I was curious when the next sell-out type game would occur for MU.
Some believe the UWM game will be this huge sell-out for Milwaukee.
The students generally don't fill the upper deck student sections for anything but big games. Will UWM be a big game to them?
Will freshman think it's a big game? Sophomores? Clearly, many on the internet forums know the crap that's gone back and forth between the two schools .. but does the average student know it? Will they think it's a big game, and fill the upper deck?
Or will it be another ho-hum OOC game, where only the 27th best student section in the country shows up?
-
People from the Milwaukee area will be there cuz we know how much fun it is to take a big dump on UWM. Most people that aren't from around here won't see it as a big game. I think it will also depend on the hype the Athletic office puts out for it and if they have any promos going along with it, which i doubt.
-
This is my take: as if anyone cares.
I hope MU has a real chip one thier shoulder about this game for the next 5 years. I would hope every student is their in full force and I hope the Mecca is a sea of gold when we play over there. I hope Crean and the players have a chip on their shoulder's as well. Starters stay in until less than a minute left and anything that could be construed as a competetive game is the singular focus to not let occur. After the way UW-m has slapped us around in the media it is high time they get what they asked for. I am not from Wisconsin but it is my sincere hope that we beat these pricks 5 times by a combined score of over 200 points, run our record against them to 40-0 or whatever it would be and then amend the MU constitution to never play them again!
Thay got this one coming!

i completely agree with you. there is alot of responsibility placed upon the shoulders of the athletic department. i have seen alot of flyers this year for both the men's and women's soccer teams, which are advertising cookouts and other game day activities. if the athletic dept promotes it, alot of students will show up. the freshmen will respond if they see the promos. by the time sophomore year comes, you realize that every game is a big game

I didn't even know there was such a place as UW-Milwaukee when I first attended Marquette. I doubt out-of-state students will care.

I couldn't agree more, Harrison. Great post.

Iagree it was the same way for me. Addtionally even the locals will say " Oh, UW-M , they suck why go"
Also most freshman and maybe even sophomores are not aware of all the BS UWM has pulled and the baiting by Pearl and the AD etc. Maybe a nice article in the MU Tribune during the week leading up to it with the chronology and all the BS and quotes etc. I dont just want fans there I want pissed off fans there!! And a pissed off Crean and a pissed off team!!

Agree with most of you. This game will hold more meaning for us that are from Milwaukee and were around here when UWM had their little run, and proceeded to run their mouths non stop.
MUFAN12, if you are out there....You know EXACTLY what I am talking about!!!
Harrison...great idea bout the article in the Tribune. As for quotes, how about this one:
"The value of our program needs to be recognized." -Bud Haidet, UWM AD.
WHAT A JOKE!!!
Along with an article like that, I would hope the Athletic Dept. promotes this game, just so we can have a packed, loud student section letting UWM know that they dont belong.
As for the players, alot of their motivation should come from Crean. I highly doubt that DJ, Jerel, or any of the players from out of state, really give a damn about UWM and the garbage they pulled before they got here. Im sure TC will have a little extra pep in his step (on top of what he already brings) leading up to that game and hopefully that "pissed-off-ness" rubs off on the team and they take it to the Pink Panthers.
Frankly, we cant win by enough IMO. I want to run them off the court, back to their dump... and I assume that most Milwaukee residents/MU diehards feel the exact same way.
-
The only thing I'd change about your post, Harrison, is that I don't want our starters in the game at all. I want to start all our walk-ons and reserves, and stomp them with our scrubs by 100 points.
I don't even want to start 5 guys. 4 should be plenty.

