Missing Scoopers?
« on: January 12, 2020, 11:12:55 AM »
Has anyone done a welfare check on:

TAMU
MU82
Wadesworld
Tower912


The board could use some of your positivity in this currently grim time.

I think you’re being a little rough on TAMU and maybe even 82. Their eyes have been wide open for awhile.

Projos often rag on posters who only show up after losses, but there are also some high volume Wojo guys who stay away when we’re not winning.  And when we do win, the first thing they’ll say is, “Where are all the Wojo haters now?”  Sometimes I think people like Wojo more than they like the program, or at least that their desire to be right about him trumps any happiness over the actual success of a win.

Maybe look harder?

Glad the posters who find glee in Marquette basketball losing are able to do so though. Happy for you that your 2020 is going so well.

Not being rough on them. Legitimately wondering where they are as they are among Scoop’s most prolific and longstanding contributors.  I wouldn’t mind getting their takes and sales pitch as it relates to having a more positive outlook on the state of the program.

Sometimes things in life are more fulfilling or important than coming here to rehash the same old with a lot of typed words in an internet pissing sword fight, especially with posters with the multiple handles. 82 and Wades were on yesterday. Wades has a name change.

My bad. Didn’t realize you changed your name, and I don’t visit SuperBar topics often. Feel free to weigh back in on actual games, rotations, etc.

Good idea on the name change. We need Mane quite badly!  As Cheeks has told us, it’s a guards game, and would be very helpful to add a stud like Mane to help offset loss of Markus.

I didn’t call them that. They don’t usually have strong opinions one way or another. They along with 82 generally choose to take an optimistic outlook. Just wondering where their current mindset is at this time.

TAMU is a good poster and realistic. He has given Wojo a lot of rope, but he is a good fan.

MU82 is optimistic in a good way. Again, 90% of the time no problem with Mike, in regards to ball opinion.

It does seem like some of the more projo posters have gone more silent recently. Maybe...just maybe, they are starting to see things for what they are and what some of us saw years ago. Reality sucks, but this is where we are unfortunately.

Regardless of what Pro/No Jo, he will be the coach next year. Accept it and move on. No one is letting Dawson, Lewis and Osa and potentially Mane get away.

I would assume the Projos are avoiding the cesspool.

Dr. Lovell was one of the Eucharistic Ministers at mass this morning.  I thought a fire WOJO during a lull in the signing was appropriate but the wife said no.  Opportunity lost I think.

I would take a wager that he is not the coach next season. New jobs are job security, losing in year seven is not. If he ever got fired from MU he is an assistant for rest of career.
He has a chance to set his family up for life if he can hack another 6-8 years as a HC and should be on his mind.

One of the main points I try to make.

People who post after a win to discuss the game, and critique the good and the bad are not equivalent to those who post after a loss and do nothing but trash the coach and players( many of whom are playing through injury no less ).

If he lands Mane, highly doubt he would leave on his own, even if we miss NCAA tournament, and no way I see MU letting him go.  Ultimately, Wojo isn't a quick study, but he is a grinder, and the hope would that after 6 years and seeing how letting one player be ball dominant is a formula for disaster - he'll become a better coach.  This is the best we can hope for..and it is possible.

Does every response on Scoop now need to be categorized as either a pro-Wojo or anti-Wojo? 

Other than the Providence result, every game has gone the way it was projected to (I would have thought we would have lost to Nova and beat Providence).

I’m not a betting man but I’d take that action.
