Good article - thanks for posting.

Of all the Badgerphiles out there I hate Katz the least. Great article, except for this line-
"Seniors Jimmy Butler and Dwight Buycks as well as junior Darius Johnson-Odom and sophomore Junior Cadougan are all veteran Big East players who can hang with anyone in the league."

I don't think even Junior Cadougan would refer to himself as a "veteran Big East player" and not even Buzz would say he has shown he can hang with anyone because we simply don't know yet.

Most people theorized that Katz "hated" Marquette (absurd) because he kept linking our former coach to job openings. Of course, some of us knew (and tried to explain) that it was the coach himself that was leaking this information. Katz doesn't hate any team. I think he's a good reporter and always has been.

I for one much preferred the notion that a UW grad/fan/writer was the bad guy in this narrative instead of our own coach. My regret that such a notion proved false was mitigated by the fact that the true bad guy is no longer our coach.

A little bit of both actually.

Nice article, and while I agree that Cadougan is hardly proven, I think Katz is right that we're being overlooked yet again. I wonder, when DJO is one of the premier scorers in the Big East next season, will we still be overlooked because team leader Jimmy F'in Butler moved on to the NBA and we have no one to fill his spot, never mind top 100 recruits waiting in the wings like Jamail Jones, Erik Williams, and Jamil Wilson? Keep overlooking us, we'll keep winning double digit games in the conference and going to the tournament.
