What are some things you've been wrong about that stand out in your mind in hindsight? A few of mine

*I thought Buzz was a horrendous coach after the Dayton loss his first year. The team looked awful and I thought it was going to unravel. I was very glad to be wrong.

*I thought Jamail Jones and Erik Williams were a slam dunk NBA prospects. Even worried about them leaving early before they got to MU. I was very, very wrong (much to my chagrin).

*I thought Reggie Bush was going to be a first ballot hall of famer and it was insane that he didn't go #1 overall. Not even close.

*I thought Josh Allen was going to be a colossal bust, one of the all-time funniest top QB picks. Wrong.

I thought Porter Moser and Dennis Gates were the best candidates to replace Wojo. Now that Shaka is on board at MU, I hope to look back and laugh at myself like I do at the stuff above!

I thought Wojo would be a great defensive coach and have gritty teams.

I’ll tell you when my wife calls back. It will be a long post.

I thought Reggie Smith was going to do great things at Marquette

For many of us, including me, it would take us less time to say what we were right about!

I never thought Vander would ever be anything other than a defensive player. Glad is junior season proved me wrong.

I got "Chaos" confused with "Havoc".

Never thought Josh Allen would be a great QB with his historically low completion percentages throughout high school and college. This past year, his highest completion percentage was.....in the NFL. That's almost unheard of.

I thought all those crazy posts would have lasted until dinner.

I was wrong for thinking I could avoid moderating during NCAA games.

If you had a good post disappear, apologies.

MU82 · « **Reply #11 on:** March 27, 2021, 03:52:02 PM »

I admit it ... I thought Wojo would get it done.

I thought Joey would be a stud. I thought the Panthers would win SB 50 easily. I thought Disney stock would be down for years due to the pandemic.

(Oh, and thank you, rocky.)

Farley36 · « **Reply #12 on:** March 27, 2021, 03:52:22 PM »

Wojo would be back next year.

Knows everything and is never wrong.

Oh wait, I thought this thread was things TAMU was wrong about.

You probably shouldn’t leave

That's DEFINITELY something you're NOT wrong about, Unk!

That's funny. Go back and read my posts. There was a caveat I posted about repeatedly. It happened

If a man is walking in a forest, and says something, is he still wrong if there's no woman there to hear it?

Juan Anderson's Mixtape · « **Reply #17 on:** March 27, 2021, 04:18:45 PM »

I thought Juan Anderson would be an NBA player based on his mix tape.

Then, after his Marquette career ended, I thought he would have zero chance of ever playing in the NBA.

Same!

I didn't think MU admin would pull the trigger.

I thought Izzo would get more out of Joey.

I thought Tiger would never win another major.

Has your wife been married before? I might know her.

1) I never thought Marquette would fire Wojo.

2) I thought the 2003 game against Kentucky would be a blowout ........ by Kentucky.

3) I thought we would vigorously defend our 1977 Natty in the 1978 NCAA.

4) The Chicago Bears would find a quarterback by now.

5) Wojo was a good hire.

6) Theo would dominate.

I thought Jalen Rose, Chris Webber and Juwan Howard were "thugs".

I thought Joe Fulce was a better recruit than Jimmy Butler

I thought Rod Grosse would gain weight

I thought Krunti Hester was a solid recruit

I thought Joey Hauser would go pro after his Sophomore year.

I thought Howard would drop 60 in a game

After a month away from Scoop I thought it would be a good idea to take a peek...

I wasn't on the Joey "Baby" Hauser bandwagon.

My prediction was that Brendan Bailey, would outperform Baby by his junior season, and be the team's leading scorer.
