Gonna be a lot of Dark Blue and Yellow in the building.

Let's hope for a repeat of the last time we played Michigan.

A chance to play Pitt in the championship game. I can't wait, hate them almost as much as Bucky. As I always say: Pitt rapes puppies

I get your trying to be funny but you missed the mark by a lot. Not cool

You must really love Pitt

[bilsu]

Is it better to play a team you hate or a team you do not hate? You could always lose to a team you hate, which just makes it worse. I do not like losing, but losing to a team I hate is just adding to my misery.

No. I just don't think rape jokes are funny.

Depends on if you win or not.

Agree beating a hated team feels so nice but losing feels so bad

Lets use Notre Dame as an example. I hate them very much but would still like to see us play them even though they have gotten the best of us in recent years.

Oh good lord. It must be exhausting putting so much effort into trying to be offended by everything.

I can't lose!!!

enviable position

In your heart of hearts when its a one point game with 10 seconds to go, where is your hope vested?

I understand that not everyone agrees with the social justice lens I look through (the one I learned from those pesky Jesuits!), but really? I get it on some of the other topics, but I thought we were at a point in society where it was pretty widely accepted that rape jokes aren't funny or appropriate.

MU v UM in hoops I am 110% behind the Warriors. I say that without hesitation.

Both MU hoops and U of M football are core passions for me as they gave texture and touch points for two significant times in my life. If Marquette resurrected football and they played U of M I would have to go with the Maize and Blue if only because going to games in A2 was a part of my personal history.

But in hoops there is no question I am with the Warriors against all comers.

You and I must disagree on this. Some rape jokes are hilarious.

The thought of guys like Bernie Madoff or The Subway Guy getting anally violated every night in prison is damned funny.

Sorry, but that's still inapproriate in a public forum.

So...Michigan. Lost Caris LeVert and Spike Albrecht (neither of whom really played after January 1). They return the rest of the starters that went 13-10 in conference play and postseason play after losing LeVert. However, they did lose a few guys to transfer as bench players Ricky Doyle, Kameron Chatman, and Aubrey Dawkins all moved on. They will need some lesser used reserves and freshmen to step up if they are to have any depth this year.

But man...they look tough. Duncan Robinson is a stud and he's surrounded by solid guys. They'll be a very tough out. I definitely see them as a tourney team, and if their bench can come together, they could be a surprise contender in a Big 10 that saw their top teams lose a lot of talent.

The thought of The Subway Guy, a person who paid to have sex with kids, getting violated in both his mouth and his anus every night is a form of justice.

I think any father would agree.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Keefe, while I understand your anger at these men I think you are way off base. Rape is never a fitting form of punishment for any crime. And I hope someone who shares a degree with me would see why.

I am not advocating rape. But if a child molester is violated in prison I won't lose a second of sleep over it.

People who prey on children are the most vile creatures. I have done volunteer work with an organization focused on helping children rebuild their lives after having been sold into various forms of slavery.

Next Generation Nepal is doing God's work. I spent the better part of a year working for them in Nepal. Anyone who shares a degree with me would understand my righteous indignation.

If you are interested in making a difference I can introduce you to Conor Grennan or Martin Punaks of NGN. One year of your life will continue to vibrate and enrich the lives of dozens of victims for decades. Anyone who shares a degree with me would want to accept that challenge.

Sheesh, this got off topic quick.
