...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.

They actually might be a bad match up for MU. Based on past history, they generally do not turn the ball over. The game will depend on three point shooting and free throws.

There's not really a joke I can come up with that tops this:

Wisconsin Basketball.

What is it about MU dentists that annoy people so much?   

Wish this game was later in the afternoon.  Not cut out to start drinking pre-noon anymore.  However, it must be done.

Raaabid anti-dentites!

Got some spare change in your couch to invite a Badger player to the next scoop function?

Pay them enough and they will swing by.


I wonder how much Bo would charge to come to your parking lot.

Love Storr, Janicki, and Candelino pricing themselves specifically to undercut Winter.

Fat, slow pitch right down the middle, Tower?

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

I agree that I think we take the rivalry more serious but who do you think their rival is? Minnesota? Iowa? As a Michigan resident, I know it's not UofM or MSU...but maybe they think they're rivals

A few years ago, Wisconsin beat Marquette in Milwaukee.  About two months after that, I went to a Marquette game, and as Marquette was destroying a conference rival at home, a fan behind me said, "man, I wish we could have played this well against Wisconsin".  It just brought me so much joy that the loss to the Badgers was still on this fan's mind months later.

He musta been sitting right in front of Viper.

Thanks as always, Eeyore.

A poster there clearly has a host of issues with his stepfather, a retired dentist from MU.

High crime rates

We need to speed them up. Teams that play at their pace haven't fared well. It doesn't need to be a track meet, but get it into the high-60s in possessions and I think we win. That's what both Tennessee and Providence did in their double-digit wins over Bucky. We can do the same.

Over the last 25 years or so, UW and MU have been generally at a similar level of success.  UW likely has the edge with some nice runs in the NCAA.  This year, MU is the better team and Saturday's game, win or lose, will not change that at all.  MU will be competing for a top seed in the NCAA and UW will be scrambling to get in. For that reason, this isn't a must win in any sense.  It would be a nice win, or it would be an inconsequential December non-conference road loss.

This one I question:

Story:  My nephew, who played hockey at UW and coached at Mequon Homestead, has a daughter who was friends with Buzz's daughter.  This was a number of years ago.   The daughter, maybe 8 at the time, was invited to Buzz's daughter's birthday party.   Staring at all the Marquette stuff at Buzz's house, he asked my grandniece, if she was going to go to college at Marquette when she was older, her answer "My dad told me to tell you that Marquette is my safety school"

Not sure I believe this, but if true, what sort of douchebag uses his 8 year old daughter like this? Especially, when she was invited to a birthday party.

LOL, Buzz always recruiting...

Or on

Are any of the players past or present on cameo? We could do a scoop fundraiser to get one to say "go Marquette!"

I read that to mean those are the two possible scenarios from Marquette's perspective:  a nice win, or an inconsequential December non-con road loss.

Nice story about Karley Marotta and her family that Ben Steele had reposted on X:
