Wally's gonna be eligible next season. So, is next season the one that starts in November 2014 or November 2015? Maybe I don't understand journalism jargon, hey?
-
2015.
-
A primer on Wisconsin-speak:
1. You drink from a bubbler.
2. If today is Monday 7/21/2014, then this Tuesday is 7/22/2014, and next Tuesday is 7/29/2014. This refers to what is upon us, next refers to that which follows. Seems rather elementary right? Well just like how "coke" refers to all types of soda in various pockets down south, I can attest that in pockets of Southern Indiana (which is divided from Northern Indiana by Washington Street in Indy) there is no this anything... they will refer to both 7/22 and 7/29 as next Tuesday. Nevertheless, this season refers to the current season and next season refers to the one that follows.
So now that we've got this cleared up, next we clear up what 7/21/2014 constitutes as far as the current basketball season. Technically, the 2013-14 season has ended, yet the 2014-15 season has not yet begun. As far as the basketball gods are concerned, we live in a time which does not exist, and therefore, a responsible journalist would use neither this nor next when referring to an upcoming season. But responsible journalist has evolved into an oxymoron, so all bets are off on what Hunt meant to say. Though 2015 is the correct answer. Unless there's a hardship or the NCAA is asleep at the wheel again, in which case 2014 is the correct answer. But if there is a hardship and the NCAA is asleep at the wheel it's 2015.
With me so far?
"But Benny, recruiting is a year-round process." Stop whining. I know this. You know this. Hell, we all know this because someone smarter than all of us collectively said this enough times for it to become a scientific fact (I believe you have to say something two times a day for six years - give or take - and it becomes true... at least it does for the Nobel committee). Except that we know said smartypants obviously didn't mean to imply that he was recruiting during the dead period (which doesn't actually exist according to the aforementioned gods and their view of time-space), and the signing periods, which there are two. So there appears to be at least more than three, but certainly less than four, recruiting seasons for each basketball season.
Given that men are from Mars, and women from Venus... Title IX both a) requires that everything default to the Venusian calendar, which is only 224 Earth Days in length, and b) makes women's sports more numerous, so that becomes the numerator and since men's sports are more dominant (and since the dominant sports' participants usually can't spell that güd), the Martian calendar is the denominator. Now, there are 687 days in the Martian calendar, so for every basketball season, there are 3.067 (687/224) recruiting seasons (I forgot to mention... football and basketball players aren't great at math concepts, either. Neither is my wife from southern Indiana. So while the previous may be technically correct, it is more journalistically responsible to say that there are 0.326 basketball seasons for every recruiting season.)
So bringing us full circle, Wally will be eligible when Phobos and Deimos align with Venus, which is something like 440 days from now.
Despite the fact that I think someone swapped out the full lead instead of my usual decaf this morning, I'm pretty sure the above checks out. Watch back later today when I say the same thing again. And then again, twice a day, for the next several years. Or until I get banned. Which, according to the Mercurial calendar, it's about time for another Scoop banning. And since Sultan, Ners and Chicos have been relatively well behaved recently, someone better go off the deep end fast (too late*) and/or piss off Rocky before we screw up space-time.
Marquette Madness needs to get here really quick because straight-up madness is starting to set in.

He is eligible for track & field in 14-15, both indoor and outdoor. Has 3 years left for indoor & 2 for outdoor.
Yes, the NCAA considers the availability of roofs to make a difference in track & field.

This is great news that he is eligible in track and field. I think he has a realistic shot at the Olympics if he puts in two hard years of work.

When I was in flight school my Thiensville wife came down to OK to visit. She joined a group of us for lunch at the O Club. Afterwards, back at the hangar, a couple guys from New England asked if she was Canadian based on her Wisconsin accent.

The Wisconsin "O"s and "A"s...as in "boat" and "flag" are absolutely hideous.
Growing up in Northeast Wisconsin I never noticed it but after 5 years in Chicago I now cringe every time I go home and talk to high school friends.

There are some differences, its more like the bastard child of the Canadian, Yooper and Minnesotan accents.

Maybe not as widely spread, but generally spoken by the same people that say "up nort":
"tree"
What tree?
No "TREE, as in one, two, TREE"
"We are 'hedin up nort at tree."

