I know for sure you were a holdout on the Wojo bandwagon along with skianth and myself (and some others) and we all took a lot of sh*t for it. He still hasn’t proven anything of his worth. Them’s the facts

Yeah, I thought we had turned a corner this year, but clearly that was the exception to the rule.

Put lavin in there at this point who cares.  Wojo is not a winner


For all the supporters. What is your final straw?   Two more winless tourney appearances?   Miss the tourney next year????   Recruiting violation????

Where does it end and why not now

Simple.  We are back in the tournament, will be again next year.  I expect to be better next year. 

Final straw is when we don’t go to the NCAAs multiple years or NCAA violations.  Until then, looking forward to next year since no one has any real alternatives and just wants to pout today.

On a side note why the hell was the band playing ring out ahoya at the buzzer.   The losing team on a neutral court should go out with a whimper.

Unleash, both Cain and Heldt were DNPs (or did they get in at the end, I stopped paying attention). What a great way to sent off your tear-inducing senior. WTF.

That 2nd half was the worst coached POS I've ever seen.

Depends on his recruiting class for 2020 in all honesty

Ah, there is a real MU fan!!  You show them who is boss.  Don’t support the team, or a top 20 team coming back...let’s get super emotional and cancel those tickets.

I’d call right now.  1-414-288-GOMU

Make sure they know now you are bailing.

That’s the great thing about America Jamie, I can choose how, when, and where I want to spend my money.  I became a season ticket holder in Wojos 2nd year.  I’ve donated, went to every game I could (even the crummy non conference ones) gave my tickets away for free to multiple people in this forum.

If you want to call me a fake fan, or emotional, how about this, f**k you.

I choose not to support 2 million a year for this bs.

Wojo.

He’s not going anywhere.

Yep team looks like crap. But Wojo isn’t going anywhere.
 

You're right, though, I think if next season's team flames out again, the torches and pitch forks will be out and the pressure may be insurmountable.

Stop with the five year nonsense.  We rebuilt the first few years.  Buzzard left a poor team behind.  If you cannot see improvement from last year to this year, then you are blind.

What do I want? A stable program without internet fans wanting a guy fired every 3 years and then wondering why we have no stability.  That’s what I want.

Fun season, major improvement and on to next season with a better roster.  I’ll keep supporting the name in the front of the jersey...thanks

I withheld judgment until year five (5) of the Wojo era is in the books.

They both played.  I guess you turned your back on the team and didn’t watch the end so you could make a point that turned out to be really bad and 100% wrong.  WTF.

I think you are flat out wrong on status of program. It is light years from being prime time.

Listen, everyone knows he's not going to get fired this year, but this was the absolute floor of what this team should have accomplished this year.

If we don't win multiple games in the NCAA tournament next year Wojo needs to be gone.

Worst part is playing Heldt would’ve actually helped. He’s a veteran player who stays home defensively and boxes out. Nice job Woj

Oh, I had the game on but was too deep into my bottle of whisky to make out who was giving up uncontested bunnies under the basket.

Glad he game them some garbage time. But maybe he should have tried something different at, oh I don't know, 17:00 minutes left in the 2nd half when there was still a chance to win the game....

That is correct, and I encourage that free speech and whatever you wish to do. I didn’t realize the $2M was funded by you, but I do appreciate the investment.  You are not a fake fan, passionate like others.  You are balanced, too, which I like.

I mean it, call and cancel them now.  What better time then the present and set the tone I say.  Let them know how you feel.  Why wait?  Seriously, I don’t understand why anyone would wait...stay true to your convictions.

Yeah, Wojo isn't close to being fired. Have to look at the whole season, not just the end.

That being said, no overlooking the sh*t sandwich that was the last 7 games. Raises some huge red flags. Gotta address them over the offseason. Defense was the bugaboo last season and it got fixed over the summer. Let's see what he fixes this offseason.

I do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.

Truth is often times in the middle.

If Howard stays Marquette can be as good or better next year. They would take a big step back without. No word yet on that.

Wojo after 5 years:

2 NCAA appearances, 0 NCAA wins, 2 top 5 regular season league finishes, 0 conference tourney finals. He’s keeping his job but people aren’t thrilled.

Team needs better ball handling, better passing, more lateral quickness at both ends.
