Clearly you are a Wojo apologist and slurper, so of course you liked it.

I am sure most of you knobs had a kid transfer schools or a team...did you have this much angst?

MU was a more talented team with the boys here.  The question is will they be a better team with them gone?  Let's see who steps up.

I believe the team is going to do very well this coming season. Greg and Koby will add an athletic dimension that is needed to compete in our conference.  Brendan and Jamal are also both going to step up and make the most of their enhanced minutes  MU will be a team full of  experienced juniors and seniors . Overall the team chemistry will be enhanced.

The full season results  may not reflect the  teams improvement. This is because The Big East , for the most part, will be stronger. However, I believe MU will be within a couple of games of last years results in both non conference and conference.

I stand by it and look forward to the 2019-2020 season without the selfish traitors

Can you repost what ever was in your manifesto. If not PM it. Thanks .

[The Sultan]

Someone deleted my manifesto!!

So what's the over/under on the number of misspellings, grammatical errors and terrible basketball thoughts that this screed had?

I'm going with 253.

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

Really surprised it was deleted apart from referencing the kielbasa of a former two bit golfer, it was spot on truth.

Which disproves the whole Wojo is the ultimate problem if they were willing to play for him if only someone left. I know that doesn't sync up with some opinions here, but hard not to see it any other way.  Thing is, someone was going to leave and this idea that Wojo could simply make people like each other or all play nice nice is highly unlikely in today's day and age.  It's also why I LOVE that players have to sit out a year to transfer.  The amount of this crap that would be going on if they didn't have to, my God the first time a player went into a pouting spree they would be gone. 

From what I have heard from my Milwaukee peeps / university officials is someone was going no matter. What.  If MH left and Hausers stayed, then others were going.  If MH stayed, Hausers gone but others now stay.  Point of all this, we weren't getting out of this with everyone together and people have got to understand that.  Plenty of blame if people wish to assign it, but staff, department, have moved on.  Going with the folks that are here and excited about it.

I don't really care who the "others" is here, but I'm dang interested in why others would have left had MH gone and Hausers stayed. Playing time? Cohesiveness? Something I can't think of?

They were tired of the drama.

Made up BS. More shoes that will never drop. Fake News.

[jesmu84]

Tired of the drama that came with being on a team with the Hausers? And not an issue with MH or Wojo?

I am sure there were others in the locker room who didn't appreciate Markus' play style and the perceived special treatment he got (going home for the summer, media attention, etc).

I am also sure there were others in the locker room who didn't appreciate the perceived special treatment that Joey got (playing through mistakes, playing despite defensive lapses, etc).

Our players are human beings. I'm sure most of us have begrudged a teammate, coworker, or family member for getting what we perceived as special treatment at some point in our lives.

From what Wojo said about him during his press conference the other week.....and the glowing praise he gave him. If all of that is true  .IT SOUNDS LIKE MARKUS DESERVED IT [Special Treatment!]

Come on now.

If any of you or us who have ever been or played on  sports teams, you know good and well that most of them have guys or gals who warrant, earned, and deserved "special treatment" of varying degrees or for whatever reason or another.

A University such as Marquette which had one Dwyane Wade should understand that...Markus just might be that darn good. So step your game up or get in line. That simple.

End of story!

Oh....I misread the first time...

You said "I am sure". . . so this is speculative then huh? My bad I wrote my first reply as though you knew for sure that others on the team had an issue with Markus' 'special treatment' when that is not the case at all...

You are just assuming. . . ?

Please make that clear. How do you know that? They might then, have very well understood and appreciated Markus style of play and they should have.

THEY WERE WINNING, SO WHAT'S the problem? If it is as you said and you did have others who resented him when his play got them wins, then that was the problem, not Markus.

Winning solves everything. it worked, up until that dissension bubbled over and others got in their feelings who were also in the starting lineup and the season spiraled out of control. . .

[willie warrior]

If you think writing a disgruntled missive challenging the authority of the head coach (where you also enlist/recruit teammates to choose sides) followed by essentially making a demand for a larger share of the spotlight....if you think that's what winning culture is....I pity your employees and/or your employer.

Got nothing to do with thinking ofwriting a disgruntled missive. We do not even know if that is true. Question not answered

It's really becoming tough on this site to tell when someone's really that obtuse or just acting sarcastically aggrieved.

[PuertoRicanNightmare]

I wonder why The Athletic suddenly decided to do a fluff piece on Wojo?

This board has never been dumber.

I am outraged that you said this.
