As "one of those" I've never had any issues with my basketball support. I was still an MU season ticket holder both years I went to school in Madison for grad school. The only basketball games I have ever been to in the Kohl Hole have been against MU, and I've actually only seen Marquette wins there. This has always been an easy decision for me. Even when I was in school there, I was that one a$$hole at the bar on campus whooping it up as they were flaming out in the tournament. I'm not above using my UW alumni status to get a better seat in Madison every other year, but that's as far as I'll go in seeking out UW basketball connections. To this day, I refuse to own any article of clothing or collectible with Bucky on it. A man has to have principles in life, right?
Preach, bro!
I am in a very similar boat - lifelong MU fan (my dad was a season-ticket holder since I was about 8). After going to MU undergrad, I ended up in Madison for a couple years working on a graduate degree. But there was
NEVER a question who I was cheering for. I always wore blue and gold around campus. And not only have I always cheered for MU against Bucky, I rejoice in each and every Bucky loss. The fact that they suck this year is awesome. Let 'em lose every game for the rest of the season as far as I'm concerned.
Buck the Fadgers!
