Marquette Gambled -- post last year

[ChicosBailBonds]

Seems to be a good thing down at I4, a''inal?

Might be, but I thought this was about Marquette basketball.   Buzz's guys (players, staff, himself) put MU in a tough spot, and when you're players on the evening news for things other than basketball, when you're on the front page of the Chicago Tribune, etc, etc....well the hammer is going to come down.  The idea that it wouldn't, is beyond belief.  The Buzz worshippers can deny this all they want, but if he had control over his players, staff and himself, then some of those reactions never would have happened.

Your vacation cannot start soon enough...

I'm on it, but we're snowed in....can't go skiing due to high winds and the next 24 hours another 2 feet expected.  Already worked out today, just killing some time.  Probably going snowshoeing in a bit.

Now, what did I say that was wrong?  MU had no choice but to react.

as well as those not reported for "team rules", etc.

you aren't going to get a bunch of attaboys.  The squeeze will be put on.  Just the way it is.  The administration is going to do something.  He didn't like it....he's somewhere that those things matter much less.

You keep ignoring Crean's players failing at MU.   To you, the sexual assault controversy trumps all.    So be it.     But I haven't forgotten Hazel, Mortenson, Amo, Matthews, Bell.    You rail against JUCO's.   I haven't forgotten Kinsella, Blackledge, Lott.    Those things happened at MU.
