Marquette has Danny Pudi featured with Amy Madigan, Doc Rivers and Chris Farley listed. Nothing against Pudi but wouldn't the feature photo be Farley or I don't know... maybe DWade?

Do you think that maybe that Wade guy should be included?

[KipsBayEagle]

Ummm Joseph Mccarthy?  Scott Walker is definitly famous now as well.

Walker never graduated from MU, although he attended for 3 + years.

Still considered an alumnus, though.

I always thought you had to get a degree from the school to be considered an alum. Guess not.

Actually, at most schools its a certain number of credit hours - most of the ones I've seen are between 24-48.

Hey just like D-Wade

Maybe more infamous is better description.....

On an unrelated note, how do people in wisconsin feel about walker.  All you see on the national news are the protests in the capitol.  Is there a sizable part of the population that agrees with him, or are the protests in madison systematic of how the whole state feels about him?

At the risk of turning this political and getting it locked...

The vocal minority and many national union sympathizers are the ones protesting.  The teachers and other public union people are desperate.  The vast majority of the state that elected him is still behind him, from what I can tell.

Brewcity, that's not what the polls indicated. Most polling of Wisconsin residents found them strongly against Walker's plan.

[KipsBayEagle]

Did he explicity state that he was going to de-unionize state jobs during his campaign, or were people blindsided by this?

[Norm]

After the protests started Walker claimed he talked about getting rid of collective bargaining rights during the campaign, but nobody could find any documentation of that claim. I also doubt the police or firefighters would have endorsed him if he had actually mentioned it during the campaign.

I thought the polls were oversampling Democrats and union households to arrive at this conclusion.

Either way the polls are irrelevant right now.  They are all based on emotion and inaccurate readings of the news.  (As an aside, I do believe the polls that 90% of the public cannot articulate what exactly the bill he signed last week does.)

Walker is the Governor for another 3 3/4 years.  Check back in two years and see what the state's finances are what his approval ratings.

If the state balances it budget, and he cuts fat out of the school system, test scores increase, etc.  Walker becomes a 2016 or 2020 Presidential favorite (too soon for 2012).

If the state descends into a bigger deficit, and test scores plummet, he wrecks the Wisconsin republican party like George Ryan did in Illinois 10 year ago.

Walker can be infamous, or one of the most important Governors of the last 20 years.  It all depends on what happens in Wisconsin now that the bill is signed.

Ok, this is the last thing I will write on this ... back to basketball!
