DAMNIT! Last night, someone stole the Marquette flag I've had flying in front of my house since October!
Time to round up all the Syracuse and Xavier fans in Whitefish Bay. >:(
Don't rule out Bucky!
This happened to me in 2003 after we beat Mizzou in OT. I live in KC so it was surely a Mizzou fan, and I haven't rooted for them since.
They cannot steal the Warrior Flag from the RA Smith Centre. I am sure Jumpin' Guy ordered it to fly at full staff today, in honor of our victory!!!

Keep an eye out on Craig's List. You will likely see it there.
Only one thing to do to retaliate. Buy ~20,000 of these bad boys make sure every house in Whitefish Bay is adorned properly ;D

Doubtful it will be on Craigslist .. it was pretty tattered after (only) 4 seasons .. but now I need to buy a new pole, too. >:(
.. Dunno why a Bucky fan would do it .. they are in the S16 too.
Maybe some disgruntled gambler who was pissed MU ruined their bracket!
Electrify it!

There's a CRIME SPREE in Whitefish Bay!
Mine was stolen a few years back, after we beat Bucky. It wasnt even that easy to snag, so someone was really determined.
I was/am pissed.
I'm flying one from my house. They are usually all UConn banners around here except for the family down the street from me that hangs a Syracuse banner.

Good. I lived three years in St. Louis. Mizzou fans are almost as bad, if not worse than Badger fans. Obnoxious, dumb, whole-state-supports-even-when-they-didn't-go-there, delusional pricks. I got into an argument with a Mizzou fan this weekend who GENUINELY thought that the Big 12 was a better conference than the Big East. Mind you, her Missouri Tigers just got run off a neutral floor by the 7th-place team in the Big East no more than 48 hours earlier.

Report it to the police. I'm sure the cops in whitefish bay will jump at the chance to do something other than pull people over for going 26 in a 25.

That's a pretty bogus statement, spoken from a guy who usually applies the touchdown rule to speed limits.

Your an officer in Whitefish Bay? No offense intended then i was just trying to point out that there isn't a whole lot of crime going on there. And as far as the 26 in a 25 I've had that happen a few times, so that may be the exception to the rule.

And he has your IP Address, and can trace it.
Look out, or this might be you.

Not a WFB officer, but I am a Trustee, so do receive the crime reports. Nipping people for a few mph over the speed limit isn't the norm. But you are correct, WFB is a very low crime municipality.
We have a meeting tonight. Pretty sure I'll be proposing stiff penalties for HOOLIGANS WHO STEAL MARQUETTE FLAGS!!!!

Haha I'll let my family know to keep an eye on their flags and to nab the dirty little thief.
Got a call at 3 a.m. from a friend next door to give his girlfriend a ride home. I got stopped doing 30 in a 25 in WFB and was taken to jail. Her dad had to bail me out. Then the cop wanted to talk about fishing while we waited I told him to FO.

Can't you use some of the village funds for this...seems like a good use of gov't funds to purchase everyone a flag.

Ummm they don't just take you to jail for doing 5 over. Something is missing from this story.
Mu_hilltopper---Would you like me to steal my neighbors flag for you?

What about the guy in Harold and Kumar in the jail cell? He did nothing.

if you're a trustee, you should also propose a resolution recognizing MU's achievements this year.
Even living out in the rough streets of the Lake Country, I never felt comfortable leaving my flag out over night. I was more worried about punk teenagers. I always brought it in before going to bed. It was a pain, but those flags aren't exactly cheap.

Heavens no, thou shalt not steal from a fellow Warrior brother!
I'll swing by the Warrior Shoppe after work and pick up a replacement, plus a S16 t-shirt, if they have 'em in yet.

We were discussing Sweet 16 T shirts on the way back from Vegas last night. Can anyone post what they look like when they go on sale? I need to fill up some gift baskets.
See the corresponding thread titled "Sweet 16 shirts." They are on sale now at the spirit shop online
What brand of flags do fellow Scoopers fly?
Where did you get them?

I've got the $32.95 flag except it has a white background.
Get the flag on the site listed above, not the spirit shop. The similar spirit shop flag is more expensive and only has the logo on one side. I have the spirit shop flag (gift from the wife) and it looks stupid.
I have a flag flying all year round in Tosa. It's either the MU flag in basketball season, my Nebraska flag in football season or the Cubs L flag in baseball season.
