Self Reflection

[RushmoreAcademy]

Please tell me none of you complaining is a packer fan. This is a tiny fraction if the what makes Wisconsin sports insufferable.  I distinctly remember an old lady who owned a packers car leading off news coverage. Not sports coverage.... News coverage.

Fortunately, I live in the flatlands, where a Badger refers to just another type of roadkill eaten for dinner by our precious downstate residents.

We occasionally hear about the red barf, but it comes and goes like a bad bratwurst.

Now on to really important things. Our coach will be our coach. I'd like to think we can do better that Quarto (Cuonzo?) Martin. At least lets go for Half Gallon O Martin. As an ex-Tennessean, I'm really disturbed that the University of Tennessee's potential hand-me-downs would end up in Milwaukee. We're better than that. We really are.

I'm sure Quarto is a great guy. But, let's face it. Mercer did his work for him. He's a downgrade from the Buzzard. Even Curley will be yucking it up if we did this one.

Badgers hitting home runs, kicking ass--meanwhile we puny warriors are now relegated to 2nd tier coaches and smoking the roaches, while Bo is King of College basketball. Wonder what recruits will start sliding toward Madison.

C'mon MU, get your ass in gear.

Badgers own the state. Think about it. When MU went to the Final Four in '03, alums and students were excited...the rest of the state shrugged. Now, I bet the entire state is losing its mind...from top to bottom. Kohls and Walmart can't pump out Bucky t-shirts fast enough. It will always be this way. The advantages of being State U. Just glad I'm not there...can't imagine how many bandwagon jumpers are around.

All of this hoopla can't help but influence recruits.

You don't think it is the same way in North Carolina between Duke and the Tar Heels?  Duke is hated in North Carolina ... it's a bunch of rich Jewish kids from New Jeresy.

* The same in Illinois between Northwestern and Illinois?

* The same in Kentucky between Louisville and Kentucky?

* The same in Southern CA between UCLA and USC.

* The same in the bay area between Stanford and Berkley?

* The same in Washington between Gonzaga and the Huskies?

* The same in Ohio between X and Ohio State?

* The same in Indiana between Notre Dame and Indiana?

* The same in Nebraska between Creighton and the Big Red?

* The same in Iowa between Drake and the Hawkeyes?


Yeah, no one else has it like MU.

Huh? Where did I say Wisconsin-MU was a unique situation? Must have missed that.

That is what your post implied.

Nope. Only focused on Wisconsin-MU. Couldn't care less about Jersey or Nebraska.

[Tums Festival]

I'm EXTREMELY glad I'm not up in Wisconsin right now. I can't imagine how much I would be dreading going to work tomorrow if I was still at my old job there.

[mu_hilltopper]

The horror .. the horror.

[dgies9156]

Let Becky have her fun while it lasts.

This too shall pass!!

[nathanziarek]

That is what your post implied.

Totally the opposite. The line "The advantages of being State U." is about as generic as it gets. It's nice to be the big university that the state identifies with.

That said, Scoop does seem to be filled with a bunch of "woe is me" types lately. Don't blame you for thinking this is another one.

If I recall Marquette does best as an underdog. Beat them next year and the UW'ers quietly go away for a day.

[OnWisconsin]

It was bad enough last week when I was surrounded by Bucky's obnoxious pseudo-fans.

I Respect the Process, but I'll never respect the Wastewater, Point, LaCrosse, Eau Claire and all the other D3 folk who act as though UW-Madison is their own alma mater.

I'm not sure this years Marquette team could even beat "Wastewater"

Tom Crean beat you guys for Christ sake.....go to the Vadger boards in January and how many of you wanted Bo fired or questioned his ability.  Quite humorous.

Give my congratulations to Bo.  Beating a team with better seeding for just the second time in 13 tournament appearances must have you all so proud.

Desperation is a stinky cologne, little brother.

So what you're saying then is you guys couldn't have beaten a D3 team by more than 6 points then?

Don't even bother, bro.  Leave them have their fun.

Congrats to Bo, he deserved a FF.

Note: Piper, why are you here?  It's still Lent

[Litehouse]

Exactly, they beat us by 6 at the Kohl Hole without Mayo.  And people wonder why we don't like UW-Madison fans around here.  They're having an incredible season and I want to be happy for my family and friends that are UW fans, I really do, but jag-offs like this make it tough.
