Creighton

[WhiteTrash]

While everyone knows MU will never be Villanova, could we be as good as Creighton? With the right coach I think we could be as good as Creighton.

Why should we just accept that "MU will never be Villanova"?

Its kind off unfair and goofy to set the bar that high then complain if they dont reach it. Im not saying you do this but others certainly seem to. Its really about the rationality of things. Obviously its possible we could get a jay Wright level coach who wants to stick around. However its ridiculously unlikely so in that sense ppl say we wont become nova

Exactly. Settling for mediocrity.

Or being realistic.

No. You should expect more than where we  are now and expect better than frickin Creighton. Its sad and very telling how far the expectations have fallen. There is no reason MU cant be an upper echelon program.

The thread was clearly meant as a troll. Nobody is expecting to be Creighton. Everyone expects more than where we are now. That's all great. Expecting Nova? Well, have at it. But you're going to continue to be mad and/or sad about MUBB until the day you die then.

Well, except the past 33 years says otherwise...

Don't you mean 43?

MU can be Duke. MU can be Gonzaga. MU has facilities, a heritage, fan base and pays. If a kid cares about academics, MU has that too. Why do fans/alums set expectations low? Let's go get a coach and rock-n-roll. Laugh if you want, but I'm going for Rick Pitino. Are the Jez so pure themselves? Plus, Rock comes cheap. 30-win seasons, thank you.

Even if he wears his whiteout suit?

Great post. Intriguing to think about Slick Rick patrolling the sidelines.

More like 40 years but what kind of logic is that? Good thing the chiefs didnt give up after not winning a super bowl for 50 years.

Intriguing yes, but we'll change our name back to Warriors before that would happen

We were knocking on that door.  Then we messed with Happy. 

All so we could recruit "good kids".

Oops.  Yes.  Long day.

But 33 should also be enough time to realize Marquette  can be very good some years, but probably not "upper echelon"  year after year.  43 years is just stupid long to not realize that.

I agree. No way in hell I could see lightweight Lovell allowing Slick Rick. No way Al McGuire would be allowed to coach MU under this BOT and President.

I hear you Elons, but I don't think there's a program in America who would touch him.

One thing, we would win and win a lot with him, but at what price to programs reputation. But from a pure winning standpoint, it's fun to consider!

Marquette was in the Elite 8
7 years ago.  Before that Final 4 in was it '03?  But our current drought is problematic.

Coming into this season since Coach Wojo became coach we have had a better record in the Big East then Creighton.

Do you think there is a WhiteTrash guy at Creighton Scoop the last few years asking why they haven't been better than MU?

I guess I don't view 10 years between elite 8's as "upper echelon"  - as a PROGRAM (though as proven earlier, my math is bad today).  And that's not just me being down on this year, or on Wojo.  Marquette won a single NC.  Over the history of time, they *should* be a very good - at least top 40 program.  But Since 1977?  That's been about it.  Some very good years.  Many pretty decent.  Some skunks.  I don't think Marquette can be upper echelon (top 15?) consistently.

In agreement RockyWarrior.  We have had some wonderful moments when I was young, but that was so to one spirit that was unique to the world.  We have been good, very good or average in spurts since then.

Marquette needs to cheat more, I totally agree. We need a better bag man.
