It is rivalry week. UWM comes to town as two once proud programs square off at the Resch Center at 7pm on Thursday night.
UWM has a new style under a new coach. I would best describe their current play as a hot mess that some opponents can’t help but touch and end up burning themselves. UWM will beat themselves if you let them. A guy like Browning is the kind of guy that GB has struggled against. Yet he is also the kind of guy that will make a lot of sloppy mistakes. UWM wants to get teams sped up and play into their swarming athletic style. Teams that can stay calm and make smart plays will allow UWM to eventually implode. What team does GB wants to be?
I get that it is hard to get up for a rivalry game when the energy has been sucked out of the rivalry for a long time. UWM fans are riding high because they have a new coach who actually engages them. Green Bay on the other hand hasn’t seen a low this low in 40 years. None of that matters to me, I still hate losing to UWM and Will Ryan is 0-4 against them. That has to end right now.

Yeah IUPUI and Green Bay is going to be a real barn burner. UWM comes to town as two once proud programs square off at the Resch Center at 7pm on Thursday night. Speak for yourself. UWM has a new style under a new coach. I would best describe their current play as a hot mess that some opponents can’t help but touch and end up burning themselves. If we took care of the ball we'd be receiving votes. UWM will beat themselves if you let them. We turn the ball over to make it a game. We had 22 turnovers against SEMO tonight and won by 16. We had 20 turnovers against UC Davis and were #3 on the Sportscenter Top 10. We lost by 15 at Iowa State because we had 27 turnovers. Can Green Bay beat us if we have fewer than 25 turnovers? A guy like Browning is the kind of guy that GB has struggled against. Yet he is also the kind of guy that will make a lot of sloppy mistakes. A guy like Vinko Polovic is the kind of guy that GB has struggled against. Our whole team makes sloppy mistakes. We're gonna turn the ball over a bunch and still crush your team. UWM wants to get teams sped up and play into their swarming athletic style. Teams that can stay calm and make smart plays will allow UWM to eventually implode. Yeah you should get one of those teams to play for Green Bay. What team does GB wants to be? I think they'd settle for being a team that could beat St. Norbert by double digits. I get that it is hard to get up for a rivalry game when the energy has been sucked out of the rivalry for a long time. It's hard to get up for the rivalry game when you know your program is stuck in the mud for year 3 of 5 of your current regime and your archrival's new coach assembled a pretty good team in a couple months. We got Kentrell Pullian in August, he was available up to then. UWM fans are riding high because they have a new coach who actually engages them Milwaukee fans are riding high because we have the most athletic and deepest team we've maybe ever had (I'm not saying best or most talented) and beating the crap out of good teams is fun even though we turn the ball over soooooo much. Green Bay on the other hand hasn’t seen a low this low in 40 years. None of that matters to me, I still hate losing to UWM and Will Ryan is 0-4 against them. That has to end right now. Will Ryan is a Panther spy that we planted to end your program. In all seriousness, I know you guys are glum so I wanted to play the villain to get you excited for the game. Unfortunately I started a new job so I'll be working Thursdays and will have to settle for organizing a watch party in Milwaukee for the game, so make sure you're loud and proud and let's put some jumper cables on this rivalry. Trounce 'Em Pounce!

A few things for PantherU.
1. The address to your home arena is 400 W Kilbourn Ave. Since you took half a decade off of being a proud fan I wasn't sure if you knew where to go for games.
2. I took the liberty of reserving a four top at Axel's for your watch party. I thought that would give your group more room to spread out.
3. They will never fix the turnover issue. It's a side effect of playing the style at this level. The players that can do it that they can get have some flaws in their game. I'm not saying it won't win games. In fact it will probably win enough to get Lundy a better job without giving Panther fans much more than false hope.

Hey welcome back Jimmy!
I was wondering what happened to you. Turns out you’re just another fair weather fan coming out of the woodwork after a few wins.

Is this PantherU guy serious? I mean how about you worry about your own team that is absolute trash too. Thank you for repeating, a bunch of things about this trash GB team, that we have all said before. UWM had the #4 recruit in the country last year and was one of the worst team in the Horizon league. That is pretty impressive if you really think about it. Your program is not in much better shape than ours. You best hope you don't somehow lose to this GB team.

Either you guys didn't read all the way to the end or I re-signed my lease to live rent free in your heads with how pissy y'all got. I'm most disappointed in Brian. You're funnier than this bruh.

You guys are talking WILD for a program that is 0-6 on the year and just got wrecked by a school that was D2 last year.. If you’re saying we suck, you clearly need to look at your own school first. Imagine being 0-6 and talking smack about your rivals “sucking” at a 5-3 record.. couldn’t be me. See you Thursday at the Resch

See you Thursday at the Resch At least there is self-awareness that we are fucking terrible, better than the inverse, which is delusion. As for our “coach,” he did successfully dupe a few people on here and at the university into thinking he could right the ship, but he can’t. That’s honestly been his biggest accomplishment so far. He’s a failure. Though, what could you really expect from a UWM alum?

Just putting this here so I can say I told you so. And Will Ryan is not worthy of a division one job at this point, he got the job because of the family name and no less and we all know it.

Still went to games every year even when times were tough. Are you implying your own fans complaining about Coach Ryan's regime are somehow lesser than yourself? 2. I took the liberty of reserving a four top at Axel's for your watch party. I thought that would give your group more room to spread out. Quality over quantity. I'll take both if I can get it. 3. They will never fix the turnover issue. It's a side effect of playing the style at this level. The players that can do it that they can get have some flaws in their game. I'm not saying it won't win games. In fact it will probably win enough to get Lundy a better job without giving Panther fans much more than false hope. You didn't answer my question. Can Green Bay beat Milwaukee if we commit fewer than 25 turnovers?

Separate the “I’s” from the “You’s.” I have always maintained that Will Ryan was woefully unqualified and unprepared and was strictly a nepotism/nostalgia-type hire. I have maintained this team is absolutely awful. Others on here? It’s a mixed-bag. I also maintain that the Panthers are awful, too, and you can book your spring vacations early. You’re not going to be watching the black and gold in any sort of tournament other than a Chuck E Cheese Mid-Major Extravaganza. I can’t wait to see what the line is so I can at least make some money off of this mockery of a basketball contest.

It's only impressive if you ever believed he was the so-called "#4 recruit in the country" in the first place. He comes from loser genes. Look no further than the loser he's named after. But I digress...

Did Linc Darner look that bad in a satin jacket?
