OU v MU 11/28

How bad is Oklahoma that MU is favored in this one

Bad enough that MU is not favored.

Yep. Oklahoma being favored should make you very, very happy.

So it'd be better if Marquette played one in Chicago and one in Nashville, where there's very few Marquette alum? Makes WAY more sense to play two neutral site games in Chicago.

Yet another nonsensical post. I know ridiculous hyperbole is your defense mechanism, but you don't have to implore it every time out.

It would make sense to play in St Louis or New York, where there are Marquette alums. It would make sense to play in Philadelphia or Boston or DC where you have Big East connections nearby & can appeal to current players and future recruits.

Just because Marquette has a lack of imagination on this stuff doesn't mean you have to reinforce or validate it. That's being as lazy as they are.

Nonsensical posts are the ones that don't understand the landscape of college basketball. Apparently that's you. Very few programs are going to "destination cities" for their fanbase anymore. They're playing neutral site games instead of flying to Maui.

MU playing two non conference games in Chicago isn't "lazy." It's smart. Huge alumni base, easy drive for Milwaukee area fans.

You want Marquette to go play where there is a fraction of the alumni base and much further away from Milwaukee. I guess if that's being "imaginative" then sure. Getting what should be a semi home game on a neutral court is great.

Yeah, I definitely see the merit of the Chicago games. Like you said, a crowd friendly neutral game could really help a resume.

My only issue with it would be turning down NIL opportunities with Players Era Festival, especially if we are going to cry poor on NIL. Plus, as a season ticket holder, the blah home slate doesn't help.

Although, if we were undefeated right now, I'd be in a lot better mood about it.

Ok to get to important things, we will also be in 109....

[GoldenEagles03]

What are our odds of getting the #1 overall pick if we lose today? Need to know if I should be rooting for a win or a loss.

I hate that a small part of me doesn't mind if we lose. The worse things get, the more Shaka will be unable to deny that the current system isn't working. If things get bad enough, maybe then he'll decide to make some changes for the better.

I don't believe he will change. Just win today. That should be the motto.

If Shaka took as many unknown projects as he possibly can, Owens, Parham, Norman, Stevens, James, and Pearson wouldn't be on the roster and Egbuono would not have just committed.

The fact you think the coach of a high major program recruiting 6 high major prospects over 4 seasons is some sort of win is hysterical. How are you not seeing what's so goddamn obvious. 5 years in and we BLOW.

[Zog from Margo]

This MU team is reverting to form.

Gold is the equivalent of Derrick Wilson on offense, but Wilson finished stronger at the hoop.

To add to this. You're pointing to Owens and Norman, as if one isn't so bad he can't see the field and the other isn't so bad that simple drives or made FT's is seen as a giant improvement in his game.

Cool. Shaka has recruited 7 profile recruits. 2 absolutely blow, 1 had a good freshman year and regressed, 2 look to be actual HM players, and 2 haven't stepped on the court. So again, congrats??

[Vander Blue Man Group]

I hope you burn your turkey

Actually had Wagyu steak on Thursday and it was unbelievable.  Turkey tonight so will keep you posted. 

Hope you had a nice holiday (sincerely).

Not remotely what I said - maybe you should re-read your comment and my response.

You said he takes as many unknown projects as he possibly can.  That's objectively false.

Again, comprehension seems to be an issue for you.  Norman hasn't worked out but he was a pretty highly regarded recruit.  That's that point based on your comments.

Turkey on Saturday is a wild move vander. My respect for you grows by the second

How does the chef do the bird. Simpletons despise turkey but those who relish the challenge can really turn it into a fantastic meal

I think it's pretty straightforward.  Stuffing inside.  Nothing fancy.  I like turkey but prefer the leftover turkey sandwiches.
