Hi friends. I started this thread. I'm excited to see that it has more than 4000 views and is approaching 200 replies. Rocky, please do send that click-based pay to my regular account. I need beer money for this weekend.

The article was soft and easy to read. It is nice to see Wojo finding himself or, at least, who he can be for his family. Even with our frustrations as MU's coach and the fact that he has $9m to relax with, shouldn't we be okay with him finding his way in the world?

Seth is Seth. He is a decent writer and the thread of the story was engaging. That said, is weaknesses at a journalist were shown by his errors.

And, not surprisingly, Scoop is Scoop.

This harping on the article I linked can end, please?

FWIW, I graduated in 1988, so 2 years with Majerus and 2 years with Dukiet. The Wojo years were unfulfilled potential, while my MU years were undeniable decline. Yet, I haven't and won't give up.

Fortunately, we have a different coach now. Hopefully Shaka can continue to build.

spending much of the year near Tucson, I thought FOX reporting on the illegal immigration disaster, sex trafficking, human trafficking, fentanyl smuggling death & destruction along both the AZ & TX borders was legit. Entertainment production? Thx for setting me straight.  We are Marquette!

Weird to make a post that admits you are easily conned, but OK.

Have an inside source.

Wojo has been working out Cincinnati native Tim Schloss, aka “Slick Nick” at BYU. 🏀

I didn't have time to read a full 8 pages of this... but saw some people saying it was untrue that people chanting "fire wojo" at games.   Yes, the story messed it up by calling it out during the pandemic year, but it DEFINITELY took place before that.  The boo'ing, the chants, the twitter hashtags, the signs in dorm windows.  The details aren't quite right, but the message is clear and the story was pointing out that he and his family heard it and felt it and took it personally.   The story really did not make anyone look bad, exept for one small part about some players not giving their all in practice. Was anyone here at those practices who can say that's not true?

This is a humanity story, try to see it from that perspective and let go of your past anger towards Wojo.  He tried, and after many chances, he failed.  Such is life...

Pretty much the bottom line here.  Wojo is human. He failed to meet the expectations he was hired for. He wasn’t totally unsuccessful either. But, his record speaks for itself in terms of those expectations.
