Buzz Williams wasn't even born then. Your last conference championship was in 1993, and you have always played in an AWFUL conference. SMU hasn't been relevant in sports since they cheated and got the Death Penalty in football. MU just took 2nd place in the Big East and is in the Sweet 16. SMU will be a consistent bottom feeder in the Big East and won't make the NCAA Tournament for quite some time. SMU's basketball facilities are 2nd rate at best. MU's practice facility is better than where SMU plays. State of the art beauty. And they play in an NBA arena. The SMU team travels commercial. MU charters its own plane both for team travel and for Buzz alone to recruit. Your program is at a high school freshman level compared to high major programs. Buzz gets paid $2.6 million a year. Are you going to up that to $4 million a year? Good luck. How do you recruit kids to SMU? "Hey guys, come be part of the 12th best D1 basketball program in our state and get your [deleted] kicked in the Big East every night, traveling thousands of miles to every away game." MU has a national championship, 2 Final Fours, Dwyane Wade, and 6 current NBA players. If Buzz wanted to get back down south he would have gone to Texas A&M or Oklahoma last year. Real basketball programs. He has said multiple times he would be at MU as long as MU will have him. MU isn't getting rid of him. This is a non-story. You might as well rumor Coach K to SMU with assistants Roy Williams, Tom Izzo, Bob Knight, John Wooden reincarnated, and John Callipari. Support staff includes Thad Matta and Bully Donovan. Time start making a new list if you think you're getting someone the caliber of Buzz Williams. Hint: start with an upcoming assistant coach looking for a shot as a head coach.

Good luck with your search. It ain't gonna be Buzz Williams.

2. MIlwaukee is one of the poorest cities in America

7. Buzz likes to play golf, hates German beer and cheese
8. Your AD sucks

Huh wrote:Buzz is staying at Marquette. Book it. But since you guys are clearly delusional, why not make a run at Phil Jackson while you're at it. I hear he's available.

If we can't outspend Marquette, we aren't the SMU I know and love.
