Wisconsin fans and arrogance.

[GGGG]

Not band or Bud song related... But did anyone else love the fact that Saint Bo couldn't figure out a way to stop a team that basically ran the same offense he does?

The same offense?  I don't think they are anything alike.  UW's is a swing, and Cornell's is a give and go with a lot of back cuts.

Wrong. They both have a bunch of fundamentally sound white guys so it's the same offense.

Being a local guy here at the actual site, I can say GT did nothing to promote Wisconsin.  Folks down here only know where Wisconsin is because Brett Favre used to play somewhere up there (SEC guy, remember?).  Shifting my residence to the Southeast has been an eye opener in the sense that the only thing that matters down here is college football.  Basketball is third behind baseball.  The Big Ten has one respectable football team in their eyes, and it is Penn State (year in and year out).  After that, probably Ohio State.

No, not even on their minds that Wisconsin has a basketball team, or a band for that matter.  They probably thought the folks in red were lost Univ of Georgia fans rooting for Tech.

I don't remember Southern Miss being in the SEC.

Structurally, they are similar. UW uses a lot of screening and cutting as well, but it just follows more of a pattern. Both tems are good at passing out of the post, especially the high post. No one runs a "give and go" offense. That's a function of making great reads. I've seen UW use that several times this year with Leuer hitting a cutter.

Granted, there is more freedom with Cornell's offense. Not as rigid as the swing, but it is similar.

I think, many times, it is ignorance not arrogance.  This is what happens when there is one big state school that gets all the athletic support.  Most UW fans grew up in Wisconsin and haven't spent a lot of time outside of the state or at other major colleges.  They tend to see UW as the end all be all.  They truly believe that they invented a lot of standard college traditions.  They also seem genuinely shocked that someone could not like UW athletics.  I get this all the time from friends of mine that fit this description. 

This is a good summary of my thoughts on this too.  Most Badger fans don't get out much.

Depends on the age as well, its not ignorance....I have never heard that song with Budweiser instead of Wisconsin.  Was that a popular song in the 80s or early 90s?  I would have actually thought the same thing, has it ever dawned on you that maybe some people just aren't FAMILIAR with the Budweiser song?  Good grief.

Youtube "Budweiser Song"

All the results have to do with GA Tech, not one is of Wisconsin anything.....

[us patriot]

The song was written for Budweiser by a commercial jingle guy.  He wrote words that go with the entire song and it does end in "When you say Budweiser, you've said it all"  It was written in 1970.  Also in 1970, the Georgia Tech band played it to honor their football coach who was named Bud and it became a tradition at GT.  They do say "when you say Goer - gia Tech, you've said it all"  The Wisconsin band started playing it around 1973.  Somewhere in the "everything great comes from UW-Madison" laurels passed on to students they believe that the original was the UW band version and Budweiser borrowed it from UW and changed the words.  Yes, I have heard many UW alumni say this, and no they never fact check.  So in reality, they were not even the first college band to play it, and no the GT band was not was not playing it for the UW fans in the crowd.

[buckchuckler]

The Budweiser songs ends with "When you say Budweiser, you've said it all!"
UW plays the song and changes the words to "When you say Wisconsin, you've said it all".

As I'm sure most of us expected it looks like muhoops85 can keep his paycheck.
According to wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_Tech_Yellow_Jackets): It is a "tradition for the band to play the "When You Say Budweiser" after the third quarter of football and during the second-to-last official timeout of every basketball game".

Thanks

I am not sure if that is accurate exactly either.  Sonny and Cher had a similar song called, "When You Say Love."  I think it more likely that Budweiser adopted a pop song, even an obscure one, than performers adapted a commercial jingle.  In any case, it became popular when Budweiser commercials appeared during any televised sporting event in the 60s and 70s.

This made me laugh out loud. Nice work.

[syscokid]

Was Cornell the "Big Red" before uw as well? Now THAT would be funny!

And to think all these years I thought Bo invented the Budweiser song.

[rocky_warrior]

He invented Jump Around too, fwiw.

Or the Nebraska football team?

[Litehouse]

Madison has a long history of "adopting" their traditions, the song "On Wisconsin" was originally written for Minnesota.

Bo's a bud light kinda guy.

I think he was also the inspiration for the Soulja Boy dance as well.
