Frustrating game but we're fine

[tower912]

CONE, not COLE for me.   MU is in the tourney, barring a complete collapse.  Playing for seeding.

COLE vibe is strong in this thread....

It's as if Scholl forgot to ask Wojo for the keys back to the Al and he is going to come back and coach this team for the rest of Feb. 

Lol. Keep pushing that dumb narrative.

Are people not aware that teams ebb and flow throughout a season?  Do people not watch sports? 

Marquette's not as bad as they were yesterday, but not as high as their peak. People engage in way too much recency bias.

[PointWarrior]

Fluffy, you are misreading it.  The COLE are watching and seeing a swoon and running scared to Wojo seasons of past.

Normal posters see what you say - ebbs and flows, and this is a totally different team of players, with a different t coach, and a new season.  I predict a strong finish...

Lol. Keep pushing that dumb narrative.

Attitude means everything.  If you don't want to compete that's not my problem.  I have never gone into any situation in my life where  I've said to myself....I'm doing this with "house money".  Accepting mediocrity is a horrible way to go through life.

My attitude means nothing with how the Marquette men's basketball team is going to play ever

[MuggsyB]

Fan attitude matters as well.  Attitude matters, period.

No, it doesn't

I spend a week in Florida and the team heads south with me. Time to regroup and close out the season.

[MuggsyB]

So let's say you buy yourself a nice rib-eye steak Uncle R or order one at a restaurant.  You go out to your grill, lose focus, and wind up cooking a black brick.  It tastes like death but since you're "playing with house money" are you telling me you still enjoy it?  What a bunch of nonsense.  If fans don't matter then why do people attend sporting events?  Are you telling me home-court means nothing in college hoops?

That analogy doesn't make any sense.  If I'm at a game, I'm cheering.  Doesn't mean they aren't playing with house money right now.

Exactly.  It's time for an eagle-eye focus and refuse to lose attitude.  This team should win out before the BET.

[tower912]

If I cook it, I order a. pizza and move on.  In a restaurant, I have a calm, rational discussion with the server and chalk it up to human error.

If you're freaking alive you're playing with "house money:.  The world is a dangerous place.  I don't like the phrase at all and think it should be put to pasture.

That's ridiculous and overreactive, lol

[tower912]

A fan using 'unacceptable' is unacceptable to me.  We all have our crosses to bear.

You've probably never had a decent meal in your life.

[The Sultan]

I'm going to have an eagle eye focus on Scoop the next few weeks.  That will for sure mean more victories for the Warriors.

Well we should win out.  Unless the players have the attitude that they are playing with house money which has been espoused by some of you.

[tower912]

You've probably never had a decent meal in your life.

And I am sure you have Karen'd some staff.   We all have our crosses to bear.

[Uncle Rico]

Of course, the players and coaches don't think that.  The players and coaches play to win every game.  That's why it doesn't matter what I think about "house money".  They'll keep playing hard and doing everything they can to get better

[MuggsyB]

No, I haven't.  I worked in restaurants from 15 through college.  Stop creating narratives and judging people.

[tower912]

You realize, of course, that you are doing that exact thing.

This is amazing. JTFC.

[MuggsyB]

My reply was to your exact comment.  Did I say something to the effect that I go to restaurants, criticize the food, and am pestiferous and unruly or what have you?  No, I don't think so.  You concocted a scenario and created a narrative out of thin air.
