Does the state of Wisconsin hate us?

[Chicago_inferiority_complexes]

Nope,  Walker is a college drop out.  After losing the election for student body president, he quit school.

Actually he got a job so he left school. Just like tens of thousands of people each year. Nice revisionist history.

He was supposed to graduate the same year as me in 1991.  I remember him running and loosing badly.  I recall someone who knew him way back then say that he was leaving Marquette because of that very reason.

Very interesting. MUSG elections are the Spring of most candidates' Junior year. Walker leaves after completing his first semester of his Senior year.

So he must have taken the 8 months between the April-ish elections and the end of classes in December to decide he was going to quit because he lost that MUSG election?

MU & UW....Hatfields & McCoys

[Stuckin1977]

I do think the fact that MU being a Catholic school has something to do with it.  Think of how the whole country hates Notre Dame, Wisconsin is a microcosm of that with the whole state being badgers fans and disliking the Catholic school.

Frankly, I love and relish the fact that we're disliked by UW fans.  They wouldn't hate us if we were a pushover in basketball.  If we were, they'd view us the same as UW-GB and UWM.

Didn't Scottie boy get whooped by Gwen Moore in a State Assembly run, and then drop out?  IIRC, it was not an MUSG election, it was a Wisconsin State Assembly election.

Then he dropped out of school.

Good thing you made an idiot of yourself for chiding someone for 'revisionist history' when you don't even know diddly-poo about what you are talking about in the first place.

Color me, not surprised.

No.

People hate Notre Dame because they are perennially overrated school that thinks they are better than everyone else.

By your logic everyone should hate Xavier and all the other Catholic schools... but they don't.

Anyway, can we lock this stupid thread... it is just going in circles at this point.

So, even by your account, that original post was revisionist history and not true.

You need new friends. Embarrasssed? That is ridiculous. I love saying telling people, when asked, I went to Marquette. I feel nothing but pride and enjoy their reactions when they find that out. Even at bars its never turned into fisticuffs or anything, just playful ribbing of the other's school being inferior.

I feel the same way. I'm so proud to be an MU alumnus.  And I know I'm a cocky dick about it...but hey.  I paid for the right to be a cocky dick about it.

Out here in Denver, I have a lot of friends from WI.  5 or 6 actually went to UW, the rest went to Whitewater or Milwaukee but still cheer for UW and refer to the teams as "we" even though they didn't go there.  That bothers me.

When MU played WVU in the Big East Tournament, one of the UWM girls texted me and said, "I can't believe I'm saying this but go MU!"

THAT really pissed me off.  

But the thing that pisses me off the most are the UW alumni that "root" for Marquette.  Last night, one of them was like, "Wow, so you guys made it to the Sweet 16! Wisconsin represent!" But the way she said it was in a tone that a parent would use when their normally C student somehow managed a B-.  Shock. Awe. Totally Patronizing.  

I responded with, "I only recognize one team from WI" and she walked away all pissy.  

I'd rather UW cheered against Marquette to be perfectly honest. I don't want their "support" and I don't want them even saying the name of the school.  I most certainly will never cheer for UW and they can't seem to grasp why.  "You're from WI!" "So?" "You don't have a football team!" "So?"

I. HATE. UW.

So yeah...I'm dick about being an MU grad but only because everyone else shits on us for being MU grads.

He's still an alum...you obviously need to understand the definition.  He dropped out his second semester senior year.  He's a few credits shy from graduating.

Gwen Moore...is her son still slashing tires to prevent voters from going to the elections.  We should disown that clown as an alum.

As a fellow MU alum, I'm truly sad for you.

Thanks for the commentary.

Totally irrelevant as usual.

She's a clown....you went after someone because of your beliefs, don't deny it, I did it in return and you get all defensive.  Classic.

You might want to brush up on your history with both of these folks as well, because it's lacking.

Which story is it now -- he dropped out after an MUSG election or he dropped out after an Assembly race that took place during his undergraduate years? Call up your girlfriends at DPW and get your stories straight.

But the original post that he responded to said, "Walker is a college drop out.  After losing the election for student body president, he quit school."

So, even by your account, that original post was revisionist history and not true.

Bingo. I don't expect a hater like Hards to admit that he got this wrong.

Color me, not surprised.

[drbchilds]

Growing up in Michigan, and now living in Florida, I never see or saw the MU hatred.  In fact, I advertise that I am a MU grad in my advertisements, and I end up getting 10-12 new patients (I'm a dentist) a year simply because I am an alum.   I never confuse the lunatic fringe badger message board posters as the true pulse of all badger fans....all the badgers I come across have nothing negative to say about Marquette.....at least to my face....

Both of you need to actually read the entire thread and who made which comment before jumping to the conclusions that you are.

Chicos, I corrected the belief that he dropped out due to a MUSG election.  I'm sorry that the truth hurts everyone so much here.

Never seen a couple of conservatives so butt hurt over something so trivial.

Walker actually ran for President in 1988 while a sophomore. He didn't leave school until 1990

It may be revisionist history, or ignorance.  Either way, it isnt true.

There is so much disinformation on that topic that you can find, it's quite hilarious.  All part of the demonizing process...and yes...both sides do it....unfortunately one side pretends they don't.

What a joke.

I wonder if you believe yourself sometimes.

You're correct. So he must have taken his entire Junior year, plus half of his Senior year to decide to leave Marquette because he lost the MUSG election his sophomore year, per some people here. Probably a good 18+ months.

No.  'Nuff said.

I may have mixed them up?  It was 22 yrs ago and my mind was clouded by malt, hops, Bob Dukiet era basketball, Thermodynamics, Fluid Dynamics, etc......
