Hmmm...just thinking about what our opponent's fans must think about your game thread posts.

At least the fans you are talking about are trashing the other team, not their own.

Butler hoops. Sorry don’t have link on my phone. It was around page 7 or 8

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Some dude said Marquette is a mediocre team that is fringe top-25

Some others corrected them but he doubled down using KenPom as the only other metric. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, fans are irrational everywhere and not just on Scoop.

I enjoy how a guy called Marquette a Top 10 team and everyone rags on him since they are only 11.

They are Scoop worthy.

Actually they laid into their entire team.

Me asking “I have no idea where Markus was planning to dribble” on the other hand is not calling they entire team trash.

Maybe next time, dolt.

Just saw that.  Really, really funny.

Yeah there was a strong debate on there about our worth. Later on a few of them gave us our due tho.

The announcing team really broke them too.

Who cares?  Pathetic trolling attempt.

Are you sure you're not Heisy?

I mean the announcing team was terrible so hard to fault them there.

That Pete Gillan or whatever is hilarious to listen to. A beautiful trainwreck.

Butler fans hated how he kept cheering for a Marquette explosion. Which he definitely seemed to be.

See, the funny thing is, I came away from the game thinking "dang they really wanted Butler to win." Eye of the beholder I guess

[TallTitan34]

There's been a few games where I thought the announcers were over the top on Marquette.  I think they gravitate towards the easy story which is Markus.

Before that, Gillen spent several minutes saying over and over again how huge the win would be for Butler, who had a 6 or 8 point lead at the time. I yelled at the TV: "There's 16 minutes left, pal, don't start celebrating for Butler yet."

As for ButlerScoop, I have enough fun with the crazies here (myself included). I don't need to check out other sites' crazies.

It's actually somewhat relieving for me. Knowing scoop isn't the exception in the crazy message board poster department makes scoop not seem completely awful.

If I had a nickel for every time he said "Howard isn't a point guard, he's a pointS guard" I'd have like...a dollar.

Yeah I just remever the explosion part where he kept predicting we’d get hot and seemed to want to be right. I think it was Creighton game where he really seemed to be against us as well.

Guy is a character tho. I’ve heard him for a handful of MU and Minny games. Says outlandish stuff.

He said outlandish stuff when he was a coach, too. He was one of the more quotable coaches out there.

Check out the last post on page 2 of this thread. Butler isn't sending their best and brightest to the message board scene.

Well, I mean, the original post doesn't exactly make Marquette fans look overly intelligent when discussing who Marquette would go after if the position opened up this offseason:

"For Marquette, if Wojo were to leave after the season (hypothetically Duke), my guess would be that MU would look at our current assistants (namely, Stan Johnson and Brett Nelson), Travis Diener and Brian Wardle. I'm sure there would be a big push from fans to somehow get Dwayne Wade and/or Doc Rivers interested, I don't think that would be a very realistic (or wise) path. I think our current admin was incredibly turned off by the pursuit of Shaka Smart (so I doubt they would look to pursue a "name" head coach). Wojo, Buzz, Crean and O'Neill were all assistants before getting hired at Marquette, and I'd imagine a similar path being taken if/when Wojo moves on (whenever that will be - hopefully, not for a very long time!)."

The only two people Marquette would even consider on that list are Stan (who would probably? be the frontrunner) and Wardle.  Nelson is fair enough to mention but I don't think would get an honest look.  But Diener?  The highest level he's coached is like below the Director of Basketball Operations if I remember correctly.  Dwyane Wade?  Literally no coaching experience and going right from playing in the NBA to coaching Marquette?  Doc Rivers?  That might be the most absurd one listed, even with Diener and Wade listed!

A few gems:

#54 - "Sitting in the Marquette season ticket holder section. This is rough" 
(Yeah... too bad MU only has enough season ticket holders to fill one section.)

#106 - "Defense looks good and if you told me we would be up 1 at half I would have jumped all over it. We will see the second half, but I feel good." 
(It's like the Butler version of JayBee, except ignorant).

#125 - "Well this 2nd half is going to be something either way." 
(Thanks, Yogi.)

#149 - "Someone will go on a run, first team to 70 wins."
(Especially when one team doesn't get to 70.)

#175 - "Need to find a big that can jump​" 
(I prefer a big who can Eurostep, bwah haha hahaha hahha hahah ahahahah whoooooo *sigh* yeah.)

#186 - "Up 8. Go get a snack. Down 10." 
(Until now, I always wondered why they had bleachers at Hinkle.)

#213 - "It’s so embarrassing to watch good to mediocre teams beat the absolute brakes off Butler just because they’re on the road when they talked about “Gritty Not Pretty” in the off-season." 
(For the record, the 'good to mediocre" teams typically beat the brakes off the 'sh|tty to embarrassing' teams.)

#220 - "So we foul Johns and they don’t call it" 
(Ummmm.... maybe.... because you're playing Marquette?)

#235 - "Absolutely. It's mathematically ridiculous." 
(Wait for it....)

#246 - "Duh, 11 is 10 now."
(.... and there it is.  Well played, Butler fans.)

#259 - "Neither Howards played their usual game." 
(Sucks for you that the one Howard did.)

#291 - "They are like a poorly trained puppy.... they make you think maybe they are catching on, but then you realize it was just a coincidence that they did what you wanted." 
(Yep... we know that feeling.  It's just like when someone goes to back-to-back championship games so you invite them over to play.)

My favorite was when a troll entered their thread and said " Oh yea MU -6 Easy $$$$"
