2024 Coaching Carousel

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

Posters who know when to just let something go or don't do the following are most valued here. Hope Dr. B sticks around.

Goose, I agree.

It's one of the reasons, that if I knew I was in town/near some of the scoopers, I would love to grab a beer with them.

Even the ones I often disagree with. I'd love to grab a beer with Rocket (even though we often disagree, because I'd like to hear his life story; I recognize that Rocket the person is likely very different than Rocket the poster), I know you and I have disagreed on things, but similarly, know I could learn a lot from your different experiences. I regret not getting a chance to grab a beer/dinner with Keefe once (my schedule was busier than expected), and I'm pretty sure he offered to connect me with some possibly useful contacts...even though we typically disagreed.

I realize a message board has its ecosystem, where some will get roasted at times (I still like to lean into my takes on Lebron), but sometimes it gets out of hand, and I'm sure that is what Dr. B is referencing. In particular, the attacks in this thread on jutaw22, were over the top. There are ways to disagree with someone with data/facts, if you disagree, without getting personal.

That said, after careful consideration, due to the fact that as you say we are all hear because of a shared love for MU, I will bring my lack of posting acumen back to MUScoop for another year.

Hey!  Thanks forget!  I know I'd truly enjoy an ice cold beverage with you as well.  With your science background that I believe you have, I think we'd rock and roll forgetting(no pun) about our political leanings. science is a great non contact sport

Cheers! 👍

Meeting Dr. Blackheart was awesome.  I hope he returns when he is ready.

Forgetful

I agree with you on some things and disagree on others but I always look forward to reading your opinions. You've even changed my perspective at times. I can honestly say that about all but a handful of posters.

Lenny and I used to go at it all the time on scoop and  he is pretty much the same persuasion as I am.  Met a couple of times, golfed and now I'd name my next kid after him...except there aint gonna be anymore little rockets so I'll have to settle for my next gold fish or macaw being named Lenny 🤷🏼‍♂️

I know we have talked about it, but still surprised that you and Lenny used to bump heads.

I don't have litmus tests for friends. Neither do you, Rocket or most other folks here. Once you get to know someone differences of opinion take a (way) back seat to friendship.

Will BYU only look at coaching candidates that are LDS?  Bold, but limiting.

Pretty sure that's par for the course these days with them. Just looking back, it's been decades since they haven't hired an LDS coach for either their football or basketball programs.

Its also part of the reason they don't cycle through coaches as well, IMO.  This will be only their 4th BB coach in 25 years and Sitake is their 4th FB coach...since 1972.

Dr. Blackheart is one of the most knowledgeable and caring Marquette basketball fans I know. His love for our university and our program is unsurpassed.

Besides that, Doc  and his wife are two of the nicest and caring people I know. Really great people and a joy to be around.

And LaVell Edwards was not LDS was he was hired I believe. I think he converted pretty late in his career.

Some of my oldest and best friends have vastly different views on life, activities and hobbies. Even with the different viewpoints we have remained friends for 50+ years. I will add, that aside from several that have taken the cure, they all do enjoy a cocktail. Life would be boring if  my friends did not have different beliefs or views on life.

Same here.  That's why I laugh when someone calls a political party they aren't a part of, the greatest threat to America

Seriously, I'm down with John Fetterman. Maybe all democrats should have a stroke and undergo therapy, hey?
