Mayo Interview

[ChicosBailBonds]

You've nailed it. The emperor has no clothes.

From the guy that claims we weren't sued...oops.  Wrong.   Hell, some of the people piling on here that still claim the basketball team wasn't involved in the sexual assaults. 

I can sleep at night easily, you just keep shooting blanks and pretending to know what you don't know.  It is comical.....nothing better than giving you the rope to hang yourself with.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Funny, a few months ago when I hinted here that Mayo wouldn't be back, the same type of charges were made. 

Hmm.....how did that work out?

There's a thing about protecting sources and contacts, but whatever. 

Normally I defend you. But I know that mayo had a clean slate at the start of the summer. He is no longer here because of fresh transgressions.

[77ncaachamps]

In other words, you don't really know. You just like to brag about what you know but won't share.

Reminds me of when I was 12 and claimed to have a girlfriend in California.

So YOU'RE Mante Te'o!

Todd Mayo: "I felt like in college, I felt like I should've been on the court, that's how I felt."

But daddy Buzz held you back, son.
He held you back.

riiiiiiggggghhhhhtt

If Thomas hadn't started and got 35 mpg Todd May still be here .

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

If Thomas hadn't started and got 35 mpg Todd May still be here .

I'm pretty sure playing time wasnt the issue

[Johnny B]

I'm pretty sure playing time wasnt the issue

Possibly but Todd should have started. I got the feeling he was a 2cd option for buzz

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

My guess is that mayo woulda started if he cut down on the extra curriculars

[Gato78]

There were no transgressions. There was nothing.

[MU82]

There's a thing about protecting sources and contacts, but whatever. 

So now you're what, a journalist? A private eye? A corporate investigator?

You're a piece of work, Chicos.

[GGGG]

There were no transgressions. There was nothing.

Mayo off the court?  Not true.

[keefe]

I see Scott Pilarz is back working at the high school level - maybe he'll hire Larry.

The cream always rises

[Lennys Tap]

I can sleep at night easily

Wow. YOU think YOU'RE swell. Color me shocked.

[Shack]

$50,000 each to Blue and Mayo end of story. Lw was right. Buzz cheated with Dick Strong.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

There were no transgressions. There was nothing.

That is not a position I would try to stick to...

[wadesworld]

Normally I defend you. But I know that mayo had a clean slate at the start of the summer. He is no longer here because of fresh transgressions.

Yup. He just decided not to take classes with the rest of the team for the 2nd session of summer classes, went down to Chicago for nearly a month without telling anyone or responding to any attempts to contact him, and then just showed back up as if nothing was wrong.

Hold the Mayo.

[keefe]

Only if someone is predisposed to believe the musings of a bitter guy canned for cause after the briefest stint as athletic director in MU history.

I do smile at the picture you paint, though - you and LW under a nice warm blankie, appetites (for food, anyway) sated by roasted weenies and marshmellows. Scott Pilarz nearby, reading aloud the romantic poetry of Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning....your eyes as wide as saucers, you turn to LW and ask:

"Did you really go to Notre Dame? And play football there?" He smiles, nods, squeezes your hand, "And in the NFL". Your head now spinning, "Tell me about the famous people you've met - I live to name drop". His brow furrows, "Probably the most famous was Buzz Williams, the popular and successful  basketball coach. Yeah, he was popular, alright. Successful, too, but I was his BOSS, dammit! Here's this freakin' hick who went to a junior college and got his masters at Oklahoma frackin' City and the SOB wouldn't kiss my ND ring. Can you believe it!?" "I'll kiss your ring", you coo. "Later. First, let me make up, er, tell you some stories about the bad man who got me fired". "I'm all ears, Larry - Scott, give the poetry a freakin' rest, would you?"

We are not worthy!

[willie warrior]

Was she hot???

Of ourse she was--just like Teo's imaginary girlfriend.

[ChicosBailBonds]

So now you're what, a journalist? A private eye? A corporate investigator?

You're a piece of work, Chicos.

Uhm, no.  I have friends, colleagues, etc over at the university.  I don't wish to share it publicly...that should not be hard to understand.  When I do put something out there, like Mayo will likely not be around, I get attacked....then when Mayo isn't around you guys go silent...no apologies, etc.  When I tell you the mood of the personnel around Burt for the last few years, capt underpants Lenny is fit to be tied....the poster over his bed is somehow been attacked.  Now, I get it if what I was saying wasn't true, but it is true and later verified here by other sources.  Remember, it's not what is said here, it is who says the what.

I try to lead some of you to water without posting the exact route.  There are other things that I simply will not state no matter what.  I'm sorry if you don't like that, but it is something I have to weigh on my end.  The bigger issue is that some of you don't want to hear the info because you don't like the info, so it's easier to attack the messenger.  Oh well.  Lenny fits the mold to a tee.

Bert is doing a smart job of late of not saying stupid things about his former conference, program, etc.  In the long run, that will serve him well for his own career on several levels.  Now, if you can't get a whiff of what that means without me having to put it in neon lights for you, well I'm sorry.  There are more than a few people that get it and know what I'm talking about.  I'm not your Rosetta Stone. 

[ChicosBailBonds]

That is not a position I would try to stick to...

I always love the lawyer take for situations like these where there are "no transgressions", but just in case here is a large sum of money as a result of those non transgressions because they were imaginary and we like to pay people just in case.

I hear Kobe had no transgressions in Denver, but just decided to pay a large sum of money to a female employee cuz he was feeling generous.

[Lennys Tap]

We are not worthy!

Thanks, Crash. Any compliment from the hands down most gifted writer on the board is very much appreciated.

[avid1010]

Remember, it's not what is said here, it is who says the what.

couldn't agree more.  i often wonder why people that often have good thoughts/info can't figure out ways to communicate without coming off poorly to the majority.  almost like they enjoy the attention or relish that role of pissing people off.  many posters on this site with just as much info don't seem to have that issue as much as you.

This was on Twitter yesterday.  More quotes from Mayo...

Also, Mr. Tynes said the Big East schedule was a week away, last Wednesday.

In some ways, I feel bad in that one quote, that Buzz always said he had to be perfect.   There is the pursuit of perfection, but when perfection stifles growth it can be an impediment.  An athlete trying to be perfect and thinking about perfection all the time can cause them to be robotic.  It's like thinking through every part of your golf swing instead of doing.  I'm all for the pursuit, but its not a one size fits all and can work against some people. 

[Black Swan]

I was told by someone VERY close to the program that Mayo was the worst human being to ever play at Marquette. Believe or not, I trust my friend. There were some bad things going on during Buzz's time and LW was not the devil some have made him out to be.
