Return of Buzz

[The Sultan]

The MU student section would boo the Pope if he coached the opposing team.

Cause the Pope is woke.

[The_Blaze]

What is being criticized is off the court stuff that was well documented and part of a headline story that caused embarrassment to the university and harm to its students.

It has nothing to do with an anonymous message board. Jeez.

The current administration may have chosen Jerel's number retirement ceremony during this game since Buzz was his coach.  If you do not forgive Buzz then do the right thing and do not boo him so Jerel can have his day with nothing tarnishing it. 

I forgot about the 2010 and 2011 incidents which were very bad - well beyond a coach's eccentricities, and questionable decisions by the staff and the athletes. I should not have forgotten about those incidents as that is disrespectful to the victims. 

If you do not forgive Buzz, fine.  But, few fans are going to recall what happened 15 years ago, when it was clearly hidden as best as possible, and booing will be seen by 99.99% of the audience as Marquette fans not liking Buzz because he chose to move on.  The booing will not be seen as a tribute to the victims - so let Jerel have his day, untarnished.

Counterpoint:  Who cares what people think if you boo

As long as we cheer loud as hell for Jerel, I doubt he'll care.

Buzz was his coach for 2 years and his head coach his final year at MU so Jerel likely would care.  And even if I am wrong it still looks bad.  I explained why in my last post.

I can't believe he got the job over Scott Drew.  Meat eaters said it was a done deal. 

[DoctorV]

The most successful Marquette coach since Al.  All while Marquette was in the toughest conference they've ever been in.  Shaka wishes he could come close to the success Buzz had here.

Buzz, is that you?

I really enjoyed being a Marquette fan during the Buzz years, it was a heckuva lot of fun.

I was kinda ticked when he left, since I had a weird feeling Marquette basketball was going to take a turn for the worst with regards to NCAAt success, and then that indeed happened.

In time, I realized that he wasn't as great of a dude as my mind made him feel like when he was at Marquette and I thought to myself, well it's a good thing he left.
Then I forgot about him outside of following up on some of his schtick pressers and getting a chuckle.

It's about as simple as that for me when it comes to buzz.
Sort of like the gal that tricked you into thinking she was a wholesome family girl until you realized otherwise, but then you look back and appreciate the good times while realizing it's a blessing that you didn't fall for the trap.
Or something like that

Don't worry Ms. Williams. I won't be there.

It wouldn't look (or sound) bad at all if Marquette fans boo a coach who spurned Marquette and then shat on the Marquette program on his way out the door. The more I think about it, the more disappointed I'll be if MU fans don't boo Buzx.

But of course they should cheer Jerel. It's not an either/or thing.

[barfolomew]

He's going to be the opposing coach, for the love of pedro. He should be booed for that alone.
The only reason I might not boo him is if I had credible evidence that Jerel is his good buddy, and if I happened to be sitting near Jaxson Davis.
Even then, it'd be tough.

I also wouldn't boo him if I had credible evidence that he had been in rehab.
Because if he had, that means he probably couldn't handle his boos.

[GoFastAndWin]

Lol. Heavens to betsy, dozens of people will surely remember that.

This is correct.  Not to mention, our country has a dozen GALACTICALLY WORSE scandals each month. 

Oh no, not Lorne Greene too.

I very much appreciate the achievements of MU b-ball during the Buzz years. I could sense his disengagement during his final year, and I disliked his comments when he left. Once gone, I paid attention to him and where he coached like some relatives. Like, my ex-brother in law went to VT and my distant cousin went to A&M. I've never really cared about those teams but was curious.

Let's kick Maryland's butt tomorrow.

Agree. Got a report Buzz is on the 7th Floor at the Westin Milwaukee tonight. Go Marquette!

[The_Blaze]

Has Buzz asked for forgiveness?

Not that I am aware but if the allegations are true 4 student athletes should have gone to jail, careers should have been ruined, and the MU Men's basketball program should have been given a severe NCAA punishment.

The clear cover-up is unforgivable regardless.

[MUDPT]

FWIW, Mike J introduced Killings, "please welcome back former Marquette assistant Dwayne Killings." I'm curious if they will do the same for Buzz...

[Eye]

Will it placate some if I boo loudly when Brent is introduced right before tip-off but stay silent if and when Brent is mentioned before or during McNeal's ceremony?

Of course he will.
