I don't blame coaches for wanting to "move up," but there is something nice about the guys who realize they already have everything they need where they are and whose egos don't need to prove anything to anybody by going elsewhere.

Bennett and McKillop are great examples, as was Jay Wright, who easily could have gone to a blueblood or the NBA and nobody would have blamed him. Same with Mark Few, who had numerous offers (but not many in recent years, as he turned Gonzaga into a "destination" job).

Guys like these are content where they are, they make plenty of money, they can win a lot, and they don't face the same kind of pressure that blueblood coaches do.

Most of us are hoping we have our Mark Few/Jay Wright right here at Marquette -- a guy who can be content winning big and making good coin at a place he loves without feeling he has to reach for something else. It probably helps that Shaka already reached for that job and ultimately realized it didn't fit him.

Thank you for expanding on coaches who have been happy to stay right where they are. As others have said, If Shaka had not gone to UT before coming to MU, we may have had him earlier but then lost him. Let's hope he is a lifer or at least a long-timer, whatever that means.

I was talking about this with my daughter yesterday, and we agreed that it might turn out that the best thing that happened to MU is for Smart to have taken that Texas job before coming.

Apparently Colorado State University has an inordinately stupid student body.

I had missed that story. Complete lack of class by those students

It doesn’t rise to the same level as the CSU incident, but I wish the MU students could come up with a chant more positive than “FU Butler”.

MU is blowing a lead in crunch time and that’s what they come up with (and not for the first time).?

How about a more supportive chant for your own team? A simple “Lets Go Marquette” would be more appropriate.

ESPN has jumped the shark.  There are 6 games today with both teams ranked.  This isn't one of them.

I'd suggest the 4-letter network jumped the shark decades ago.

I get your point, but....good luck with that. Maybe it's the Tyler Kolek effect.  ;D  Ok, it's been around for a very long time. I don't think "Let's go, Marquette" will do it, but it would be great if Marquette actually took a proactive marketing approach and got the students to come up with something that works. And where is our band during all of this?

I mentioned in another thread that I founded a small manufacturing company and spent an enormous amount of money on top-level marketing, guided by professionals in the business. It worked! MU needs to tap into our student fans much, much better than they have. I have absolutely no patience for crappy or non-existent marketing. It's too easy to blame the students.

Positive or negative, it's just boring. And it's at pretty much every game against every Big East or high major opponent. I don't imagine it will ever change, but it just feels lazy and unoriginal when we hear "FU Butler / FU Nova / FU UConn / F The Badgers."

But of course, this just makes me the old man shaking his fist at clouds when it comes to student section complaints.

I like the FU chant against Bucky and Notre Dame. I roll my eyes when it's used on other teams. I wish there was something more creative as well

His stats are pretty damn good but he can't guard anyone  and.......well....has other issues.

Zags defense just isn’t very good and hasn’t gotten better in league play.

It’s unoriginal but largely harmless.  Much like the dumb Overrated chant when you beat a ranked team.

The CSU stuff was far different. Shades of ASU students chanting PLO at Steve Kerr in the 80s after his father was killed.  Cruel, sadistic, and wholly reprehensible

UNC vs. Duke is still a fun game and always a top billing even when both teams are average.

Scheyer passing tests in his first year and Shaka not passing any yet is very concerning

I'm sure Duke fans are much happier with their results under Scheyer than Marquette fans are the past two years with Smart.

The lone game today to feature a ranked team is #3 Houston at Temple -- rematch of the game a couple weeks ago, when Temple went into Houston and pulled off one of the season's big upsets.

Temple has continued to win and is now 14-9. Houston also has won all its games since, albeit failing to cover against meh UCF, Cinci and Wichita State teams.

Houston is an 11.5-point favorite at Temple.

How lame is it for Indiana fans to storm the court because their team won a regular season game in which they were favored by one point?
I am pretty sure college students like to celebrate.

Looking forward to seeing Scheyer fall on his face in the next couple of years after the aura of Duke and coach k wears off.
