Tough break, @UWMadison. There's still room on our bandwagon if you'd like to climb aboard. #mubb
Wow.
BURN.
Oh, also...does this mean Bo STILL hasn't beaten
a higher seed?

He's beaten 1. In his entire career
Yeesh, probably a bit too far there.
That's pretty funny.

Which?
The tweet. I rooted against them the whole game, but if Madison tweeted us like that after a loss to Davidson we would have been extremely judgmental. I can see that from kids but from a twitter representing all of MU, I don't like it.

I think it's fantastic.
And I hope they tweet another out tomorrow night at 22.03.

I'm sure they would have tweeted MU in the same fashion. And I'm sure we'd all be up in arms about it. Just like I'm sure Bucky's fans are right now... If they're not already passed out from drinking the pain away.
The two Twitter accounts when back and forth before this years and game last years tournament.
It's pretty routine now.
And Jameel McKay just tweeted this:
Man being from the city u lucky if u get a letter from Wiscinsin so no I don't feel bad for them and I'm glad they lost #Mubb
LOL. Rivalries are fun!!!
And Duane Wilson this:

Incidentally, if you're from the city and you get a letter from the
State of Wisconsin, that's not lucky at all.

Priorities man.
To be fair, the two schools do go back and forth in a friendly way over stuff like this. And I think they meant it that way now.
Whoa put the bookmark down and back away from the thread. We're all MU fans here.

Last time I looked, Looney was not a traditional player and Bo would give both nuts for his commit.
I doubt those nuts hold much value anymore.
This gets even better.
Duane Wilson is going back and forth with some doofus that goes to Whitewater who just said "He (Devin Harris) fit perfectly into Bo Ryan's system. Something most milwaukee kids would have a hard time getting used to"
And Duane pretty much owned him from then on...my goodness. The last 24 hours have been a lot of fun.
Pretty funny stuff by Duane Wilson. The "Vander transferred" bit was pure gold.
For those of us who don't tweet, can you post some of this?

I hope Bucky never recruits Milwaukee kids. All are welcome at MU.
Called this upset.

Makes you wonder if D Wilson Jr is bringing this up in Stone's ear as well. He seems pretty set in this opinion. For our sake, I'd hope so.

Duane didn't say it... he just retweeted it. That being said, he has to at least a little bit think it or he wouldn't have retweeted it.

This. Buzz has had an edge in state with inner city kids. Would be different in recruiting if say a Stu Jackson was recruiting for uw. Nice niche going right now for MU

Agree. We would be totally up in arms about it. Not good sportsmanship and it only rubs people the wrong way. We wonder why so many people in Wisconsin already hate MU, stuff like this doesn't help.
Act like we've won before. I know it's in good fun, but many people don't know that so it looks like it is just rubbing noses in the dirt.

I know the guy that runs the @MarquetteU twitter account. If he's posting this, I'm guessing it's because he know the @UW guy pretty well, and it looks meaner than it is.
That might not excuse it—perception is everything—but I'm nearly confident it isn't malicious.

adds a little spice to the rivalry. MU's program was built on off color comments it seems with AL...kinda fitting.
And yes we'd be going nuts if it was UW but thems the shakes.

I agree with you here, if you've followed the banter between MU's and UW's twitter official twitter accounts this is definitely within the acceptable realm (they know what their boundaries are). It's about creating a buzz and followers and talk. If MU tweeted at UW "great season sorry you lost" and they hug it out do you know what you have??? nothing... now, more followers, more tweets, more social media exposure.
To follow this up, UW just tweeted this...
We're sending #SconniePact love to @marquetteu on #mubb game day. #OnWisconsin #MarchMadness
So MU's tweet was obviously never that big of a deal.
Perhaps the powers that be within the SID''s are classier than the denizens of the message boards.

The Director of Social Media at MU is one of my closest friends from MU. I sent him a link to this thread, and he said that they've gotten a lot of response about that tweet--but also 150 new followers because of it. He also passed along this story that tells a little bit of the background of the whole situation: http://www.marquette.edu/magazine/recent.php?subaction=showfull&id=1354568400
