I'm very happy to see many new people are joining the board, and have interest in a Marquette vs UWM game. Many members here, however, aren't fans of heated discussion about the game anymore. In fact this message board used to have a section solely dedicated to this inane UWM vs MU b****ing. Many a heated battle of words have played out here, on the MJS Marquette basketball forum, on the MU rivals board, and on badgernation. The truth to the matter is that nobody is dodging anybody. Marquette doesn't fear us because of recruiting reasons, or think we will take Milwaukee from them. The two programs have had hard feelings toward each other after the series was dropped in the early 90s (we backed out). MU hasn't agreed to a deal with us because they have viewed us as asking for too much, and we have pissed them off by some things said through the media. In one case I think Bruce called MU out on the radio by saying that we would play them anywhere anytime.
Does MU think they might lose the game against us? Yes, I'm sure they know its possible. Would it be a great game that many people in Milwaukee and even Madison would enjoy seeing? Yes, it would be a great game (No matter what some MU fans would tell you). Will b****ing about it on a message board help? NO! so just give it time, I fully expect it to happen with Jeter here as coach (ties to MU).
So here is how I see it. The occasional rip on Tom Crean's skin color, or poke at the "Gold" nickname fiasco is totally fine. Lets refrain though from screaming for this game to happen, and no more "f*** Marquette" shirt or chants, no matter how fun they would be.
Thats pretty much a summary to the best of my recollection of how things went down. Other members probably have better memories since I've only been lurking this site since just before the 03'-04' season. While we may have never beaten MU at basketball, be sure to take pride in the fact that they mainly beat us when we weren't even DI and also that we have a much superior men's soccer program than them ;D
