RE: Wisconsin MBB @ Toledo?
the legendary Coach Dean Smith would do this for all his out of state players at North Carolina.....and he wouldn't just schedule big name state a hundred miles from his player hometown. He always promised he would take the Tar Heels the player to the closest D-I campus, if there wasn't one in his town, for the kid's family and friends to see him play once.

That was the buzz when Jimmy Jackson was being recruited out of high school. Smith let it be known he was going to come to Centennial Hall if JJ went to Carolina.

I don't twitter but wouldn't a link help?

50k seems a lot. Maybe duh'local and Toledo News organizations will get on board. Be a big game and credit to Whisky for scheduling a loss.

I gotta believe this is a joke or a publicity stunt, or both. Can't imagine a coach leaving his schedule up to the whims of twitter. Plus, Hayes will be a senior this season, right, so it would have to be this year. Hard to believe UW doesn't have their schedule already filled out. Perhaps they have already agreed to a game with UT, and this is just a way to advertise it? I don't know.

A lot of teams dont have schedules finished at this point.

See if they'll do a package deal and play the Rockets in FB again.
I enjoyed my trip to Madison.

I did too...2nd start of my career at DE as a RS FR...only outweighed by their OT by about 90lbs...probably the start that eventually got me moved over to TE a few weeks later.

maybe UT ought to send out messages and emails to all alumni and current students with how and why to retweet. 7,313 retweets as of this morning. Thats a poor showing from a school with a good fan base.

I just posted it on the UT facebook wall and the Rockets facebook wall to spread and post.

Anyone contact the school about this? Maybe WISKY will be nice and offer the game anyhow.

Hey Coach Lamont Paris, how about a little unconditional love for your players?

I'd be ok with a 3 for 1 too.

Wisconsin at home would be great.

RE: Wisconsin MBB @ Toledo?
The home game would have to be next year for us. Would there really be an advantage to them to have us on their home schedule three years in a row? I don't think they'll ask for that. I suspect they are honoring a good career put in by one of our locals, if the locals are willing to earn it. Kudos to them. If they insist on a couple home games to boot, at least then it would be their choice.
