Oso planning to go pro
what I’m uptight about is that we are on year 9 of mediocre to bad basketball. MU is falling into the DePaul-zone. Needing yet another year or two? Brutal to even think about. And living here in mke, I can tell you MU hoops isn’t even making back page news these days. Not to mention all things Wisconsin Badgers is suffocating. I know it can be turned around quickly, but I can’t shake my pessimism.
This team sucks.
I was at MU 84-88, so I lived those years. And I disagree that we are in the same rancid water trench that only the ‘Lanche could help us survive.You can’t equate Dukiet and Deane with Wojo and Shaka. The first two were evidence of weak support by the MU administration and investment in the program. O’Neill was the wake up coach, where the admin understood the deep value of men’s b-ball. The latter demonstrate the commitment (and one might argue that Wojo’s firing proved that MU, finally, does have the willingness to cut rope when expectations are not being met) of the university.True that the last 8+ years have been mediocre, but they have been much, much better than the D & D years, in many ways.
