2024 Coaching Carousel

[Viper]

Per capita, according to Yellowstone, living in Montana is FAR more dangerous than living in any major city

[The Sultan]

I don't give a sh!t about DePaul or their coach being "scared". But you're being disingenuous as usual when you give equal weight statistically to guys getting punched in bar fights (down) to guys getting killed (up).

LOL. Who said I was giving them "equal rate?" I'm not the one who moved the goalposts here. Oasis was - and of course you jumped right on because it didn't require you to put together a complex thought.

The entire conversation was about the negative aspect of Chicago being crime. When it is pointed out that the crime rate has actually IMPROVED over the last couple of decades, Oasis and you jump on with a single datapoint about homicides. You can't understand how illogical that is?

[Viper]

Oh. So you cherry-picked one datapoint. Thanks for the confirmation.

And you're lying about your feelings. Pretty obviously.

before this gets locked down, shall we address about you what's obvious to all?

Sure.

[StillAWarrior]

Just to make sure before this gets locked down, shall we address about you what's obvious to all?

Fixed

[lawdog77]

Chicago sucks, but no because of the crime or cost of living.

The pizza is pretty badand food in general are pretty good, though.

FIFY

FIFY

I donno, I found it amusing he called the pizza "pretty".

[wadesworld]

If the only crime (or violent crime) you have to worry about is homicide, then you should feel pretty dang safe just about anywhere in this country.

It's why Marquette needs to move their campus to Fond du Lac, to attract better head coaches.  Bet Billy Donovan would have taken the job had it not been located in Milwaukee

Well, Donovan took the Bulls job despite the crime rate in Chicago being 99.4%.

Yep, 99.4% of the people who step foot in Chicago get gunned down. It's a fact, and it's why the population there is down to 7,449 now.

Crime has always been an issue for major cities.  It's not a new phenomena.  Numbers of crimes reported on has increased through the decades/centuries and number of crimes punished by the law have increased through the decades/centuries.

The one common denominator is poverty.  Poverty in big cities, poverty in small cities.

98% of posters would be permabanned, only an intimate group of circle jerkers would remain. Fluffy would love it.

I'll agree that poverty plays a part...a big part, in crime and crime ridden areas. In addition, we don't punish crime. For example, No bail. Ridiculous. Do you agree that people control their own circumstances? Their own fate, if you will. Life's about choices. Self accountability. Self reliance. Make good decisions. Stay away from bad influence. Put oneself in a position to take advantage of opportunity. Agreed?

[The Lens]

If you're avoiding Chicagio bc of what you have heard about crime --- great more room for me. My family has been downtown 3 times since October and our biggest concern is when can we get back.

My wife and I stayed down there in October + November and had great times each weekend. We're late night people; we're in and out of bars well past midnight.

Then my wife took our two grade school age daughters there for 3 days over break. The only complaint was some stores were so busy they were waiting in line to get in.   

My recommedation, turn off the news, get on the Amtrak and see one of the greatest cities in the world. If you're local to Milwaukee, consider it a blessing that God put you only 90 minutes away from this gem.

We punish crime.  We especially punish certain segments of people committing crime.

Weird take Lenny.  Rough guess there's only about a dozen or so here that routinely enjoy bringing politics and/or their political beliefs into threads.  The rest follow the rules 99% of the time.

We don't punish crime?  We have the fifth highest incarceration rate in the world behind El Salvador, Cuba, Rwanda, and Turkmenistan.

I think we can all agree, the Marquette job would be more appealing if the campus was in Fond du Lac

Seems very racist.

[Newsdreams]

I donno, I found it amusing he called the pizza "pretty".

Is it pretty boy pizza?

That would be awful, I couldn't have fun.

[Uncle Rico]

I heard there is a new message board for Marquette being launched any day now

[rocky_warrior]

Only for assholes.

It will be updated soon I'm sure.

No, no, not that one.  The one those 12 posters or so threatened the mods with
