Worse Than A Kick To Your Junk

[4everwarriors]

That's what I think it would feel like if UWm wins tonight, we lose, and they go dancin' while we play before 4000 fans vs. VCU in the NIT.

[Dawson Rental]

First, you don't show up with the coffee at the tent I had outside Dave and Busters, and now you've got to put this blasphemy in my head! Uggggg

[ChicosBailBonds]

I've thought about this scenario.  Some folks here think it shouldn't matter about what our rivals think, etc, but I have to say I'm not one of them.  It would be brutal to see UW-hyphen-M go to the NCAAs and we sit home.  Absolutely brutal.

I'd hate to be an employee in a Milwaukee office tomorrow if that happened. If it's like it is here during the UCLA USC stuff, ouch...no thanks.

Go Marquette.

4ever, take your pills.  I inserted all the implied "if's" but that's a lot of questions to worry about.  I though people your age didn't get all worked up over stuff like this anymore?

I am rooting for UWM. Even if they make the tournament and we do not, we know we have the better program. It will be their 3rd bid(?) all-time. We do not have to worry about UWM (excuse me Milwaukee) going to the tournament. We do not seriosly recruit against each other.

[Dawson Rental]

Well, except maybe during those dark Dukiet days....

[leever]

I'd prefer a win over Providence and possibly one more over WVU to a swift kick in the junk.  Just sayin.

Not saying it wouldn't suck, but did it suck as bad the last time this happened and UW-M went to the sweet 16 no less?

Yeah - I believe back in 2004 or 2005 UWM went to the Sweet 16 as we were losing in the NIT first or second round with 2 future NBA players.  Thankfully we rebounded from that debacle with the Big 3 the next year,

[ChicosBailBonds]

Go Butler.  I'll never cheer for UW-m after the nonsense Haidet and Bo pulled...and later the outright cheatnig by Pearl.  I like Rob a lot, but go Butler.

It wouldn't be nearly as bad as you think.  Don't get me wrong, it would be horrible, but only because MU missed the tournament.  I don't think any of the UWM alumni in my office would know that UWM made the tournament unless I told them or if they decide to fill out a bracket.  They might notice their school's name on the bracket sheet at that point.

[smrunner99]

They may notice it, but I guess it depends how it is listed: UWM, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Milwaukee.  Ahhh, the list goes on and on. 

[Lennys Tap]

How can a team you're like 40-0 against be your rival? Does UCLA worry when Cal State Northridge makes the tournament?

[Markusquette]

Go UWM. I don't care, I want to see them do well.  It's different when you grow up in the state, though.  So I cans see why most don't care.

Milwaukee fans call us elitist. Calling it UW hyphen M is just that, not to mention stupid nonsense. There never was a hyphen in the name. Call it UWM like everyone who goes there, no need to put them down, we have never lost to Milwaukee, our record puts them down enough.

There was a hyphen used by the media, by their own website, by their own building they play ball in.  For a number of years, actually.  

Lenny....didn't Buzz call them a cross town rival last year (of course this year he kind of beat around the bush and asked rhetorically if it was)?  Hmm....seems golden to me then.

Ok so I didn't know that, by typing out "hyphen" is just tacky

Cool, then it achieved the desired result

Typo... or intentional?

Typo....is there a word cheatnig?

Not in my vocabulary, but I also don't describe certain basketball players as 'traditional'.  You teach me things every so often, Chicos.  Thanks!

I'm here to help.

Well, Forever can rest easy, UWM loses by 15 whilst we win easy and probably dance card punched.

And Fran is drowning in his porridge.  Great night!

[leever]

Definitely did not feel like a kick to the junk!
