Because it is a poor representation of the fan base.
It’s a poor representation of them as individuals maybe. Although I wouldn’t even go that far. Fans are emotional

Yeah. My post wasn’t even specifically directed at you. There are several on posting rampages attacking the “negative” posters instead of enjoying the win. Weird to me

Cool. Get over it. They’re fans. Everyone has them. It’s getting more irritating on here having a separate group of fans telling the other ones not to be mad.

For someone who often tries to stay above it all, you really can’t resist making these small swipes at your perceived antagonizers, can you?

I mean I could care less.

If you could care less, then you're not trying hard enough, and potentially care too much.

I couldn't care less about that though.

Busted. Is I could care less the same as I could give two sh*ts? I need to work on that

So why can’t you comment on wins?  Do you think this board exists only to complain?

I do comment on them, but they don't "wow" me like they do a lot of you. I expect them to win games...not all of them, but a lot of them. Tonight's win was magnificent, and probably the best win in the Wojo era, I stated that in the game thread...that good enough for you almighty one??

Warriors! Brothers (and Chick, Mom, and Jutwa)! Now is not the time for this. We are all Marquette fans. We show our love in different ways. Some prefer to share their disappointment, others their joy. Neither is the better fan, just a different fan. Sure I get annoyed at it too but now is the time to celebrate! For we thought our team died upon Markus' hip! Instead, they rose again the next half! Now is a time for all Scoop brethren (and Chick, Mom, and Jutwa) to come together in celebration.

Nonsense, TAMU. You are one of the better ones.

I like the attempts at unity, though. Thanks.

A measured, rational, thoughtful perspective. Thanks TAMU. Well done as usual

Some of you guys are totally consumed by what you view as other’s “negativity”. I’ve read more posts calling out “trolls” than I’ve read about the actual game! Kinda funny

I don’t think it’s trolling. I think it’s being a whiny b!tch. Which is also kinda funny. The comedy is the only reason I kept reading the game thread.

Was really embarrassing. Some people should maybe try to find a different outlet for their frustrations.

There are a handful of posters (trolls) that have multiple accounts, they log in and out of switching between names when they thing enough people have put them on ignore.  Quite sad.

Uh...what?
what? Here’s what... people comment on the unexpected. Many expect us to play well and win. It’s noteworthy when expectations are not met.

I didn't post in that thread, but MU looked so horrendous through ~25 minutes of play, enough to very much doubt not just the next ~5 games, but the next 35.   

The final 15 minutes was miraculous.
Totally agree.  And Scoop is tame compared to the Blue Jay board.  Great job all around--players and coaches changed it up and pulled off a great win.

Well that's just strange.  Unexpected things only happen when they lose?  There was unexpected things in last night's game.  The switch to zone.  Sacar's game.

But people in the game threads just bitch when things are going bad.

The concept isn't hard to grasp.  The oddness of it is.

Well said, brother TAMU. Fans deal with in game up and downs differently but we should celebrate or commiserate together once the game is over. Those "embarrassed" by their fellow MU fans might want to instead reflect on all the embarrassing things they themselves have posted in the past - I won't hold my breath, though!

Great win last night.  Quality win, quadrant 1 win, on the road, hostile environment, down 16, #1 scorer with brutal injury, nothing is looking good for 25 minutes, WIN that gives hope for 2018 and 2019.  Unexpected and really fun.

But people have gone equally over-board on this win than any loss.  It's one game, one shining moment for the team and coach in a season full of performances that make MU worthy of their 6-8 record. 

Welcome aboard the MU Scoop roller-coaster.  Admission is two beef n cheddars.

I'm good.  You should look in a mirror however.
