If only we knew who killed it.

Gotta be honest, I have utterly no interest in the program this year. None. What could have been a great season has no chance whatsoever of being that. And what was accomplished for this sacrifice? Absolutely nothing. In a BEST case scenario, in three or four years LaVall might have the program back to where Rob already had it. That's the best case scenario!

I'm sorry for LJ -- he seems like a good guy. I'm sorry for him that he didn't wait for an opportunity at a place where he could work with people who he could be sure would support him and his program. That's not Milwaukee. Here good people -- players, coaches, fans, boosters -- and good programs are tossed over the side without any realistic plan or capability to replace them with something better. It makes me ill to consider it.

Fortunately for me I have been a Badger fan almost as long as I have been a Panther fan. Gard is a also a very good guy, and he has a great group of kids who will have a great season. So let's go red. Jimmy, if that irritates you, you need to consider something: any argument you want to make that what's good for Wisconsin (or that others might make about what's good for Marquette) being bad for Milwaukee? Utterly irrelevant in an era when we have made our own program irrelevant.