Tyme machine maybe more of an '80s and '90s thing, but TYME was the dominate name used around here for ATM. TYME had the market and the machines were called TYME machines and it became the generic term for ATM. I don't hear it much anymore.
A buddy of mine, when outside the Milwaukee area, got some very strange looks and questions when he asked a gas station attendant if they had a time machine.
-
The "TYME" machine was the Original ATM....
yes, Take Your Money Everywhere.... I think M&I (Marshall & Ilsey) bank started it.. I'm pretty sure it was mid- 70's...

I remember the TYME Machine. It was ATM back home and had to remember to say TYME when back at school.
Speaking of which, how did students survive Marquette before the advent of the TYME Machine as in "I need to run to TYME Machine after final call at the The Lanche because I don't have anything left for Real Chilli (or Guiliano's)."

Keefe,
What you call Milwaukee accent was known as the "sout side accent" (sorry. Da Sout Side). Also spoken in West Bend and Sheboygan County. And, in those areas "cards" means sheepshead, (or sheephead in Plymouth).
-
How many of you guys are from Illinoise?
-
Hell, we all know this because someone smarter than all of us collectively said this enough times for it to become a scientific fact (I believe you have to say something two times a day for six years - give or take - and it becomes true... at least it does for the Nobel committee). Except that we know said smartypants obviously didn't mean to imply that he was recruiting during the dead period (which doesn't actually exist according to the aforementioned gods and their view of time-space), and the signing periods, which there are two. So there appears to be at least more than three, but certainly less than four, recruiting seasons for each basketball season.
this explains a lot of posts by chicos and ners

Keefe,

Holidays at the in-laws meant Sheepshead marathons. I haven't played in years but it was 32 cards with Queens and spades being trump. There were terms like Mauer, Blitz, Scmaltz, Schmear, Crack, and re-Crack. Talk about a Teutonic game.
I hear what you are saying about the difference between Nort side and Sout side but make no mistake - everyone in Milwaukee has an accent. I knew about the socio-economic chasm dividing Milwaukee into two hemispheres but I found it odd when Nort siders would mock the speech patterns of Sout siders when, in fact, they themselves had similarly thick accents that were essentially identical to an outsider. I actually like the Wisconsin accent as it is unique so none of my comments are in any way pejorative.

Everyone around here keeps referring to some woman, "Ellenois."

Oh God, I have to be honest here, I still call it a tyme machine. Just got called out on it a couple weeks ago by a friend from Montana. Here's another one..."Highway one hundred" is referred to as "highway a hundred" by us locals. Yes, I grew up in 'Stallis.

Fun list that brings back many memories, keefer.
But I'm gonna tell ya that my father-in-law, who has spent about 85 of his 88 years in Chicago, hasn't pronounced a "th" in all his time on earth.
Which also is the case with every other lifelong Chicagoan I know. They also say "go by."
My favorite is when my father-in-law says both of his cousins will be doing something: "Da boata dem gonna go by Judy's."
I'm guessing that some of these phrases migrated up from Chicago to Milwaukee rather than vice versa, but perhaps it was the other way around.
Aina?
-
While not identical dialects, linguistically, Chicago and Milwaukee have way more in common than residents of either city are probably willing to admit. I'm guessing that's due to the fact that they both had massive Polish, German and Irish immigrant populations.

I was keeping my list to Wisconsin colloquialisms. What you've taken here is a conglomerate of Milwaukee, Stallis, Sheboygan, and Yooper colloquialisms that aren't quite as pervasive throughout Wisconsin as Keefe would think.
Maybe it was my proximity to Madison growing up, but I only recall using (or hearing) 4, 6 & 8 on that list.
And 16 isn't just Wisconsin... I've heard that one all over.

Lots of yooper in that list.

