Nice job Mateo! I'll bet Tex hears about your comment. HA! I know where he posts these days.

Do you still have that hottie as your av?

I've never figured out how to reprint it on here.  Thanks for the kind words Scott!!! d;o)

If I ever make sbfotw I will be sure to add mex to my least favorite posters

How is UW basketball overrated in comparison with Marquette (who had so much hoopla and finished 2-6 when it counted the most)?  I am not trying to start a war here but I think you can only have one or the other there.

Mentea = TPB...Your definately entitled to your opinion, as I am mine...so don't worry, you'll probably never make SBFOTW.

U Dub Dub- I respectfully disagree.  The question asks who do I think is the MOST UNDERAPPRECIATED TEAM in WI:  IMO, most of the undeappreciation comes from Badger fans.

I think if you were to compare both programs, look at the conference each team plays in...BIG TEN vs. BIG EAST, add the fact that Buzz Williams was a first year coach, their playmaker went down late in the season, UW's Bo Ryan has had a lot more time to build that program, I came to the conclusion that it's Marquette Basketball.

When it comes to the most OVERRATED WI TEAM, I went with the opposite.  If Bo Ryan isn't able to pluck more talented players from a bigger talent pool, would you think they're overrated comparing them to a smaller school that went farther against much more difficult competition?

Look who MU played down the stretch.  4 of their last 6 games were against top 10 ranked teams, and they were in every one of those games.  

Congrats Mateo:)

Thanks ptisme :o) I appreciate it.  

I'll tell you how much I like Mateo: He rips UW like a Wal-Mart pair of jeans but I can't get worked up about it. Dude is just solid.

Hey, M: Are you really a pilot? Now THAT is cool!

Mateo,

I see your points but we will have to agree to disagree on this one.  

Buzz Williams may be a first year coach but Marquette was a top-15 team loaded with senior talent coming into this season... and that was with their first year coach.  They were expected to win some of those games against the top talent in the BE and came up short every time.  I don't like the excuses of "who they had to play" because if you want any credibility, you have to beat SOMEBODY at some point.  I believe Wisconsin was matched up with #5 seed FSU, coming off an ACC championship game appearance and win over the national champion-favored Tar Heels.  As Badgers fan know all too well from this season... playing tough and losing close games still count as a loss at the end of the day.

I see your point as well U Dub Dub.  We will have to disagree, and hey, I might be headed to UW in 2010.

Crichar, yes I really am.  I a few hours short of my Multi-Commercial but returned to school and with work, I'm really busy. I'd like to knock it out in the Summer though.  I'm lucky that I'm acquaintances with a doctor who's been flying for 20 years and has a BeechBaron Turbo.  I don't pay to fly with him, and every so often he'll call me up and we'll take off somewhere...which allows me to build up multi-engine time.  I don't want to be an airline pilot, but I'm a huge advocate of general aviation. I just can't  afford my own plane. Flying is always fun and challenging, I encourage everyone to try it out!
