    Who cares about high school recruiting anymore in a world of the transfer portal. The stars are only staying in college for a year anyway.

    Overall I am just ready for a change. Storr or whatever his name is is leaving they're reporting. I'm sure he has options. NIL killed college sports, my god.

    Houston/Texas A&M game was incredible. Houston won in overtime despite having 4 players foul out. TAM came back from 10 down with 1:17 left to force overtime. None of the top 8 and only 3 of the top 16 seeds have been eliminated. .

    How about that! The crap little team that played over their heads (not to mention getting their thug Izzo style enabled by the God damned officials) to beat the Badgers reverted to normal and turned to shit against Duke. I hate it when that happens. Oh well.

    I'm still 50/50 or 60/40 for Gard. As I said, I wouldn't mind at all if he sunk to the level of using that bullshit Izzo style which I hate but which teams get away with nowadays. I disagree that he is a bad recruiter. He just misses on a lot of Wisconsin high schoolers for whatever reason.

    For the record, Bretsky, yes I absolutely do say the Badgers consistently get shafted by the God damned refs, but the Bucks not so much. The NBA was horrible for bias 10 or 20 years ago, and the Bucks were among the biggest victims then, but things have improved to where now, about the only time that bias shows up is when the Celtics are playing. For whatever reason, they clearly get favoritism. As for enabling thug defense, I've noticed that the Bucks have turned it up a notch or two on that in the past few games with Rivers. Whatever works, I guess.
    What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

    The great recruiters who can coach are still KING

    Because UW sucks at recruting, there are always going to be NIL options who can come to UW and play a lot.

    The NIL has saved Gard lately. Storr and Klesbitt.....take those two guys away and we'd be up shit creek
    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 ?

    Other game was decent until the last 10min.This one is turning out to be a good one. UConn was my obvious champ so let’s see if I get taken out.

    Good to see any team lose from North Carolina. UConn all the way.

    In other sporting news, Cody “American Nightmare” Rhodes fucked the odds and defeated Roman “Tribal Chief” Reigns at Wrestlemania 40. The American Nightmare’s victory is indisputable proof that the WWE was, is and has always been scripted.

    It doesn’t make your school a winner!! Besides, Edey isn’t locking as much like Godzilla tonight against someone his size.

    Oh shit he just went crazy on some blocks!

    I'm not a big Badgers fan. I grew up on Notre Dame.

    Purdue has a shot if Edey doesn't run out of gas.

    He is getting worked hard. uConn looks like the biggest overall team they have faced in the tourney.
