Title: Deep
Post by: The Lens on March 03, 2012, 06:34:01 PM
A fun (typical) thing to do for MU fans is talk about how our big man has a limp or how our SF can't shoot but the bottom line is, we're good. We have probably 5 guys who will play in the NBA.  

With Gardner back we're at least 7 deep before we bust out the reserves.

This team WILL do something special and I'm about to put my money where my mouth is...

MU with EITHER play on Saturday in the BET or play in the Regional Finals (Elite 8).

If neither happens, all you guys have $250 on my credit card on an agreed night at Three Lions.

Something special is about to happen, so get on board.  If it doesn't we'll at least get drunk and since I was brought up in the Mike Deane tradition, that aint't all bad either.

Go MU.

I'd love to see us get back to the Sweet 16 with an opponent we can match up with better.  I do agree this year we have a little swagger with DJO and Jae.  It's still gonna be pretty tough to outdo what we did last year in the tournament.

Where's the Three Lions? A Chicago guy talking here,but I'm pretty sure I know every Milwaukee bar worth a hoot and I don't know Three Lions. So where's it at?

MU bar in the near north (Milwaukee) suburb of Shorewood.  They have a MU shuttle so I figure I would patronize them.

How about if either DOES happen we get $250 on you.  Seems like more of a win-win that way.

Just as long everybody doesn't freak out and throw the team under the bus if they lose in the 1st weekend.

Let's see, if you're still using the fake ID you used in HS, it would show you as being 86, right?

Thank you Lens, I'm in.  I propose one addendum to the bet.  Should we shudder(!) actually win, there will be no belly aching about the year allowed.  Just toasts to a gritty team we were lucky enough to have to cheer on, and optimistic looks ahead to the next few years.

Agreed...but if it does pay out, I'm there. Three Lions is a nice little pub.

Who on Earth are the 5 guys that are going to play in the NBA?  Crowder and DJO are not locks (neither will be drafted in the first round), probably 60/40 that they'll play in the league, and maybe J Wilson if he improves a ton.  Who are the other 2?

Vander Blue and Todd Mayo
