Recruit

Recruit (1/7)

  1. Fun fact, Mark Few joined the Gonzaga coaching staff as a graduate assistant in 1989 was promoted to full time assistant the following year (Dan Monson was already an assistant on Gonzaga's staff and helped him get the job). 4 years later Gonzaga made its first post-season appearance (1994 NIT), then its first NCAA tournament in 1995. I give Dan Monson a lot of credit for the 1999 Elite 8, but given the remainder of his career after I think probably the best business decision he ever made was convincing his friend to come work with him. As much credit as Mark Few is given, I actually think he is underrated.
  2. Judge Judy isn't on the Supreme Court? http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/19/politics/judge-judy-supreme-court-poll/
  3. I agree. Hopefully he at least addressed that somewhat in the 10 extra practices allowed for teams making foreign trips.
  4. I'd love to see some kind of postseason tournament this year. I know the NCAA is probably not in the cards but I would be pretty happy with the NIT or even the CBI/CIT type tournaments.
  5. Just a curiosity, but is this the same kind of deal that Georgetown and VCU have with Learfield? If so, I believe those two get paid something by Learfield for the arrangement.
  6. What he said. We didn't get the one we wanted the most but let's not give up completely.
  7. One thing I've learned, you can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but don't pick your friend's nose.
  8. Easy friend, just a little joke. I have no interest in picking a fight.
  9. It is interesting that three consecutive administrations at Marquette could carry out this conspiracy without missing a beat.
  10. Question: if you buy a university with your endowment, and they have an endowment around half of yours, do they become a part of your endowment? Does their endowment become yours? Do you split the endowment? In any event, it appears Creighton required only one member on the Marquette BOT to get in, so why waste the full endowment? (not that I buy the conspiracy theory)
  11. This would have been a horrible first season for us to join the Big East. I am grateful to have been spared that. However, this is an outstanding year for them. There's no guarantee that this will be their norm any more than last year was. Here's hoping we can get back to the middle of the A10 next year and maybe keep increasing our odds for the call-up. It can't get worse than this year.
  12. UT Arlington with 12 at half against Kentucky. Fingers crossed.
