Great game story from Doyel

[TulsaWarrior]

Buzz is an intense guy if you hadn't noticed. His wife (an anchor in his life) goes through an emergency hospital trip and operation in the middle of the night. He coaches two masterful games against two of the best coaches in the business. Nail biter victories for a team that has little rrom for error. Now it's late Saturday night and he is in a city a thousand miles from home. He has his two young boys and his wife is still recovering from surgery. How many of us wouldn't be a touch edgy? A hamburger and a good night of sleep at a hotel is not an unfair thought.

I was a journalist most of my life and completely understand the comments about the difference between serious journalists and some people who populate the Blogosphere who pass themselves off as journalists.

Buzz's news conference sure beats coachspeak bs or the lack of respect Bobby Knight showed for journalists over the years. Marquette has an original.

Or Bo's surly chats with the sideline reporter at halftime.

Yeah, that is the way I took that as well. He said at one point in his comments about God's test, that they haven't passed that one yet - I believe he meant they have not yet gone beyond the Sweet 16. He is not satisfied getting to the Sweet 16, he wants more.

I remember Buzz saying that way back in October at Marquette Madness. Said two straight sweet 16's were not enough. They wanted more. Obviously, that is/was one of their goals for the season. I hope they didn't put a ceiling on those goals!

Yeah, woke up this morning to an email from MU at 11:42 last night inviting media and fans to welcome the team back at 1:30am

I went with a few friends. Team arrived around 2am. Probably about 100 people total, mostly students. Fox 6 and WISN had cameras there but no media personalities. Looks like the interns drew this assignment.

There usually isn't media talent for these. When they came back from Big East Tourney there were several cameras and radio interns, but Andrew Gruman and I were the only two that asked questions.

There have been times in the past when Broeker was the AD and several cameras were there but no personalities and Broek would approach Doddsy and I and say, 'no media people here, can you guys take all the questions?"
