Bullseye said something though that everybody fails to mention. That Doc and Strong are to thank for this. Nobody mentions that which is why I think there are some validity to the rumors. Nowhere has anybody else had that information. I dunno, thats the most interesting piece of information to me.

Britney Spears was coming to Marquette around 1998 or so.

I forgot about that classic.  Does it top Bono being MU's commencement speaker in 2004?  I remember hearing that from my younger friends.

I would love to know who started that.  It was pre-social media, etc.  All word of mouth.  Brilliant college hoax.

I think that "hoax" happens at pretty much every college in the country, with pretty much every college-aged celebrity.  I remember when Debbie Gibson was going to come to Marquette.

Odds that those two were a couple of IWB's multiple sources?

I have to step in here as a former Tribuner. Neither the MUTribune nor the MUTribuneSports account once tweeted anything that they had sources or that it was a done deal. That was MUTV. Two separate branches. I'm not getting into the hoax business as I have no clue to its validity, but if you're going to badmouth someone, at least get the organization right.

I have a legit source that says the hoax was perpetrated by fifth year seniors and boxing gloves and bagpipes were found at the scene.

(WISN, feel free to quote me when you run that at 5 today)

You actually have a degree from Marquette?

Quote from: muguru
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.

Let me get this straight

we are up-in-arms because twitter was not accurate.  And how do we know this?  Because a website titled "dudes on sports" that have trouble with the English language said so?

Man is the world upside down!!

^ people act like the news would of become official by now. Not saying they got Shaka, but let's be realistic. We could end up waiting until tomorrow afternoon for anything definitive.

There was a rumor in 1984 that Bruce Springsteen was going to "spontaneously" appear at an MU concert starring Gary "U.S." Bonds.

It didn't gain much traction once it was discovered that it had been started by the Major Concerts Commissioner (the guy that took over from jsglow) because ticket sales were embarrassingly low.

Welcome to the new world ... they're all the same now, reporting up to common editors.  I can't confirm or deny the Twitter account thing as I have never visited the site, but it is still true that the individual identities are slowly going away.
