Billboard on Campus

[Silent Verbal]

I think Wojo was coming back anyway.

I think admin was unaware of the level of animus.

I think the article and billboard are going to cause Wojo, Scholl, and Lovell to dig their heels in.

I expect a declaration of support in order to reassure recruits and to assist on landing transfers.

If they had fired him, fine.   

But they are going to feel they can't now.  I think they are going to feel painted into a corner and won't want to appear bullied.

In Taxi Driver, Travis Bickle says, "Maybe someday a real rain will come down and wash all the scum off these streets."

For Wojo, Scholl, and Lovell, that rain is angry fans, and it's come pouring down on them today.  And it will only get worse after Scholl issues a public show of support.  Which I agree he will.

[cheebs09]

Yup.

Again, the only way a change is made now is if the people with money or leverage want it to happen and are willing to pay and push for it to happen.

Is that really different than before today? I don't think there was much chance he was fired unless a big donation was coming for it. We had some speculation here that the administration didn't really grasp how upset the fans were.

[f/k/a humanlung]

Who slapped that together?  It looks so amateur.

So it's perfectly appropriate for addressing Wojo's coaching.

Lol.  At least Wojo isn't the cop in Reservoir Dogs. 

[Smokin' Jae]

Good for the students who did this.  Won't change Lovell's mind but so what?

Just glad to see some on campus are concerned about the direction of MU bball.

Almost would go to a game next season just to hear the boos Wojo gets

Would not be surprised at all for Lovell to come out publicly in support of Wojo, which will only serve to alienate the fanbase even more

To me this just proves that if a bunch of students are willing to pitch together and buy a billboard that some big money alum would do the same to pay the buyout. The problem is that the administration have not asked them too because they simply have not been around long enough and don't get it.

[connie]

I can see "the admin" being clueless about the level of fan discontent, but isn't that part of Scholl's job?  Isn't he putting the squeeze on athletic donors, and doesn't he hear what they are saying?

[willie warrior]

Well none of then are Fluffy Blue Monsters.  Do something!!  Attack.

He aint doin anything. He is a slurper.

[Uncle Rico]

He aint doin anything. He is a slurper.

He isn't and hasn't been

F*cking weird, dude.

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK OF CINCINNATI?

WHO WAS MOST UPSET WITH THE LOSS TO LOUISVILLE?

"uhhh Steve Novak?"

BESIDES HIM

"uhhhhhh Scott Merrit?"

BESIDES HIM

"uhhhh I don't know man, Tom Crean?"

BESIDES HIM

"Just tell me"

TRAVIS DIENER

"okay"

I still have "What are you going to do about Joe Dumars?" Stuck in my head.  He would always say it at OD's.  Even my kids say it to this day and they never got to see Dumars play until the Last Dance. 

[f/k/a humanlung]

He aint doin anything. He is a slurper.

This isn't accurate.

I have been an MU fan for over 50 years.  I have been a season ticket holder and I am a graduate of Marquette.  Never have I been so ashamed of alleged MU basketball fans.  The anger  and malice directed toward coach wojo is beyond any sense of proportion.  I remember The Dukiet years and there is no comparison between then and now.  While coach wojo has been something of a disappointment,  he certainly does not deserve the lack of respect and indignity shown him in these posts.

You should be embarrassed by your self-serving, egotistical and entitled response to this situation.  No doubt you are not embarrassed as you are so solidly wrapped in you self-righteousness.   Compassion,understanding and respect used to be hall marks of Catholic education and foundational to the Marquette tradition.  I guess that is not so much the case now.  That is not a failure of the basketball program but the failure of the educational system.  Coach wojo has a family, how hurtful your antics mus be to them.  I apologize on your behalf.

If you are successful in your endeavor of unseating coach wojo and your champion should prove no better remember what you have done and fess up to it.  As for coach K exppect he will go somewhere else make some more coin and be successful much like Majerus was.  Good work boys and girls.

This is big time college athletics. Results based industry. Don't cry for the underachieving coach making almost 8 figures in seven seasons.

Coach K?

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Coach K?

My guess was Dodds.

Nobody here has said anything about Wojo's character. In fact it's quite the opposite, he's pretty well respected as a person.

But the man can't coach worth a lick.

Hahahahahah, ok Boomer.

The guy has made close to $10 million to grind an historic college basketball program into dust. If he didn't want to get berated constantly for his awful performance, he should spare us all and QUIT and go retire somewhere with his family and his stolen $10 million.

Wojo has exactly 0 achievements that matter in 7 years. His successor couldn't possibly be worse. Even if a new coach went 0-20 in conference his resume would read the same as Wojo's: perennial loser searching for my first NCAA win.

[Small Orange Soda]

You know who never had to sit through the Dukiet years as a student?  Anyone under 50.  The people who keep bringing him up are kinda proving the point as to how dire it has become.

And if anyone's wondering why people are fed up....

Dukiet: 3 seasons.  Final Season: 13-15.

Deane: 5 seasons.  Final Season: 14-15.

Wojo: 7 seasons.  Unfortunately, not his final season: 13-14.

The AD used to at least be swift about knowing when to cut bait.  95% of this fanbase knows Wojo needs to go and nothing is going to happen.  Seven years of zero tournament wins and zero top 25 finishes, and we're gonna run it back for season eight.  Yeesh.

[MuggsyB]

Marquette hoops fans have shown extraordinary patience the past few years.  Everyone here is on the same side and we all deserve a round of applause if anything.  The sympathy card is honestly ridiculous.  This isn't 1st grade T-Ball.  We have a coach making 2 mill a year.  WTF?  It's called big boy sports and accountability.

15 years to judge muggsy. First year doesn't count, covid year doesn't count, we couldn't possibly judge him the two years after we lost the Hauser's...
