Fun reading material

If there was ever a year to avoid reading their boards this is probably it. I usually get pretty worked up about this kind of stuff, but I've come to accept this is their year. Although the "mid-major" stuff is going to come back and bite them when we start winning again.

I agree litehouse. It helped my psychological condition once we landed HE. It's rare for a mid major to recruit a top ten player. I've now come to accept we will be fine even if UW wins the national championship. We can still recruit Wis players. That said, living in Madison it will be a difficult season to endure.

The only people in the country who think MU is a mid major are the hard core badger fans......

With the G-Town and Butler game technically a non-conference game, does the BE non-conference record go to 41-6 after the completion of the game or do they throw those games out? I would think the latter, but don't know.

It will go down as a win and a loss in non-conference. Last year we could have had a similar circumstance when we were in the same tourney as Creighton. Xavier was supposed to be in the Orlando Classic this year but changed tournaments to Anaheim.
