Early Non-Con schedule

And if we had, no one in the state of Wisconsin would remember it a year later, much less the eternity that a loss to Milwaukee or Green Bay would (will) last. When was the last time you heard anyone talking about the North Dakota State game?

December 2012.

In a discussion on just how poor it was for the 12-13 squad of Warriors to lose a game to Green Bay, many people brought up the failure of Tom Crean to beat a North Dakota State team in the Bradley Center. Both losses have long shelf lives.

MU is playing in New York on Super Bowl Saturday.  I like that.

And Fox has the Super Bowl broadcast...

And Fox has the Super Bowl broadcast...

Hopefully it won't turn out the way it did last year when MU - Louisville was "the only game on."

Actually, that proves my point. No one talks about the ND State game unless it's when there's another game to compare it to, and you never hear ND State fans trying to rub that one in because you never actually meet ND State fans.

Bad losses are bad losses, they have always and will always happen, but a local bad loss is going to stick in the craw a lot more permanently than a loss to someone 500 miles away that no one cares about the next season.

So, they're probably going to get to go to the Super Bowl as part of that thing, huh?

To me the UWGB game will always be "the bad loss the year we won the BE and got to the Elite 8."

IOW, it was ultimately meaningless.

So, with Super Saturdays and the chance for these double headers at MSG, I assume the attendance and hype helps the BE fulfill its contract obligations with MSG as well.  SJU didn't even play all its games at the Gardnen in the old BE.  Fox is nailing it out of the box.  Haven't heard much lately from the Angry Old Men of the ACC.
