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.

You think you deserve a round of applause??  For what?

Dealing with utter misery.

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.

Be honest, if the team went 5 and 20 but had upstanding and respectful young men, would you rather that than a team that won a conference title and a S16 but had a player suspended for fighting? Or for, gasp, marijuana?  "Somewhat disappointing"...I'd hate to see what truly disappointing was.

You think you deserve a round of applause??  For what?

Wtf?  Nobody is asking for a round of applause, but acting like any frustration or disgust with Wojo and the program is premature or baseless is equally silly.  The dude was saying we should be ashamed of being disgusted and angry with Wojo and his performance.

Nah, poster used full sentences...no ellipses....couldn't be Dodds....not sure he could break that habit...

What...makes...you...say...that?

I've been a fan for 25.  Would like to enjoy the next 25 cheering for a team with a coach who knows what he is doing.

Unironically the best troll post this site has ever seen. Bravo

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.

The difference is night and day.  Dukiet coached in the MCC and I was at the media day in the fall of 1988 when Dukiet had one player on scholarship who was D3 level and the only recruit he signed that fall was in for an official visit and never saw time at Marquette and had limited minutes at a lower level D1 program after he transferred.

I understand if people are frustrated, but some of this stuff is getting out of control.

I don't think it was probably the wisest to make the billboard. Hurts the brand of the program since now we have "crazy" fans. I do hope this doesn't push any players to transfer.

Marquette has been mediocre/bad for a long time in a top conference with Wojo.

Marquette was bad in a mid major conference with Dukiet.

The fact that there are parallels is an indictment.

They really aren't parallels. That's Ted's point.

And that was his last year.  The admin admitted they blew it and didn't even allow Dukiet five years to be judged.  It was a terrible hire.

It's time for Wojo's tenure to come to an end as well, but it won't.  Fiserv is gonna be ugly next year.  That's the choice this administration is making.

[panda]

So Wojo would do better if he went back in time and replaced Dukiet in the same situation?

[The Sultan]

Undoubtedly. Dukiet was a truly terrible coach and the basketball situation was much worse.

[rocky_warrior]

I actually have a theory that if Wojo was cutting his teeth occasionally winning in a mid-major conference people would be here touting him as a potential replacement.  But hey, that's where we are.  "Any guy off the street" could do a better job I've heard.

[Small Orange Soda]

They really aren't parallels. That's Ted's point.

Did 90% of the fanbase really believe it was time for Dukiet to go after his second year?

Say hello to Steve for us!

What are you upset with me about?  The fact that I said we should all be applauded?  That was in jest my friend.  Do you think I literally believe that?  The point is we have been patient.  Very patient.

[Viper]

I appreciate the passion.  I really do.  But just like riots in Kenosha didn't affect the police and storming the capitol didn't change the election, a billboard and blogs aren't going to change the Wojo's job status.

They can be point of discussion, but in the end Wojo has to win next year to get fans back on his side.  And for those that say "that wouldn't be enough!" - yes it would.  Will he do it, we'll see.

those are your best analogies?

I'm not upset. I was just wondering what you meant as I found it a very odd thing to say.

[rocky_warrior]

Lol, you compared Wojo to a low level salesman the other day:

MU fans are essentially "rioting" right now, and I don't expect anything to come from it.  Sorry if my analogies made the point go over your head.

[MuggsyB]

That's fair.  I write odd things sometimes.  I didn't literally mean we should be applauded as fans.  My bad and no hard feelings.

WOJO--Not Quite as Bad as Dukiet!  I think we have a new billboard.

Rioting virtually mind you.  Super effective it is not likely to be.

Dude of course not. Keep writing you are providing a lot of content.
