Over-REACTION and lack of perspective..

[GGGG]

My personal opinion is that the team has improved a some in the last 2 weeks.

OK, I am trying to think of something...but really can't...

Vander is beginning to get his offensive touch.

Junior is proving he can handle the PG spot and make a bucket in traffic.

Jimmy becoming more offensive minded when the team needs him to be-three pointer,taking it to the hoop and the phantom no call "travel" on him.  Hasn't always worked out but is beginning to understand this teams need for him to step up as an offensive threat.

Ners Man, I really like your enthusiasm. Definitely a glass half-full type of guy. Any thoughts on the economy or unemployment?

LOL..I know..I'm considered a classic fanboy..and probably am one..but my gut feeling on this team is that they will get better as the year goes on, and will have a year similar to last year..

As for the economy and unemployment - my best advice:  Move to Texas.  Dallas-Fort Worth specifically.  I loved MKE when I was there at MU..but Texas has a GREAT economy, very diverse, no state income tax, low housing costs..all of which continue to attract companies to relocate their corporate headquarters here..as well as operations, etc.  Texas has long been under Repbulican leadership...contrast that with California long been under Democratic leadership..and look at the differences in each state's economy - coincidence or not? 

Probably gave a lot more of an answer than you were looking for, right?!

Considering that as of October Wisconsin had a lower seasonally adjusted unemployment rate than Texas.

Yes, but put it in perspective.  The Dakotas lead the nation in unemployment.  In terms of a state with heavy population Texas is fairing the best in comparison to other "biggies" like California, New York, Illinois, Ohio, Florida.

I don't disagree with you on Wisconsin having a slightly better rate than Texas, at least that's what the latest stats say (which seem to get adjusted ad nauseum), but the differences in the states are significant.

DFW is nice...if you like sterile subdivisions and chain restaurants. Give me Austin.

Chicos we agree!  I think this is twice this weekend.  I'm sure we'll be battling again before long..but cheers for now.

OK, I am trying to think of something...but really can't...

I can't honestyl pinpoint one particular thing the team is doing better per se in the last 2 weeks...but...I've just felt that it has looked like we've been playing longer and more frequent stretches of both good defense and even offensive motion.  The achilles heel continues to be rebounding however, and DJO's continued struggles.

Most of us in DFW feel the same way..but...DFW has more jobs, and a greater diversity of jobs than does Austin..
