Just another game?

Thankfully Marquette students and alumni don't suffer from this affliction.

Put some extra teal on that.

I recall there being an article where Joe Fulce actually said 'Marquette is like the Harvard of the Midwest'.  I don't remember the exact quote or the source but I remember the words 'Marquette', 'Harvard', and 'Midwest' being in the same sentence and in that order.

The game is far bigger to MU than UW at this stage of the rivalry. MU needs to get much better on the national scene to make it big for both parties. UW will play a slew of bigger games than this one this year. We need this game more than Bucky.

Fur sure. Actually, since it doesn't seem ta influence in state recruitin', I place far more emphasis on conference games. Those who seem ta care da most are those who seem ta resent or deny da scholastic worthiness of UW, hey

4everwarriors: Please explain, "Those who seem ta care da most are those who seem ta resent or deny da scholastic worthiness of UW, hey."

As a cheerleader for the University of Wisconsin-Madison, you are suggesting that the 29,536 undergraduate students at Wisconsin-Madison receive educations that are superior to those delivered by hundreds and hundreds of colleges or universities across the country?

You believe that? Really?

You can gauge if games are rivalries and what players/fans think about it based on their reactions.

That being said, if the MU-UW game is "just another game" to UW fans and players, then some of the reactions by fans after last years game and their hatered toward me as I walked out of the game was quite surprising.

The UW players seemed pretty dejected and upset after the loss last year also.

Its definitely a rivalry game.

Didn't our victory over the rodents last year force Bo to retire early? (They did beat a cupcake after we destroyed their evilness). So Devastating.

Why is this in teal?

Those who belittle der academic stature seem ta get da stiffest woody from sayin', "we beat yo ass in basketball." BFD, hey?

Budget cuts have them on the down swing.  Faculty who can leave, leaving.  Research funding decreasing.  Yes, they are still a world class research university, but if the current treatment continues, they won't be in the near future.

Meanwhile, MU investing, on the upswing research wise.

4ever's schtick:

Hating Crean...ripping MU's academics...speaking in gibberish.

4everwarriors: While I normally avoid public discussion of "woodies," it would appear that the only "woody" here is the one you get when writing: "UW is a world class research university. No denying dat."

Dr. Vinnie Boombatz seems to have nailed your shtick, which clearly includes getting that funny feeling "downstairs" when applauding graduate-level research that you could not begin to explain and that benefits almost no one earning a bachelor's degree at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

And what is with your assault on the language? You are mocking whom?

All part of Walker's plan to destroy UW-Madison (along with all education and the state overall).

I agree with this analysis.
