Tom Copa.   Nice guy back in college.   Crean showing up is the unintended consequence of IU showing him the door.    Time to act like adults and not internet tough guys, be gracious, and thank him for his time at MU.

mubb confirmed BBQ will be back next year

I commend you on your maturity but I thought the guy was a phony prick when he was our coach and nothing that's happened since has changed my mind. So my "thank you for the FF, etc.," will always be tempered by that.

But he's responsible for 8 postseason appearances and half of the best era since Al. He may be a prick, by all account Williams Deane and O'Neil weren't exactly balls of sunshine either. But its a centennial celebration and like it or not he's the one of the 4 coaches left who've been instrumental in making MU what it is today.

It doesn't matter whether he is a phony prick or not.    It has been long enough.    Bygones.   It is time for us to start acting like gracious, mature adults who can move on and welcome him back and thank him for his accomplishments.

Isn't that kinda what I said? Or did you mean to quote Lenny's?

[GooooMarquette]

+1 to Boxer and Tower.

The guy brought us one of the best players in MU history and took us to a Final Four.  He is entitled to appropriate recognition for that.

I meant to quote Lenny.    Mea Culpa.

You expect this from scoopers? Aiming high, hey?

[tower912]

Dream big.

He got the furthest as a head coach in the NCAA tourney at Marquette. I say we welcome hm back so he knows the pricks aren't at Marquette.

+100

I get some scoopers are basically 5 year-olds at heart, but holding a grudge isn't healthy. Also, maybe be thankful for what he did for MU then be a pissy brat that can't comprehend the fact that Crean doesn't owe any of us sh!t. When we all die, wouldn't we rather all be able to say we did what made us happy in life? He did what made him happy.

Now was I happy about it at the time? No. Would I have wanted him to stay and not be a punk on his way out? Yes.

But eventually you learn to get over the one that got away, and ride with the horse you've got.

Crean did more for Marquette than Chones, anyal?

[augoman]

I don't have a problem that Crean did his job and earned his money.  I was hoping for a change for 2 years before he snuck out on us.  I just wish he had been a man about it.

[4everwarriors]

Augie Man, snakeoil sales dudes never become men, hey?

I'm almost tempted to go to this. Any chance one of the attendees could film it or they'll put it on MU's YouTube channel?

Just go.  It's a little expensive, but it's open bar, so I am sure you can get your money's worth if you really try.

Oh word? I was curious about that. Do you know what we're having for dinner and how long they expect it to last? Hopefully a hoop is up so I can challenge M2N to an NBA trey shooting contest

Pretty sure.  The events at that price point usually are.  And they usually say "cash bar" if it is.

I don't know if the hoops will be up. Even if they are, the table setup will make it a little tough for you to hit attempt treys without having the ball land in KO's entree.