I remember the TYME Machine. It was ATM back home and had to remember to say TYME when back at school.
Speaking of which, how did students survive Marquette before the advent of the TYME Machine as in "I need to run to TYME Machine after final call at the The Lanche because I don't have anything left for Real Chilli (or Guiliano's)."
Yup.
As a frosh in 93, everyone referred to the ATM as the TYME machine.
Then when it was explained to me that it was Take Your Money Everywhere, I thought it was just the naming of such machines in the Milwaukee area.
Then Chicago people told me they had TYME machines in Chicago.
I was confused...
I wasn't the only one...
Residents commonly referred to ATMs as a "Tyme machine," which has resulted in confusion when Wisconsinites visiting unfamiliar areas would ask the locals where they could find a "time machine".

Oh for cripes sake! There are some "dis, dem, dozers" throughout the dairy state!

Holidays at the in-laws meant Sheepshead marathons. I haven't played in years but it was 32 cards with Queens and spades being trump. There were terms like Mauer, Blitz, Scmaltz, Schmear, Crack, and re-Crack. Talk about a Teutonic game.
Queens, Jacks and Diamonds are trump.
And you are from up nort if the jack of diamonds is partner in five handed. Down south, you played call an ace as partner.

TYME was a consortium of banks in the Milwaukee area which sponsored the 24 hour teller machines. The phrase ATM came later. Milwaukee was one of the pioneers in this area as George Dalton and others paved the way.
-
Tyme machine maybe more of an '80s and '90s thing, but TYME was the dominate name used around here for ATM. TYME had the market and the machines were called TYME machines and it became the generic term for ATM. I don't hear it much anymore.
A buddy of mine, when outside the Milwaukee area, got some very strange looks and questions when he asked a gas station attendant if they had a time machine.
In the Chicago area it was the Cash Station.
-
Oh God, I have to be honest here, I still call it a tyme machine. Just got called out on it a couple weeks ago by a friend from Montana. Here's another one..."Highway one hundred" is referred to as "highway a hundred" by us locals. Yes, I grew up in 'Stallis.

Having been raised in the Falls and all my relatives living in Milwaukee EVS is what everyone associated with us in the 60's-70's. We used to take care of my grandparents parakeet, Tico when they would go on vacation and it was my Dad's idea to teach Tico a new phrase every year. My grandfather was pissed the year Dad taught Tico to sing "Ernie Von Schledorn". That bird lived to a ripe old age and never forgot it.

I called it a TYME machine for many years after I left Marquette. Since I lived in California people didn't know what I meant, but they didn't look at me strange either.

No, Vernors. For the float, especially. Can't get Vernors anywhere outside of Michigan which is a damn shame. I have nothing against Faygo and it was in the house I lived but I never did drink much soda (even when I worked for PepsiCo!) Vernors was exceptionally good so if I drank soda it was Vernors Ginger Ale.
It just popped in my brain - those floats are called Boston Coolers. I never understood why they weren't called Detroit Coolers...

Vernor's can be had - easy to order online if so inclined. Story goes that Vernor (the creator) had his pharmacy shop on Woodward Ave, near Boston Blvd in what today is known as the Boston-Edison Historic District. I think many of the streets there have big city names... anyway, Boston = a street in Detroit. The D (nh).
PS to all - it's POP.
-
I'm pretty sure Woodmans carries Vernor's.
the incorrect use of the word "Borrow" is probably the worst WI colloquialism out there.
F me, next month is 1/2 of my life spent in Wisconsin.
But it is still, and always will be, pop.
-

Is this Vernor's Ginger Ale really all its cracked up to be? Non Michigan natives like it and find it a transcendent type of experience?

I'm from Detroit and don't really like Vernor's all that much (which would probably get punched in the face if I admitted it back home). Faygo on the other hand, that's my shyt.

The Wisconsin "O"s and "A"s...as in "boat" and "flag" are absolutely hideous.
Growing up in Northeast Wisconsin I never noticed it but after 5 years in Chicago I now cringe every time I go home and talk to high school friends.
Try going back to Tennessee after a semester at Marquette LOL!

13. Are we familiar with the same Milwaukee?
14. You're mistaking Milwaukee with Philly again.
Most of the phonetic stuff is from people on the south side/Cudahy. My step-grandma is from Cudahy and says all that stuff. It's infuriating. She is literally a perfect walking specimen of all of the annoying Wisconsinite stereotypes.

