4everwarriors greatest hits

[The Big East]

Thank you, thank you Rocky for elevating me to Rock Star Status. I would expect nothing else from a fellow MU band alum. You did some homework and dug up my quotes, but neglected a post from about a week ago where I commented that MU wins the next 2 games (OSU, UW). As for last night's game, I had a prior commitment and was only able to watch about 5 minutes at the beginning of the second half. That's when my only post of the game showed up. Props to Woj, staff, and players on a job well done.
Never, and I mean never, make the mistake of questioning my love and allegiance to Marquette University and our basketball program. The University means the world to me and has been at the forefront of my professional and personal growth. I truly cherish the friends I've made on this board and the common bond we share.
Wojo's country club demeanor is not my style, nor are soft players. I prefer alley cat, street fighter types. For the record, I rarely criticize a player. They are, technically not professionals, though the coach is and as such, should be held accountable.  Hopefully, this is the season that we turn the corner. However, I question MU's commitment to the program.
Lastly, for those of you who don't dig my chit, so be it. It happens, hey? You'll never change my mind, nor will I yours. I will ask that each of you keep one fundamental principle in mind, if that's what you truly believe....Hate Has No Home Here, aina?

I agree with this analysis.

Uh oh. You’ve done it now. Rocket may challenge you to a push-up contest! And Keefer will tell you about his 30 mile hike up a mountain while wearing a 50 lb. backpack. Keep in mind, and the meat eaters have come out in flock to confirm, Keefer makes Theo John look like a twig! You’re toast buddy. Toast!

Just curious, do you know how many scoopers are part of the MS? For the record, you might be surprised by the number of the club. In addition, the diversity of the group. What makes it special, multiple people have traveled many hours to break bread with the group. Some traveled a long way to simply to have dinner and meet people they have only known via a ball site.

The pushup line is from our senile president elect.  I would have thought a limousine liberal such as yourself would recognize that line as Joe's bravado.

Keefe does make theo look like a twig, fwiw.

I don’t want to speak for wades, but I don’t give a sh*t.

Funny coming from Fluffy BM, hey?

Many beers early, much bourbon late.

Just a fantastic night. So much fun.

+1 - I haven’t enjoyed an MU win that much since our E8 run. Think we’re really going to enjoy Justin Lewis!

So here's what I got out of this:

rocky: 4ever, you posted some crap.  Any comments?

lots of people: rocky, how dare you pick on 4ever!  You should be better!

4ever:  I barely even watched the game.  But I'm the biggest MU supported ever, don't ever question that!

bma:  I'm back!

meat bros: YEEEAAAHHH!  4ever is our man.

Appreciate the history lesson.  I can only dream of being part of such an elite group of individuals.  Maybe in another life.

The irony went right over his head, Ziggy.

This has been a very entertaining thread.

1. Thank you, Rocky, for your patience.

2. BLM, there’s only one “quality” we are lacking to be part of the meat pullers summit.      Considering those of us who aren’t, it’s pretty easy to figure out what it is.

First, congrats on the win last night. I thought of you immediately after the ball went in the hoop. It was a great win and hopefully a start of something. Not sure if you or the other old guys agree or not, but my whole reason for preaching my stance on here is because I want the "younger" folks to have a long list of memories like last night. We all were spoiled and agree that was a once in lifetime era for MU ball. That said, it does not mean that a new once in a lifetime MU program cannot happen again.

I have celebrated every big MU win for 50 years and proud of that. Beating UW, especially highly ranked Bucky, is always a highlight of a season. It is funny, but the young folks on here often highlight their memories of big MU wins in a similar way to the old guys talking big wins. Have heard about the Vander shots to win games, Novak delivering in the clutch and Dwade taking the boys to the FF and I love hearing all of those stories. Everyone on here wants MU to create a lifelong memories and having a longer lifetime of memories is not a crime.

Sadly, this board has become much more than about MU ball. Politics, covid, BLM and other issues have jaded folks on here. I post on very few topics because I try to only comment on topics I can bring some insight or experience. I soured on here because two topics, outside of MU ball, I could bring insight to saw my comments completely ignored or dismissed. The HK protests and beginning of covid economy are topics I would challenge anyone to a debate on, yet some posters who could not find HK on a map became the experts.

Not that I give a crap, and I do not, but I posted in early Feb on the Covid situation and potential challenges on the economy and it was completely dismissed because "experts" joined the conversation. I used to read non ball topics in attempt to learn something I did not know and have stopped doing so. Too many on here believe they are experts and have no need to learn from others, unless it is something adding positive re-enforcement to their narrative.

I always laugh when idiots on here call me a boomer, because I am not sure I am old enough to be a boomer, but that is what my kids call me whenever I bulk up a little bit or a lot. It has always been a reminder to get on the treadmill or buy bigger pants. I like to think I am one year too young to be a "boomer" and will take that to my grave, but if I am a "boomer" not sure how that should be a negative against me. I truly hope all the young folks have parents that are still alive and they refrain from being negative to them because they have a longer list of memories to share.

Thanks for the shoutout. Your post hits every note - this board sorely misses your insights on MU basketball and the world we inhabit.

Interesting what you “got out of this thread”.

Interesting, too, what you missed.

Lots of people: 4ever is a douche. 4ever is a miserable bastard. 4ever is moronic. 4ever is pathetic. 4ever is an idiot. 4ever actively cheers for MU to lose. 4ever is a tool. Screw 4 ever. Etc., etc.

Probably just a coincidence.

bma:  I'm back!

Not quite. Turns out Juno had the right idea all those years ago.  When a fan forum is actively harming the team you supposedly care about...maybe it is time to shut it down.

That won't happen, so see y'all in 2030 I guess.

Wonder why that would be.

This is a good thread for me to ask...wth does “Aina” mean?

[Galway Eagle]

Example, Galway and I are on opposite spectrums but we have a little something in common and we have pm’d about it and it’s cool.  On the board, I will occasionally engage him, but with a little more respect cuz he seems like a pretty cool dude who just sees things a,little different than I.

Just going to back Rocket up on this and his larger post's general point. The only poster I absolutely disdain and wouldn't ever grab a beer with is Chico's, There's not another poster here, who went to Marquette (Ahem, Guru) I wouldn't grab a beer with and try to understand their take on MU hoops, life, work, etc.

Rocket happy to get you a NA beer at the Landing or the Blue Moon any day (that I'm not hungover)

There is very few folks on here that I would not have a beer with and talk MU ball. Over the years I have met quite a few and every time a laugh was shared. The common thread on here is that we all love MU ball and other stuff is just other stuff to me.
