The irony of it all...

Thursday's matchup in Albuquerque has it's share. Freddie Owens, the Griz second year assistant who started for Ryan at UW in 2003-04 was born in Milwaukee....and so was Wayne Tinkle! Then there's the long shot prospect of a second round game between the purported Harvard of the West

versus "The Harvard of the East" if both the Badgers and Vanderbilt lose round one...Yeah, right.

In any case, Wayne has probably already made Owens hoarse by now from reciting all he knows about Wisconsin's slow down game.

I thought we were playing Wisco, not Stanford.

Harvard is the Stanford of the East.

And none of this is irony. Coincidental, not ironic. Grammar Nazi mode: off

That was a long time ago and women's hoops has changed, it was fun to have been there at the time.

I thought Harvard was the University of Montana of the East.

...or perhaps comparing your a$$ with a gopher hole?

Would comparing yours with a badger hole be ironic?

It would seem to me that there is a little irony in the fact that Owens has presumably some allegiance to Wisconsin, but will be attempting to help their opponent win.
