Holy Dome University....no questions asked.

They have a racist nickname and mascot.

Notre Dame, no doubt.  Badgers and Pitt next.

The NotreHomos used to come up here and gather at Goolsby's, throwing every napkin in the place in the air when they scored their first hoop....Who couldn't hate that.

They think they're so exclusive.  They are half our size.

To me it is ND without a close second.  When I was at MU, the atmosphere for the ND game was awesome and unrivaled.  I just hope that this has not been lost.

If you gave Wisc fans a list with Marquette on it, I best we finish 1st or second. If you were to just ask, it'd be another football school. It's question bias :)

I chose Bucky because I didn't think ND felt the same way back (and that's the definition of a rivalry to me). After reading some of these comments and thinking back to the game I attended in South Bend two or three years ago, I'd change my vote to ND. We may not be their #1 (again, I'd guess football is king), but their fans were brutal. They feel the rivalry.

In enrollment? Or stature? Certainly not in endowment (the monetary kind, not ... nevermind).


[EDIT]
Interesting. They are practically the same size (11,500 students), but their endowment is 19x larger. $5.5 BILLION. Whoa. *

You're right.  I was going off outdated info.

Even though I despise ND and made it a point to go to the last two MU road games against the Irish to yell at their fans, there is nobody I enjoy beating better than Bucky. UW is MU's biggest rival at this time.

Being removed from Wisconsin for 20+ years has pretty much erased my dislike for the Badgers.  DePaul is our most natural rival, and I for one sincerely hope that they rebuild that program.  That would be good for both schools.

Da 'Lanche

N.D....going back to the days when MU was independent.   I remember getting beat by N.D. all 4 years when I was at MU.....lowlighted by David Rivers whipping in a near half court shot at a key frickin' moment.   I also remember getting "scolded" by a very pious N.D. fan as I was walking in to the MECCA with a F&ck N.D. hat.


Coleman

ND, Looeyville, Wisconsin...in that order

I also feel its probably a matter of where you're from. MU students from Wisconsin its probably UW. From the Chicago area its probably ND or DePaul. I could be off on that but I feel like most people from the Chicago area or St. Louis (50% of MU students) don't hate Bucky nearly as much.

I hate Becky more than any other, but it's Notre Dame. They are a conference foe as well as a big-time rival. And they've been far more relevant in our history. The Al-Digger rivalry cemented it. Wisco has never had a polarizing figure like that, and even despite their recent success, has simply never been important enough.

But I do hate them with a passion. Even more than I hate ND, probably because I live in Wisconsin and see annoying Vadger fans all the time.

As was pointed out before, Bucky did not go to the NCAA tourney between 1947 and 1994.  I graduated in 1984 and, at that time, Bucky was awful.  They had been very bad for many years, and would be for many more.  The MU/UW game did not generate that much passion as we were on another level compared to them.  Back then it was close to what the UWM game is now.

At the same time, however, Ray Meyer had DePaul consistently ranked #1.  That was THE GAME in the late 1970s/early1980s.  ND, who was also ranked at the time, was a close second.

This is why I picked DePaul.  I will grant you the Bucky game generates more passion NOW.  But if Purnell can turn the program around, the MU/DePaul game will quickly surpass UW to become THE GAME.