I want 3 starters, Fr. Kelly and the good looking blonde dance team girl to start, play 40 minutes, and whoop them by 100. 8)
Of course, all of the badger fans that have been clamoring for the game should be willing to pay top dollar to anyone with tickets for sale, since, you know, it's good for college basketball in WI. ::)
-
For those you you who don't know, the US Cellular Arena used to be known as the Mecca. 8)
-
I'm not from WI either, and while I knew there was a UWM when I came here... I didn't really know anything about the school.
Anyways, as far as students getting into the rivalry... I'm sure there will be some stuff in the local media that will probably trickle down to the team and students (on both teams).
I don't think the game will be a sell-out, but given the geography, it would be silly to think that this game won't have some increased interest from everybody (students, alumni, media, etc.).
I know that this isn't considered a "real rivalry" by some people, but nevertheless, I think the proximity of the 2 schools makes it very interesting. AND IF UWM ever beats MU, the rivalry will really be on.
-
I too did not know of UWM's existence prior to coming to Marquette…until, that is, I dated a girl there. Didn't think much of the place other than it was your typical city community college (later realizing it was a 4-year type), that they were on the same side of town as the coffee trader, a bike shop I liked, and some place that made gi-normous burritos. Never really had a negative feel for the place; people seemed nice, down to earth, with little or no interest in sports in general.
I guess what surprised me was with a little BB success along came some pretty virulent criticism of Marquette, it's students and athletic program(s). What surprised me was how pissed off some of these folks on the message boards were and that I never noticed it in my years at MU. Have things changed since I left MKE in the 90s, does the average U-WM student really hate MU that much? Or is it just localized to a handful of message board crashing fools (who have been noticeably absent as of late)?
Nevertheless, I agree with Harrison's post…smash the crap out of them...take their women.
-
I'll say this .. prior to UWM's brief rise in post-season play .. I lived near a couple girls in Shorewood .. they'd gone to other UW@location schools .. they really applied bad stereotypes to Marquette students/alums. The typical stuff, stuck-up, rich-boys, better than everyone else. Disappointing.

1 for 3 ain't horrible... at least they ended on a truthful note ;)

I wouldn't hold out much hope for a lot UWM alum's at the game. I think most of them work second shift at Subway.
-
what they should do for this game is to let everyone with a MU student ID in for free. i think it would be a slap in the face of uwm.

This only works if the IDs are actually swiped. For the men's soccer game @ UWM last year, I used a friend's UWM ID from when he went there for a year, put my thumb over the picture, and strolled on in. Then I passed the ID off to another buddy through a fence or something, and so on down the line of 7 people.
EDIT: I hope we win by 500.
-
I don't see the game as being anywhere close to a sellout...hope I am wrong...but just don't see it.
Ran into Sheriff Chambliss?(spell check) at the golf course...played at UW ..anyways I was talking with him and Coach Jeter called and he kept telling the coach to hold on whilst we finished some business...wished him well for the upcoming season..they have alot of newcomers and young players..didn't talk much of the Marquette game but I just don't see it selling out with the competion where its at...as a UWM alum I don't see the game as anything worth seeing. Just my opinion.

Just a thought, but statements like that may be what give people the negative idea of MU that hilltopper referenced. When it gets down to it, aside from the difference in perception that the two degrees receive, do you really think there's any difference between what is taught? No matter what school you're at you're going to learn exactly the same thing in most classes. Calculus is calculus last time I checked. There isn't going to be a whole lot of difference in what students are learning. The difference comes much in the perception of the degree and the accessibility of those perceived "better" degrees. I can think of a few former Marquette students who are working at Subway or some such "lesser" pursuit.
-
Blasphemer! You are banned.
-
UWM is going to be a LOT better than they were last year. They will almost certainly be bigger across the front line. I suspect a win, but do not think it will be any kind of blowout.
-
Yes, the degree is 4x's better because while you can 'teach' things to students... it's the 'learning' that makes MU better.
If you don't believe me, challenge the statement of MU vs. UWM business/consulting started in specific fields. I can 100% guarantee you that UWM isn't close. I'd best NIU is closer.

