Why Wojo Is Going To Be Great!

[Tugg Speedman]

Keeps Sandy Cohen (Cohen is Jewish, correct?), the only 2014 Brent recruit to stay.

Gets Matt Carlino of BYU to transfer (Mormon, correct?)

Now gets Gabe Levin to transfer (Jewish, correct?)


Anyone that can get Jews and Mormons to come to Milwaukee is going to be great!

[moomoo]

Carlino is an Italian Catholic.

Forza!!

Prejudge much?

Prejudge much?

I knew Cohen wasn't Jewish but my Jewdar tells me Gabe is a member of my Tribe. I guess we'll know when somebody actually steps out and asks him. That's how I found out that Rex Grossman wasn't!

Anyone else uncomfortable reading stuff about recruits' religion?

At least invent some code words, like "traditionals" ..

I think "traditionals" offends me more than the religion stuff.

But, I'll take an all-muslim team if they can shoot 3's and rebound

Noncatholic.

Umm yess.

By this line of reasoning we should also stop discussing Wojo's Polish heritage.

I have two distinct cultural heritages and my squadron mates let me know I was accepted by reminding me of my lineage. We had a Jewish Warthog driver whose call sign is Rabbi. Was Jan upset by that? Hell no. He was not ashamed of his religion; quite the contrary. And the call sign Rabbi was something he wore with pride.

Guys struggle with showing affection to each other so we take the safe route by flipping each other sh1t. We had a team almost get waxed along the Paki border. When they got back inside the wire we didn't hug them or cry tears of joy. We told them they were still ugly. But there was no doubt whatsoever that we were relieved and damn glad to see their hairy asses hop off that helo.

The great thing about this nation of cast offs is that we bring all of those differences together. I see no reason not to celebrate the richness of experience, variety and diversity that are woven together to form the tapestry of America. If you have ever been part of a team then you will understand what I am saying.

Well, hell's bells, his old man is anti-Sicilian

Shouldn't, unless you and others created a new meaning for traditional....which of course many did.     I'd take an all Muslim team that could shoot 3's as well, though I'm curious during prayer hour do we just put the rims in direction of MECCA or how does that work?  Oh, and I don't mean Milwaukee MECCA.

"Badgerest" team in a long time?

Pagan.

[muwar2003]

Just discuss the players abilities.  Not if he is jewish, mormom or anything else. When we were growing up and picking teams; we never asked someone what religion he was.  If he was good, we picked him up.

[4everwarriors]

I'm good with anyone. Doesn't pay me no mind if they're blue, green, black, or red. Same with whomever you choose to worship. We all have our reasons hey?

[We R Final Four]

Im with you 4ever--Too bad not all subscribe to this philosophy, therefore others are indirectly affected by the agenda of the chosen.

[tower912]

I do not care about another's metaphors and traditions for the Infinite.   We are all just pilgrims on the journey.

Ok, by this definition, where do the Eastern Orthodox, Anglican Communion, and Assyrian Churches align? I am C of E and our episcopacy traces its lineage back to Christ and His Great Commission. Anglicans and Roman Catholics can receive the sacraments from the other's clergy based on a shared theological view of grace, sanctification, and forgiveness. In any event, these distinctions can be obtuse and pedantic to the point of being absurd.

Incorrect. The Anglican orders have been declared null and void and affirmed as such very recently by Benedict. Catholics cannot receive the sacraments from Anglican clergy. Period.

Orthodox are a different matter.
