PrintWhat's a Hate Week? you ask. What does it sound like? This week, YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles prepare for the Rodents of Madison by watching film, practicing sets, and carbo-loading. We do the same, except we carbo-load HATE.
We begin, as we do every BADGER HATE WEEK, by remembering the long and illustrious history of UW-Madison basketball. Here's a list of the NCAA tournament appearances by the Badgers from 1947-'48 to 1992-'93:
Fantastic.

I am just waiting for the list of....
…..the number Rose Bowls Marquette football has been apart of in the last 16 years, 50 years?. Perhaps you could give me the last time Marquette was ranked #1 in basketball in the last 20 years? How about any post Wade accomplishments? How many “Big 3” has Wisconsin had that got so much press but accomplished so little?
I am not a UW basketball guy either and generally I call them as I see them in this ‘rivalry’. Today, my Rose Bowl fire was just doused by a stream of Ruby’s Marquette Gold colored urine.

Wow.
If I knew Badger fans would get so worked up after one little post, we would’ve done Badger Hate Month instead of Hate Week. This gon’ be F-U-N.
Also: per Mr. Kensington’s excellent suggestion, we’re going to keep track of all the “oh yeah, but you don’t have a football team” retorts from Bucky fans.
I’m not smart enough to look at the other stuff and do anything but drool and mumble.
I thought it was funny
What’s the point of playing this game every year if you can’t spend a week ripping on the opposing team and their fanbase?
Also, Marquette doesn’t have a football team. Boom, roasted.
Get a ife broseph
That's what I'm sayin'.
Sports are the only refuge in this overly-politically-correct world where I’m allowed to hate something. And I intend to take full advantage this week.
Also: your team missed playing for the national championship because you couldn’t beat Michigan State. In football. Think about that for a second.
I’m not smart enough to look at the other stuff and do anything but drool and mumble.
Eh, I don't know if they would have finished ahead of Auburn or Oregon
But point taken.
Get a ife broseph
Hmm.
If y’all had TCB’d against the Dantonis, you would’ve been top 10 — probably 6 or 7 — going into the matchup with tOSU, and the win over a No. 1 team probably vaults you to top 3. Can Auburn overcome that? Maybe.
What, what the shit do you have me arguing? Goddammit, you’ve gone and confuzzed me during Hate Week.
I’m going go nuke a parrot to feel better.
I’m not smart enough to look at the other stuff and do anything but drool and mumble.
We're honoring Chad Alvarez?
In that case I’ll get really drunk and run on the field at the next Brewer game I attend.
Get a ife broseph
I am inspired.
Thank you, my friend.
This is now the CHAD ALVAREZ MEMORIAL BADGER HATE WEEK, brought to you by GE Appliances.
I’m not smart enough to look at the other stuff and do anything but drool and mumble.
The logical sponsor would be the Shoe Box, right?
Keeping it in the same time period as Chad Alvarez’s illustrious Wisconsin career
Get a ife broseph
You say that like Chad isn't a 17th year senior now.

I attended Whitewater and tales of...
this crazy b*stard littered any decent drinking party back then.

Yeah, I hear you..
Of course, I led with the obvious football stuff, but then made sure I switched to basketball. I mean, what’s the point of having a shiny new Rose colored Cadillac if you can’t take it out and show it off?
Anyway, I would love Hate Month to extend, just in time for the holidays.

Couldn't really qualify for the Rose Bowl in the last 50 years
seeing as we didn’t field a team and that is kind of requirement. But I digress, Marquette has not been part of a Rose Bowl since 1902.
Kudos to the Badger football program for making another appearance.

The proper response:
Marquette has been undefeated in D-I football for the last, like, 40 years.
I’m not smart enough to look at the other stuff and do anything but drool and mumble.
That is usually how I would handle it in my household
but I wanted him to feel all warm and fuzzy that I actually took the time to provide a legitimate answer.
More importantly, I should have highlighted that during that same span UW-Madison put a basketball program on the the court that was less than mediocre until 1994. I guess the football players didn’t like sharing the spotlight with the tall white guys in the short shorts.

