So what?  They hate us and we hate them, that's just how it goes.  Who cares if they have threads bashing Buzz and MU?  We do the same to them.  Here's to hoping we get another shot at them in the tourney....

There were a number of coaches not thrilled with MU on the Brandon Dawson recruitment.  Plenty of rumors flying around, but the one that was posted over there I had never heard and give 0% credence to.  That's beyond silly and no truth to it.

Meh, Bo Ryan will die soon enough and Becky will fade back into obscurity... like the 60+ years before dracula became their coach.

It's funny how quickly a superiority complex can grow when you live in a college town like Madison.  Silly farm-boys.

I find it hilarious that they get mad that we recruit the same kids they do.  Oh, I'm sorry, because you are the great University of Wisconsin we are not entitled to look at any in state players until you have passed over them.  They are just jealous that we landed mathews and blue out of their backyard.  And not to mention, marquette has not had a tall white boy (Fundementally skilled player  ::)) since Novak (Kinsella and Fitzgerald do not count)!  Doesn't look like we recruit the same players after all.

As for them feeling so high on themselves about being such a prestigious university, they are full of themselves and sh!t.  I grew up on the east coast and with schools such as harvard, yale, cornell, georgetown, nyu, columbia (shall I continue)  not once was UW mentioned as being a prestigious university.  Im sorry but they really need to get over themselves already.  They are a state school and will never be as prestigious as schools like stanford, notre dame, duke.....  Thats just how it goes.  If you were from out of state and were smart enough to attend stanford or UW, I feel the choice is quite obvious and you would not be dwelling in the mid west.  Ok, Im done venting.  GO MARQUETTE.

Look throughout their board...most of their threads devolve into an anti-<insert school here>(MSU, UNC, Marquette, etc) or UW is superior to....

Big friggin deal, that is what fan boards are about, the FANATICs are to post their opinions about their favorite program.  MU has the same issues on their board(s).

I don't like uw basketball. Never will. But ido respect them and Bo as he is a good coach. Their fan base is not much different than ours to be honest. I tend to believe all are pretty same in that they hate the other in state schools and will bash others when given the chance. They sucked for a long time but are good now because of Bo. Yes they are boring as hell to watch and I for one would hate if we had their system nor would I ever want to play for them if I was a d1 baskeball player. But I respect their program.

As far as the anti buzz sentiments about dawson, there is no way that is true.

Skatastrophy and DiaperDandy, I have read dim comments here, especially about the University of Wisconsin at Madison, but yours could be the dimmest and the dumbest.

Skatastrophy writes, "Bo Ryan will die soon. ..." Skatastrophy also dismisses all University of Wisconsin at Madison students as "silly farm-boys," complete with a silly hyphen.

Huh and huh?

And from DiaperDandy: "As for them feeling so high on themselves about being such a prestigious university, they are full of themselves and sh!t. I grew up on the east coast and with schools such as harvard, yale, cornell, georgetown, nyu, columbia (shall I continue) not once was UW mentioned as being a prestigious university.

The preceding drivel from DiaperDandy is perhaps the most stupid comment I have read on this site. Ignorant and really embarrassing.

Becky fans are obsessed with anything but the game.  They obsess about Vander isn't any good, Buzz is evil, Bo is great, etc.

I analyze the game.  This year, it was Becky experience over MU lack of experience.  All the Becky fans I know obsess over how Marquette sucks.  It is pitiful.

What I'm asking is if you question the content or the grammatical correctness with which they are written.

While Bo still has some life left, I agree that Becky's superiority complex is a bit sad and ill-deserved. Listen, the school has some very good research facilities, but most of their student body never has any contact with any of that and doesn't get any better education than if they attended Marquette, Stevens Point, or Parkside. But because of a few Rose Bowls they think they are somehow superior to the rest of the state. That's sad and ignorant, and I'm pretty sure that was the only point ska was trying to make there.

As far as Dandy...well, in terms of the East Coast, no, I don't think anyone out there will start a conversation with Harvard and Yale, move on to Columbia and Cornell, and stop to discuss UW in the middle. They will never enter the conversation. Never. Never ever. Will not happen. Unless they stop to talk about college football. And even then, the people having this discussion would probably be more interested in the Harvard/Yale game than UW breaking through to the BCS. The reason people talk about an East Coast bias is because the vast majority of the East Coast focuses on...wait for it...the East Coast! UW is not on the East Coast, is not an Ivy League school (no matter how they delude themselves, and again, the delusional ones are NOT the ones benefiting from the places where UW actually can compare academically with the Ivy League), and simply doesn't have the history or pop culture presence to be regarded on the same level as a Harvard or Yale. Pop culture dictates that very few other schools can be mentioned in that breath. Duke. Notre Dame. Stanford. Maybe Chicago and Northwestern. Maybe. But just because there are (and I acknowledge that they exist) other schools that have certain programs that are on par with Ivies, that doesn't mean that anyone on the East Coast even knows or cares that they exist.

