OU v MU 11/28

[Warriors4ever]

Where are the tickets located that some of you got through MU? I can't figure out if we are considered the home team or the visiting team.

Self-imposed limitations???

What's the confusion?

He's willingly making his job that much more difficult by refusing to use the portal, something he's had incredible success with and every other coach in America utilizes annually.

Add in the fact he hardly goes after/doesn't pay up for true blue chip high school talent (Andrews, Ward, Morillo) and instead takes as many unknown projects as he possibly can (Ross, Gold, Itejere, Hamilton, Clark, Walker) and here we are. Staring down the barrel of a terrible 2025-2026 and an even worse 2026-2027. But hey, I'm not the GM so what does it matter what I think.

Ahh a dose of reality and valid criticism too much for you to handle?

Same.  Must be a Marquette section.

If you're a fan that hates MU playing non-conference games in Chicago in November, you're in for a lot of disappointment in the upcoming years.

Financially, it is great for Marquette. No air travel, limited hotel expenses, name opponents without committing to a home/home. Having Chicago 90 minutes from campus is a huge plus for the athletic budget.

And therein lies the problem. What's easy and makes money? Those are the only two questions being asked. Nothing about what gives the best fan experience, how they reward fan loyalty, or really any consideration of how to center the people that pay the bills.

As a result, season tickets are down 10% this year, they can't sell single games, and this Oklahoma game looks like a ghost town. But that's okay, it's not about retaining or growing the fanbase, just bleeding the ones that haven't jumped ship yet.
