12.5 Morning Coffee: Suck It Bucky Edition

PrintDamn you Michigan State for not making Saturday a Badger sweep. Didn't realize a glancing blow to a kicker was a penalty. It'll be nice watching Oregon drop 50 points on the Badgers.
For Marquette to go into the Kohl Center and beat UW without their starting point guard? Unbelievable. You think UW beats Marquette at the Bradley Center without Jordan Taylor? Not a chance. UNC gave MU the blueprint: suffocate Taylor at the point and the body falls apart. The defense the Warriors displayed in Madison on Saturday was something to behold.
Kudos to the three freshmen: Derrick Wilson for killer defense, Todd Mayo for some timely points and Juan "hope it wasn't the Marcum game" Anderson with five rebounds.
Sometimes you can't always rely on numbers: 7 assists, 13 turnovers, 3 steals, 2 three pointers and Jae only scored 2 points. And yet Marquette won handily. The finally tally was a seven point win, but it really wasn't that close. Marquette was in control pretty much the entire game.
Lastly: suck it Badgers. If you care enough to tweet, it does matter.
Bring on the real UW Tuesday in NYC.
Since Alabama couldn't beat LSU at 'Bama, they get another shot on a neutral site. #blowuptheBCS. Up yours, Saban.
OK, time to stop the 3 goggles. (via wake up call)

In the Madison.com recap you linked to
Bo says he’s not going to use the travel as an excuse.
They (presumably) bussed to Hoffman Estates, IL on the 24th, stayed there until after their game on the 26th and then bussed home. Then they (again, presumably) flew to Chapel Hill on the 29th, then flew home after the game, getting back very very very early on the 1st.
The Marquette game was on the 3rd.
Exactly what travel here was the problem that it was important to NOT use an excuse?
Restoring carousel. Come help.
The quote makes it unclear
as to whether he was asked about the travel first.
I would like to believe he was asked about it, and then I would like to punt that reporter in the head.

Schultz was probably covering a city council meeting or something along those lines
Since he isn’t part of the sports coverage anymore.
Regardless, I don’t think its a ridiculous question. The Badgers had their first real road trip and played a really good team, then played another really good team 3 days later. Its worth asking (what if Bo says guys were tired? That’s a story right there). I would also agree with Bo that it is absolutely not an excuse.
Get a ife broseph
Two bucks says it was Tom Oates, then.
Anyway: I guess I’m not clear on what the question was. If they’re asking: “Are you tired because you played a really good UNC team on Wednesday?”, that’s one thing. If it’s: “Are you tired because you had to fly charter back from North Carolina and the flight didn’t get in until 1:00 a.m.?”, that’s another.
We pull our pants up and do our jobs here.
If there was a question.
The article doesn’t make it clear if he was answering anything.

Luke Winn gave some love as well
We all have to chase one rabbit. If we try to chase two rabbits we won't catch either of 'em.

While it may seem silly to point out
I think we won Saturday because the entire team was wearing Wade’s newest kicks (FlyWade2) and while I think they look worse compared to their predecessors, the color kicked ass.
Except for Jae
Unless Jae got black Wades.