My guess is from an academic standpoint, most average East Coasters would expect Marquette to have better academics than Wisconsin because we are private and don't have a state name attached. In some programs, they'd be right. In general ed, they'd be wrong, we're pretty much even par. In research programs, they'd be wrong. But that doesn't change the perception that East Coast schools rule all, then non-EC privates, than dirty state schools. Again, perception doesn't make it so, but that doesn't mean that isn't the thought process.

When the original term "public Ivy" came out, they named eight schools that they felt fit this description.  (Since there are eight Ivy League Schools)

College of William & Mary (Williamsburg, Virginia)
Miami University (Oxford, Ohio)
University of California at Berkley
University of Michigan (Ann Arbor)
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
University of Texas at Austin
University of Vermont (Burlington)
University of Virginia (Charlottesville)

Since then, "Greene's Guide" came out with a new list of "public ivies" that includes UW-Madison...but along with 29 other schools.  Honestly, using that broad a definition, MU should start calling itself a "Catholic Ivy."

Don't expect to get any type of specific information from Chicos - he has a long history of vague, accusatory posts pertaining to the "squirmish" type of recruiting tactics Buzz Williams employs.  He relies on "inside sources," who are never revealed, etc.

The issues that most had, if any, were that for awhile it appeared Dawson might be headed to Marquette - and Izzo and others don't like losing out on a recruit.  And, for MU to land a 5-star like Dawson (MU MUST be doing something shady) - was the inference.

Thanks Brew city for making my point more clear.  You are correct about the perception out east of MU having better academics due to its status of being a private school.  State schools get a bad rap out here because they are public.  That's just the way it is.  I have nothing against state schools as they provide quality education for less than half the price of private universities, yet in terms of prestige, they just do not rank up there with the private schools.

Chico's is a very busy man (I think) and he does not have time for all these PMs!

Why don't you just post the details once on this board for all of us CHico's?

I don't want everyone to get all squirmy, but if Buzz is out there doing things that would violate the BYU honor code, we need to know.

I would like a pm if possible. Of course, posting it on the board could eliminate all these pm's  ;)

Chicos, count me in as one who'd appreciate a pm as well.

Well, if we're all lining up...I still say post it here. Saves time.

But I'd take a PM if that's impossible.

Has anyone received the PM from Chico's yet, with the specifics as to Buzz's shady recruitment of Brandon Dawson?

If so, please forward to me via PM.  Shockingly, I've not received anything.

I did send several PM's out...sorry Ners, you weren't included.  Too bad.  I responded to those that sent me a PM, not to those that responded in this thread.

I put the stipulation in my PM response about what I would share. Pretty simple.  Ners, you don't qualify.

But then Chicos wouldn't get the attention that he so desperately seeks. Having fake insider info is like being the prettiest girl at the ball!

It's ok, I wasn't determined worthy of the info either.

Chicos - Could I get the specifics as well?  Please PM to me.  Thanks.

Ners!  Here you are asking the man for a favor, yet in the next thread you will promptly stab him in the back!

Have you no shame, man???

There's a good deal of truth here.

And yet, my PM request was the 12th one in this thread.  That's a lot of interest shown for Chicos' "faked" information.

Ironic, isn't.  And I have responded to a few folks, the ones that aren't complete jags.  I'm sure they will vouch that I have, in private, responded to them.

No reason to believe it's fake, but you're kidding yourself if you don't think there's an element of attention grabbing going on.

You could very well be correct.  I honestly don't know.  But what if you are right?  If attention grabbing is what Chicos is doing, is putting up with that in exchange for information that no one else seems to have really so awful?

To those fortunate enough to have received a PM with the inside Scoop on Buzz's shady recruitment of Brandon Dawson, I'd appreciate it if you could forward to me via PM. 

I'm sure no specific sources are mentioned as to the information provided to Chicos, but it will still be interesting to read.  I have a feeling the coaching staff might enjoy reading what's being alleged, and I will forward to them for their take.

Just to bump this thread - could any of the several people that got PM's from Chicos pertaining to the shady recruitment of Brandon Dawson, by Buzz and staff, please forward to me?

I'm one of the "jags" not deemed worthy by Chicos, but hopefully one of those of you who have "received the inside information," can forward to me.

Boy, I bet those few folks who aren't complete jags (jags, yes, but not complete ones) will be forever grateful for your largesse.
