The Thunder guy sounds like an idiot

[Groin_pull]

A recap would be much appreciated. Thanks.

The Thunder guy sounds like an idiot

Thun-douche? Yeah, he must really be mad at something because he seems to yell a lot. VOICE IMMODULATION IS REAL, TINA!

[mugrad2006]

The Thunder guy sounds like an idiot

Madison grad. Despite what he says otherwise he's also Madison apologist. Also from Boston so really doesn't get in-state rivalry.

[AlienWarrior]

Absolutely an horrible interview. No ?'s about the current players, recruits, style of play. Last ? was about Lebron. They told WOJO his intro yesterday was a B+. Stupid 1st ever Milwaukee interview by 2 morons. A disgrace.

[RushmoreAcademy]

Nothing very groundbreaking.
Asked him about his family and about him getting a little choked up at the presser.
Asked him if he contacted MU or they contacted him - he said it was mutual.
Asked him about other assistants who have left and he said he thought others did a good job after leaving and shouldn't be measured against Coach K.
Asked him a few weird questions like if people ever call him by his first name.

Nothing to see here folks.
Those guys sounded like the a nicer version of the radio guys from Parks and Rec.

Thunder is awful.

Homer as a talk show host is ok, but not great.

I love Homer as our play by play guy, and hope he does that forever, but Homer & Thunder is perhaps the worst sports talk show on the air (Homer if you read this, its mostly Thunder bringing you down. Get another partner and maybe I'll be on board!).

[willie warrior]

Was a short interview and he said all the right things. Homer gave him 30 seconds at the end to tell a LeBron James story. Homer would have done better to have him tell a D. Wade story. He repeated stuff that he said in the presser.
Family is very special to him. Has two young sons.
Not going to Final 4. He has too much work to do at MU.
Wants to make the transition for current players go well because he knows that is tough on kids.
Loves that MU is a basketball school and was very impressed with the Leadership and people he met while here
He will be very firery once the games begin--he is competitive
Feels that Duke Assistants that left have done good job as HC. Measuring stick opf Duke program is tough to compare to.

[mugrad2006]

Nelles literally challenging MU fans to call in if they don't want him to talk Badgers basketball.

[CAGASS24]

Thunder is a complete hack - a monkey could sit there and get the 'ratings' he gets simply because its a sports show - he's unbearable

Given the competition from greats such as the Big Unit the title of "worst" is hotly contested, but "Thunder" gets my vote as well.  I can't even stand the voice.  Not enough room to discuss content or style deficiencies.

YES YES YES

That was my first thought!  I was trying to find a picture of "The Douche" to embed...but work filters make searching for "douche" very difficult. 

[CAGASS24]

Sometimes I will even listen to Chicago sports talk (and I can't stand chicago sports) just because I know Ill get a much more professional, analytical, and, frankly, journalistic approach -

[Skatastrophy]

I had no idea Ruxin was on Parks & Rec!

[QuetteHoops]

Matt Besser ( the one who's not Nick Kroll) is one of the most underrated and influential comedians of this generation.

This seems noteworthy.

The Final Four is an orgy of coaches looking for new positions. Perhaps Wojo has his three in mind and they're out recruiting without institution limitations for an announcement later in the month.

[mugoose]

yes, thunder is an idiot! loud. he talked over wojo 4-5 times. what a hack.


Their questions were atrocious, too. Lebron stories?!?!?! WTF

[MarsupialMadness]

I had no idea Ruxin was on Parks & Rec!

Yea, and he's even more annoying, which I didn't think possible.

[We R Final Four]

What is most disappointing in ESPN 540--"The Home of Marquette Basketball" didnt even carry Wojo's presser yesterday.  But you know who did?  The goofs over at am 1250 WSSP AND am 920 THE BIG 920 which is all Badgers all the time!

And then they did such a terrible interview to boot.  Sorry about that Wojo.

Thunder should be sent to prison

[GOO]

Thunder should be sent to prison

I like it.  That phrase has to be used more around here.  So far we have Buzz/Brent and Thunder going to prison.

Honest question; what does "recruiting without institution limitations" mean? I've heard that or similar references before.
