Welcome Ben!  Can't wait to see what you bring to the show. The count down for Heisy calling you a hack has officially started

Quite the name. Welcome Mr.  Steele.  We're looking forward to your coverage.  Matty V set the bar high so I hope you're up for the task.

Didn't the Packers have a TE named Ben Steele a few years ago? I'll just assume it's the same guy

The challenge for Mr. Steele to provide unbiased coverage could be great with that Wisconsin - Madison pedigree.

So, Mr. Steele, who do you think will be the better collage player, Herro or Joey Hauser?
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.

According to a multiple screen name poster, we could very well have both if Wojo gets his head out of his ass and moves on from Grimes and focuses his attention on the kid already committed to UW!

C'mon guys.  Give Ben a break and let him do his job. Where he went to school is irrelevant.  In the words of ARodg,  'I live in Wisconsin now.'

Yes, we should let his work speak for itself (and i hope he does great) but these are horrible arguments as to why.

If he's any kind of journalist he focuses on the job at hand, we can only hope he's as timely and informative as Matty V, of course it's not your father's Journal anymore.

We overreacted when a domer was named AD, probably overreacting to a Badger being the beat writer.

I know several academic types.  They each have multiple closets dedicated to the spirit wear from each school they worked at.  Every time they show up at a new school, they know to go shopping.  Each always remembers where his/her paycheck comes from.

Ben has just received a significant promotion.  I'm confident he's absolutely thrilled to be covering Marquette basketball.  Moreover, I suspect that Matty has already clued him into scoop and that he's taken a glance.  Some might want to keep that in mind.
