This probably should be a super bar topic but couldn't resist. Suck it Bucky.

Spectacular - I suppose between this and the graduation rates, they had to drop academic standards to get to back-to-back Final Fours. Still impressive tho.

I'm surprised Beloit is so far up and MSOE so far down.

I don't think we are... I read Harvard of the Midwest then looked for the school at the top of the list. That's MU.

It's more of an issue for people from Wisconsin. I like Madison. Great times visiting there and my friends that went there are all very cool people. I'm rooting for UW in the tourney and have zero issues with it.

I am rooting for UW. Can't stand Kentucky.

The amount of posts related to UW is pathetic. I don't know of any other board so obsessed with another school as some MU fans are about UW.

Go to a Wisconsin board, amazing the number of threads about MU vs their Big Ten brethren.

UCLA vs USC.  Etc, etc.  Happens all over the place.

Have to agree with chicos. It's even more pronounced right now because they are in the final four and Marquette was terrible this year. When we were in the elite eight and they lost in the first round the Wisconsin board had a bunch of threads about Marquette. It's the nature of a rivalry.

Full disclosure: I've never posted on a Wisconsin board and never will but I do check in about once a month to see who Bo is recruiting from Wisconsin because like it or not, he hits way more often than he misses.

Correct, I'm from WI and it is a huge issue for me.  That doesn't mean Madison isn't fun, it means that I want the team I dislike the most to lose.

I would probably judge Wash U in St. Louis to be the Harvard of the Midwest.  It has roughly twice the number of students and double the acceptance rate of Harvard, but it has a certain private east coast school aesthetic.  It has a great med school attached and even lower quality sports than Harvard.  Northwestern and Notre Dame either too large (NW) or have too high of an acceptance rate (ND) and both have far too prominent athletic programs. 

Wait, is this not the theme of the thread?

I agree with Wash U, but I think Northwestern is probably still closer. But those are probably the top 2.

Notre Dame is a good school, but it is not that level.

University of Chicago's got to be up there too.

University of Chicago clearly. Most Nobel Laureates of any university in the world.... difficult to get into.... #1 business school in the world.... those are just the factoids I've got off the top of my head. I'm not sure where their law/medicine/etc ranks but I'm sure those are also up there.

This.

Why are people continually surprised by this?  It has been explained ad nauseam why some of us feel this way; I'm not expecting everyone to agree with that viewpoint.

If we choose to watch college basketball from a different perspective than you (i.e. hating UW) why do you care?  Rooting against a rival is hardly anything new, and for those of us who live in WI, the endless Badger love gets tiresome.
