I remember walking to a game through about a foot of snow while in Krush. I don't recall what year or who it was against, but I remember the walk.

You will be an old head someday, I wonder if you will still feel the same.

Back in the day (yes, my head is now quite old), we used to call the pricy-seat crowd “Blue Hairs.” But our criticism wasn’t their age; it was their habit of sitting on their hands and watching the game as if they were watching Schindler’s List. The stadium is a lot more raucous now with the new seating configuration.

And also the fact that their complaining was the impetus for the ushers starting to give the thumb to anyone who would move down into an unoccupied A-section seat at halftime - that did not endear those folks to us commoners, either.

Get out quickly and maintain a lead especially by the 10 minute mark of 2nd half.....Wisky is not an easy team to come back against if they have a 6-10 pt lead at that juncture of the game

I'm 99% sure I've watched wisc mutilple times this year almost throw a game away they led by 15+. MD, NEB, and Houston stand out to me. Minny tied it pretty late. I believe all of those games came away from Kohl and I think the advantage the badgers get at home is well documented.

I see the line opens ill -6.5. I'd bet it closes closer to 4 but I also still don't see the overall appeal of wisc. At home I like us winning.

From a long-term perspective, Curbelo is not only one of our two best players. He's our best player. An absloute wizard with the ball who has Steve Nash-like handles and court vision. I expect him eventually to be an NBA All-Star.

I've never posted here, but read all the comments. Has anybody noticed we seem to lose every time Curbelo plays? If you exclude the beginning of season cupcakes, I think he's 1-4 this year. He may have great ability, but he makes a lot of unnecessary fancy passes and the team seems confused and tentative when he's out there. He also turns it over a lot with stupid plays and bad shots. He has no business shooting outside of 7 feet with the shooters he has around him. He's clearly trying to feed it inside, but our perimeter game shuts down. Trent, especially, shuts down when he's out there and, in my opinion, any hope of a title of any sort start and end with Trent Frazier.

The kid (Curbelo) has played one healthy, non-exhibition game this year, and it was his first back after a long layoff (Purdue). He played lights out. Good grief.
