	Alright, it's a stretch, but if we Davidson Friday, and by some streak of chance wind up playing and defeating Villanova to reach the Final Four, the University of Wisconsin and NCAA needs to give us the official nickname 'WILDCAT KILLERS!' It would be three straight games facing 'wildcats'. The t-shirts, cardboard placards, and banners should already be in production. I think then we should be defeating Louisville in the Final Four since they stole our color for their name...and then crush the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers in the Championship game in honor of Bascom Hill. See it just all fits together...it's gonna happen...just wait... Okay...seriously...I'm done now : P GO BADGERS!!!

	and then crush the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers in the Championship game in honor of Bascom Hill. Or because it would give the Badgers a third consecutive year beating a team named the Hilltoppers. I'll just go ahead and explain that right now. Back in the day Marquette's nickname was the Hilltoppers. If I can't call them the Warriors, I'm going to call them the Hilltoppers. When they had the general vote for what would replace "Gold" as the nickname Golden Eagles got the most votes because they younger voters all identified with it, but Hilltoppers had a very strong showing because of all the older alumni. Warriors would have won, of course, but they wouldn't count it. I'm almost 100% sure it broke down like that, but I'm sure GoPack will correct me if I got it wrong.

	I believe that Marquette University High School is the hilltoppers. That is correct. I don't remember why the university changed its name in the first place, I'll have to ask my grandpa the next time I see him. Wow! What are you guys smoking or drinking??? That was funny though! I'm not. One midterm at 5:30 Thursday night and another at 8:50 Friday morning will kill the fun. But I'm pretty sure the committee that decided on "Marquette Gold" was passing something strong around.

	Still awake ... though I feel like the walking dead. Or at least the studying dead. Parents: don't let your kids grow up to pull consecutive all-nighters. After I get home from work at 10:30 pm today ~~I'm passing out and~~ I'm watching the Badger game and then passing out until 1 on Saturday. I think that'll give me enough time to shower, eat, and get to the Kohl Center before the first hockey game. It would be a lot easier to study if I could stop wondering how much playing time Taylor and Wilson will get next year. I swear to god my grey and white matter is actually cardinal and white. Have fates aligned?...new Badger nickname? There may be a change for next year that has to do with the basketball team, but I'm waiting until after the season is over to bring it up in order to keep the conversation going for a little while longer. It's safe to say it isn't the nickname changing. And Bucky isn't being replaced with a miner, either.

	"I swear to god my grey and white matter is actually cardinal and white." And fMRI's would show iconic images of motion W's and possibly a faint profile of Bo Ryan?

	Yeah, it's really not that much of a tease. Bo has already talked about it, at most it's a face-lift type change. I don't know if they'd see Bo. There's plenty of W's up there, but right now there's a definite lack of motion. I can't think anymore. Work is going to be a loooooooooong and unpleasant experience tonight.
