Marquette/Indiana Finalizing Agreement

[wadesworld]

Yeah, assuming no bad weather this will give a good excuse to visit the in laws and catch a high level game.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Very annoyed it will conflict with football but still planning on going. 

[Shooter McGavin]

I'll have a group of 20 going.  There will be enough of us interested. IU fans will be excited about their new coach as well.  The game will be a sellout.

Will anyone watch it on TV?  Probably not.

[MurphysTillClose]

Excited for this. Nice little walk to the UC for me to watch Shaka take on Buzz.

[tower912]

I am definitely going g to try, but I suspect this will be a tougher ticket than we think.

[Warriors4ever]

I don't care about football so will be there!

I will as both NY teams will still suck. They'll both have at least 6 losses by the ninth of November if not more.

It's difficult to approve of such reckless scheduling. How quickly we forget what happened last time we played Indiana in the pre-conference schedule. Plus they took one of our best coaches. Seems that Shaka wants to play all of the Big Ten teams so badly. Shouldn't we focus our efforts on just joining that conference instead of going out of our way to schedule games with them all the time?

[Scoop Snoop]

It's being sponsored by a third party, so they can sell the rights to the highest bidder - even if FloSports.

Being on a Sunday limits their options AND limits its value though. A football Sunday in November? Conflicts with Packers or Bears is really going to limit the crowd.

I had no idea that people still go to Bears games.

Veteran's Day weekend; football still a "conflict," but travel to Chicago for the game easier for some.

Is this a serious post?  I can't tell anymore sometimes. 

[tower912]

That makes it awesome.  Either serious or some first rate dry sarcasm trolling.

Based on his scheduling post from  5/16/24, I am going with quality sarcasm.   Respect.

I thought it was pretty funny!

Which gives Marquette 4 Big Ten teams on the schedule for next year.

Neutral- Indiana
At- Purdue
At- UW
Home- Maryland

Love beefing up the quality of out of conference opponents.
Would love to see a yearly match up with Kansas and also Gonzaga

Why not Duke, Kentucky, UNC, and maybe UConn one more time to see the inimitable Danny Hurley?

[Uncle Rico]

And the Bucks.  Maybe get that Chones-Giannis matchup?

You're selling us short.  Marquette should arrange an international tournament with its peers.  Team USA, Team France, Team Spain, and Marquette makes an excellent field.  They can hold it at the Old Gym and play without a shot clock and three point line.

Dig up Al, and make a Lenin style tomb for his corpse so he can coach.

Nothing short of this will make little willie happy.

[tower912]

MU has scheduled well under Shaka.  This season, 3 Big 10 schools, three legit road games in amped up arenas, one neutral site game against a high major.  All learning experiences.
   It appears to me that we are heading toward an Izzo model of playing anybody, anywhere.  Fine with me, as long as everyone holds up their end of the bargain.   

[brewcity77]

I wonder if they would try to make this a doubleheader like the ones they have in Indy every year.

MU-IU in one game and Illinois or Northwestern in the other.

Wouldn't surprise me to see a second game between two more local mid-majors that also play road games at both IU & Marquette. Maybe mid-major teams like Loyola-Chicago, Drake, Bradley, Toledo, Notre Dame, SIUE, or Northern Iowa.

This game in Chicago must be burning the asses of all 4 DePaul fans.
