The Other Side Of Wojo's Ledger

[GGGG]

Choosing 1994 would barely give you dozens of matchups to even consider, so it would defeat the point.

At the end of the day, my point is clear. The pissing matches on Scoop are getting so obnoxious. It's all that happens on here lately since we can't be excited about basketball.

No. Your point was inaccurate.

While MU dominated the rivalry for much of the time, it has become a one sided rivalry. The black sheep in the State has overcome MU and really cares little about the game. We are far down the rival list. Funny on how things change.

Fine. Swap the word "dozens" with the word "plenty" - it's the exact same point being made. We have won in Madison enough for it to not make a difference in whether a coach is considered worth keeping around or not. It's much different in terms of value to the program than beating a #1.

Not sure what you mean? You are saying we never played a game being ranked #1?

No, but during the Al years as great as we were we were second fiddle to UCLA. Generally, UCLA was ranked No. 1 and sometimes we were ranked 2nd. During that time period UCLA had two of the greatest college centers of all time. 3 years of Alcinder and three years of Walton. The year between those two three year periods, if my memory serves me correct, UCLA won the national title with a 29-2 record. In a seven year period they won 7 national titles.

Thank You for the history lesson. I think you should hit google and do some more digging. You are correct UCLA had a pretty good run and we were #2 during that run, but little more to the story.

They may have won 7 straight at some time (too lazy to look it up) but they lost to NC State in the semis (MU lost to the Wolfpack in the finals) of what I think was Walton's senior year (1974).

Might have been a bit better than seven and they did lose to NC State in semis in ‘74. Major disappointment to me that we did not face them in championship game.

Won 7 straight, but it was through Walton's junior year (1967-1973). Won 10 in (I think) a 12 year span.

I was thinking if it was 9 out of 11 or 10 out of 12. Really wanted to play Walton in ‘74.

Not if you go by online presence. That main Badger forum, Buckyville or whatever, obsesses a TON more about Marquette than Scoop does about them. They also spend more time trolling MU fans and accounts on Twitter. There are MU sites that obsess about Bucky almost as much, but certainly not this one.

Definitely did not dominate it except for that Al and Rick chunk. Also don’t think it’s as one sided as you make it out to be. But maybe gauge for recent history is different than mine.

Marquette 9, Wisconsin 8

That was a battle.

[MU82]

Because I believe we will have a number of NCAA Tournament wins between now and the 2nd week of April 2019.

Ah. Embarrassed that I didn't surmise that. I think (and hope) you're right!
