If he’s such an “asset,” why y’all think Homer doesn’t host Shaka’s coaches show any longer? Why do you think he’s been relegated to an hour on local radio?

Exactly. Marquette knows he's toxic and has been moving away. As far as who else, literally anyone could do a better job. He's a mediocre announcer who doesn't have a good familiarity with or ability to explain the modern game, which is why his interviews with Nevada Smith are so painful.

Homer was fine in his day, but that day passed him by about a decade ago which is why Marquette has distanced themselves and why local ESPN has cut back his presence.

I enjoy Homer and Tony on the game call. Sometimes , if there is a lousy TV announcer like Pete Gillen or an ESPN announcer that doesn’t know that Marquette is in Milwaukee not Michigan, I will turn TV audio down and listen to radio

I’m not in Mil. nor do I listen to Homer on the radio broadcast…or show, so, how is he ‘toxic’. Inquiring minds want to know.

Homer and Tony Smith will continue to do Marquette basketball in 2023-24.

Personally, I think that is very good news.

so there you have it...

    i'm not a huge fan of homer's, but whenever i do come across his voice, i do stop and listen for a bit.  he has a unique style of calling MUbb.  i liked him when he was with george and mac of course, but tony is ok too.   

  al mcguire had a few controversial remarks, as did rick majerus and we could go on and on.  if ya don't like homer, you're going to find some stuff.  as this is happening more and more today, you can find just about whatever you want in social media

Glad to hear. Need to separate the MU brand from Homer if we want to keep recruiting talent. He's alienated a lot of folks.

What recruit decided against a scholarship offer from Marquette because he didn't like our radio play-by-play guy? And if "he has alienated a lot of folks", name three?

Data actually shows if you are vaccinated you are more likely to get Covid. Then you have a 99.008 % chance of surviving   Numerous peer-reviewed studies have been published with these findings.

He told me. A friend of mine works at ESPN Milwaukee also told me. It could very well all be one big lie. But I trust what I know.

Could just be the story they are going with. I’m sure they could find another play by play guy somewhere. I don’t think Novak could do it.
