It's one game, but.....

my fav thing in sports is winning. Anyway, anyhow. Win now. Tired of players that must 'develop'. Today? We basically got smoked by a MVC team.

An MVC team? Tell me you don't pay attention to basketball without telling me you don't pay attention to basketball.

I hope we aren't comparing Marquette to the Brewers. I would like to think Marquette has a chance to compete for championships eventually. The Brewers will never.

It's way more likely the Brewers win a WS than MU wins a national title. Spending in college athletics is just as uneven as in the MLB. If college athletics puts something to the effect of a salary cap in place, we know programs will pay under the table. There's 30 MLB teams. There's 366 college basketball teams. It's unrealistic to expect a national title for Marquette. Possible? Of course. But extremely unlikely.

Leave it to scoop to argue about two shitty teams and which is shittier.

Do you support any non shitty teams, Farley?

I still disagree! For a mid major school sure. Marquette is a major college basketball program that can position themselves to win and puts themselves in position to win often.

There are people in here that have seen Marquette win a Championship. We've even seen them make a Final Four. Nobody has ever or probably will ever see the Brewers win.

I'm not quite sure why we're conflating two incompatible sports but if we're looking at how much 'trying' each team does, the Brewers turn over every possible rock to acquire talent, and they fail fast when a particular piece doesn't work. Time will tell for Marquette - they obviously need to sleep in the bed they've made for this year.

Anyone who saw Marquette win a national title also saw the Brewers lose in a game 7 of a World Series.

The Brewers had a game 7 NLCS home game in the last decade. Just by a numbers game, they're competing with way fewer teams for a title.
