Jordan Taylor tweet

[MUMac]

I really don't care what Taylor tweeted or said.  His game did enough talking for me.  He is their Senior leader and when they needed him to lead, his passed up shots and turned the ball over.  That's all the talking I care about.

Yup, getting to the Rose Bowl is not a successful season. Winning it would be. We'll see.

For the big 10, getting there is the most important thing since it is a given that they get worked in every bowl.

WHO CARES. Time for Washington. Bucky is just another notch in our belt, nothing more.

[PuertoRicanNightmare]

He was initiating a ton of contact.  He also had the low blow on crowder.  I have no respect for taylor as a player, especially since wiscy played their best ball with him on the bench.

That wasn't a cheap shot. No intention there at all. Come on

[OnWisconsin]

I actually got a response after I called him overrated. He told me to lighten up. Admittedly my throwing in the term for a female dog took it a little far, but whatever, he is a sore loser and I feel he is overrated. Very good player, but don't think he is first team all-american.

As for that three second call, I think it was a makeup call for the travel that they didn't call on Jamil Wilson. It looked like when Wilson picked up his dribble, he took an extra step. It was an awkward looking play from Jamil so he may not have traveled, but that was my take. The 3-second call was after we kicked it out, so I figured Eddie was making up for that missed call. The hand check 45 feet from the basket was comical. I couldn't believe it.

Okay so let me get this straight, you said something along the lines of "overrated, bitch." But it's Jordan Taylor with the problem?

As I've said before, Marquette flat out won the game. But I'll let you decipher your gem of a post.

Go away. You lost.

I've never really understood the point of even reading the uw threads. They can live in their little online world. We can live in ours. That extends to the twitter too. Who cares about 140 characters worth of nonsense that an opposing player types out frustrated after a loss?

[OnWisconsin]

There was an all-american guard (and, two possible future all american guards) on the floor yesterday.  none of them were jordan taylor or wearing red!!!  enough said.

Taylor was a second team all-american last year already... definitely outplayed by DJO and Mayo yesterday, though.

This is what I took away as well. Was waiting for Taylor to step up and earn all that summer hype placed on him and he failed at every juncture. Really surprised me. He looked disinterested at times, he looked slow compared to the MU guards, and mentally I thought he buckled.

[HoopsMalone]

If your favorite NBA team drafted Taylor in the second round next June, would any of you be happy?  I know I would not. 

[jeffreyweee]

Taylor was a second team all-american last year already... definitely outplayed by DJO and Mayo yesterday, though.

Let's see...

Todd Mayo, G   24   6-15   0-4   2-2   0   5   1   0   0   1   3   14
Jordan Taylor, G   30   4-10   0-2   5-6   3   5   2   0   0   5   4   13


So mayo shot the same percentage, hit a better free throw percentage, had the same amount of rebounds, 4 less turnovers, less fouls and more points in 80% of the time than Taylor. The only thing taylor did better was 1 more assist, but his ratio was still worse.

Your "all-american" point guard got outplayed by a freshman (not a redshirt freshman like UW is used to, ours can play right out of the gate). Deal with it.

[MUMac]

Don't understand all the animus and and angst towards OnWisconsin.  They have been anything but confrontational or flaming.  Very complimentary towards MU, as well.  I think some of you need to back off a bit.

[jficke13]

It's always a lot of fun to beat a rival. It's fun to enjoy the victory. I just don't see the point in dwelling on what other message boards/twitter is saying. I guess I never got into the anonymity on the internet so lets be confrontational thing.

[Markusquette]

Indeed.  Andy jefferyweee - OnWisconsin admitted Taylor was outplayed by both guards.

I think the big part in this game was not having Leuer and Nankivil on court.  While both of them could shoot from out, they also had more inside game than current Badgers big men.  We're a bit bigger this year too.  So, no Leuer to abuse us inside like he did last year was big.  Bo runs a great squad with smart players, but the big men this year aren't quite as talented or experienced.

Taylor is a good player, just bitter about the loss.  Feels good that he is upset, lol.

Agree....there are many UW fans who are d-bags, but this guy isn't one of them..

[Skatastrophy]

+1, he's even handled the flaming with maturity.  I'd rather have OnWisconsin posting here than Ners.

Nothing against you Ners, he's just a really good guy.  :p

Yea, I ended up deleting my tweet. I should have used different words. I honestly never expected him to see it. It was more for my friends that go to Madison who I have a friendly rivalry with. I shouldn't have tweeted it and give credit to him for deleting his.

However, that doesn't change the fact I think he's a sore loser and overrated. I'm also not the face of the team that just got beat and the pre-season all-american. To not give much credit to Marquette was sour grapes.

Like I said earlier, he is a very good player on a very good team, but I don't think he is a first-team all american now that teams won't look to stop leuer and focus on him.

[tower912]

Time to walk away, gents.   A competitior immediately after a tough loss tweeted something mildly inappropriate.   He has stepped away.   So should we. 

[MUjak]

Taylor is up and tweeting again.

:didn't know I had so many Marquette followers. They obviously got a good team. just glad their fball team won and tryin to have some fun ha:

Ha! I saw that. No, Taylor, you don't have that many Marquette followers. You just happened to post something on what's referred to as the "Internet" where information is disseminated at rapid speeds, all over the world. This is something that should be kept in mind when deciding what you choose to write down.

I saw the tweet only through Cracked Sidewalks or Anonymous Eagle, can't remember which. Oh well. Regardless of the team or its fans have to say, it's a great weekend to be a Golden Eagle

[Hoopaloop]

Wisconsin lost because not all their cheerleaders were there and the band was in Indianapolis.  Two of the excuses their fans are using today.

Jordan Taylor is a kitten.

[Hoopaloop]

Depends if you consider the rose bowl coming up short, champ.

Considering you should be playing for a national championship but you wet yourself twice in two games, I'd say you came up short. The Big Ten will never be this awful again with Michigan, OSU, PSU all sucking at the same time.  You had your perfect scenario, your transfer QB to play for it all and you wet yourself.  Urine down the leg, on national tv.  Twice.  You will never have the chance again now that Meyer is at OSU, Penn State will finally go out and get someone under the age of 55, and Michigan on it's way back.

It was all there, and you came up short, champ.  Life's opportunities don't come along very often, and you soiled yourself.

Go Oregon Ducks.  Pull a TCU.

A what?

[RyanConroy]

Golden Eagle.

It's time to let it go. It's a new era now.
