Return of Buzz

[Scoop Snoop]

Sure, but the people who remember won't be booing loud enough to be heard over the majority.

What? You don't think the vesties can boo loud enough?

I think the vesties didn't see a problem

But that's way different than "inside baseball," which implies that only insiders knew what was actually going on. Sure people forget and move on, but it was far from "inside baseball." It was well known and had implications for how the institution was lead and governed.

Inside baseball doesn't equal "secret baseball" as I'd use the phrase.

Yes, thousands read the articles.  Very few remember any of it -- because of the distance of years, because of the constant onslaught of scandal, and yeah, because it's unpleasant and most alumni are happy to memory hole that -- and none of it happened on the court.

In honesty .. I barely recall any of this. 

I look very fondly at the Buzz era and "count on" MUScoop to remind me how I should not.

Agreed. My prediction for the Buzz reaction:

Mostly Indifferent: ~14,000 fans
Mild Boos (Buzz left for VT): ~1,000 fans
Loud Boos (Buzz = slimeball): 12 scoopers

The guy did coach here several more seasons after these incidents and I didn't notice the average fan changing their opinion much of him as a result during that time. 

Not much different than any other opposing coach.

I think it will be mostly cheers.  Jerel's jersey is being retired, and people are generally respectful.  They'll see no reason to act up when it's Jerel's day, not Buzz's.

I won't boo. I won't cheer.

I'll give a nice short little clap and move on. Hoping the crowd and particularly the student section is more focused on the win than the boo'ing of Buzz but I'm guessing it won't be. Most of the kids in the student section probably have little recollection of Buzz at MU but the easy thing for them to do will be boo.

I would guess a good portion of the students will have no idea who Buzz even is.
