If, you are serious, How much and how will we settle it? I will wager a friendly bet. They might get beat by 20. Jeter will not be able to adjust and they will turn the ball over numerous times just like last time. If I recall dude came off the bench to drop 19 on em. This team is gonna start to quit. But then again, Jeter already did! I will give you 13 points for sh*tz and giggles. Final 71-57 |

Wright St has had trouble here in the past.
Hopefully that stays true tonight and the Panthers pick up a win.

Sadly, I wouldn't bet against the Panthers losing by double-digits.
After all, the weather's bad, it's going to be a half-empty gym, it's tough to play in a D-3 facility, it's hard to regain your mojo after losing seven of 11 games, the team isn't having fun anymore, it's tough to play four games in 12 days and ...

(That could include anything related to UWM.) If I win make a $30. donation to the Alzheimer's association in memory of my Father. Fair enough? |

I hope you guys follow through. Hell, I may donate! |

Panthers up 38-23 at the half!
Now we need to keep our foot on the gas and not have one of our 2nd half collapses that have been all to common this season.

Wright State is playing terribly and giving them the game.
Nothing that the Panthers did. That was just a flukey, lucky half.
etc ... etc ... etc ...

Happy with the win but boy is no lead safe this year.
We shouldn't have to sweat out ever game that we go up 20 in. At least we escaped this one with a W.

Myself, 1 other die hard Milwaukee fan and another "almost" die-hard fan had a conversation with then "AD Geiger" in 2012. They can refute my observation from that meeting. But what we were paid back from our recommendations was simply lip-service. We came there to address serious branding, student/general Milw. fan engagement, facilities issues. And we were quite frankly- treated like SH**. I appreciate what Mr. Geiger did for all of his other schools- but he did nothing for UWM. In fact he brought Milwaukee down more than a couple pegs. Odd happenstance.... I thought someone of his stature and experience would have taken his interim AD job ($200,000/yr) a bit more seriously. But no. He cut us off at every turn. Ignored our suggestions and essentially told us "I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU- I AM RIDING OUT INTO MY RETIREMENT SUNSET... Good LUCK UWM!!!" That my friends- is f'd up. Sorry if I ruffled any feathers, but what I speak is the truth and I don't pull punches. GO PANTHERS!!!! (despite your lack of support from the University). Hate me all you want, but I call it like it is. GO PANTHERS!!!!I was the "other die hard" fan. My good friend Dan, a creator of the Bucks' Squad 6/Sector 7 cheering section, was the other "almost" die hard who graciously volunteered to join us to lend support and possible ideas. I left that meeting with the worst taste I've ever had in my mouth, having heard every possible idea about growing our program and fanbase from all three of us either blown off or patronized (FWIW, this was over a month before the move to the K.C. was announced). From that day on, I knew that Andy Geiger would be just another in a long line of A.D. failures for us, so I was not surprised in the least when the move back to our campus gym was announced. Funny story... In the meeting, Andy Geiger LITERALLY told me, "you are a part of the (marketing) problem" simply because I had the audacity to take it upon myself to create a Panther fan t-shirt based on the "Winsconsin" t-shirt that uses the Vadgers motion W. The only problem with that assessment is that less than a year before this meeting with A.D. Geiger, I had emailed several UWM administrators and athletic department personnel with a very well thought out and detailed marketing proposal, volunteering my shirt idea to the AD, to be given away/sold as part of a ticket promotion, or however they saw fit, with ANY AND ALL PROFITS GOING TO THE ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT (and trust me, based on the demand and sales I've had, there would have been a lot of profit for the dept). As we've all come to expect from our leadership, I got the cold shoulder. And to add insult to their ineptitude, less than a year later I get told that I am part of the problem by Lord Geiger. What tremendous insight, Andy. Why don't you go dump another glass of wine on a reporters head, and then turn around and tell everyone that THEY are no longer allowed to drink in public at your "pullout bleacher school". Hypocrite. Several years ago, right around the time we hired A.D. George Koonce, I started a new job in the beverage industry, and I volunteered to donate products from my work that could have possibly saved the athletic department thousands of dollars a year. I did not even get so much as an email back. Unbelievable to me (at the time). Not so unbelievable after everything I've experienced since. |

"If I win, make a $30 donation to the Alzheimer's association in memory of my Father."
God bless you, brother. That's a tough, tough disease to witness.

As for the game, let me say this:
Reports indicate that as Providence was chipping away at what was once a 19-point Marquette lead last night at the Bradley Center, some lowlifes in the stands were booing the players during what has been an arduous season.
Thankfully, I didn't witness any such behavior among those assembled last night at the Klotsche Center as Wright State was deleting what had been a 20-point Milwaukee lead. Instead, several on hand stood and cheered in a unified effort.
Nicely done!
