What's going through Buzz and Crean's minds right now?

[Wally Schroeder]

Buzz is reciting the Presidents names in order and Tommy is trying to remember what time his tanning appointment starts.

[jsglow]

I'm not going to tarnish a great day in our program's history.  Both Crean and Buzz were part of a great Marquette tradition of outstanding college basketball.  I'll trust both are happy for their former program.  We only make ourselves look 'small' by worrying about them.  That said, I think we should try to schedule a Home/Home with Indiana.  The BMO Bradley would absolutely rock.

[Canned Goods n Ammo]

Marquette isn't on Buzz's or Crean's radars right now.  Nor should it be.

Right.

Those guys will always say the right things about their "time at MU", but the truth is, they don't really care. It's just a job.

WE all take it personally. They are professionals. Mercenaries. Assassins. Guns for hire.

[DonKojisAllStars]

I'd like to think that the last thing that went through their heads, other than those bullets, was to wonder how the hell Steve Wojciechowski ever got the best of them.

Well done.

[ChicosBailBonds]

They've both failed to attract a recruit like this to our university and Buzz when so far to say he ran the numbers and saw that it wouldn't be possible for us to land a recruit like henry and be successful.  Meanwhile Wojo comes in and knocks it out of the park.  Thoughts on what's going through their minds?

Really?


Timing and luck are part of this as well.  Did Crean or Buzz have a top 5 kid that was from the state who's dad played for Marquette for some time?  Having an extra slot open for his brother, so on and so forth.

The last time a kid ranked this highly was from the state was Majerus going after Joe Wolf.  It's about opportunities as much as anything....a lot of things have to fall into place.

[ChicosBailBonds]

That's a really loaded question...i know alot of people dont like Buzz right about now but I think he is prolly 100% focused on getting VT better and that energizes him.  I am sure he wants nothing but the best for him, he is a good guy and knows MU gave him one hell of an opportunity and will always be greatful for that. 

Crean?  does anyone really know what the fook goes on in that guys head or would anyone want to know?  the guy is bat crap crazy.

Going back to my original point it is a loaded question with two bat crap crazy coaches, Buzz in a good way, Crean not so much

On the level of crazies, I would rank them

1) Buzz
1b) Robbie River Rat \ Cloud Piercer \ Ahoya Ball Scout \ Mr. Hayward \ Canadian Dimes \ Black Swan
1c) Crean

Or better way to put it, all of the above.

Reverse alphabetical order, actually.

Not true. In 2003, Brian Butch was a top 10 (maybe top 5) recruit, a McDonald's AA. We recruited him hard. He went to UW.

Butch was #7 RSCI.

Nice to see Chico's still doing his best to play down the accomplishments of any Marquette coach not named Tom.

I might change 1b and 1c but otherwise I would agree there.

My guess is that we are going to learn that Wojo is a much better X's and O's coach than was his predecessor.

[Groin_pull]

Yes, things lined up for Wojo...but he still had to make it happen. Doubt that Crean could have closed the deal...and Williams had no chance. Wojo came in and made up a ton of ground in six months.

I'm going to enjoy this and avoid any pissing matches. MU has landed it best recruit since Doc Rivers. Let that sink in for a moment.

Just allow yourselves to be happy.

This. Just live in the present and enjoy the ride. Woulda-coulda-shoulda gets us nowhere. Wojo did a great thing. Let's hope his coaching meets up his recruiting.

I have never answered anything on this board with such a high level of confidence.  What is going through their minds right now?

Crean: "Deflections!"

Brick: "Paint touches!"

We now move on to "Floor Slaps"

[chapman]

Crean: something creepy
Buzz: something imagined, probably OCD-driven

Marquette is all over Crean's radar... or at least his media guide.

We'll see what's in VT's soon.

Right on!!   Let's move on from this Crean/Buzz hate obsession.   I suspect they both are happy for MU.   Both made a choice, maybe it doesn't work out.  Their problem.

As has been previously stated the problem with ignore on this board is u still see when other people quote them.  Talk about obsession!

Brian Butch:  The only non-medical redshirt for a McD's player.  Media fails to recognize Bo's use of the redshirt to amass 5 year players.  When you run his system, that extra year is valuable.  Really not a criticism but I was always amazed he was able to get Butch to redshirt.  Funny thing was one reason was to get stronger and put on more weight.  After that he needed to lose weight and get quicker.   

As far a Chicos, there is a reason he loves pissing in our Cheerios....gets his name mentioned while protecting the legacy of Crean (whom he worked with, if you did not know that!)

Butch was #7 RSCI.

His dad went to Marquette?  I believe I stated that.

Here we go again.  Chicos bound and determined to make today all about him.  Moderators please ban this troll.

You and Lenny didn't read what I wrote and now you want me banned because you two made a mistake.
