The Altercation

You don't have to be worked up about it. It is just emblematic of the incompetence running deep.

It's not. At all.
Linking a poorly worded tweet to bad recruiting/roster decisions is a stretch that would make Simone Biles proud.

Hense the word "emblematic", not "demonstrative".

20 page hits?

Not sure about that. The article on the social media gaffe from Anonymous Eagle is their most viewed article since Megan Duffy left for Va Tech. Seems like Marquette fans beyond the Scoop/Twitter spheres are paying attention.

No one thinks TJ would come. Cyclones have real money. The best hire for a marquette will always be a mid major coach on the rise. Need someone with hunger.

The staff is currently too bloated, too many guys that don't do anything/ have stopped telling shaka no. The roster is broken and has maybe 2 players that should be on it.
Having staff the replys to tweets from whitesoxbill's burner is not stable and competent behavior.

The increase in ticket prices are a direct result of bloated spending in other avenues.
I get that Broeker decieded he had to increase prices, but their talent evaluation in all aspects is clearly questionable at best.  Well adjusted companies increase prices when they have something new and improved to offer, not significantly worse.

All of this just shows... that we lack some competence.

Oh there are DEFINITELY posters who will be throwing fits when Otz isn't our coach next year and claim that he wants the Marquette job, Marquette's athletic department is just incompetent and won't take him. I won't pretend to know the financial situation of Iowa State athletics/men's basketball, but if he wants out he'll go to another B12, B1G, or SEC program.

A lot of the rest of this is just nonsense. The staff is like any other high major staff in the country. Tons of people, all reporting to the head coach.

The Tweet is a nothingburger. The ticket price increase has nothing to do with bloated spending elsewhere and everything to do with schools are now paying student athletes. Nothing more, nothing less. Everyone's ticket prices in football and basketball are going up. Nothing unique to Marquette whatsoever.

Who's throwing fits? Jesus Christ you are the most dramatic ass dude on this board. And Elonsmusk is writing his annual "Stan" letter to Derrick Wilson as we speak. Even more dramatic than me. But because you won't ever concede that me and many others have been proven right over and over this season at your expense, this is your current crutch to hold on tightly to: "Otzelberger will NOT be our coach! So HA. Go cry about it!"

There's a wishlist thread here and for shiits and giggles I put Otzelberger in there. Trilly Donovan said he'd be a gettable candidate for Marquette and that "Marquette is an awesome job, top 15-20 IMO". Gonna go ahead and put more credence into what he has to say, thanks. By the way, Iowa State's NIL and rev share IS a problem, as stated by people more knowledgable than us.

I just think it's a loser mentality that too many here have to assume Marquette will simply hire some mid major maybe. Hell, Shaka was a home run hire until he decided to dig his heels in and not get with the times.

Idk if WS Bill is " legit " or not, but after the DNP last night and with everything else going on ... I can't see any reason Norman would stay.

Hopefully Sean and Hamilton are right behind him. But, I doubt it

The drama king of scoop calling someone else a "dramatic ass."  That's rich.  You legitimately have the emotional fortitude of a two year old.  And the logic skills as well.

I hope you encounter a tough phase in your life, and all of your "friends" turn their back on you and discredit any good you've done in your time as friends.  Or perhaps professionally (though I think it's likely you are a trust fund baby) you have 4 great years, and then less than 2 months into you struggling on the job, you have a manager at work who craps on you throughout the company and doesn't stop until you get fired.

No Marquette fan is happy with this season, but those of us who are Shaka slurpers think he is more than capable of turning things around.  We also realize there is nothing he can do during the season to change the roster.  And he can't make the layups, or wide open 3 point shots for our players.

Hard as it may be for you to have some perspective and not be a spoiled brat, give it a shot in 2026.

Give what a shot?

Unfortunately, there is no way TJO would take the Marquette job if Iowa State remains a top 15 program under his watch.  He will be able to hold out for one of the really big jobs like Kentucky, UNC, etc.  For an established coach like him, Marquette is a port in a storm if things start to go south fast (like it was for Shaka, or how Sean Miller jumped to Texas) but MU isn't going to steal a good coach from a power conference program.

Just not the one you think, man.
