MU Basketball Program

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Yeah?  Why?

You're insinuating the entire team is thin-skinned.  That's dumb.  Pretty simple. 

[21Jumpstreet]

Since you brought it up... Theo John painted himself into a corner with his comments at the beginning of the season. I guess what goes around, comes around, hey?

One can either choose to stand with Theo or not. It's fine to choose not to, but Theo certainly isn't to blame for that choice.

[wadesworld]

Don't ask questions you won't like the answers to.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

The team is short on talent and certainly short on coaching but I haven't seen any evidence of the guys quitting.  Sometimes we forget this season, Covid included, has been tough and frustrating on them as well. 

[MuggsyB]

I didnt think the fan's comment was nasty in any way. Theo's comment was uncalled for and makes him look like a martyr. I get it, he plays hard and probably takes it to heart, but not a good idea to alleniate your fans at any level

Maybe nasty isn't the right word but I thought it was unnecessary.  But you're right, Theo's comment looks bad.

Yes definitely unneccessary. Sad that it has gotten to this point.

Yet you're still here.  Amazing.

but to reply as he did? Really? Weak sauce.

Perhaps. I don't find anything wrong with Theo's or the other guy's comments. Theo is frustrated, we ALL understand that. Theo is one of us and has never given a half hearted effort. He has never shown a single moment that he doesn't care. If I were him, I'd probably feel a little rubbed, too. He has earned the benefit of the doubt, especially from us, and some room to be an early 20 something year old. It has nothing to do with what Theo said at the beginning of the year. That is the weak sauce.

The irony of Scoopers calling Wojo and the team thin skinned and then being offended by Theo's Tweet is rich.

Going 18 for 60 isn't going to win you many games.
Cain 3 of 13.
Dawson 0 for 6.

Could not agree more.

They are so very fragile.

4ever and his shtick is really getting old here.

And honestly a lot of this boomer schtick is. 18-22 Year old kids can be more than just athletes. Their stance on politics have zero impact on the results on the court.

Happy to expound more if anyone cares to disagree but the attitude from this board toward a great group of kids (OUTSIDE OF BASKETBALL) is disgusting.

Comment away on basektball. Outside of that, STFU.

Theo has for four years represented Marquette far better than a lot of scoopers.

"Good for you"

[Badgerhater]

MU has recruited some fine people to the program, it is criminal to have their talents wasted under this coach.

I'm not "offended" by Theo's tweet.  I just think it was really stupid for him reply to some random fan's thoughtless "who even cares" comment.  This is big time college basketball, and I'm sure these guys are told time and again not to engage with fans in such a manner on social media.  As a senior leader, Theo should know better.  All he's doing is bringing more negative attention to an already bad situation.  It's not a great look for the program.

Outside of Chico, you have been Wojo's biggest acolyte on this board for years, and were a big time jerk to anyone who dared question his greatness.  And now that there is absolutely zero to be positive about in terms of Wojo, your only move is to criticize posters whose opinions you disagree with, probably because you're feeling salty about being so wrong in regards to all that "we got our guy" stuff.  Very soon, maybe in the next month but *definitely* sometime between now and March 2022, Wojo will no longer be our coach.  It was a bad hire, and it just didn't work out.  And when he's gone, I'm not sure how you're going to handle it.  My guess is you'll head to Kohl's and buy up all the red you possibly can.

I see Mrs Carton chimed in. She's all class isn't she?  She's the one incredibly thin skinned and then attacks a guy trying to keep things civil.

Actually this is an 18-22 young man first. Perhaps as a senior leader he is standing up for his team. He is an outstanding young man and representative of MU. He is not bringing any negative attention to the situation, other people are choosing to make it negative. Perhaps that's where the "not a good look" should be focused.

She really needs to stop responding.  It doesn't look good at all.

Exactly,  not offended either, just saying it's not a good look, but at the same time I understand the frustration.