Right here is my point...
You seem to find more honor in not having a team at all, rather than having one that sucked, like UW did for many, many years. At least Wisconsin bothered to put one together.
Oh, and Michigan State would house anyone in the Big East, anywhere. The Mountain West is a better football conference than the Big East.
by Brew Town Boozer on Dec 6, 2010 3:33 PM CST up reply actions
Really?
You’re going to wear “we ran a shitty football team out there for years and years and years” as a badge of honor?
For years, people went just to see the Fifth Quarter. You made MINNESOTA look like a competent football program. That is a terrifying thought.
I’m not smart enough to look at the other stuff and do anything but drool and mumble.
Yes I am
But not with a straight face.

The Badger fans are much too affable here.
I’m going to head over to the J-S for a while. If I’m not back in 15 minutes, blow up the Internets. Don’t wait for me to come back.
I’m not smart enough to look at the other stuff and do anything but drool and mumble.
Obviously they haven't had a team...
But when hate week premiers just hours after the Badgers accepted another Rose bowl birth, it certainly is fair game to be mentioned.

I like this part about how they "accepted" the invitation.
“You know what? I hear Charlotte is nice in December. Fuck it, we’re going to the Car Care Bowl.”
I’m not smart enough to look at the other stuff and do anything but drool and mumble.
While inefficient....
The NCAA learned their lesson the year they let teams just come uninvited to any bowl they feel they deserved….

Rose Bowl Appearances
Congrats in placing 8th in a gene pool that’s effectively 20 participants deep. Hell, UW needed this year’s appearance to surpass Bama’s 6 appearances and they haven’t been since 1946. Poor Indiana…

Holy shit.
Michigan State has made it FOUR times? That’s the upset of the century.

They were a huge powerhouse in the 50s & 60s

Nice List
Now do the same thing except since 1994. Nobody from the Big 10 is higher than Wisconsin.

How did you randomly pick that date?

Wisconsin beat UCLA for their first Rose Bowl appearance in quite some time. They have now gone back 3 more times since.

That is the date Pennsylvania's own
Barry Alvarez led the first charge.

Some of us have a favorite college football team around here
And you don’t want to open that can of worms…trust me.

Hey
Where did Barry Alvarez go to school?

Wisconsin owes their storied 16 years of football "tradition" to a Husker
But, but what about Crazy Legs and Alan Ameche?

OK, this one is hard to even type....
But it will be a long, long time before Nebraska equals the legacy Indiana has established in Rose bowl appearances.
by Brew Town Boozer on Dec 6, 2010 5:31 PM CST up reply actions
Well, considering Nebraska already has two appearances in the Rose Bowl...
Hey, I warned you.
There are 4 non-Big Ten / Pac 10 schools with 2 appearances each. For brevity’s sake, I omitted them. I guess I unwittingly set a trap for Badger fans that believe college sports started with Donna Shalala

Wait, wait, wait.
Truncated timelines is the subject of TOMORROW’s post, dude.

You got me
I was at the gym already preparing to say something clever upon my return when it hit me. I didn’t even need to look it up when I came back here to take my medicine.
I also just thumbed through my Wisconsin football scrapbook and I guess there is some history in it before Coach Morton.
As for next year, as I have told the Admiral, fear not; there is no way the Big 10 has any coaches of the caliber of Mike Sherman. Also, thank goodness Nebraska escapes that bear trap of a Big 12 North.

and into a divison with...
A tottering michigan, northwestern, 7-5 iowa, the paper tiger spartans and Minnesota.
Regarding Mike Sherman – Ron Zook, Tim Brewster, Bill Lynch? Everyone has trash

I don't care who wins.
Since I’m the odd duck who likes both schools. Just give me a good game.
And a season ending injury to Jarmusz.
Noooo! You can't root against Beeker
