Wisconsin Herd Thread

[Treebeard]

Hey, Herd play-by-play guy, It's "alley-oop," not "olley-oop."

You got me thinking about where the term alley-oop came from.

From wiktionary:

Borrowing from French allez-houp, cry of circus acrobat about to leap, from allez (“go: second person plural imperative”) (from Old French aler (“walk”)) + houp, of unknown origin

Not content with that nugget of wisdom, I did the Google translation of "Allez-Houp". It comes out "Go Hoop"

Now we can all function better today for expanding our universe....

Wizards' G-League team, which starts playing next year, will be called the Capital City Go-Go. And jut like that, Herd doesn't sound so bad.

Capital City Go Go is my absolute favorite G-League team name and will really play well in DC. Thought they embraced the sillyness and tied it into the local culture in a really cool way. I would would honestly rather be the “Wisconsin Cheesecurds” than the Herd.

Caught some of the game on FB. If it were up to me I would give Alexander and either Mumford or Young two way contracts like now. And if Vaughn isn’t going to play, cut him and sign one of these guys.

That's a tremendous name. Go-Go is quite literally the homegrown music of DC and I think they knocked it out the park. Distinctive, fun and local-centric.

Probably not a good thing that I cringe and go "wtf?" at every movement DJ makes on the court. Such an awkward, unnatural player. What a wasted pick.

I too enjoy cheesy minor league mascots. My favorite is the Brewers minor league team, the Biloxi Shuckers. I even have this hat:

DJ went to the D league and did all the things we drafted him for and showed a more diverse skill set than I thought just based on that highlight package. Weird time to rip the guy, I mean I wish he did that in the NBA, but it’s good to see he can do some stuff

While I agree he played well, I just cant ever imagine the stuff he does working successfully in the NBA. Like, ever.

Oh I have my reservations for sure but he gets that shot off pretty easily and appears to have plenty of range and decent hands. Hoping he becomes a better version of Mirza

Hope we're wrong, but I agree. Slow and herky-jerky. I just can't see it working unless he develops old Toni Kukoc-like IQ.

It definitely makes sense and all. I just think it sounds too goofy, even tho I'm usually on board with that (love UC Santa Cruz Banana Slugs, Wichita Wingnuts, Akron Rubber Ducks).

And don't get me wrong. I HATE the Herd name. The logo is even worse. Oshkosh Aviators would've been my choice. Or Oshkosh Flyers. Or Oshkosh Otters. I wish they would've gone with Oshkosh over Wisconsin too.

True to your username, old wise one.

That jumpshot seems broken and he had 4 rebounds. He will fit right in but we don't really need another looks like Tarzan plays like Jane. Henson, Thon and Telly have that covered.

[MVP2110]

Seems like we are wasting all of our 45 days with GP2 & Bolomboy

That's what I was thinking. Other than the spot up jumpers, I don't want him taking any of the shots he took.

[Baddy Chuck]

We have to bring up Munford soon.

[Tfence92]

64% 3pt shooting is bad, right?


When does olympic basketball start, cause he is on the team for that.

[Wiscfan92]

We have to bring up Munford soon.

Yeah, but why do that when we can just trot the Jet out there?

You think towel-waving is easy?!! It takes years to get that form down.
