That would be fantastic.  I would super enjoy watching that on TV with my MU flag outside the house, with occasional scalped tickets to watch in person.

See, but that's the problem with so many of these topics. They don't even allow for the possibility of what I stated happening. It's as if it's wildly unrealistic that Wojo's recruits will excel and that he will continue to improve as a coach.

I, for one, have been quite pleased with the program's trajectory. Could we have done better? Sure. But ask Texas right now how their savior (and our near-savior) has been doing.

I'll be the fifth guy to tell you that Vander wasn't involved in the sexual assault.

I have a reliable source that worked for the Tribune when this happened and said that the DPS reporter was basically told as much by DPS and was also told to not pursue it.

I have a reliable source that informs me that when a new user ID enters a forum with accusations that the new user does not have a reliable source.

*this in no way says there was no sexual assault in the program.  it's well documented here that that situation was both horrible and poorly handled by MU.  just that you don't have a source.*

Come on..... 

You really want him gone and the very real chance that Markus and Sam leave too (and Joey no longer considers us)? 

Excellent logic.
When is everyone going to learn that the dude is just doing bits?

To his credit, he's been a member since 2014 but hasn't posted much. Not saying he's any more reliable than the other 5 people saying something similar, but he didn't just create his account to post that.

Also, I realize this isn't verifiable without logging into my own account - but I had one back when I was a freshman in 2008 but switched in 2014 when I became an employee of the university (which was actually 2013, but I didn't go on Scoop til 2014).  I switched accounts because the other made me easily identifiable. 

I also know this source to be absolutely reliable.  I realize that may not mean anything to anyone else here, but for what it's worth, I never cheered for Vander or other players in situations like him.  I do the same with any team I root for, not just MU.  Athletes should be held to higher standards since they are in the public eye, not lower ones.

I want to win now and want the program to win big ASAP. That said, replacing Wojo at this point would not solve a thing, IMO. Good or bad, he is the gal we brought to the dance and he/they need to find a way to move things forward at a quicker pace.

Not to bring up the SLU reference, but there are many here that feel BOT/admin are not dissatisfied with current state/trajectory of the program. If that is true, Wojo might have a lot more time than one or two years.

Would add, that I am quite certain that not all BOT are excited about the on court performance. It is difficult for the minority to face much concern because Wojo has run a very clean program, maybe the cleanest ever.

Why should they be dissatisfied?  We cleaned up some issues with the previous coach, the trajectory is if we win today we are back in the NCAA tournament.  The SLU reference is horribly wrong, and this program is doing well without the off court drama.  The BOT should be ecstatic.  It's his third damn year.  Get behind this program!

If you are really an employee of the university, I would be careful. While you are only referring information you heard secondhand, it is information that would be considered part of a student's educational record. If there was any truth to the situation, you would be flirting with a FERPA violation.

Fortunately, your source is mistaken. So instead its just libel ;D

Your source sucks.  He wasn't involved.

Your source was wrong.  He wasn't involved.

But you are right about one thing.  I don't give a flying f*ck who you cheer for.  I think its funny that you refused to cheer for him because you were mislead by your "source."

In hindsight, I really should have made a response thread. "If we win out, would it change your perception of Wojo?"

Yes, this end of year run has totally changed my perception. Knew we had enough talent and Wojo pulled it together. I'm very happy!
You know the difference between a dentist and a sadist, don't you? Newer magazines.

That's kind of what I said earlier. It never even dawned on some of these yahois that we actually could do well down the stretch. It's just bash and whine ... and then disappear when they can't rant about Wojo.
