I never mentioned his name, and the issues are barely even related to him in any way at this point. This is, was, and ever shall be, about the AD and the Chancellor. UW-Milwaukee is run by an incompetent idiot and he has an even more incompetent idiot in charge of the most public element of the University.
Do you not get the difference between that and a coach several years ago?
Sure you do, but you prefer to ignore my point, and manufacture another one yourself and then argue with me on that. Anything to avoid having to defend the indefensible idiocy coming out of the administration.
Whatever. I really don't care much anymore. If they shut the whole damn thing down tomorrow I doubt I would bat an eye.

Yes!!! Another thread derailed with Jeter talk...my favorite. You know it's REALLY off the rails when Nighthawk chimes in with his vitriolic diatribes... For people that have claimed for 2 years now to "not care anymore," Fran and Nighthawk sure seem to reappear as regularly as dandelions in the spring, or in Fran's case, almost daily. The funny thing is that a lot of the few of us that are left here were just as outraged at the time as those two still seem to be. The only difference is that derangement never took hold in the rest of us. And FTA is right, Fran. You are the sole person who brings up Rob in 95% of your posts. Even those of us who like Rob as much as you do have been tired of every single thread getting hijacked for 2 years. It's time to let that chapter close, and deal with the problems of the present, many of which took root long before Rob was fired.

I think it’s obvious that I care more than 99.9% of fans — just like the other 6-8 people who still post here.
The plain truth is that unlike a very, very, very small group of people, most of our fans obviously disagreed with the decision to fire Jeter. I’m among them. Most clearly saw our AD’s actions as reprehensible. I’m among them.
If that was not true, where have the fans been the last two years? I asked that question months ago and ... crickets. I’m sure the JDS crowd will have some alternative-facts theory for the terrible crowds we will see again next year, but it is what it is.
Anyway, like I said, my original post was about something positive — the apparent renewed interest in recruiting Wisconsin high school players. Without anything approaching Rob’s long experience and extensive contacts and outstanding reputation among Wisconsin high school coaches, PB/not BP is clearly not likely to be able to recruit as well. But it’s good that he’s trying.
Carry on.

Why do I post here? Honestly, that's a great question.
Maybe it is just my nature to speak my mind.
Maybe I cannot abide stupidity, even over something I have lost most of my love for.
Maybe deep down, in places I don't like to talk about at parties, I want UW-Milwaukee to win. I need UW-Milwaukee to win.
In any event, if Fran and I didn't post here, there would be 4 or 5 of you sucking each other's dicks imagining that next year will be the year it all turns around, we land a bunch of heralded recruits, dominate the Horizon league, which will be filled with Butler level competition, and we will make that dream run to the Final Four, and Amanda Braun will be named AD of the Year and given a f***ing statue on Downer Ave, and her name will adorn the new $100 million practice facility.
Seriously, too many of you are sycophantic ass kissers living in a fantasy world.
News flash, guys. Your (or maybe it is still "our", who knows?) program SUCKS. Not just a little...a lot.
We are a joke. We are Oakland 10 years ago. The team every wants to schedule for their "warm up" game at the beginning of the season. Jesus....we wish we were Oakland now....they kick our asses all the time (1 win against them in 3 seasons).
We are not even able to get 3 D1 programs to come to our "tournament" and one of the D1's we DID get was 10th place in the CAA (Elon).
You remember that "tournament, right? The one where we managed to lose to a Concordia school BY FOURTEEN f***ING POINTS AT HOME.
I COULD HAVE PLAYED FOR A CONCORDIA SCHOOL IN COLLEGE....and THEY BEAT US!
Tonight Loyola Chicago made the Elite Eight. The same Loyola Chicago we used to laugh at, mock, and routinely destroy on the court. Oh yeah, they are also in the MVC, while we are still in the Horizon "League" (and I use that term loosely). Butler made 2 Final Fours and Championship games, and moved to the Big East. Valpo joined Loyola in the MVC.
So yeah....I am the ass hole becasue I dare tell the truth. I dare to point out that the program, as it is, stinks to high heaven, while all you "smart people" continue to believe all is well, and we will soon be on top of the world. Fran and I dare to demand accountability from those in charge while you all kiss their asses.
Keep focusing on Fran and I while Downer Street burns....honestly, at this point you deserve the program you have because you accept failure and idiocy with a smile on your faces, and attack people like FRan and I who demand better. With "super fans" like most of you, it is little wonder why Milwaukee sucks as bad as it does...there is no pressure to win.
Maybe next year we can hang an NCAA Participation Banner in the Panther Arena....why the f*** not?

Can someone please ban this guy? ... the sooner the better Yes. Whoever is an admin should ban him. And honestly, whoever he is, forever. This is the second time he's said something like this, the first under a different name. Absolutely offensive. Dark Hawk, whoever you are, get help. You've shown on multiple occasions that you need it.
