Things You've Been Wrong About

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

I've made my share of bad predictions over the years.

I thought Chartouney was the missing link we needed

I didn't think he would be a "difference maker" or whatever word was used to describe him, but I thought Froling would be a lot better than he was

In my younger days I called for Buzz to be fired after losing a late lead to Georgetown. We earned a 6 seed that year IIRC

In the days leading up to Hausergate I described the riff between Wojo/Markus and the Hausers as "making a mountain out of a molehill"

I thought Markus would get drafted

I thought Danny Manning was a good candidate for our job back in 2014

In my really younger days I thought margarine was superior to butter

I pronounced queue as quay until college

I described Bouknight and Nate Waston as overrated prior to the start of this season

[Not A Serious Person]

I thought Apple was a sell at $95

[tower912]

I thought Apple was a sell at $95

LOL

[JWags85]

I pronounced queue as quay until college

I have a good friend who was an honor student in college, with a great job and 4 kids, who pronounced “pseudo” as “sway-doe” well into his late 20s cause “that’s how it looked” and it was a hard habit to break.

He also nearly got pummeled by a MLB on our football team when we were 19 cause he was excitedly talking to the player, while inebriated, about a play he made the last weekend and pronouncing his last name “B-you-sing” instead of the proper “bee-sing” for the same reason as above and Busing thought he was mocking him

I thought Apple was a sell at $95

I sold Square at 80 last year. Still made 100%...but damn.

[wisblue]

With all of their age and experience, and returning everyone from a team that shared the B10 title last year, I thought Wisconsin would be a top 10 team and one of the top teams in the Big 10 this season.

[Herman Cain]

I thought Henry would love MU, stay all four years, and lead us to a Natty.


 



 

[TallTitan34]

I thought Cheatham would break the scoring record...

...and everything in Retire0’s signature.

[SWARM!]

I thought Henry would love MU, stay all four years, and lead us to a Natty.

Jesus, Herman. Save this for the professional-patient confidentiality situation.

[Shaka Flocka Flame]

1. Ed Morrow would be real good in a Marquette uniform.

2. Wisconsin would never make it to a final four with their slow pace of play.

3. Buzz would never leave us

[fjm]

I thought Apple was a sell at $95

Man. Haha. That one hurts. Woof.

[fjm]

I thought Wojo was the guy.

I was convinced Wade was coming back for one more year.

[Small Orange Soda]

Thought Jimmy Butler was a role player after his sophomore year.

[MU82]

I thought Apple was a sell at $95

I think it was $90, Smuggles.

And that was two splits ago, too, IIRC.

But I give you props for showing some nice self-deprecating humor there, my friend.

And I'm glad I bought more instead of selling!

[Farley36]

I thought Jon Snow was going to end up on the Iron Throne.

I also thought Clay Aiken was going to beat Reuben Studdard in season 2 of American Idol.

Finally I was certain New Coke and Crystal Pepsi were sure fire hits.

[MU82]

Thought Jimmy Butler was a role player after his sophomore year.

I can't remember if I thought that, but I do know that I thought he'd be a role player at best in the NBA.

[Dickthedribbler]

At the end of the 1982-83 season when Doc Rivers left Marquette early to enter the NBA draft, I told everyone who would listen, that it was a terrible mistake and that he'd never be more than a journeyman NBA player.

I really nailed that sucker, didn't I.

[Miss Katie’s]

I thought the Brewers would win the ‘82 World Series.  And that the Cubs wouldn’t win one in my lifetime. 

[🏀]

I thought Cheatham would break the scoring record...

...and everything in Retire0’s signature.

Sup?

[PointWarrior]

I thought at one time Dodd’s board had actual good MU information and he was not a shrill for the administration.

[pbiflyer]

So many. Recent one, proclaimed after the NCAA debacle against Murray State that Ja Morant would be a huge bust in the NBA, that we made him look far better than he was.

[dgies9156]

I thought the Brewers would win the ‘82 World Series.  And that the Cubs wouldn’t win one in my lifetime.

I knew better on the first one and am confident we have about 100 years before the second one happens again.

[willie warrior]

I thought MU admin did not have the balls to pull the trigger on Wojo.

I thought Wojo might get the job done up until Hausergate. That did it for me.

I thought Msjerus would be a good coach at MU. He ended up a great coach for other schools.

I thought Moser was the #1 choice for MU. Think he will be outstanding wherever he goes.

I thought Duane Wilson would be a great one at MU after his 1st year. Great kid don't know what happened there

I thought O'Neil would be at MU for a long time

I did not see Shaka as a reasonable blip on MUs radar. Glad he was.

Never realized how great a player DADE was until Ky. Game

[MU82]

So many. Recent one, proclaimed after the NCAA debacle against Murray State that Ja Morant would be a huge bust in the NBA, that we made him look far better than he was.

He owes Wojo big-time!

[brewcity77]

• I thought the step up to the Big East would be too much coming off those NIT berths and expected us to generally be a bottom half team in 2005.
• I thought Buzz would stick here.
• I thought Henry Ellenson would stick in the NBA as a poor man's Kevin Love.
• I thought Joe Chartouny would be the missing link to unlock our 2019 potential.
• I thought Wojo would be here in 2021-22, even as I was writing my parts of the Case Against article.
• I thought Goodman was drunk when the first name out of his mouth was Shaka after our job opened. I felt like him and Oats (the second name) were unattainable dreams.

There's so much more...just ask my wife.
