Best picture ever.

Buck the Fadgers!

Get a load of Hank on this photo!

Get a load of the classy Mr. Hughes (father of twin dorks Kim and Kerry) giving Al the finger.

What year was the pix again?

Who's going?  I'll be there!

Go Warriors!!

Ruck the Fodents.

1974

Gotta think John Powless just crapped his Depends, hey?

Ha, that's been my desktop for years. I f'in hate the rodents. I still mumble f the Badgers to my self every time I see someone wearing rodent gear.

Just mumble? I've done it out loud especially when intoxicated and especially after the loss to Northwestern this year.

Well...my girl says I don't know how to whisper. It's somewhere above a mumble to outside observers.

Great Pic the captures the era well. Although the Badgers had nothing back then, their coach John Powless is the number one ranked tennis player in the US in the  80 year old division today.

Someone bought my 10-year-old son a Final Four Tee from last year... without my knowledge.  I proceeded to soak it in lighter fluid and burn it with my son cheering gleefully (not to mention my enjoyment).

Found this ....

MU wins at Bucky 59-58 on the last shot of the game during a February 1974 game in the UW field-house.

Al jumps on the table to "salute" the Bucky fans.  Notice Hank behind him (right), is that the most animated Hank has ever been?  In the foreground is a dejected Bucky coach John Powless. (FYI - John is still around and one of the best age group senior tennis players in the country.)

Look closely to the left of Al, the guy giving him the finger.  That is Glenn Hughes, the father of Bucky players Kim and Kerry Hughes (twins).  Kim Hughes was a Bucky star and a solid NBA player.  He is currently an assistant for Portland, and close with Wes Matthews.

Looks a little like Henry Ellenson. 

Just Hope he dresses (and plays) better than Butch.

Don't know how to post pics in the thread so I attached it.  Any help?

It's a great picture and wonderful story. But just curious ...

If Wisconsin beats us Saturday on a last-second shot and Bo jumps up on the scorer's table to salute our fans who had been giving him crap all game long, would it be un-classy for us to give Bo the finger?

Or would it be required?!?!?!?

The game Al stood on the table was played at the Milwaukee Arena.The Badgers actually had a very good team that year.The Hughes twins both 6'11",Dale Koehler 6'8" and guards Gary Anderson 6'5" and Marcus McCoy 6'6".I believe they finished 4th in the Big Ten that year.

Right you are Aircraft. And I believe the Badgers were nationally ranked at the time the game was played.

Some of the references here are a little dated, but it is still freakin' funny:

No fan should be allowed out of the Bradley without giving Bucky the one finger salute. It is after all, to signify that they are number 1 in our hearts. It would be classy, memorable, appropriate, and a no brainer.

And Bo deserves to be given crap all game long, and before and after the game also.

And speaking of crap, didn't the Packers leave bags of crap in the visitor's dressing room when the Bears came to town back in the 80's? Now that was the height of elegance and class.

Yes they were ranked #16 on January 29, 1974

http://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/schools/wisconsin/1974-schedule.html

This was the first season since 1962/1963 they were ranked.

http://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/schools/wisconsin/1963-schedule.html

MU beat them, Al jumped on the table, and the next week they fell out of the rankings.

UW basketball would not be ranked again until the 1993/1994 season under Stu Jackson

http://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/schools/wisconsin/1994-schedule.html

That's 19 straight seasons without a ranking.  Also 1994 was the first time they made the NCAA tourney since 1947. (remember it was a much smaller field back then).

Bottom line, Buckys loss to MU that day killed their program for nearly 20 years!

While the chances of it happening are south of 50%, we need to have payback for the way the Rodents humiliated us last year.

Hoping for the improbable to happen.

We need to repeat that this year.

How can I start badger hate week 2014 when badger hate week 2013 never ended.

We don't need no stinking badgers!

There is nothing but upside for the Warriors here.

If we get blown out, it's what everyone was expecting.

If it is a reasonably competitive game, it is going to make the Badgers look bad, even if they win.

Why wait until the game's over to give Bo the finger?

If Bucky doesn't beat us by 9+, I think we should be chanting "Omaha's better than you!"

That way we can let them know they suck even if we lose.

I almost got tossed from the Bradley Center last year simply for asking Greg McDermott if the money he saved on Doug's tuition went to playing the refs. Doubt they would appreciate giving Bo the finger.

When I was the mascoting, a guy from a company that made mascot stuff came to the Al to talk about ways to rehab the Golden Eagle costume (new jersey, less padding in areas, different helmet in head, etc.).  Anyway that guy was the one in the Bucky costume who got tackled.  

So the guy getting tackled went into mascot sales as his profession.

Shrinkage long ago made pants unnecessary...

We all know Bo Ryan is the product of an orgy between a couple of zombies, a vampire, and the Grinch....what's not to hate?

May do a live blog on waiting in line for the Wisconsin game if anybody would be interested in that sort of thing.

You should have asked him why a school with football doesn't have a mascot that break a tackle.  He went down like a rock.

This is a joke that I have heard as a Steelers fan in reference to Cleveland hate, but its just as easy to change the team names as done below (and as I'm sure whoever told me the joke did themselves)

A Marquette fan is driving home from work one late cold evening and notices a priest walking alongside the road in the cold.  Being a good Samaritan, the Marquette fan pulls over and offers the priest a ride home.  The priest accepts and jumps in the car.  As the drive continues, the Marquette fan notices a guy wearing a Badger sweatshirt walking the other direction.  Thinking he would have a little fun, the Marquette fan decides to swerve over the side of the road a bit to give the Badger fan a scare. 

The driver swerves over, and at the last second pulls back onto the road.  However, only planning to scare the Badger fan and not hit him, he still heard a loud thud.  He says out loud, "Oh, I thought I missed the Badger fan!"  The priest responds, "Don't worry, I pulled open the door and got him"

or this one:

A  Badger fan and a Marquette fan are driving on I-94 one day and by a freak accident have a head-on collision with each other with tremendous force.  Both cars are totally demolished but amazingly neither of the drivers has a scratch on him. After they crawl out of their cars, the MU fan sees the other driver's Bucky sweatshirt and says, "So you're a WI fan.  I'm an MU fan. Just look at our cars. There is nothing left, yet we are here unhurt. This must be a sign from God!"
Pointing to the sky, he continues, "God must have meant that we should meet and share our lives in peace and friendship for the rest of our days on earth."  The WI fan replies, "I agree with you completely. This must surely be a sign from God!"  The Warrior is looking in the trunk of his car and exclaims, "And look at this! Here's another miracle! My car is completely demolished, but this bottle of 18 year old Laphroaig did not break. Surely, God wants us to drink this scotch to celebrate our good fortune."  The WI fan nods in agreement.  The Warrior hands the bottle to the Badger, who drinks half the bottle and hands the bottle back to the Warrior who takes the bottle and immediately puts the cap on, then hands it back to the Badger. The Badger, baffled, asks, "Aren't you having any?"  The reply, "Nah... I think I'll wait   for the police."

The only school I can think of to have a greater hate woody for is No Dick. Wisconsin is second, and then they all fall off--maybe Syracuse because Baywhine is their coach.
