Chili is for closers.  MU double digits over X.

Would love to see a Real Chili concession stand at the new arena. Though trying to eat that stuff without a counter could get messy.

What would get messy is the BC toilet stalls

Wojo was the single worst hire in the history of the program.



Wrong.

That dubious distinction goes to former head coach Elmer "Stripes" McGillicuddy, who reportedly made his players eat bowls of crushed coal before games and conducted practices on top of pullman cars at the trainyard when they did not, in his mind, "earn their stripes".

So the bumblebee uniforms were a throwback to the McGillicuddy era.  Neat.

The Xavier game is a MUST win.  Another home loss will further cement Wojo as a fraud.

Just win baby

I was hoping to generate a legacy of imagined history for MUBB!  Something the children of our children would use to re-create Scoop after the apocalypse.  A dystopian scoop, moderated by NersJrJrJrIII (they say he can dunk 3 balls at the same time). 
Ideally, the bumble bee uniforms would have been the result of the one time the BOT decided to rename the team to the Beer Bees, for the bees that were attracted to Milwaukee for it's cream colored buildings and open vats of fermenting beer used as a sugar source for their enormous bee hives - some as big as a city block.

Even though this was meant to be sarcasm, it is a bit of a fail that MU spends the second most on its basketball program behind Duke and yet has been mediocre now for four years running.

But, we might be first in graduation rate or GPA in the Big East, but then who cares?  Oh, the BOT cares.

Watch the rodents and wolverines plY is like watching a bad eight grade g s me.  It makes me feel better about Marquette.  We are much better.

The bumblelees were developed by Bo Ellis (probably during a psychedelic experience), which is likely why the NCAA banned them. But they were awesome!

Agreed, but how about Syracuse, Louisville, or God forgive me, Virginia Tech?  Watching Villanova is a little like watching grass grow as well.  Dribble, dribble, bounce, bounce, pass, pass, shoot....score.

To change the subject slightly, or explain myself, St. Johns had grit, guts, character, spunk, drive, whatever.  They are not that good, but they play like alley cats.  That is something that must be recruited, it can't be instilled.  It is something that people who need to prove something have.  It comes from within and can't be instilled.  I don't see it in people of privilege, I see it in warriors, call it a nothing to lose mentality.  It is not about X's and 0's or skill or plays, it is about something else.  When you see it you recognize it and our program does not have that something. 

O.K. we win some games we should have lost, and we lose some games that we should have won, but the common denominator is a lack of that special something.....that winning something.

I loved it when Wojoe took the team to a cold playground in NYC without their fancy uniforms for a practice last year.  It worked for a game or two, but it can't be an everyday thing.  I really feel the frustration that he must be feeling. 

The coach for Depaul has that same look on his face during games......

Would some history major please do a professional history of the basketball program at MU.  Yes, Bo was a clothing designer, might still be for all I know, took classes at Milwaukee School of Design, if memory serves me.
 
1976-77 were the years, what a coincidence, Al McGuire left the program to become a partner in a clothing company that did what?  It designed high school basketball uniforms, o.k., college also.

Obviously you are right. But they probably inspired him immensely.

Howso? The untucked ones looked nothing like the bumbles

Maybe they incentivized him to be more out there but there's no noticeable inspiration
