OK, on to the next page starting today......... Howard Moore seems like a great selection for a lot of reasons, but every new coach sounds liike the "right" guy." Is Indiana having some nervous thoughts right now? ? Anyway. I hope UIC and Milwaukee maintain and further develop the great athletic rivalry that could exist, for the right reasons. Similar schools, situations, ideals, even some overlaping recruiting areas, great geographies..... Let's have fun with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know next to nothing about Howard Moore.
But I would still take him over Crean any day of the week.

Are you kidding me? Moore over Crean.
Least you and I hate the train the state wants to build.

No I'm not. Crean is an a$$. I wouldn't want him coaching any team I cheer for.
Wait, how do you know I'm against that rediculous train idea? Did I post something here about it? I don't remember.

I can't believe you don't know who I am by just my screen name alone. I smoke with you at the Cell and saw you at the NCAA toury at the BC.
We talked about the train at halftime with milwsport.

Oh yeah!!! Now I remember!!! Sorry.
I have a problem with names. I've been at my current job for almost 8 years. I still have to look at the names on the cubicles for some people who have been here longer than me. And sometimes that's in my own 15 person department. I don't remember names very well at all.
I'm constantly asking the person who sits next to me, "what's that person's name again". Just terrible with remembering names. I think I damaged that portion of my brain a little too much in college.

That part of your brain must have had the, er, training cells in it too.

C'mon, Get On the Train! (I can't find an icon that dances, unfortunately.) I wrote a sort of lengthy response not about whether I think it's "right or wrong," but about why I think Scott and Mark are on the losing side of this issue politically, but on reflection I really didn't want this thread to veer off into politics. Back to UIC; word is that at least one other guy from the Wisconsin staff (not a coach) will join Howard Moore at UIC, and today he announced that he has hired the Hyde Park coach from the CPL as ana assistant. Howard is clearly planning to recruit the CPL hard. That's a two edged sword, as we know. Great talent, but it's hard to find kids prepared well enough for the college experience. Kind of like MPS. Howard's a great guy and I hope it works out for him.

Loosing side? More than half the people don't want this thing. Why spend all this money on something that only 6k, less than 1% of the people in Wisconsin will even use.
All right I'll stop there.

I dunno, I think a lot of Milwaukee people will use it to get to Madison for Badger football and a lot of Madison people will use it to get to Milwaukee for Brewer games. And Panther soccer.

More than 70% doesn't want the train. Sorry BP, people will not use the train for Badger games. It doesn't take you to campus. You would still need to pay for a taxi to the game.
Fix the Hoan Bridge that 50,000 people use a day!!

Fellas, the place to go for lively political discourse and debate is ramblermania.com.
Here, we're crazy enough to actually talk about basketball.

"I dunno, I think a lot of Milwaukee people will use it to get to Madison for Badger football and a lot of Madison people will use it to get to Milwaukee for Brewer games. And Panther soccer."
Not at $40 to $60 for a round trip ticket they won't. You'll load up the car with a cooler and your buddies, and split the $20 of gas money. The entire idea is terrible, and the people driving it do not care one bit about the wants or needs of people in Wisconsin.
Maybe a mod could pick out these posts and create a new thread down in the off the court section?
