Well, last night sucked.
I am not going to lie and say I expected the Badgers to lose. Davidson was a one man army and Michael Flowers was a great defender. I thought Curry would not be a factor. If he was, I would have been able to ”chillax” in regards to him doing a third verse same as the first performance where he puts his team on his back in the second half and Cousin Skeeter goes on to the Elite Eight.
But that wasn’t what we got. We got the Badgers getting their ass kicked. This isn’t hating just to hate. That performance was the worst they put on all year. Sure, Duke kicked their ass, but you could at least pin that on an inexperienced team getting shook on the road.
Yeah, yeah, whatever dood…
You couldn’t pin that one on Bo Ryan as well.
Now, I know what you’re thinking. How is this Bo Ryan’s fault? Isn’t he a really good coach and stuff? Does he not Superman that Ho with Style and Aplomb?
Well, let me answer your questions with a question of my own? Say your swingman (Joe Krabbenhoft 6′7″ 220) matches up physically with your opponents post player (Amir Lovedale 6′8″ 215), and say you have 8 players that you really want to use, and one of them is a member of the walking wounded. Why would you not work the ball inside? Why would you not treat Davidson like you would Michigan State? Why would you chuck up 17 threes in the first half?
Why would you not go Dick Bennett on their ass and make the game as boring as humanly possible? Or if you have to go faster, why would you not take young Brad Lohaus out of the mothballs and see if his 46% from beyond the arc was just a matter of small sample size? If you aren’t going to adjust why not get creative with your personnel?
It was a ridiculously poor game in terms of planning, and the Badgers ran out of gas because of it.
Temper check.
Okay.
Moving on.
Jon Leuer a young Brad Lohaus? What if you make it catchier, like Yung ‘Haus or ‘Haus Jr.? I may even endorse ‘Lizzle Hizzle’

NewHaus. With an Umlaut. That’s how it would reoll nickname style.

hey at least one of the Flowers boys won. Did you see Winona St. mount a furious second half surge to grab the d2 title?

Indeed. Winona State is like a baby Destroyer of Worlds.
Because they’re only on National TV once a year, you see.
It still doesn’t mean the Badgers aren’t frustrating me. I’m down to Badger Hockey as my last hope.
I hate hockey.

You know what didn’t suck? Me + Drunk + Monocle

You know what? That still doesn’t make me feel better about the game.
And Badger Hockey at least kept it close when they got beat.
17 POINTS! TO DAVIDSON! CHRIST!
