[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

This Scoop referendum is non-binding but the results will be forwarded to the moderators on an advisory basis.

Write-in votes are allowed but votes for "Warriors" will not be counted.*



















*Votes for "Warriors" will be secretly counted and the results may be released if they align with our agenda.

who in their right mind says FIPs and why does one person saying it deserve its own thread.

[wadesworld]

Whatever Willie tells me.  So FIPs it is.

[Nukem2]

Illinoying.

[Viper]

Illinoying.

we have a winner! End the voting.

When I visit Wisconsin I'm usually called Sir.

Wisconsin is a vassal state.

[Pakuni]

[MuMark]

I recall Flatlanders as being a thing.

[MU82]

You got dat right, sir!

[PJDunn]

FISHTABs, especially near the Dells.

[We R Final Four]

Me too….flatlanders and FIBs

[BallBoy]

As an Illinoisan

Wisconsin = FIBs
Michigan = FIPs

[Badgerhater]

tax revenue streams

[Uncle Rico]

Good friends

I chuckle at Wisconites that belittle folks from Illinois.  We put cheese on our heads, folks

[HouWarrior]

I enjoy some of the random offerings on You Tube and recently began watching Charlie Berens.
 Good stuff

 His callbacks to Wisconsin topics/humor are great, including a few bits on FIBs

[tower912]

Flatlanders

[WhiteTrash]

Flatlanders

Isn't that Nebraska to Indiana and north to Canada?

You are all Flatlanders to Coloradans.

I’ve heard FISH and FIBS, never FIPS.  I’ve been all over this state, with politically incorrect people from all generations and never once heard FIPS

I’ve known FIBS since the early 80’s.

If the FIPS definition found on line is more “politically incorrect” than FIBS like Dung claims, it might be time for Dung to get into the 21st Century

[21Jumpstreet]

It is decidedly not FIPs

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

I had forgotten about FISHTABs and Flatlanders, but have heard them before.

Pretty wild that FIPs is actually a thing in Michigan.  I guess even a broken clock is right twice a day.

[Skatastrophy]

My grandma has dementia and I though she made up the "unnatural carnal knowledgein Illinois pigs! Oink oink oink" thing she yelled out the window at a passing car once. Maybe she's just a Michigander at heart

[BallBoy]

https://www.chicagomag.com/chicago-magazine/may-2022/southwest-michigan/dont-be-a-fip/

FIP = People
FIB = John Snow

Regardless both Michiganders and Illinoisans can agree, the a—hole in the left lane, going 50MPH and wondering why someone used to driving on the Dan Ryan is passing them on the right as they refuse move over, is guaranteed to have a Wisconsin license plate.

[Spotcheck Billy]

Speak for yourself.

I don’t but the loudest FIB chanters do

I've found Michigan drivers to be far slower than Wisconsin drivers.

[BallBoy]

I've found Michigan drivers to be far slower than Wisconsin drivers.

That has not been my experience but even if they were they aren't in the "cruise" lane.

[NCMUFan]

I think SE Wisconsinites say "Thank you" for all the Illinois businesses that moved across the state line.

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

I remember the FIB vs Cheesehead accusations while a student.
Coming from Connecticut, it never made any sense to me.

[tower912]

We call some of them MU basketball players.

[warriorchick]

Glow and I went down to Illinois today to pick up a small teardrop camper we just purchased.

The total of the tolls going down was $2.75

The total of the tolls coming back on the same route was $16.80.

Adding a one-axle trailer to the car increased the toll charge by 575%.  Throw it on the pile of reasons why I am glad I moved out of that state.

[We R Final Four]

Self awareness.

[MurphysTillClose]

This thread is funny because I went to MU with so many virgins wearing piss-yellow AR jerseys to class. You all still exist? 

[willie warrior]

Never once heard Fib in 30 plus years living in Wisconsin. Heard Fips countless times.
Guess it is like bubbler now being water fountain.
Or maybe aina now being isn't it.
Or Prange way now Target.
Ah yes. Progress!

Wow, Prange Way, that’s a blast from my past. And, it’s drinking fountain. I kid. Clearly FIPs exists, it’s just a new one to me.

It's new to everyone except little willie, who has been mishearing it for 80 years.

I don't mishear Hardon of grade school. And I definitely hear your numbnuts BS.
What a clown show to the ignore button.

Have lived in Wisconsin 40+ years.  Have heard FIPs exactly zero times.  Have heard FIBs countless times for 30+ years.

Maybe it's like Sheepshead: most people play diamonds are trump but some people play clubs are trump and insist they're right.

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

Wow, Prange Way, that’s a blast from my past.

And I've never heard anyone think it was better than Target.

I have no idea what he was trying to say, but this is pure gold right here.

Hardon is a play on Hards
Grade school is calling him juvenile

We need someone to sign up to be rocket's translator. Maybe it rotates every week.

Is this accurate?

Twenty-nine percent of undergraduate students are from Wisconsin and thirty-seven percent come from Illinois.



From the Marquette Wiki.

FIB from Class of 02.

https://www.marquette.edu/institutional-research-analysis/interactive-reports/enrollment-dash.php

If you look at "Location" and toggle only undergraduate, it's 36.6% from Wisconsin and 39.5% from Illinois.

[MU_B]

Thanks.

This is why LLMs aren't so intimidating. For broad knowledge sets there's just not good data so they're training models on Twitter and Reddit, so they'll turn out to be slightly stupider versions of the existing russian bots.

Haha! Yes! Gottem

[PorkysButthole]

Porky couldn't give a pig's ears!   Although a proud MU alum, Porky believes MU's most glaring institutional weakness is its complete lack of geographic diversity.   They need far fewer students from WI & IL and far more from everywhere else.   The former provost and current interim president articulated to Porky personally less than a year ago that MU may be a national university but it has an extremely regional student body and increasing geographic diversity was a priority of his.  To his credit, he put some of MU's money where his mouth is and allocated almost $9M to the effort in the last budget cycle.  Hopefully it will pay dividends down the road further and strengthen MU's considerable momentum under Lovell who presumably had to approve and sign off on the allocation for that effort.

lol. Good luck.

Chicago is the most heavily recruited metro area in the country - and it’s 80 miles away from campus.

Marquette will be primarily a Wisconsin and Illinois student body for years to come.

Primarily, sure.

But with more diversity? Why not?

Hopefully you’re both right.

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

Because that’s not really how college recruiting works at most places. Schools concentrate their efforts where they get their greatest return. My guess is that undergraduate enrollment from WI and IL will be around 70% for a long time.

[MU82]

In searching for a new university president, Marquette has to at least check out PorkysButthole, no?

Porky is flattered, but Porky will be the first to acknowledge Porky is not remotely qualified to run Porky's local trade school or community college, let alone, an outstanding national university like MU.

So the 9 million MU spent was a waste in your opinion.

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

Yeah I would like to take a look at that $9M to know exactly what it is. My guess it’s just repackaged money that had already been budgeted.

[MU82]

They got me from Connecticut, and they barely even had to give me half as much as $9 million.
