    I got 13 of 16 correct in my bracket. Kentucky, Nevada and Drake were my losers.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    We can’t hang on to the ball tonight. This sucks watching them turn it over and over and over.

    Wisconsin looked unprepared in 1st halffor defensive intensity James Madison brought.

    Badgers out. The fucking season is over. Fuck the God damned officials. Fuck God damned Tom Izzo for starting that crap style - foul literally hundreds of times, knowing they will only get called for 20 or so, and the God damned officials will call them closer on the other team to keep the number of fouls even. Sometimes the Badgers play good enough to overcome that shit, sometimes they don't. Tonight they didn't. Fuck the damn NCAA for enabling that shit and fuck the God damned lame-assed commentators who just say "good defense".
    What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

    My favorite NBA player is Dennis Rodman and I was a “shutdown” defender playing hoops in my youth. Therefore, I actually dig that aggressive Izzo-style defense.

    Watched the game from a poker room, and let’s be real, yo. Wisconsin couldn’t score if they were in a brothel with a million frogskins - credit to James Midison’s defense. And Wisconsin’s defense itself was as defenseless as 77 of the Mavs playing defense. I coulda defended better than any of the Badgers in this game, and I ain’t played hoops since I shut down Charles Darren in a pickup game on the Wisconsin-Stevens Point campus in 2004.

    The better team won, I reckon and whatnot.

    Btw, Tex, received and read your recent PM. Good post. Inspiring.

    Just like I always say about the NFL - I'm not a pro football fan, I' strictly a Packer fan. I also don't give a damn and won't even watch God damned NCAA basketball now that the Badgers are out.

    The SHIT goes back to the God damned thug Piston teams - Laimbeer, etc. (were you a fan, Fritz? I'm pretty sure that's where God damned Izzo got that bullshit style. It's downright disgusting that the God damned officials enable and reward it. and the God damned commentators praise it.

    The controversy about firing Gard or not is heating up again. I'm about 50/50 on that, maybe 60/40 for keeping him. I really wish Gard would come out with a statement that a team playing not to foul is at a bad disadvantage to the thug teams, and that starting next season, the Badgers are gonna sink to that level of shit too. I'm really fed up with seeing crap teams get away with that shit against Wisconsin.

    Is there a sport that you understand that you CAN follow? You think Wisconsin played not to foul and JM hacked them out of the game? That ain't close to what happened. The Badgers were out-run and out worked by a hustling team that came ready to play and win.

    1. Turnovers WI 19 JM 12. In the early going WI had 9 turnovers to JM's none
    2. Steals WI 6 JM 14 But I supposed Madison fouled every they stole the ball, eh?
    3. Fouls? James Madison had 1 more 20 - 19
    4. Rebounds, JM by one 37 to 36

    UW got beat in all categories and took an 11 point loss on the chin. This was an ass whipping, no excuses accepted.

    I agree with one of your statements. You are not a pro-football fan.

    Frist off, Tex tends to always thing the Badger and Bucks get screwed by the refs; I acknowlege that completely

    Secondly, Wisconsin was clearly not ready to play. THey were outcoached, outworked, and James Madison seemed more talented and aggressive.

    As you know I do bleed red and white and I'm not a Greg Gard Fan....as I say.....Greg Gard...great guy....always good, NEVEr great, and I want to be great.

    With all that being said, the officials set the tone for this game by letting James Madison foul over and over and over without calling fouls. They were ultra bumpy off our dribbles, ultra bumpy when we picked up the dribble, and when we were posting they were pushing and shoving. Again, I get the tone the refs set, which was to pretty much let them play and ignore all of this.

    And WI didn't lose due the refs. But with that being said, it was an absolute joke that James Madison didn't have double the fouls they did. We played soft, and passive defense and there was no foul discrepancy at all. It was a shitty job by the officials.

    ONCE AGAIN, NOT BLAMING the loss on the refs. The Badgers were not ready in the first half and they couldn't take the jabs James Madison kept throwing. That's on the coaching and players.

    But if I was Greg Gard I'd have completely lost my shit and Bo Ryan would have reacted very differently that Grego did

    And YES, I know, I'm a horribly Bad Sport, and my wife constantly tells me that. But I turn that shit around and let her know, I'm an incredibly gracious winner )) I'm the best sport in the universe after a win !
    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?
