Great beginning to Badger Hate Week..

I love the focus on how we got inside and I felt that was the key to the game. When Kansas chased us off the line in the second half in Brooklyn, we had no answer. Yesterday, KSU was chasing us off the line from the outset. Once we started going inside and attacking downhill it opened the game and floor up for Howard and the rest of the team. It was a good early adjustment that kept us in it when KSU was mostly in control and allowed us to really take over once Brown went out, leaving  Howard free to wreak havoc on them.

I thought MU coaches didn't too that.   Crean, Buzz, now Wojo.

I thought it was one of Wojo's better coached games. Adjusted to bringing chased off the arc, took advantage of the loose whistles, and stopped the potential run to start the second with the quick timeout.

"Shots weren't the only thing Howard was throwing up"

Now that's  journalism!

[shoothoops]

One key is which player or players are drawing and taking those free throws.  I am uncomfortable with the Free Throw shooting of some of MU's inside players, John, Morrow, etc...as opposed to Howard, both Hausers etc...it matters. Markus was able to score and finish often inside or get fouled and shoot FT's himself. Big difference.

Food poisoning? If Howard can score 45, let's keep him on that diet!

[NickelDimer]

I was really encouraged by yesterday's game. I'm not sure we've won a game in similar fashion under Wojo. Tough gritty defense. Scoring inside and out. Getting contributions from several guys in a variety of ways. I really enjoyed that game

Howard says he had food poisoning. Wojo says Howard gave him the flu. THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE

People say they have food poisoning all the time when they really have a flu or virus. I would say probably close to 98% of the people claiming to have food poisoning really didn't have food poisoning. Maybe higher.

The way you know it's food poisoning is when you dookie in your shorts.

No, No, he meant Flu Poisining.

Hmm. I have been told the opposite, that there's no such thing as a "24-hour flu", and that when someone has flu-like symptoms for a short period, it's usually a relatively mild case of food poisoning.

After I had food poisoning many years ago, my doctor told me, "You now understand why I tell people, 'If you think you may have food poisoning, you don't.  If you ever have food poisoning, you'll know it.'"  I have never been so sick in my entire life.  Fortunately, it's pretty short lived.

You're telling me ZFB has food poisoning several times each week??

Years ago, seafood restaurant at 6pm.  Usual clams, shrimp, oysters and meal.
11pm, fluids coming out of every orifice in my body.  ER visit, food poisoning, sent home to rest and did not eat for two days.  Worst sickness of my life. 

[tower912]

My food poisoning story involves 5 types of fluids leaving my body at the same instant.  Poop, pee, puke, snot, sweat.    I remember in that moment thinking I wish I had the strength to jerk off because that would be 6.      About 8 miserable hours.

I got hit with it just as I was arriving to the airport on my way back to Milwaukee from San Diego. Uber dropped me off at ticketing just in time for me to get to the first garbage I saw at the main entrance. Some random woman gave me a handful of Kleenex and I have never been more thankful for a random act of kindness. Had a 6 hour (I think it was) layover in Denver. That was not a fun day of travel.

It is likely true that there is no thing as a "24-hour flu," often we use the word "flu" in place of "virus".  There definitely are 24-hour viruses. 

As others have said, when you have food poisoning, you know it.  People not leaving the toilet for hours, with a garbage can between their legs because they are puking and shitting simultaneously.

This exactly. If you have legitimate food poisoning, it's really, really bad.

[tower912]

Chick, you are correct.  Bad me.

You should have popped a zit.

Food poisoning is more common than the stomach flu according to this and several other articles from google search:  https://www.medicinenet.com/stomach_flu_vs_food_poisoning/article.htm#what_is_the_difference_between_the_stomach_flu_vs_food_poisoning.  I am not sure where you are coming up with the 98% figure, but as WarriorChick said, it is the opposite of what you are saying. 48 million people a year suffer from food poisoning.

Is food poisoning often just dirty people cooking food?
