Keep Whining

I actually think Wojo really likes it here, and wants to build his own program. He can have just as much success at MU than just about any program in the country outside of a handful or two of blue bloods.  I honestly don't think Wojo is going anywhere other than Duke, unless he is shown the door.

It's going to take a lot of work but I agree. I think Wojo enjoys it here and could easily have us at top 3 in the BE year in and out if he wants/can create that (assuming our D shores up).

Having said that I could see him taking a high profile ACC gig if it comes open also.

I think Wojo will definitely be here another 2 years no matter what happens during those years record wise. No denying our talent is high. And our talent is young. It will build.

Goose and his family have been a part of the Marquette story for generations. And they have done more for the university, and the men's basketball team, than you ever will.

I would suggest you take your sanctimonious schtick somewhere else because it is people like Goose who have made meaningful contributions to Marquette's success for decades. Your level of engagement is sniveling on a message board while Goose has been actively engaged in making Marquette something special.

Goose knows better than most what a successful program means to Marquette. And he and I both know that there are many influential and generous supporters of Marquette who are becoming increasingly uncomfortable with what is happening with the team.

Telling Goose to "move on" illustrates not just your dreadful hubris but, more sickeningly, your grotesque fatuousness.

i'm not arguing Goose's contributions to the school or what not but how can you realistically know any of this? Quite frankly in this post you come off very arrogant and snobby.  For all you know Golden Avalanche comes from/started a massive MU family, he may not of to but there's no way to know. Goose has been a major debbie downer recently and his consistent griping has been somewhat annoying also warranted in some cases. To hit back making presumptuous statements is not a good look though.

His choice of "sanctimonious" and "hubris" is amazing.

I know Goose. He bleeds Blue and Gold. Anyone telling him to 'get lost' or 'move on' is a clueless idiot.

Im sure he does, but that's not remotely what your post said. also not to nitpick here but the only way one could be considered clueless in this instance is if the general expectation is knowing Goose bleeds blue and gold. While that may be common knowledge to those of us who spend our daily routine checking scoop 5 times a day others on this board could easily see someone who has been a big downer and refuses to see any positives, as of late, and I could understand how a poster would come to question his presence on here

Not dat he needs it, but I'm gonna stick my schmeckel out for Brother Goose too. Da cat has flat out forgotten more 'bout MU hoops dan most of y'all will ever learn. His frustration or pissedness is not witout merit. And beyond all dis chit, we're on a fookin' chat board wear one dude or dudette's opinion is as valid as da next. So, get off his heine and opine away, ai na?

[BM1090]

I don't question for one second that Goose has given a lot to MU hoops, and am grateful for that. That said, he has openly said he is barely interested in the team and is close to apathy, so I think we can question his love for the program at this point.

Do you see defensive progress over the last month?    I do.   It was good enough last night that not one person has complained it.   Could we have said that a month ago?
I see improvement in consistent effort.    Luke got the message after the Nova game.    Other than JjJ doing his good play/bad play routine, did one player not bust his a$$ last night?
After blowing another late lead, did the coach and team pull it together and beat a bigger, stronger, more experienced team?   And 3 refs?   
Could Matt Heldt give us what he did last night a year ago or even a month ago?   
Are Markus or Sam any good?
Do we have a sophomore in a shooting slump that continues to make every other winning play?
Is there a boat load of size on the horizon?

I see progress.    I see good young players.   I see building blocks.   There are going to be more bad games that are going to be frustrating and difficult to watch.   I accept it.   But I can see the road map.

AGAIN!

Cool Running's, mahn.  Nice.

Not to speak for Goose or other long time alumni families, but there is a growing apathetic sentiment about the state of the program and university carried over to now. Not about Wojo but that the university would hire a coach in waiting with the investment in the program.  Apathy for them is not "I don't care" but rather "I quit caring".

A five year rebuild doesn't sit well, remembering these alums are weary of these administrations (Wojo was hired with no president or AD, the three top sports programs were coachless, and MU was in a new conference=cluster).  MU is paying severance and salary for three admins yet. 

Scholl is working to get things right with alums. Wojo is growing. Future rosters look bright.  NCAA this year and Wojo is golden. Lose and donors will start to walk faster than they have.  There is a $120 million athletics facility to be funded and built stuck in the mud.

Good post Dr B. 

No reason to attack anyone personally for an opinion.   Disagreeing based on ideas, facts and perspective make sense though. 

[Galway Eagle]

At the very best I would Wojo a C grade at this point. As always, I would give MU admin a D for a grade.

The program is beginning to look more and more like SLU to me.

Good stuff

Good stuff

So funny.

I do remember SLU's big comeback win over No. 1, though.
