[Chicos' Buzz Scandal Countdown]

"They discussed the news out of Marquette, with the hiring of Wojo. Buzz says, 'Wojo is a stud.' Compared Coach K's status to John Wooden's and says the pedigree will validate Wojo. Says the kids at Marquette will be great and do everything he asks. He's very happy for Wojo, and will congratulate him this weekend in Dallas."

Of course, Wojo already said he'll be forgoing Dallas to spend that time with the players building his relationship with them, as that's his #1 priority. So he may have to wait a bit for the congratulations from Buzz.

I could give a rat's ass. I'd prefer he not opine on anything MU does from the time of his departure on.

[mugoose]

alright, that's cool.

i've moved on. VERY excited for Wojo and the changes that will come.

Season can't start soon enough IMO.

As long as it's analyzing our matchup from the CBS studio with Gumbel, Chuck, and Kenny Smith on the first and second days of the tournament from next year on I think I'm fine with it.

Well, obviously.

Like Crean did a few years ago

This!!  I was a Buzz slurper but this statement is VERY telling on priorities for Wojo & Buzz.

agree totally.

Thought the exact same thing

[NotAnAlum]

I actually do not think it would be the worst thing in the world for Buzz and Wojo to have some kind of dialog.  The official story is that Buzz left of his own account.  If I was Wojo I would operate under that assumption until Buzz told me otherwise which based on the egos involved I doubt that Buzz would ever do.
In my business we talk to competitors any chance we get.  You do so carefully but many people will tell you a lot of good information. Knowing Buzz's propensity for 30 minute answers to questions there is no telling what Wojo might learn.

I think Wojo has better things to do than listen to Bert's tale of overcoming adversity through sheer effort to rise above a hardscrabble life and become the man, husband, and father he is today

i wouldn't consider Va Tech to be a competitor in basketball... In any sense of the word.

I don't see what Wojo could possibly learn from Brent that would be beneficial. I would much prefer Wojo have a fresh perspective on his team he is coaching...don't need Brent polluting his head at all.

True.  But it might be really interesting to know how Buzz beleives the power structure in AAU ball in Chicago or NY or even Philly (where we had that "unfortunate incident") views MU might be worth the time.  What BE schools tend to have a pipeline into what programs.
There are 190 days to MU Madness spending an hour in one or two of those days is a pretty minor investment.

+1 Brent comes from the Gillespie tree.  Wojo from the Coach K tree.

Who can learn from who here

Couldn't Wainwright answer those questions?

[Tums Festival]

I'm just glad fans don't have to go to a website called Gobbler Country to get any news about us.

Billie likely knows more about hangover cures than Mike

[Spotcheck Billy]

Bazz would just want to ask about Coach K looking for a match-up weakness

Coach K's tree has many branches. Any of them have a record as good as Buzz's?

Man, he had a brutal record at Texas Tech (8-23, 1-17). That was an abolsutely horrendous hire on the Red Raiders' part.

What are you including in the record...wins and losses or the entire enchilada?

[Galway Eagle]

Yes, Mike Brey.
