They say the third times a charm! I hope that holds true for Nebraska! 😼 This is also the third time for Wisc trying to win a natty. So I hope it doesn't hold for them, in that sense.
There are more deserving, more established programs in front of them in the line. They need to step back.
And who, exactly is "more deserving"? Is that a thing? One earns a final, it's not handed to them. You realize when you insult the Minnesota natives playing for the Badgers you are, by default, insulting the MN team because you are suggesting if only those MN natives stayed home, MN would be a better team. |

I wasn't vulgar, I wasn't mean, I wasn't even really disrespectful, at all.
And you resort to childish name-calling? Are all Wisconsin fans like this?
dude, stop. seriously. if you want to root for nebraska, then root for nebraska. you don't have to say that wisconsin program isn't worthy of a title because others haven't gotten one. that's childish. but if your version of rooting for nebraska is tearing down wisconsin and its fans, then we don't want you rooting for nebraska. these wisconsin seniors deserve to be here and if they win tomorrow, then they deserve the trophy. so take several seats and chill tf out. |

But how many finals were they wearing Under Armor uniforms? Similarly, other things that had nothing to do with what I was talking about? My question would be how many have any tangible effect on the outcome of tomorrow's match. I'm guessing zero. |

The new drinking game is “hard to beat a team three times in one season.” Please disregard Louisville over Georgia Tech, Nebraska over Illinois, and Wisconsin over Minnesota. At the same time, though…can we pretend it’s true? Just this one time? For me? Regardless of the result, GBR one more time. The concept that it is hard to beat a team three times in one season might have some meaning at the BEGINNING of the season before any matches have been played. It has no meaning whatsoever when two of the matches have already been played. |

No one was tearing down anything. It can both be true that Wisc deserves to be there (they do) and that other programs are more deserving. That isn't anything close to tearing anything down. |

And who, exactly is "more deserving"? All measures are arbitrary choices to some degree. That said, I choose the measure of number of final four's. Florida = 8 Minnesota = 6 Wisconsin (including 2021) = 5 You realize when you insult the Minnesota natives playing for the Badgers If you insult your home state by playing for Wisconsin to compete against the Gophers, then you lose "native Minnesotan" privileges. |

Let him see an entire thread of boxes Life would be much easier, if you could just "block" people who won't say what you want everyone to say.
But life is not that easy. People don't agree on everything. Echo chambers are boring and unhelpful.

While I don't think this needs to be said, and perhaps will be ignored, I will state anyway:
I'm mainly just trying to provoke some interested, "spicy" conversation. None of this is meant as personal attacks at any other poster.
And I have lines in the sand for how silly I go. Sure, a lot of what I say and have been saying is silly. That's just fine.
There is no point in having a message board, if it's just an echo chamber.

If everyone hates your opinion, is it still trolling?
