I think we win 3 in a row and get demolished in the second round of the BET
agreed. I’m embarrassed to say, but a .500 season sounds ok ‘bout now.
Moron? Maybe. Dork? Possibly. Lost? Definitely.

Not 1 or 2 results though. 8 years is plenty big of sample size to determine Wojo is garbage. Fire Wojo.

Few are arguing with this. Most of us have been calling for him to be canned for some time now, and a few have been saying so for years.

But don't claim to be a Marquette fan and then be disappointed about our alma mater winning at the Dean Dome.

Let's add our Butler game at Hinkle to  the mix. "We won big but so what? The opponent was crap."

 There are alleged Marquette fans here who, if they were alleged Butler fans, would be ridiculing Butler fans for celebrating the win over Nova. "It was one of Nova's worst performances ever and simply a fluke. We are still a crap team just like Marquette!"

I actually feel sorry for people who are incapable of experiencing joy in everyday life. Seriously. It must be exhausting to always look for the negative and always be on the attack, especially about something relatively inconsequential like sports.

Aren't you doing the same thing from the opposite perspective? You have had more than a couple of comments calling people idiots and short sighted if they find any enjoyment in a Marquette win.

I think “short-sighted” and “blissful idiots” are accurate terms for those that are celebrating certain victories this season. But they’re still MU fans - no denial there. I never called anyone “not a Marquette fan” the way 82 has been doing.

So to answer your question - no I haven’t.

I will go with:

@Depaul W
vs. Xavier W

We pass Butler in standings.  Gtown probably loses their next 2 and we likely pass them too.  That means 8 seed, and we'd likely get Gtown or Butler is 8/9 game.  I will give MU a W there.

Then we get Nova!  Joy.  Season over.

Honestly, in terms of having like 2% chance instead of a 0.0000001% chance, we're probably better off losing 1 of these 2 games and hoping Butler beats Creighton next Saturday.  Not a likely scenario.  Looks like 8/9 seed game and a Thur am date with Nova is our prize for a Wednesday W is overwhelmingly likely. 

Not ideal.  But neither was this season.

Actually ... you are an interesting case, 5Cent. You call others idiots for wanting to see our alma mater win, saying that each win prevents the firing of Wojo. But when it's suggested that the REAL way fans can make a difference is by hitting Marquette in the wallet, you say, no, you're can't possibly part with your season tickets.

So it is YOU -- and not a bunch of interwebs schlubs like most of the rest of us -- who is refusing to send a strong signal to Marquette's powers-that-be that they MUST dump Wojo.

I mean, why must they dump Wojo if folks are willing to pay to watch his team play, game after game, month after month, season after season, no matter how bad things get?

So I guess I owe you an apology. You are a big Marquette fan -- and, despite your bellicose words on Scoop, obviously a big Wojo fan, because you keep willingly paying for his contract extension.

Get next season's deposit in now -- all Wojo, all the time!

But you are telling them how they should be fans, no? Seems like fan policing to me.

I think you have it backwards. Whether you do or don’t celebrate doesn’t change whether you are or are not an MU fan. That has always been my stance - never has changed. My opinion is that you are short-sighted and in denial if you are celebrating certain wins (such as Georgetown).

82’s viewpoint is that if you don’t celebrate a meaningless win in a completely lost season you are not an MU fan. You should do some research first.

I believe Scholl and other members of the admin have the responsibility to field a highly competitive program in-line with the tradition of this school (which I think we agree the program is not at), regardless of ticket sales. You’re free to disagree with that notion.

So everyone is fan, but you are an idiot fan unless you see things your way. Sounds like fan policing.

You’re a “blissful idiot” which is another term for someone in denial. Good spin zone.

That's quite the rationale for willingly helping to pay for a contract extension for the coach you loathe.

Careful, big guy. You can get hurt pretty badly trying to twist yourself into a pretzel like that.

So your argument is that putting blissful in front of idiot makes it a compliment? You insult those who disagree with you. Others insult you when they disagree with you. You are both trying to police each other.

Call me crazy but I have been pondering the possibility of a "de facto" champion through the Nova gets a COVID outbreak angle.  Technically we're still alive because of this possibility .  :)

Hey it's a lot cheaper to pay a bunch of Covid sickos to breathe on the other teams than it is to pay Wojo's buyout.

Well, the entire DePaul team is likely immune so maybe MU gets to play them for the BET championships.

1-1 in the final two.

Run to the semis in the BET if we are on Creighton's side. Blowout loss in the 2nd round if we play Nova.
