Dick Strong Does Not Want Howland?

[Pakuni]

If Cuonzo is Marquette's (current) favorite, do we root for or against Tennessee?  Do we want him hired sooner or experience more success?

48 hours ago, nobody mentioned Martin with the Marquette job.
Then Jason King sent out this tweet:
Not saying he's the No. 1 guy, but don't be surprised if Cuonzo Martin's name surfaces in the Marquette coaching search.

Now, based on nothing more but conjecture here, he's the the current favorite.
Scoop gets loopier by the hour.

Does he talk in the third person like Bob Dole?  

[p.s. I can't resist and hate myself for this but, for anyone in Kenosha, Bob Dole was a senator and ran for president. ; )  Just kidding KW and hope you know I am just joking.  I have much respect for you and what you do.  God bless you.  

Isn't JayBee from Kenosha too?

That's not true.  He had an offer to sell Strong Capital for close to $1.0 billion from a firm in  UK.  This pre-dated the Spitzer stuff.  Post Spitzer, he had to sell and Wells Fargo was the buyer.  I have heard the number was around $600 million.

I have Strong Fund college 529s or whatever they are now.  Locally, Ameriprise was the only selling when my kids were born.  I know they morphed to Wells Fargo, then ING and now ING is changing names again.

Dick Strong is a winner and I hope he has a major, major say  in the process.

Amen.

Dick Strong should be the spokesman for Viagra.

I think Martin would leave Tennessee in a second no matter what happens in the tournament.

Yep.  Cause he isn't that good a coach.

The gentleman deserves our profound respect for his support of Marquette Basketball.  Without it Marquette is a bigger St. Nobert's.

Depends...!

Goodman has mentioned a mystery candidate still coaching and Martin I think is at least a possibility.

Not sure if it's Strong or MU, but Howland is not the next priority. However, this is coming from the same source that said Shaka was coming, so yeah.

Dick Strong is the one who knocks.

Martin being a possible mystery candidate is quite a bit different from Martin being the current favorite.

For all I (we) know, MU loves Martin. But there's been nothing even hinted at to indicate that's the case.

Better name:

Dick Strong or "legendary" race car driver Dick Trickle?

Better name:

Dick Strong or "legendary" race car driver Dick Trickle?

I'd sure rather have the former.

Just think about starting a date with "Hi, I'm Dick Trickle."

If Cuonzo is Marquette's current favorite, we have WAY more to worry about than whether Tenn wins tonight.

Any idea how much Dick Strong has donated to MU? Is he a six figure annual donor?

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

Better name:

Dick Strong or "legendary" race car driver Dick Trickle?

The former is a memory and the latter is reality.  

[GOO]

Any idea how much Dick Strong has donated to MU? Is he a six figure annual donor?

Do you mean 7 figures?

[Tugg Speedman]

Do you mean 7 figures?

8 figures

[Hards Alumni]

Any idea how much Dick Strong has donated to MU? Is he a six figure annual donor?

The most.

[GOO]

8 figures

Per year?

[ShannonSmith]

The most... So more than $51million that the Missouri couple gave to MU?

Another SNL skit waiting to be written. Dick strong and Dick Trickle go into a bar looking for chicks..............

[Fullodds]

Let's take it easy on the jokes, we don't want Dick to get all bent out of shape.
