PROTEST (2008 thread)
« on: April 07, 2008, 08:28:13 PM »
Any true MU cannot accept this. We have watched mistakes made off and on since March 30, 1977. The time is now for MU fans to voice their displeasure. They make stupid decisions because all keep supporting them. A mistake made tomorrow lasts a decade.

Alumni call the school and complain before 2pm.
Students get your butts outside and voice your anger. You will never have greater time in life than supporting your team. DO NOT LET TC or MU ADMINSTRATION take that away from you.

I am serious on this. We sat back and watched other mistakes and lived with them for years. Lets stop this from happening.

It doesn't matter how many people complain. We're not gonna flip flop like we did with the name change and fire Buzz next week. We're screwed for one season at the very least.

Yeah, right. Marquette students are far to apathetic to do anything.

There has got to be something better to protest than Buzz Williams taking over at Marquette :-\

MU fans----for once stand up for what is right. We are apathic for three decades. We are the laughingstock of NCAA as of 2pm tomorrow. That bothers me, doesn't it you?

UWM would not hire Buzz if they had an opening and we do.

Questionable but even still that's as an Assistant Coach.

There's a lot to being a Head Coach and this guy can't be out on the road recruiting all the time. He's gotta handle the crap left at home and we have no idea if he can do that.

Thankfully I have nothing better to protest in my life. But with that said, I do not want to wait 20y and five coaches to be competitive again. MU is being laughed at around the country. If Buzz fails youn tell me who wants to come here in four years.

Tell the school they made a mistake before they make the mistake. I believe they got cold feet about this hire and held it off from the weekend. They did so because they were afraid of backlash.

Let's give them backlash and give it to them quickly.

+1.

There has to be SOMETHING in the word more worthy of a protest than the MU hoops coach.

I LOVE MU hoops... but get a grip dude(s).

So the people on MU Scoop with hundreds of posts and glass is half full view are not true fans?

get a grip GYMBAR - you don't know squat about Williams or the process used to hire him.   Support your school & new coach, quit being a di&Khead...

Is thegymbar actually frank the tank?  will you be streaking through the 2pm conference tomorrow?  don't get me wrong, i really do appreciate your enthusiasm, but this is getting comical. 

i am a bit bummed, as the bennett rumors were getting me excited, but I will support buzz and hope he does well.  all of my disappointment however has subsided to lots of smiles as I have read this board and have seen some of these posts.  as they say, priceless

The responses to my post is exactly why MU made the choice. Nobody really does care. MU knows there will be suckers in the stands watching us play Sacramento  State or UW Whitewater. Cry, cry, cry on here....then accept it. Look in the mirror and you'll know why we got Buzzed.

Why protest?  So we can go hire one of the dozen or so big time coaches that were banging down our doors for the position?  Get a grip people.  While buzz isn't the sexy name everyone was hoping for at least give him a uear or two before you all chastize him.

Two ways you could be a Buzz supporter:

#1 You are TC croonie and you love being on the inside of program.
#2 You know NOTHING about college basketball.

I promise you no one is more surprised by this hiring more than Buz himself. Two weeks ago his name did not come up for ANY job.

Get a grip? I have spent a ton of money supporting following MU ball and now have a son attending there. Been a fan since Al and supported every lame decision. Not anymore.

How long would this protest last if he actually turns out to be good?

I would bet, not very long.