Top-50 guard Quentin Goodin gets offer from Marquette

Goodin, 6-2 and 170 pounds, also has offers from Indiana, Michigan, Purdue and UNLV.
Goodin is rated by some services as a top-50 recruit nationally. Rated as one of the top prospects in the state of Kentucky, he has received interest, but no offers yet, from Kentucky or Louisville.

The way I read this map is that Milwaukee and St. Louis are very sophisticated cities, on par with the likes of NYC and LA.
Suffice to say, the usage of "soda" in MKE and StL clearly has something to do with the brewing heritage of those cities... I just can't connect the dots.

The only good thing about SLCRB is that it's labelled for what it is: low calorie. It's amazing how many people are duped into the whole "diet" soda thing... if sugar is bad for your diet, so are artificial sweeteners.
If it isn't sweetened exclusively by something ending in -ose (except sucralose), it's crap.

Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper is the only diet soda I can stomach. Probably because the aftertaste of the artificial cherry and vanilla flavors drowns out the chemically sweetened taste.

The only diet offering in the soda machine in McCormick's lobby my freshman year was Tab.
How I survived that year remains a mystery. Must have been the nutritious eating!

Lemon Pepsi! "Lemon" was code for No Cal.

How the Golden Eagles might line up this season
By Michael Hunt
For the second consecutive year they've lost their top returning scorer in similar ways.
Vander Blue left after his junior year to give the NBA a shot. It hasn't worked out the way he wanted so far, but he made some money overseas last year. Earning a living also was the driving influence for Todd Mayo, and more power to him as he seeks a job overseas, but that's where the parallels end.
Blue's surprising departure pretty much crippled Marquette last year. With him, it would have been good NCAA tournament team. Without a go-to scorer, the offensively challenged Golden Eagles couldn't even make the NIT.
Mayo's departure won't radically change Marquette's fortunes. The Golden Eagles probably would have struggled to make the NIT with him. They'll be somewhere in that ballpark without him. Although he had shown some signs of improvement, he wasn't on the verge of a huge breakout year like Blue. Still inconsistent, Mayo probably would have been a 12- to 15-point scorer on a team that was bringing back not much offense beyond Deonte Burton.
So how do they line up this year with just 10 players?
Good question.
Right now, I'd say:
PG Derrick Wilson
SG Matt Carlino
C Steve Taylor Jr.
SF Juan Anderson
PF Deonte Burton
Of course, this changes after Dec. 14, when center Luke Fischer becomes eligible. Taylor, at 6-7, can move back to one of the forward positions. But Taylor still has to pick up his game. He was a disappointment last year after coming off a knee injury. Even when he was physically able, Buzz Williams sat him. Fischer has developed a nice jump hook that's hard to stop from a 7-footer, so he'll add a little offense along with a defensive presence around the rim. Anderson has never been a numbers guy. Burton is probably Marquette's best overall player at the moment, a guy who can fill a variety of positions at 6-4, but he struggled defensively last year. It will be interesting to see what the lone incoming freshman, Sandy Cohen, can provide.
I go with experience in the backcourt right now with Wilson, a senior, and Carlino, a graduate student. But Wilson struggled to score so much last year that teams sometimes played Marquette 4-on-5. Carlino is an unknown. He left BYU because he was coming off the bench. He's a point guard, but with the loss of Mayo he'll play both. The best all-around guard might be Duane Wilson, who missed last year with a stress fracture. He could be in the starting lineup before long. John Dawson showed form and promise as a shooter last season. There are still a few questions on Jajaun Johnson, who, like Taylor, fell deep into Williams' doghouse last year.
No doubt, all 10 guys will have to contribute. Steve Wojciechowski will probably add another body or two via transfer or walk-on, but he'll probably only get a practice body at this point. That's the thing. If someone is hurt, sick or in class, the Golden Eagles won't have enough players to scrimmage. Good thing for them, they have young assistants who played at a high level and could act as fill-ins.

This has absolutely nothing to do about soda.
PG - Pepsi Light (w/the lemon and saccharine)
SG - Ginger Beer - goes great with bourbon
SF - Jones Green Apple - switchable
PF - Dr. Pepper
C - Sprecher Root Beer - Solid rebounder
