all you midwesterners need to get off the pity train.  UCLA is not for everyone, I grew up in santa monica, went to MU, still live in milwaukee, people do crazy stuff.  also the coeds at UCLA are nothing special... unless you have a thing for asians, than any UC school is probably your bag

Thank you

I've been to westwood many times.  It's a nice place, like 50 other major universities are nice places.  It's a good academic school, like 50 other schools are.  The weather is nice, and that is important to some, not so much to others.  The girls are nice, like they are at lots of universities that have thousands to pick from.

Yes, UCLA is good school and good choice.  But so is MU.  Unless you suffer, like many here, from WI inferiority complex that anything Milwaukee must be second class.

Here's another thought... proportionately, there are just as many "fat chicks" at UCLA - or ASU, or UT, or Miami, or USC, etc. - as there are at MU... the difference is that the ones at MU aren't indoctrinated with the concept of their life not being worth living if they don't stick their finger down their throat after every meal.

Call it truth-in-advertising if you'd like, but if you marry your MU sweetheart, the chances of your wife going Kirstie Alley on you within 10 years will seem like a relative impossibility compared to the chances taken by those marrying their UCLA/ASU/UT sweetheart.

[The Process]

I wonder who posts, "We've cooled on him" first???

Perhaps we should all take a deep breath and let the coaching staff do what they do....

Respect the Process.

Their girl parts run sideways.

Their girl parts run sideways. 

I think that is the general consensus yes

UCLA is an outstanding school, one of the MOST difficult public universities to get admitted too. In no way are Marquette and UCLA comparable academically. Take a look at the GPA and  test scores required to have even a shot to get into UCLA. Stop fooling yourself.

The issue is why Stone would pick UCLA over MU.  None of these arguments will play into that consideration. So, what is your point?

He's staying one year and going pro.

Comparing MU to UCLA academically is laughable.

[Tugg Speedman]

Comparing MU to UCLA academically is laughable.

Correct and no one brought it up ... so why did you?

If you're honestly telling me that MU girls remotely compare to those in the PAC-12...you are absolutely insane.

[LAMUfan]

plenty of good looking girls at MU, plenty in CA.  you know what everyone of my friends from LA says the first time they are in a Milwaukee bar, "holy crap there's a lot of good looking white chicks."

The fact that you even ask that question is amazing. If academics don't matter to you, then walk into Pauley and look up. Enough said.

[Tugg Speedman]

Huh?

Are you saying the US News school ranking plays into Diamond Stone's decision to go to a school for one-year to play basketball and then go pro for millions?

That is what we are talking about.  Not sure what you're babbling about.

[Galway Eagle]

what if we don't like blondes or tans?  Then Wisconsin girls might be looking a lot nicer. 

[Galway Eagle]

Comparing MU to UCLA academically is laughable.

Our Physical therapy program begs to differ! and our Nursing program is close enough that it is at least comparable!

a lot of skinny brothers like chunky white women.

Wisconsin gals only look good after you've been in prison for about 10 years.

[buckchuckler]

Wisconsin gals only look good after you've been in prison for about 10 years.

That's probably true of the ones that would look at you.

[Galway Eagle]

I can live with that. (now you have to wonder which one I'm talking about)

[GooooMarquette]

Academics matter to most college students...but not to most high major caliber players.

UCLA is a great academic school...but if the best academic schools won the most titles, then places like the Ivies, Northwestern, Duke, UVa, Vanderbilt, Stanford, etc would all be way ahead of UCLA.

Let me dumb it down so you understand. Pauley is the on campus facility UCLA plays basketball in. By looking up you will see the most NCAA basketball banners in the country. Perhaps that might appeal to Mr Stone.

[Groin_pull]

That's probably true of the ones that would look at you.

Wow. That's pretty big talk. I can guarantee I've been with women you could never hope to be with.

Now get off the computer, you're mom need to use it.

[Tugg Speedman]

Ok, got it.  That is a valid reason, even though most of those banners were won before Stone was born some before his father was born.

But for the record, you started this part of the discussion with:

UCLA is an outstanding school, one of the MOST difficult public universities to get admitted too. In no way are Marquette and UCLA comparable academically. Take a look at the GPA and  test scores required to have even a shot to get into UCLA. Stop fooling yourself.

You wrote this in response to why Stone would chose UCLA suggesting you thought these criteria mattered to Diamond Stone's decision.

[buckchuckler]

Wow. That's pretty big talk. I can guarantee I've been with women you could never hope to be with.

Now get off the computer, you're mom need to use it.

Hahahahahhahaha,  wonderful.  Clever and original, but your "my mom needs the computer statement" either paints me as a little kid or as the basement dwelling anti-social dweeb that all message board posters are seen as.  Either way it really hurts your super cool statement of how many women you've been with.  

Between your criticizing the women of an entire state, and the bragging about the women you've been with... boy you must really really be ugly.

But anyhoo, you make weenies with your mama's toe jam, and you like it!
