lol.  Ol Score 50, give up 52.

What difference did he ever make other than run off Sam? I’ll scan the rafters for all his differences.  lol.

Let me scan those rafters for all of the giant accomplishments the difference making three amigo guards achieved. I mean, they won just as many conference regular season and conference tourney titles as Markus did. But they did make incredible NCAA Tournament runs to the second round twice.

Makes sense.

Markus was probably the worst player in Marquette history.

For one thing, he personally gave up more than 5,000 points during his time at MU, and was personally responsible for us never making the NCAA tournament during those 4 seasons.

An infamous cancer, he also "ran off" Sam, whose offensive prowess was so unleashed at Virginia that he went on to score a whole ppg more there (including his clutch 4-for-16 performance in leading Va to a first-round NCAAT loss to mighty Ohio). Not to mention that Markus "ran off" Joey, who has gone on to true greatness under Sparty's Hall of Fame coach.

No wonder not one other school wanted Markus. He was the pits.

Wow.  A thread about 2022 #mubb hijacked by Markus.  SMDH.

Or was it highjacked by:

We haven’t had a difference maker guard since the 3 Amigos.

Because, you know, neither DJO nor Vander nor Markus was a "difference maker."

DJO and Vander are great examples.  My bad. The Wojo years wrecked me.  I promise to be better.

You're ready to crown Sean Jones the next big thing, but can't even give any respect to MU's all-time leader scorer. Bizarre.

Hilarious.

You may be unaware of the UDRF Lenny?  The Underground Dwarf Rebel Force?  They are not to be trifled with and have the uncanny ability to attack when you least expect it.  There will be no warning and may God have mercy on your soul.

Until reading this I was unaware of the UDRF - thanks for the heads up! I’ll be relocating after I get my new identity and plastic surgery. Until then, I’m wearing shin guards, thigh pads and a cup everywhere I go!

Unfortunately Lenny, once the UDRF has a target, it's nearly impossible for them to show mercy or restraint.  Modern protections are also useless as they possess an arsenal of medieval weapons, combined with futuristic dwarf stuff, that let's just say we do not want them to unleash.  I have a few connections and will see what I can do but there are no guarantees.  You are potentially dealing with relentless dwarf wrath and it could get ugly.  :)

The upgrade in overall athleticism on the MU roster under Shaka will pay dividends.  Wojo's teams were skilled but ultimately not athletic enough to really be able to fully consistently compete/beat Top 20 caliber teams.  One of my favorite Buzz Williams quotes was when he told his DJO team to "F with the Badgers by imposing their physicality and superior athleticism.)

Shaka has this the program on a good path.  I think we are going to play a really fun brand of basketball this year, and in the future under Shaka.  I'm optimistic that this season can potentially exceed last season's surprise performance.  However, I won't lose enthusiasm over where this program is headed should this year not exceed last year's team (so long as it isn't a substantial dropoff from last year's results.)

That's fine. Doesn't hurt to appreciate the newer era's contributions to the program even if you prefer your favorites from 50 years ago.

What difference did Sam ever make other than not win a tournament game at either Marquette or Virginia?  I’ll scan the rafters at both places for all his differences.  lol

Apologize in advance for going off topic, but I had an interesting run in with a smaller citizen (a dwarf, actually) just yesterday.

Driving on the Kennedy in bumper to bumper traffic and (my bad) talking on the phone - so distracted, I rear end the car in front of me. We both pull over to the shoulder and get out of our cars. The dwarf approaches me and loudly says “I’M NOT HAPPY!” “So which one are you, then?”, I replied.


I laughed.

No, hijacked by you bringing Markus into it, because the only reason to post something as ridiculous as you did was to troll someone else into calling out your obviously intentional disregard for Howard. You wanted someone like 82 to point it out so you could smugly (and inaccurately) give your "Score 50, give up 52" line.

Should I scan the rafters for the amigos’ accomplishments too? Because if that’s the standard we are using, they didn’t accomplish much either.

But that’s ridiculous. Much less ridiculous than claiming a consensus first team all American wasn’t a difference maker though.

Damn Giannis. You were right - Bucks shoulda peddled his underachieving arse before the 2020-21 season. Bud, also. And the schmoes, too. They didn’t need anybody!
