I put it as a tie between Tower912 and MJS beat writer Matt Velazquez.

Tower's "______" Thoughts after each game became a must read for me and always a great way to start the post-game discussion.  Thanks for always doing those, very much appreciated.

Matt Velazquez may be the best beat writer MU has ever had.  He's Rosiak on steroids.  Being a beat writer nowadays isn't what it was 5, 10, 20 years ago.  You need to tweet hourly, blog daily and you're lucky if you get print inches weekly.  Matt V is up to the job.  Expect him to either end up covering the Brewers or Packers very soon (unless they make the new-look Bucks a bigger priority).  Or expect him to get bigger gig at a better outlet.  He's got the hustle.

I have to go with Matt.  Tower has been bringing it for some time,  but Matt really, really stepped up the JS's game this year.

The Ners echo: what greater measure is there of his negative impact than length of time after his banning that comments about his path of destruction are still heard.
You actually have a degree from Marquette?

Quote from: muguru
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.

In other words, Velazquez did his job.  Yipee.  Don't act like he found a cure  for cancer for crying out loud.  He is a sportswriter.

Chicos was a punchline while he was banned, too.

Whoever pulled the plug on Ners gets my vote and it's not even close.

At least she's got both hands on the wheel.   Just like they teach in driver's ed.

 I changed my vote.   The mods with the ban hammer are the MVPs.
