Charles Pierce, Boston Globe writer and MU grad, on the sexual assault issues

[Lennys Tap]

Isn't this the same Charlie Pierce who wrote an attack piece on Buzz Williams for keeping him (Charlie) waiting after the Seton Hall game with a team meeting that turned the season around? Good to see he's still a fan.

Nah, different guy from the Star-Ledger.

Can we get an official ruling on what the smell is in Milwaukee then? Is it the lake?

West wind = Miller
North wind = Pabst
South/Southwest = Slaughter House (those days sucked ass)
The rare East wind = Ambrosia Chocolate!  Nothing better than walking outside after class and having the entire campus smell like chocolate

Not sure if all those fine establishments are still open or not now.

Only Miller is left.

Oh man I miss that Ambrosia Chocolate smell!  I don't think it's a coincidence that Wisconsin fell fast from the #1 spot in the "Fattest State" competition once Ambrosia went out of business

[Spotcheck Billy]

Ambrosia Chocolate moved to the burbs years ago; IIRC, Milwaukee annexed part of Menomonee Falls so Ambrosia would still be in Milwaukee

First off, this hatchet job isn't even an article, it is a blog paragraph, and who found it? Hoopaloop? A guy with 48 posts? He sure seems to write and attack just like Chico did. My guess is that Hoopaloop is either Chico or Charles Pierce.

"Yep, I live in Boston, I read the Chicago Tribune attack, I read Michael Hunt's piece - I know exactly what happened." Unreal.

[GGGG]

Yes. Milwaukee actually exists in parts of three counties. Milwaukee, Waukesha and either Ozaukee or Washington. By the landfill where those four counties meet.

Getcha popcorn ready.

Cam - The reality is, is that the original poster, Hoopaloop, is basically the reincarnation of Chicos - so viewed from that lens....the content and thought process shouldn't come as a surprise.

Dammit, why didn't I catch that??? Exact same posting style - SOOOOOOOOO ANNOYING

concerning the picture and underlying caption about Buzz.

Maybe i am dense but it makes no sense to me...can anyone translate?

It's Buzz photoshopped into a harry potter poster.  It's a joke.

[GGGG]

I still don't understand the reference.  There is no story that goes along with it right?  I don't see anything on their site.

I can explain the joke/reference in a PM if you'd like.

I don't really need to nerd out more that I aready have for the day.

Find any Crumple Horned Snorkack's lately?

Whatever happened happened. I just can't wait for the season to get started so we could focus on something else. As soon as Pilarz arrives, they should start the search for a new AD. At least get some names circulating. That would at least get the focus off the incident and on the future.

[GGGG]

I really just want to know if it is an insult or not...or really what the point of it is...

[Stretchdeltsig]

This guy must be desperate for news.

He should focus on the heat wave, that's been vastly under covered.

Did he seriously invoke the name of the Flying Spaghetti Monster?

+1. That's what I thought, too.  

[mu_hilltopper]

The university had a bad policy.

I cringe at that statement, ever since I read the letter to the editor from the sexual assault counselor who wrote "This policy change, directed by the Milwaukee County district attorney's office, strips victims on one campus of this autonomy (to decide not to report) and may have the unintended consequence of silencing rape victims."

Where is this pic? I saw the link here, but it wasn't in today's paper sports section and I don't see it on the website. Frankly, I'm a bit skeptical because it seems a bit harsh from the local paper, even for the JS.

And for Sultan, it would definitely be an insult, though a bit tongue-in-cheek considering the new Potter movie just came out.
