Poll
Question:
Who wins?
Option 1: Bucky
votes: 48
Option 2: Duke
votes: 116
I thought a formal poll was in order.
I picked Duke
The badgers had a great run. Any longer and it will be cruel. Im not even wishing them ill-will because its still good press for the sport in wisconsin, its just getting annoying with all the taunts against MUBB.
If I knew any Wisconsin-Madison fans who were fans of the team 25 years ago when I was rooting for Tony Smith and Trevor Powell, I'd be genuinely happy for them. But I don't. So Let's Go Duke.
BTW, despite what our esteemed state media is saying, Wisconsin-Madison is a FAVORITE in the game.
Pulling for Duke, but this just feels like 1991 when Duke beat UNLV and won their first title two days later. Unfortunately for us, it's UW-Madison is playing Duke, Bo is playing K, and Frank Kaminsky is playing the ugliest possible version of Christian Laettner.

Or it's like four years ago also in Lucas oil when Duke was playing Butler, who was in their second championship game.
Duke won.

Nah, that was Butler's first. Their second was the next year against UConn.
There's no way the worst possible season ends with a shred of mercy.
Suggested edit to the poll:

* I would not like to be banned from MUScoop
For the love of God Duke.
My badger hate already cost me my bracket.
I put in two brackets this year - one with Villanova winning over Kentucky (for my bro), and one with Duke winning over Wisconsin ('cuz I hate Kentucky slightly more than I hate Wisconsin).
The Duke bracket still lives.
Go Duke.
I can't bbelieve it's this close 70-30

It doesn't ask who we're cheering for, it asks who we think will win.
More disturbing is the @MarquetteU Twitter poll that has 78% cheering for Wisconsin.

LOL. I've been swayed!
A Marquette grad in my office is wearing red and seriously asked me why I'm wearing an MU polo today. What has the world come to?

I believe that's when you tell him to eat a dick.
Builds office rapport.

My wife (MU '93) is cheering for UW. She's like, "Cmon, you've lived in Wisconsin for long enough, you should get on the bandwagon."
My reply: "So, say you lived in Poland back in 1943 and Germany invaded 4 years ago. Do you just switch teams? Hey, these German guys are OK, and they're kicking ass and taking names. I'ma gonna start cheering for Germany!"
No, you do not. You are mortal enemies forever. The end.
Did I lose the argument because I (aptly) compare UW to Hitler? No I did not.
I have a hard time cheering for Wisconsin in anything.
First, hats off to Bo Ryan and the Badgers. You've accomplished something special.
Secondly, I hope the road ends in Indianapolis tonight. Against Kentucky, they were playing a young talented team that didn't have maturity.
Tonight they have Coach K on the other bench.
I was the only Kentucky fan in a room of MU and UW alum on Saturday night. I am holding fast.

Agree completely.
At least my wife understands when I say that cheering for Bucky is as unlikely as me cheering for the Bears
I am in law school at UW (forgive me), and my girlfriend is a UW alum...mostly because of her I have tried and tried, but I cannot bring myself to cheer for the badgers. I got into an argument with her once about MU vs. WI...she took all the typical WI elitist points and I ended up telling her she is the reason I can't cheer for WI (oops).
Side note: I am sitting in class right now wearing my MU apparel in a sea of red - wish me luck.
Cheered for Kentucky vs Wisco... But then my dad pulled the "I'd love to see WI win a championship before I die..." line on me... So for the love of family, go Bucky.

Be strong. Good will triumph over evil.
Is this poll who do I think will win or who do I want to win?
Could be two different answers.
Reverse jinx for the 30%.

No, you are just callous for going there, way to compare a fun sport with a life or death type of allegiance.

I see no holes in that argument whatsoever.
Also, I laughed.

What office is this? We must protest.
Go Duke. I want a blowout.

I took it as the former, which is why I voted Bucky. I will, of course, be cheering for Duke as though UW-Madison is the evil Space Jam aliens trying to subjugate the human race.

Haha the badgers are more of the tune squad than the Monstarz. I hope they got new referee's for this one.

No way. Frank Kaminsky is totally the guy that stole ugly, awkward Shawn Bradley's powers.
