When it comes to Marquette basketball, guru, you are NOT competitive. Until you take the court, you are just an observer. That is not a competitive role. You may be so in pickup basketball, Monopoly, or Fortnite, but you are not competitive in regards to Marquette basketball. Period.

Alright, you see it however you want it. Tell you what then, let's make a deal..I will stop posting here altogether if one simple thing occurs : PEOPLE STOP SAYING "WE" when it comes to MU BB. Please, as much as I am not part of the team(according to you), then nor is anyone else here, so DO NOT say WE. Huge pet peeve of mine. WE implies you play on the team.

You are speculating. You do not know a thing about what goes on or why I consider myself "competitive" as a "fan". If you don't deal with Badger fans on a regular basis then you wouldn't understand...but that is only part of it. I will leave it at that.

Disagree. "We" refers to members of the Marquette community. It includes the alums, boosters, students, and season ticket holders.

Nor exactly true.  When I asked you this, you stated that you were "competing" by being in the stands cheering.  I would hazard that no one, other than you, would define sitting in the stands as "competing".

Please, as much as I am not part of the team(according to you), then nor is anyone else here, so DO NOT say WE. Huge pet peeve of mine. WE implies you play on the team.

First, I don't want you to stop posting on Scoop. When you're not acting crazy and/or boasting about your superiority, you add value to the board.

Second, what do you chant? "They are (clap, clap) Mar-quette!"?

I attended Marquette. I am a part of Marquette and it is a part of me. I still say "we" when I talk about the school, period, not even just the basketball team.

And even those who didn't go to Marquette, they can feel a part of the overall community or the basketball community. I didn't play for the Carolina Panthers, but I still often say "we" ... and it's a pet peeve of mine that some yahoos are so easily outraged that they have that as a pet peeve of theirs.

It's what fans do. Except, I guess, superior ones such as yourself. Don't take it out on us that you don't feel like you are part of the community.

So I won't stop calling MU "we." But from now on, though, I do promise to chant:

"We are (clap, clap) Mar-quette! Except guru! We are (clap, clap) Mar-quette! Except guru!"

OK? Feel better?

From having ties to the University..I get that, saying "we"..you attended school there..in saying "we" in reference to the basketball team..unless you play on the team, or..wait for it somehow affect the outcome(which can't be possible as so many here say) then I don't like the word "we". Maybe if I was an alum i'd understand it more..but that doesn't excuse the one's that do it for pro sports.

I mean if the term "we" is acceptable..that implies we are part of the team in some way..but I have been told repeatedly..I'm not. I'm a season ticket holder..does that count? Im so confused.  8-)

No, it implies we are part of the university.

There, hopefully you are no longer confused.

And so the thinking goes, the basketball team is part of the University, therefore "we" is acceptable in reference to the basketball team?? Just trying to understand.

Very random, but, ...few coaches do a better job of saying we and our than Jay Wright. It is always our team with him and not my team. It’s a small thing that I wish more coaches did.

Absolutely. I have been a Marquette fan since childhood but did not attend Marquette until graduate school.

Please always continue to refer to MU as We. You are a huge fan and love the team. That is " We Worthy" in my book.

Eh, I don't necessarily disagree with your basic point that "we" aren't in the basketball program.  I tend to shy away from using "we" but do admittedly sometimes use it, as it just flows easier than always saying "MU" or "Marquette"

"We need to get a stop here" is a little easier than "Marquette needs to get a stop here."

YMMV, but doesn't seem like something to get your knickers in a twist about.

Let's review shall we?? Pomeroy had it 66-65 UW. A 1 point WISCONSIN win. Guru Had it...72-64 MSU. An 8 point MSU win. The ACTUAL score was...67-59 MSU WIN. Huh, Imagine that. DEAD on. I think we are now done here...I  won this thread, yes?? My point has been made..game, set, match...Guru.

 I will say something like 72-64 MSU.

This is so pointless to keep arguing with him. He only picks the game that fits his narrative.