I'm not sure I fully understand your challenge statement but I'm going to take a stab at it. My basic point above was that, the material taught is going to be close to identical from school to school. If this is the case I believe that a business started by an alum of MU would be just as successful if that SAME student had graduated from UWM. It takes a certain mentality to have a successful business and I can't believe that that mentality is taught. That driven student at MU who's goal is to start a successful business would receive the same education at UWM and probably be able to start the same business because he/she is driven and has that goal to start with. This is not to belittle MU experiences. There is much that MU offers outside the classroom that UWM cannot, however, to lessen the quality of an UWM education seems short-sighted.
I would like to qualify these statements because I have no solid grounds from which to state that the taught material is the same. This is all stipulation on my part. If it turns out that there actually are distinct differences between class material than my argument goes out the window.
-
As far as I know MU has a core curiculum that is very much liberal arts based. Even if you are in engineering or business you need to take certain core courses that provide a basis for a more well rounded individual. That was the way it was when I went to undergrad at MU and I believe it still is like that. Again, I know almost nothing about UWM (and care even less to be honest) but many state schools have abondoned the notion of a core curiculum (which focuses on creating a well rounded graduate) instead these other schools allow the student to design his own curiculum (outside the major). In other words, other universities, and UWM may be one of them, think it is wise for 18 and 19 year old kids to pick and choose what they think is important to learn outside their declared major. MU, on the other hand, thinks there is a certain base of knowledge that should be learned and certain values that should be instilled regardless of what the declared major is.
I personally think MU has it right and as a result the graduate of MU is better equipped and more balanced when faced with many situations that arise in life. I would expect the well rounded liberal education produces better leaders who can think "outside the box." That is just MHO.
-
I didn't even know there was such a place as UW-Milwaukee when I first attended Marquette. I doubt out-of-state students will care.
Exactly. I never even heard of UWM. This is a much bigger deal for people from Milwaukee than those of us who are from out of state.

As opposed to statements like this quoted on the UWM board:
http://uwmfreak.proboards5.com/index.cgi?board=Games&action=display&thread=1190391689
You can't be offended by an MU crack on UWM and not be offended by a UWM crack on MU. If you're going to be serious on the subject spend some time on another site and police the words. If you're not going to be serious, let it go.
-
The difference is what that person said on UWM's board was simply a joke...he wasn't being serious since it obviously can't be said for all MU Grads. The reason MU graduates, students, and fans get a bad reputation is because there are 1 or 2 out of 10 who make the school appear to be stuck-up. The majority of you are great people I'm sure, but there's always that 1 to make a fool of themselves. Every school/team has them...for some reason you've gotten a bad rap for it...coincidence? who knows...
Back to the point of this thread. I think this will really be a good game. I would be very disappointed as a UWM fan if we got blown out, but I don't think that will be the case. UWM has a lot of talent on their roster whether you believe it or not and I know there are a lot of people who are really looking forward to this game...players included.
Good Luck
-
I'm not from the area and I've heard there is bad blood between the schools but can somebody fill in me and anybody else who isn't aware of the situation. What exactly has happened b/t the schools in the last few years and what are some of the quotes everybody is getting upset over? Any info would be great

I think MU gets a bad rap because it appears like "rich kids" coming from out of state and acting like they are better then a lot of people.
It's obviously a stereotype... so most likely it applies to some people from MU, but certainly not all... and hopefully not the majority.
The stereotype for UWM is probably more of a slacker type who is just in school to smoke weed and play frisbee. Again, it probably applies to some UWM students/alums, but certainly not all.
To say that all MU students and alums are stuck up is inaccurate, and to think that all UWM students/alums are slackers or unintelligent is inaccurate as well.
With that said, I hope MU slaughters UWM.

