Hey at least we aren't DePaul

[mu03eng]

It was discussed on twitter but for those of you who can only handle one internet thing at a time....DePaul has been contacting MU fans who have purchased tickets in the past and offering tickets for Saturday's game.

Note they aren't saying buy DePaul tickets they are asking if you want to buy tickets to see Marquette play in Chicago. As Paint Touches said, I guess it's better to have a paid hostile crowd then no crowd at all.

Haha I got a call from them this morning. I answered because I assumed it was my dad, who has a 773 number at his office. Then I got an explanation that I had bought tickets last year and asked if I was interested for this year. The worst part was, it wasn't even a robot cold calling. It was literally a person. lol.

Oh man, that is rough.

Well, it isn't like their ticket office staff have much else to do...

I read this thread five minutes ago.  I just got a call.  Hahahaha

...we did lose to DePaul on our home court not too long ago...

We Aren't DePaul--YET

[tower912]

Now, is being DePaul better or worse than being St. Louis?

DePaul's calling MU fans because their ticket office is wondering what happened to our fan base, not their's.  This thread is equally depressing for both schools.

Let's not start talking SLU status just yet. Last time was a quite a long thread. Hate to say it but wish we had Dayton status at the moment. Crazy game and difficult to stay ahead of the curve.

They should offer free bus rides from the Bradley Center. That may get a few more butts in the seats!

Anybody who thinks the last couple years makes us more like DePaul lacks perspective.

hey, with the price of gas today, that may not be a bad investment.  just think of all the weenies and popcorn they would sell too

Agreed.  We have had a short down period, and are only three seasons from a run of three straight Sweet Sixteens. 

DePaul has had 2 NCAA appearances since 1992.  That's one fewer than UWGB.

Better. At least DePaul is in the Big East!

How is that working now for the few blocks to the BC for home games?

Buzz had this program, well, buzzing for 7 years. We we're knocking on the door of the blue bloods for a cup of coffee at least. Pretty remarkable how things unfolded over the last three years. Could obviously be worse and we'll come back, but still difficult to swallow. If anything, it was a sober reminder that we're still far from a blue blood given our susceptibility to these dry spells.

Take Dayton status and GTFO then. If you want that you'll fit in nicely with those mouth breathers.

I think we all want Dayton status AT THE MOMENT. They're a top 20 team per polls, tourney bound.

If we traded places with them we'd be racking up wins in the A10 and they'd be fighting to stay above DePaul.

They lost by about 40 on a neutral court to their "rival" Xavier.

Haha, I got one too.  I said the last two times I attended Marquette lost so no thanks.

Well Buzz was only here for 6 years as head coach 5 of which were good so not sure about him having it buzzing for 7 years unless you're crediting him for his year as an assistant and still counting 13-14 as a win.  That being said between Crean and Buzz we had a solid 12 year run. 

Looking back this 3 or 4 year dry spell will be pretty much forgotten. It'll be like the 4 year spell between Deane's last two years and Wade's first year playing.
