Wojo's seat

[MU82]

I'm sure this is mostly just tongue in cheek, but let's not oversell a win over a small mid-major at home. This was a great performance with a lot of positives, but we should be expected to win this kind of game at home. Not trying to be a downer here or nit pick the game, but tonight isn't the kind of W that makes a difference for a coach's standing. This one isn't going on a t-shirt any time soon.... right?

You're right, Debbie Downer. But it wouldn't kill you to acknowledge that our coach did his job well tonight.

He did. Game plan was good, defensive focus was good, the attitude and feel of the team tonight was as good as we've seen this year. This is a good win against a tournament-caliber team, and Wojo gets credit for that. I hope we get to see more of this at home for the rest of the year. This was a great performance.

Im on board with this..great job tonight. That being said..where was this against Georgia? I hope this kind of coaching/performance becomes a trend for the rest of the year..especially at home.

What I find ironic is Wojo, who was a point guard, has trouble recruiting point guards.

The new arena will not see an increase in attendance. Someone who wants to see the new arena needs to go to only one game to do that and there are a lot more buck's games than MU games to choose from.

I SAID IT BEFORE...MU SHOULD GO BACK TO THE PANTHER ARENA AND MOVE UWM OUT OF THERE... The ole' Arena would be an absolute PIT, it would rival Cameron Indoor Stadium II....

It will never happen, but man I wish it would. Man would that be absolutely great! A college team who could fill out that arena every night and those who can't make it there...just show the game on a big screen at 'the AL' if possible for fans to watch as well...

Send Panthers back to Klotschke...no offense but they do not draw well enough to be there.

Terrible idea for revenue, wasted opportunity to have much better facilities in the new arena and a big screen at the Al? Yeah who wouldn't want to sit in uncomfortable stadium chairs for a regular season game at a place that doesn't serve alcohol.

[MU82]

I actually like the idea of a more intimate arena, maybe even one owned by the university itself. It would be packed every night, and when we get great again there would be a waiting list for season tickets. But we'd want it to have all the whistles and bells, like any modern arena. And a couple times a year, you could move big games to Bradley Center.

Maybe this was even considered before MU built the Al? I don't know the history of that decision. Obviously, a bigger, MECCA-sized on-campus arena is never gonna happen.

Like ND should beat Ball State at home, hey?

ND Sucks!

I think the biggest problem is if you have 5 games at the Silk Exotic Entertainment Center, that leaves maybe 14 games at the Tom Crean "Grass Isn't Greener" Arena. What do we do with it the other 351 days of the year?

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

So did Wojos seat heat up during the first half last night and then cool back down late in the second half??

Marquette would need to work it so that the Mecca and Bradley center close when the new stadium is built. The Marquette stadium would take on the Admirals, the UWM Panthers, and all the other events that flow through the Mecca currently. You could also make the Al a true practice facility and move the women's bball team and the volleyball team to Wild Arena.

A lot of pieces would need to fall into place and it is probably never going to happen for various reasons, but I don't think it's the impossiblity that many think it to be.

UWM has enough pride that it would never play in an arena called the Marquette Arena

You progressives sure enjoy spending other people's money.

Long term it would pay for itself!

Isn't that what you conservatives say when you want to spend other people's money?

[Avenue Commons]

Wojo's seat is as cold as Milwaukee in December.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

I know....but do they?

And it wouldn't be called Marquette Arena some company will get naming rights. I'm assuming Silk will make a big push after Foxconn outbids them for the new Bucks arena

Wojo's seat is the same temp as it was three months ago. Nice win by the fella's last night. The young guys looked good and I think Cain and Elliott can develop into nice players.
