Badger Hate Week, 2023

Let's not count our chickens before they hatch. This game is no pushover - they're rated #24 in Kenpom.

Seems like an Illinois game with a little extra juice.  But we've been told ad nauseum that rivalries don't matter to players only the fan bases.  So no extra motivation or nerves.  Just robots playing a game.  We should win in that scenario handily.

If you are attending the game, please consider bringing a "Welcome Home, Bagders" sign.

Probably even subtle enough to avoid confiscation.

Nobody will notice it.

...I feel like UW will be good on Saturday, if for no other reason than they are playing us. And, RED is an experienced group. However, I also feel like MU is a bad matchup for them. MU is crazy athletic. Speed to burn. Quickness. Factor in MU is a much better team than at this time last season (seems like every returning player is improved)...and our tough battles at Illinois and in Maui providing the perfect tests...I think MU gets it done. I see this one going similar to that of our game at Illinois. If not, well, I suppose I'll just wander in the woods for a week or two rather than deal with my Badger bro-in-law.

February, 1974. Milwaukee Arena. Marquette coach Al McGuire leaps on top of the scorer's table and celebrates after Maurice Lucas hit a ridiculous last second jump shot to give the Warriors a one point victory over Wisconsin. In the stands almost directly opposite McGuire is Glenn Hughes, father of Kim and Kerry Hughes, Wisconsin's "Twin Towers of Power". Walking in the foreground is dejected Badger Coach, John Powless. Marquette went on to the NCAA tournament and finished second overall.

Notice Mr. Hughes "salute" to Mr. McGuire.  Hank's reaction is priceless too.

The guy at the scorer's table is laughing his ass off.

The person under Hank's right arm looks like a 10 year old doing his homework

Wisconsin is just out here writing the jokes for us. Saturday will be a...wait for it..."White Out."

Guessing all their fans will just show up shirtless.

We're not their rival, though.  And it's our Super Bowl.

Nice.  Side thought...I would love to have an update on where the 3 people in the foreground of the Gold announcement picture that they linked are now.

Yeah - looks like 31 and 33 might be twins - or at least brothers. AIausergate 2025?

Ok - this is getting to be a rabbit hole

Shaka should play loud chants of "Overrated" on loud speakers in every practice this week.  Hopefully this will get the team super motivated to not hear those same chants in Madison on Saturday.

Those "Overrated" chants came out after we were ranked fairly high after winning the Great Alaskan Shootout during Wade's sophomore year.  Wade got in early foul trouble, Ryan outclassed Crean, and they cruised to an easy victory.

Time to learn from history, so we're not condemned to repeat it!
