I'd much rather see the Packers in the Super Bowl than the Badgers in the Final Four.
Now with the Badger Hockey team lost last night I almost fell into a deep depression about WI sports in general this season...........until I realized Brewers Opening Day!
Its hard for me to say because I was born and raised in Madison so anything involving the Badgers is exciting to me. Badger Football and Basketball are some of my favorite things along with Packers Football, so i cant choose which hurt more because each loss left me with the same feeling. But if i had to choose one right now it would be the loss to the Giants because the game was close the entire time and we had a great chance to win it, wherein the Badgers looked exhausted from the get go.
my team (syracuse) sucked this year, but i found great pleasure in your teams loss against wisconsin for one reason only. a great deal of your fans were all over this website stating things like your team doesn't get enough press, we play better "d" than georgtown and davidson has no chance against us, our team is hands down better, wait to our great "d" gets a hold of curry, yada yada yada.
then your team comes out on friday and lays a huge goose egg on curry and could only muster 40 something points, losing by almost 20, priceless.
i understand thinking your team can't be beat, but coming on here stating it like it is fact is just the wrong thing to do. as i said to those fans that said you guys would easily beat davidson, it is d-1 college bball, any team can beat any team, especially with such a great player like curry on the other team.
You do realize that there are more Badger fans on here than all but three other teams, right? So of course there's going to be a few more homers and idiots saying pro-Wisconsin things than other schools have. I challenge you to bring me a post from one of the better Wisconsin fans saying that it was a fact that Wisconsin couldn't be beat. Don't be an idiot and stereotype 4,000 fans because of what the bottom of the barrel says.

The Packer loss was worse (as a fan) because it was in the semifinal and all they had to do was make a play here or there and the game (and the trip to the Super Bowl) was theirs.
No comparison... The packers game by a long shot... I watched the game in Brett Favre Steakhouse in Green Bay, and when the game was over and we were walking through the streets to get to our car (15 minute walk), i didn't hear a word said by anyone. Everyone who is a Packer fan just got stabbed (figuratively). Personally, i didn't recover from that loss for a week.
Packer loss...it was right in our grasp, home field advantage...a win away from the Super Bowl...the magical snow game the week before...makes me nauseous just recalling it all. While I love the Badgers, I think they would've been smoked by KU anyway so it might have been just as well.
Definitely the Packer's loss. This was a year we were supposed to go to the Super Bowl. This was supposed to be the historic drama of Favre's going away victory. We lost to a team we would have beat 8 times out of 10 and lost a QB without the wold-stage going away party that his career deserved.
Wisconsin was a disciplined team that out preformed it's expectations and left all of us appreciative of their success. I do think that we would beat Davidson most of the time, but we would have been longshots to win the whole thing, and an underdog in the next matchup. I'm left with a good feeling for the season, another banner for the Kohl Center, and a sense that we represented our maligned confrence well. This was a good basketball season, the next one should be even better. I can't say the same for the Pack.
I also picked the Packers loss, That said neither the Packers nor the Badgers were supose to have this good of a season. I think the Pack was picked early to go 8-8, someone was way off. The Badgers were picked to be number three in the big Ten if that. They Won it outright. So yes both losses were disapointing. But both Season were alot of Fun. Thankd Bo, and the Badgers for a great season.