I was simply attempting to present some general thoughts on the topic. The fact that it was directed at MU is because that is where my affiliation lies. I had never been on the UWM site until you linked it because I am not a UWM fan. I am an MU fan and student and simply presented the thought about the comment because as hilltopper and 2002mualum pointed out, there is a stereotype about MU students being stuck up rich kids. I wasn't trying to police anyone, but simply present some thoughts for consideration by a community that I consider myself a part of.
-
I think it's all in jest. I'm not really sure why people wax so lyrical about the topic. There doesn't seem to be any genuine dislike between the campuses in the real world except for isolated pockets here and there. It all seems a creation of the internets.
Then again, as students the viewpoint is different and maybe the climate has changed dramatically in the last few years.
-
It was internet, but wait the UWM Post editorial board wrote an article bashing Marquette.
-
the one thing i found amusing about the UWM board is when someone said they'd gladly fill any empty seats in the BC...they can't even fill the Cell for home games let alone get a decent amount of students to show up for the games. Just found that amusing. And the fact that some of their fans actually think they have a fighting chance against one of the best backcourts in the nation and a very, very deep bench. I hope that they at least put up somewhat of a fight but I honestly don't see it happening.
-
UW-M was referred to as "the dash" when I was at MU, and seemed to accommodate those unable to enter UW-Madison. I belonged to an athletic club that had about 20% uwm members..., good guys. I actually think the school should sever all ties from UW-madison, and change it's name to University of Milwaukee (especially as their Chancellor is on a huge $100 million campaign to start satellite schools). Were Bruce Pearl still there, and recruiting as he was, I would have some trepidation re the upcoming game. As it is, I hope we crush both the panthers and the baadjrs.
-
All "comic exaggerations" aside...
The UWM athletic department (maybe administration) and a handful of fans have been trying so hard to create a rivalry between our two schools where none had ever existed. Rivalry implies some semblance of equal footing…which never existed before in academic reputation or athletics. First was all that posturing by their athletic department played out in the press to force a series, then a handful of their fans decided to crash the MU fan boards to talk trash and berate Marquette, it's athletic program, curriculum and students.
For years we ignored them, now that their basketball program finally gained some degree of respectability (I've never bothered to check into their academic standing) and we still ignored them. So they decided to pick a fight. I'm sure they are loving the fact that we are dedicating thread time to their cause, but 34 posts in an entire year of thousands a rivalry does not make...for the most part we still ignore them.
If they happen to win one in the series then a rivalry will be born and move from a minor message board squabble to fights in the stands. Until then I expect our guys to make sure this NEVER happens…EVER. In fact, I'll be the first to call for Crean's head if we loose to these guys. They'll get their fight, a MU win should keep them quiet.

Actually other than men's (and recently) woment's BB, UWM does well in head to head competitions against MU in just about every sport. Now I'd call that a rivalry.
I don't think anyone can say either school is inferior academically. It dependson what field of study you're looking at. Each school has its strengths and its weaknesses.
Far from "working at Subway," UWM grads hold many great positions in Milwaukee including the CEO's of Harley Davidson and M&I Bank.
And it's worth pointing out that UWM did not ask for this series. It was offered by Tom Crean. In fact, the Panthers say they didn't even know about the offer until they read the JS article where Crean said the deal was done with UWM and UW-GB.
Let's have a good game and a fun series.

I think rivalry can exist between participants on those athletic teams you mentioned, but we all know they are very lightly attended by each respective student body. I'm talking full on D-1, front page news, general student body marking off the date on their calendars rivalry...which doesn't exist...yet anyway.
Academic-wise you are probably right regarding specific strengths and weaknesses. I'm sure a math major at U-WM is going to perform just as well as a MU math major when it comes down to it, but much of the job market makes perception reality…MU is perceived to be the more selective, respected school, therefore its alumni are a much more attractive hire. It all sorts out in the end anyway based on performance, but I can unequivocally tell you in my career field my company flat out uses my Marquette and Hopkins degrees as selling points to a prospective customer.
Getting back to rivalry, my point simply is that there was virtually no rivalry between the two schools. While I'm mildly irritated at the UWM's efforts to "pick a fight" I don't fault UWM for doing so. I personally hope a major basketball rivalry goes no where because it means we've lost a game to UWM…which any sports writer in the country would characterize as a big set back for a program that is trying to compete with the Dukes and Georgetowns of the world. I can't fault you because if MU was able to do the same (create a true rivalry) with say Duke, then we could claim we're amongst the nation's elite.

