Scrambled Eggs - Marquette Basketball

Holiday podcast from Scrambled Eggs

It is the holiday season, and we've got a holiday podcast.  Or at least a podcast about Marquette basketball in which we wish you happy holidays.  They are basically the same thing.  Anyway, this episode we're talking about the improvement we've seen the last couple of games against admittedly inferior competition, the New Mexico game, and Duane Wilson's return but then not so much.  Lastly we discuss whether either of us is qualified to be the Athletic Director at Marquette with the somewhat surprising departure of Larry Williams.  It's an upbeat look at Marquette basketball, having long forgotten that loss to the hated rodents of the west.  So while you are driving to that holiday party, pop on the podcast and enjoy a little Marquette basketball cheer.  Happy Holidays everyone!

They are who they thought they were, its not good, but its not all bad

The Wisconsin loss is a tough one to swallow, nobody like to lose to a stinkin' badger.  So this podcast will be a lot of discussion about disappointment.  As an example how disappointed it is to have yet another issue with Todd Mayo.  We talk about what it means, and how short of a leash he should have from here on out.  We also talk about the game itself and whether there was anything positive.  We also talk non-conference schedule and where we think the team goes from here.  It's an interesting discussion, give it a listen and let us know what you think.

Mixed results in California and all in for Badger Hate Week

It's time for another Scrambled Eggs podcast and this time we're talking the results of the Wooden Classic.  We discuss whether it means something good, something bad, or really somewhere in the middle.  We also talk about Deonte Burton stepping out as a legitimate player and where are MU's problems bigger:  Jamil Wilson or the 2 guard position.  Joe brings some non-sponsors to the podcast to support Badger Hate Week and we talk about the game in Madtown against the loathed red rodents.  So listen, enjoy, and please keep calm, we have at least 3 months of roller coaster to go.

Giving thanks for an offense that looked competent and some potentially corner turning performances

First, happy early Thanksgiving to everyone out there that listens to this podcast, it's one of the things we're thankful for here at Scrambled Eggs.  Second, we're going to discuss the surprising (to us anyway) results of the Arizona State game.  Did Derrick Wilson turn a corner?  Do we have better clarity at the 2 guard?  Does this game mean any more in a good way than the Ohio State game meant in a bad way?  Most importantly, where do we see this taking the team in the next week as they play in the Wooden Classic.  Join us on this audio adventure as you prepare your Thankgiving activities and Ring out Ahoya!

Ummm, yeah, that was....unpleasant

If you are a Marquette fan you are well aware of what happened yesterday and are probably grossed out by it.  As a Marquette fan, you are also probably sitting in one of two camps, that was a disaster and this team is going to be terrible, or that was a disaster and let's see a couple of more weeks before we hit the panic button.  Either way it was a disaster and we at Scrambled Eggs break it down as that is our job.  Well, not really job because we don't get paid, but we like to pretend.  We discussed all aspects of the game, what it means, who's to blame, and where do we go from here.  Just to cleanse the pallet, we discuss the positive news on the recruiting trail.  So buckle up and give it a listen.  Trust us, we can't be nearly as listening to our podcasting as it was watching that game.

Finally we get to watch some basketball instead of just talking about

You're looking live at Marquette basketball in the Bradley Center! (all credit to Mr. Musburger) The Scrambled Eggs crew is very excited to finally see some actual basketball played.  We touch on the opening two games, Southern and Grambling, what we want to see and what we expect.  Based on the opponent quality we move pretty quickly to predictions on the season and the roster.  We discuss starting line-up, especially given an article written by the beat report of the local paper of record(Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel).  We then make some predictions on the players themselves, where one of us may or may not go off the reservation a little bit.  We close out on the whereabouts of former Marquette players.  Buckle in, the season is on the way.

Geez, that whole week was pretty unpleasant

We're back, and way faster than we thought.  Our last podcast was all about Marquette Madness and excitement for the Ahmed Hill commitment.  That exuberance was short lived when 72 hours later Jameel McKay took to twitter to say he was leaving Marquette for unknown and sure to be wildly speculated reasons.  We came up off the mat with the news of Marial Shayok's commitment, adding him to the embarrassing riches of switchables at Marquette.  But then, we got pushed right back down with the word that Duane Wilson is taking part in the annual Marquette walking boot tradition due to a stress fracture that will keep him out "multiple" weeks.  We don't know what that means either, but we're going to talk about that and everything else that happened this week.  We talk how these changes will impact the roster, starters, and minutes.  We'll also wrap up with recruiting discussions and how we see this week shape the next year.  This is the last pod before the season starts....we think....unless one of us ends up in a walking boot or something.

Podcasting the Madness

The season is nearly upon us and it's Madness time.  We talk the take aways from this year's Marquette Madness.  It's a very small sample size but the interwebs are all about rampant uneducated speculation, so we discuss who shined and who might need a little more work before the start of the season.  We also spend some time discussing the big recruiting get in Ahmed Hill and what if anything the Malik Harris news means.  We're getting prepared for the start of the season, the excitement is palpable.

The schedule is out, so let's talk wins and losses

It's been a while since you've heard the dulcet tones of a Scrambled Eggs podcast, so we are correcting that now.  The full basketball schedule for Marquette is out so we are making snap judgements on how the schedule shakes out, so you don't have to worry about actually watching the season.  We'll also spend a little time talking about yet more Marquette alum in the NBA.  Lastly, we briefly touch on the latest recruiting news, including whether it's time to get in a bomb shelter because we don't have a "tall" player committed and if you were 14 would you have committed to Marquette.  So get your Marquette fix as we prepare for the full immersion into the season on October 11th.

It's been six weeks, we're getting the band back together for a little offseason pod

Well, we didn't apply to transfer and then not transfer, unlike half the team.  So now that everything seems to have settled out, we got the podcast machine fired up to talk about everything Marquette basketball since Vander Blue declared for the NBA and Jake Thomas and Juan Anderson transferred then didn't.  We talk roster, depth, starting line ups, something called ghost starters, and who gets the most minutes.  We then touch on the little we know about the non-conference and facing Doug McDermott as many as 5 times.  Last we play my new favorite, Joe's invention, More or less likely to be on a NBA roster at the beginning of next season than Vander Blue.  Be careful its roster not drafted, if you forget that, Joe will win on a technicality because he is a dirty rotten cheater. Hope you are as excited about the offseason podcasting as we are.
