In an interesting twist, the UWM athletic department SID states it is 35-0 in favor of MU. <BR/><BR/>That is why we stated 35-0.<BR/><BR/>And with the information we had at the time, 6 for 1 was accurate. It is more appropriate now to state 7 for 2. Please note, however, in past JS articles it was stated 4 for 1 and not 4 for 2.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10389503.post-1151448526467894802006-06-27T17:48:00.000-05:002006-06-27T17:48:00.000-05:00Just a minor correction, but MU is 34-0 vs UWM, no...Just a minor correction, but MU is 34-0 vs UWM, not 35-0. Just thought you'd like to be accurate in your reporting of the facts. (this is according to both school's media guide's, BTW)<BR/>And isn't it slightly disengenuous to say that UW-Madison is "effectiviely" playing UWM in a 6-1 series when the actual series is a 4-2, with three additional "buy" games in Madison that UWM is being paid for? (which would then make it a 7-2 "series", if you wanted to overlook the fact that three are guarantee games) This was reported by the JS, by the way. <BR/>Perhaps you consider a paid "guarantee" game to be the same as a road game?<BR/>-JasonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