As for any rivalry, that will be determined over the course of the next 5 seasons.
As for perceptions about the students of MU, I have several friends who are alums, and others who are fans. All are good people, whom I consider close friends.
Unfortunately I also have too many personal experiences with the "snobby MU student/alums" to count, as well. Thus the stereotype.
My beef has always been centered around a stuck up AD (Billy Boy Cords) and an overrated coach (Unfrozen Caveman Basketball Coach, Tommy SchottenCrean). They both labor under the delusion that they are a national powerhouse on the strength of their conference affiliation. That strikes me as odd, since Rutgers and South Florida are in that same conference.
The "we're in the Big Est, so we are a powerhouse" reasoning always stuck me as a bit faulty. Not unlike the manager of the football team in HS wearing his letter jacket and passing himself off as a member of the team. Sure, he was in a sense, but he shouldn't be confused with the 300 lb. guards, either.
Let's not forget that every conference has it's "Northwesterns", even the Big East.
MU fans, a friendly word of caution: Be aware that if things do not go well for your program, you may become another Northwestern. I hope it doesn't happen, because 3 good programs in the state is good for everyone, but I hope you are vigilant and aware that it is a possibility.
As for education, almost every intelligent business person and professional now recognizes that the name on the diploma is no indication of the talent of the individual holding it. There are losers with degrees from Harvard, and superstars with degrees from schools you've never heard of.
To rely on the strength of your school's reputation alone (or nearly alone) indicates a lack of confidence in your own intelligence and ability. I would hope that none of you fall into that category.
Best of luck to your team, and may the best team win.

You're a genius. You're doing a great job of defending the UWM intelligence.

The "we're in the Big East, so we are a powerhouse" reasoning always stuck me as a bit faulty.
It's not the fact that we're in the BIG EAST, it's the fact that we've pretty much dominated the BIG EAST since entering the conference. We hold one of the best conference records since the conference expanded. That's something that South Florida and Rutgers cannot claim. More of the same will happen this year. Trust me, we are far from turning into Northwestern, as our university actually cares enough to have a dominate athletics program.
The jealously/penis envy coming from the east-side of Milwaukee is so thick you can cut it with a knife. Don't fret, though - UWM has a great architecture program. ;D

Oh my God, did that guy really think that I thought that was Bruce Pearl. :o
OMG. Nice job Nighthawk, you did all the heavy lifting for me. Congratulations.
This will be a 3 game series and then we cut ties. Count on it.

And after this, the 3 game series record will be what???????
For the record Cords is no longer the AD.
UWM will feel the pain when Marquette fills up the Mecca for a 'Heritgage' type game against the 'home' team UWM. Yeah, right. I'm looking more forward to a return trip to the Mecca than anything else out of this series with the eastsiders.

Who's that fran guy that started that thread?
;D
By the way, want to see Bruce Pearl's latest talent, apparently it gets Pat Summit all hot.

Again the vaunted Marquette education fails Chico. :)
One click would have confirmed that this isn't Bruce Pearl.
His name is Jerry Phillips and he's been on Jimmy Kimmel doing his thing.

MU fans, a friendly word of caution: Be aware that if things do not go well for your program, you may become another Northwestern. I hope it doesn't happen, because 3 good programs in the state is good for everyone, but I hope you are vigilant and aware that it is a possibility.
3 Good Programs?
UW
MU
UWM??
You caution MU fans that they shouldn't buy too much into their own hype, but then you claim something about 3 good programs. I like what UWM has done... but it has a long way to go and an uphill battle before it can you can consider it a good program.
2 recent NCAA runs doesn't make a program. Whether you like it or not, MU has decades of sucess, and thus people will always think highly of the program.
