WE'RE THE REAL "GOLD"

[PantherTime]

It's only fitting that Marquette would want to try to horn in on and copy Milwaukee's true College Basketball fans of the "GOLD" nation of UWM Panther fans.
Best student section in the Midwest!!!!! and clearly the best in the city.
Not like those gutless, puffed up, suburban Chicago rich kids that supposedly call themselves college Basketball fans over at Marquette.
Marquette's invisible attendance turnout at the NIT Tournament was proof enough.
Spoiled Babies.

Have fun being the "Gold" you suckers.

PLUS, UWM CAN ONLY LAY CLAIM TO THE BEST FAN EVER, BIG TOMMY, THAT CAT BEATS ANY INDIAN OR EAGLE ANY DAY.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH

I’m going to try and be jovial right now and diffuse this situation. On behalf of the board I thank you for joining our board. I would also like to commend the pride and enthusiasm you have for your beloved panthers. I too myself feel that there is nothing greater than being a Panther fan watching panther basketball games with some krazies. A few suggestions though.
1. The War with MU has been called to a cease fire on this board.
Hate MU wherever you want but please keep in mind that many MU fans that have good basketball knowledge come on this board from time to time. I would like to keep a long lasting relationship with those posters. But to be fair, I think we all agree that changing your name twice with in 4 years is silly especially when you’re final product ends up being the gold. But in light MU’s season it’s just not right to kick a man while he’s down. Just because UWM is up while MU is not so up, does not mean we should “hate” on our neighbors. There are plenty of older posters/alums here that could tell you stories about the older days when the klotsche center had 15 people in it. And the panthers well, they lost.
2. Claiming Milwaukee is the best city and the panthers have the best fan base in the mid west
Once again I think that’s great that you think that. I love Milwaukee too. I love the panthers. But the panthers and Milwaukee is not right for everyone. Or at least they have not come around. Talk like this is just encouraging other board members and people from bigger schools and bigger cities defend their school or city. I’ve been down that road before. Example, I got into a Chicago v Milwaukee debate. They said Milwaukee is full of hicks who are fat. I promptly told them that Chicago was rated the second fattest city in the nation according to men’s health magazine. Now some people might be calling check mate. But the true point of the whole situation was that we talked jack about basketball and more about city size. I mean come on, does size really matter? (in basketball it does)
3. Use common sense.
Wait scratch that. I use common sense, but I’m will to take a bullet for Chris Hill bc I have a man crush on him. So my common sense is bias because I love this team so much. Think about how your post will affect everyone else out side of Milwaukee and the panthers. This board has been growing at a rapid rate and we would like to see more members from different regions of the USA. Maybe into Canada someday. (oh Canada) We do not want others to think we are full of ourselves due to one sweet 16 run. We want posters to come here and look forward to talking about basketball.


In short, I guess I am asking you to be a little more sensitive when you are typing. In no way I am perfect.
-Sitting behind UDM’s band and yelling stuff
-Raging drunk posts on other schools boards
-Sucking at base running

However, this last tournament I had the pleasure of going to all the Panther games in Cleveland and Rosemount. I spoke with people from AZ, IL, BC, WAKE, and whoever else we ran into. All of them found the Panthers refreshing to watch and they thought our fans were just great to be around. I would like to think we can keep up this new found reputation on the national level. Remember you represent us and the rest of the panther fans on this board. I already make a big joke out of myself (cough softball) I really don’t need two people making me look bad. And if that doesn’t get you to calm it down a bit, remember, if you type cool things. The alums like you. And they buy you things like tasty beverages. Mhmhmhm tasty.

I agree that the MU dickriding has basically stopped, but come on, they're the MARQUETTE GOLD. How can we NOT take shots at the fricking name they have selected. This is possibly the third funniest sports related thing this year, after Randy Moss "Straight cash, homie", and Mike Vick's turn as that dastardly Ronald J Mexico.

youre right. but there is a good way to make fun of the golds an a bad way. if youre looking for a good way. see the off topic section. Hackpanther can give you a crash course. his stuff is so funny.

to admend what i said earlier, if you are going to make fun of mu please keep it more on the fun side. im sorry if it seems like im calling one person out. My intentions was to try and keep some peace.
please remeber reporters amonst other people with a microphone read this web page.

Man don't let this Administrator position go to your head here...you're starting to sound like the Admin. on the UIC board telling what you can and cannot post. Yeah the "why won't MU play UWM" bit has been way overplayed and is buried...but to say we can't discuss a new topic that pertains to them and speak with UWM pride is obsurd.

[mqtgoldenchickens]

MARQUETTE GOLD- that is AWESOME! I will be LAUGHING at this one for a very long time. Even more reason to despise them.

Just because the 5 or so people that post on this website every day of the year try to dictate content, doesn't mean the rest of us that do other things have to stick to their topics/opinions. Even if those guys blast us with comments and rolling eyes if we state our opinions on here. Admin, you do a great job on this site, but don't let those guys dictate what we should post. Some of those guys serious need to take a time out from posting and get a life.

I will never stop talking about Marquette being too chicken to play us. I have lived in many different areas of the country and this blows my mind that they walk around thumping their chests to us but won't step up when when challenged.

STUDENT T-SHIRTS SHOULD BE BLACK NEXT YEAR!

I think Dunzz has a point, which is this: Are endless posts bashing MU what you want to spend time doing? Perhaps more to the point, is this what you think other readers want to spend time doing? I think Dunzz is asking to keep this board relevant to the UWM Panthers.

I mean, we could bash a lot of other team names in town. Let's talk about Lady Popes! Okay, it's a high school name -- but where would you draw the line on a board that's supposed to be about the UWM Panthers?
Only other colleges' nicknames? And only within the metro Milwaukee area? And is that four counties or five counties? Again, this could go on endlessly -- and could discourage people from reading and participating in this board at a time when Dunzz is trying to build it up.

So, can we at least compromise on this? ONE THREAD and one thread only clearly labeled that it's about bashing MU, so that people who want to read about the UWM Panthers don't have to read about MU!

I understand. The uic board is flooded with little arguments like that all the time. I do not want this place to turn into the UIC board nor do i want to dictate what you say. If you really want to take something out of my suggestion. Its not what you say, its how you say it. Please do not assume that i was trying to censor anyone or dictate topics.

[milwsportsfan]

Hilarious. I am so happy for MU fans and university. Those pompous a$$holes got what they deserved.

[PantherLou]

This topic does not belong here.



EDIT: It belongs in "Off the Court", because it has nothing to do with UWM basketball.

[aknowsense]

After reading the original post I don't really see where this person crossed the line......Maybe w/the assumption that everyone at Marquettie is from Chi-tilla and that it isn't a "gold" thing it's called a silver spoon AKA Ricky S. Anyway to bring in old stuff "I'm a Lebowski your a Lebowski".....The post isn't really all that bad it's just not about UWM hoops but c'mon it's fricken May there isn't a lot going on in the world of college hoops aside from draft rumors which would be NBA hoops.....Am I wrong??

[bball30]

It doesn't fit, because no one cares about it

[coacheinerson]

I'm wearing black next year... I think that's what we should've been wearing all along.
