cover a local basketball team that you hate by a newspaper that desperately wants you to quit your job and start a new career as a covered gutter salesman.

Well, it would be less pressure on Buzz.  Football power that has plenty of money and doesn't really give a crap but wants a respectable BBall program.

Ding ding ding.

The way Buzz has handled criticism this year makes me think that his next move will be a place like Auburn. Safe in realignment, plenty of money, zero pressure.

How did he handle it?  I don't remember him addressing it except for the one time that he complained about the fans booing a Jake Thomas three-pointer.

I think that's exactly MUfan's point. I hope Buzz has a little more respect for the game than that, though with how much of a mess our university's leadership is, nothing would surprise me.

I said a few weeks ago, imagine if Davidson didn't cough it up last year?  We would have been one and done as Big East champs losing to a 13 seed followed up by a year in which we didn't make the NIT when we were picked to repeat as champions.

I imagine a few folks would feel a little differently right now.

We lose to Davidson and does Vander go pro. I'm not so sure. Can't live on what ifs.

Based on how Vander acted, he be going either way.

Doesn't Jeff goodman usually get the early word on the buzz leaks?

Well, good thing Davidson did cough it up and we weren't 1 and done as Big East Champs losing to a 13 seed!

What's the point? And you wonder why people rag on you for all of your Tom Crean man crush. At every opportunity you get you try to tear Buzz down while defending the Bronzed Beast to death. Guess what? We beat Davidson. And then Butler. And then SMOKED the ACC regular season and tourney champ Miami. Got to the Elite Eight. All with 0 players being drafted by NBA teams. Meanwhile the man you have a constant hardon for took his 1 seed with 2 top 5 picks and couldn't even make it past the Sweet 16 at It's Indiana, It's Indiana! Have fun with unemployment Tommy.

Of course....the line between success and failure is razor thin.

[Chicos' Buzz Scandal Countdown]

Of course....the line between success and failure is razor thin.

Just like a handful more field goals this year would have had us at a 5-7 seed in the NCAAs.

This is the nature of the game... it's not news nor is it unique to Marquette

I wonder if there's a guy on the UCLA boards who points out that Missouri's defense was pretty porous at the end whenever someone brings up their 1995 Championship.

A complete collapse by Missouri who led big in that game and then gagged badly in the last 7 minutes of the game.  UCLA was extremely fortunate to win that game, and most honest Bruin fans know they were given a gift...not just with that play but how Missouri collapsed having been in control for most of the game until letting UCLA go on a 15-0 run.

That % of yours keeps getting higher.  What's it at now, about 65%...higher?

What citicism? A few dopes on the internet?

So do you think someone on their boards brings that up all the time to belittle their accomplishment?

+100

Scoop represents about the most fanatical 1% of Marquette basketball fans. Buzz isn't getting much criticism from the other 99%. Not saying they are happy with the season but they don't care as much and don't fall victim to the "what have you done for me lately" fallacy.

Buzz is just fine where he is. Nothing to see here folks.

I'm not belittling anything.  Sometimes you need luck.  Buzz Williams said we were lucky to be still alive.  I guess Buzz belittles....nuance.

No, I didn't trade user names.  The mods have shown they take action when that happens.

There's always a level of luck involved; it's sports.  Buzz did say they were lucky.  You continue to harp on it a year later.  Makes one wonder.
