I am. The green horse is new. Does it slurp? How does it slurp or is it slurped? Who does it slurp? Who slurps it? Can it be ridden while slurping or being slurped? The green horse intrigues me as a slurper

The best part of willie constantly using 'slurp' is that he thinks it's clever.

When really, he is probably saying a bit more about himself than he'd care to admit.

Also good questions. I think the green horse should be the new mascot.

I'd have to assume it's a relative of Bluecifer:

That would be a kick ass mascot to rope out at Fiserv. Imagine Adele coming out to coach riding something like that?

If we're gonna use a horse mascot, we should consider Miley Cyrus as coach.

Do you feel we need to take a Wrecking Ball to the program?

What i post is about Wojo-Dukiet most often. And you will never cut it as a psychologist, even an amateur.
For the sake of clarification slurpers drink Wojo-Dukiet kool aid, and can't get enough even after the program has slid way down under the guy.

Thank you for you reasonableness. As a long-time Warrior fan, I really expect Wojo to be back next year.

Let's be realistic. Since Coach McGuire retired following the 1977 NCAA Championship, there have been eight head basketball coaches in 44 years. Of that group, two have been fired, two retired or resigned and three left for other universities. The eighth is Wojo. The average tenure is 5.5 years, which Wojo already has exceeded. In the 44 years, we have fallen from the bluest of bluebloods to what this year was an also-ran in what was a mediocre conference. Only for one year did we sniff anything close to what we expected in Coach McGuire's time.

To fire Wojo now is to go back into the deep hinterlands with, under the best case scenario, a three-year return to where we are now. And, given our track record, we run the risk that this year might be a high point. I'm not sure I'm ready for that yet.

My view is that the program has been mismanaged badly. We had so much and, candidly, still do, going for us. Our reputation was first rate. We're in a usually great conference and our fans have supported us through thick and thin. The ingredients are here to win and the implication of winning is so great for Marquette's future away from basketball and athletics that I can't understand how anyone can tolerate anything but excellence.

That off my chest, Marquette will have Wojo back because we have the foundation for something good, if it is managed correctly (which it wasn't this year). The BOT inevitably will look to such Bluebloods as Duke, Kentucky and Louisville as three examples of teams that floundered this year because of Covid-19 related issues. They'll rationalize that we lost practice early in the season, lost conditioning and drilling last summer and had limited chance to convert the core of our team, Carton, Garcia and Lewis, into top-flite college players. They'll contend that the group we have coming in will augment what's already in place quite well and give Wojo the leash to go recruit high-quality transfers or a JuCo or two.

I've said before and still believe Wojo has a sales job ahead of him this summer. He MUST BE front and center in selling the program to its constituencies -- the fans that buy tickets to the FiServ, the students who need to show up, the alumni who unite around a good program and the administration that, foolheartedly or not, put our fortunes in Wojo's hands. He's going to have to sell us that Marquette has more than fine young men. The sales pitch will be on how good the team can be, what we should expect from our Warriors in 2021-2022 and how we should measure him.

I'm sure Wojo holds the team accountable, to some degree. But the measure this year MUST BE that results matter. You can play well but the nonsense that cost us several games this year MUST STOP. You players either do what you're paid for (yes, they're paid in a barter transaction), or you'll sit. In one regard he's got to do what he never before did in basically benching some hotshot that might think he's above discipline (are you listening, Henry?)

There's not a whole lot of confidence here that any of this will happen. But dammit, I hope I'm wrong because we don't need yet another rebuilding project.

I've seen a million threads about new coaches but I gotta agree with the three years to get back to now given our program status. Is that good? Any coach who is really good will leave anyway.

I don’t think so. I was at MU 2006-2010.

Guessing the Ham-n-Egger was before my time?

’80’s, maybe still there in the 90’s. Debbie could back down Davante any day. She didn’t like the tip, she’d fire it across the dining room.

obviously you were never served by Debbie at the Ham-n-Egger at bar-time.

That was our 2 a.m. (or later) go-to spot senior year.

I'm told that before it was the Ham-n-Egger, it was called "The Buttery." If so, that was before MY time.

I agree that admin does need the green horse. They have been riding it for quite a while.

Why isn’t anyone talking about Jose? I think he’ll be a big time glue guy and contribute major minutes. He showed great promise at the end of the season and the guys all hustle. Maybe the biggest pickup since JFB transferred in. Guys like him make us so much more DANGEROUS. He’s a great player, but a better person. Only down side is he can’t play in NYC.

LOL - Nailed this one...
