The dumpster fire, smoldering for a year or so, has fully reignited....

Interesting perspective on the perception of Milwaukee from outsiders not part of the program or fan base. Not all that unexpected, sadly.
Funny story. Back in the early 70's my dad was on the Athletic Board when they voted to discontinue football. He was one of those that voted against that. Some things never change.
The problems go back to Zimpher leaving, honestly. That was the end.
Sadly.....the future of the Milwaukee Panthers looks more like this:

I have all but given up the ghost on this whole mess. The Chancellor doesn't care....he strikes me as another "I hate the jocks" ivory tower type that sees athletics as dirty, filled with and...
I am reporting this here (originally posted in the Recruiting in April 2016). It is still as valid today as it was almost a year ago, and as we all know, not one thing on this list is even being...
Cross posting a post from the Eunuch Board for visibility:
I complain because I want the program to succeed, and that does not equate to supporting which ever inept idiot is at the helm.
If you...
I, too, have posted on the Eunuch Board. I expect to be kicked out shortly. Here is a link to the post, along with the text itself for reference when it is "accidentally deleted".

I actually like Val. I sent him a note before the season wishing him well (no response....not surprising, given who he works for). I think he walked into a no win situation in many ways. The...
I have little sympathy for the "but he is really busy" argument. He is supposed to be busy. He took the top job. Did he think it was a 9-5 M-F gig? That he would sit in on a few meetings, run a...
An even better example is actually UW - Madison. For the entirety of my childhood, the Badgers were a joke athletically. The were awful on the football field and on the basketball court. They were...
Typically a coach is fired AFTER a last place single digit win season, not fired to HAVE a last place single digit win season. Either Braun is a counter-intuitive genius or she is a rank...
Fran: I appreciate your position, and I agree that the University as a whole has been mismanaged for a very long time, and not just Athletics. I would argue the root causes of all that failure is,...
But Braun has succeeded in one respect....she has ticked a whole lot of Social Justice Warrior boxes off, so despite her utter failure to perform her stated responsibilities to even a minimum level,...
I will not pay for a ticket. I will not even use a free ticket. I will not support, in any way, this program, or the University for that matter, while a usurper and a fraud is allowed to remain in...
ALL HAIL The High Priestess of Suck, Her Royal Highness, Queen of Downer Street, Lady Amanda Braun
Status Update: RPI - 282 - Not much to say here. There are 351 D1 RPI ranked teams. Milwaukee...

Her magnificence, Lady Braun, has had ANOTHER incredible idea to improve our incredible profile....
Hello last place, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still...
The Minnesota Golden Gophers are a lousy, rotten, no good, miserable, laughable, and lowly #5 in the RPI as of this moment.
They are also first place in the Big Ten, but as we all know, the Big...
Update on the 2017 Milwaukee Panthers:
RPI: 287....movin' on up baby. Soon we will catch some of the vaunted programs ahead of us like: Marist (252), Central Arkansas (253), Lipscomb (256), North...
Be as skeptical as you like. We know that the hire was made, in part, under the direction of a former "personal acquaintance" of the prospective employee, with no refusals, which is a pretty clear...
I vehemently disagree with this statement. Why they are where they are is, in fact, the REAL problem with the program, and the University itself. It has become a social experiment in athletics, and...
SO here we are....Preseason is over. Non-Conference is over. Conference season underway. Under our bold new leadership, how are we faring toward our stated minimum achievement of Sub 100 RPI and Top...
