Hi to Henry

[keefe]

Lighten up, Francis. This board is supposed to be fun, not super serious. It's supposed to be playful, not real life.

FWIW, I actually appreciated Buzz's contributions to the program, and Crean's too. But I see nothing wrong with having fun with it.

Me? I personally blame Obama!

As for Wojo's "surprisingly difficult, unexpectedly unsuccessful first season" ... to you, perhaps. It's your opinion and certainly not a fact. I expected almost exactly what we got. In fact, I'm pleasantly surprised with how we stayed in almost every game against vastly superior opposition.

How dare you diminish the importance of MU Scoop in the global design!

Sir yes sir!

[HutchwasClutch]

The petty taunt and sarcasm above -- "Thanks, Bert." -- makes Marquette and all of us look silly and small.

Are we really blaming Buzz Williams for the outcome of this year's season? If yes, we really feel the need to proclaim it in such an infantile way?

Wojo is our guy and our coach. He has just finished a really tough, surprisingly difficult, unexpectedly unsuccessful first season, from which he has undoubtedly learned plenty and grown as a man and a coach.

Why this need to wallow in the memories of Buzz Williams, who is LONG GONE?

I do not know if Buzz Williams left Marquette or if he, for some reason, was told to leave Marquette. I only know that I like Wojo a lot and feel no need to care about or be reminded almost constantly of Buzz Williams' relatively short stint as head coach.

Two words that were I think really half joking, unnerved you that much? Geez, ok.  Well it's changed now, so maybe the world is back to being perfect again.   

You can't make poke fun at anyone or anything anymore without someone getting all offended about it and overanalyzing it.

The only thing I'm bitter about is the recruits he basically stole.  Namely Pierce and Hill.  Those guys committed to MU.  Not Buzz.  I realize that MU did the right thing in letting them out of their commitments but it doesn't change my opinion.  Its one thing to leave after a down year, but then take recruits with you.  Low class.   

It sounds nice that players commit to schools. The reality is quite different though.

Hey, you asked nicely, so it looks like got your request!

Absolutely correct in virtually all cases. The relationship is with the coach and not the school.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Have you seen the obsession with the former coach that left 7 years ago......

Headed by non other than yourself.

[ChicosBailBonds]

Correcting the lies or factless claims?  Yes.  Confirming that he was \ is a douchebag and I would know more than 99.9999% of the people on this board since I had to work for the man.  Yes.

The constant harping day after day after day and year after year after year....no, that's on you a-holes.  You get to own that all by yourselves....some of you wear it daily.

That's not what so many of these kids sign.

ARREST THEM ALL.

You're right Chicos!

It is really annoying when long time posters come on here and say the same things over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over...

Thank you, knight in shining white armor, for defending the honor of the poor maiden Tom Crean. Because lord knows, no barb or insult should go uncorrected.

I was in tears of genuine horror at the recent "pictures of Tom Crean thread" that made him look like an idiot until you came in, again, on your majestic white horse and saved Tom from the savagery by posting pictures of Crean during the Final Four years. Certainly, you could not have allowed such barbaric attacks to go uncontested. What dismay would have occurred had you not saved his honor and reminded us all, again, that Tom did great things and that you worked for him personally.

What a quixotic martyr you are, sacrificing your own reputation for the honor of poor Tom Crean.

Kisses and hugs.

Kisses and hugs....you may have taken 10 seconds to actually read what I said about those photos, but that was probably asking too much.  All the best.

You mean the part where you stated that you provided a little balance? In other words, lest the images portray TC too negatively, you were there to correct such defamatory conduct.

Thank you, again, for protecting his honor. We are on the same team here. I just don't have the intestinal fortitude and strength of character to wield the sword of honor on Tom's side on a thread by thread account like you do.

I can't remember. Who were you responding to in this very thread when you swooped in to right the wrongs against Tom Crean?

No, the part where I said every image in that thread is great, funny...I concur with all of them.


Below I'm going to post three pictures?  Can you guess what they are of?

How did I do?

The pictures are right there, this isn't hard.  No need to make stuff up.

Well, to be fair to Cam, there aren't any pictures showing up for me.

[ChicosBailBonds]

Well, to be fair to Cam, there aren't any pictures showing up for me.

Here's a hint....The first picture is that of our most recent Final Four after the one we had in 2003.

The other two....

Not showing up for anybody, I wager. Used the quote button to check links and all that's there is blank space.

We went to the 2013 Final Four thanks to a cheating program in Syracuse.

Why whould we put a Final Four on a pedestal and glorify that?  The NCAA is all a crapshot, ai'na?  It's just a flip of the coin?  There is no difference between a first round loss and a Final Four run.  Just luck of the draw.  You win some, you lose some.  No?
