Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been following closely as Wisconsin makes its run through the NCAA tournament. After the Badgers outlasted Arizona Saturday night to advance to the Final Four

[Michael.SF.]

I am no fan of Aaron Rodgers, but my respect for him was raised a bit on this. He is 100% right, let the teams have the spotlight

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

GO WISCONSIN! KICK SOME BLUE-GRASS!

[afraidfortherepublic]

Aaron Rodgers reacts to fan criticim that he was allowed on the court after the UW BAdger win Sat. night.

FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.

[MediaMole]

I’m going to cheer for real student-athletes, many of whom are in-state. Go Bucky!!!!

[MediaMole]

I’m rooting for a Wisconsin-Michigan State final.

[dfwgator]

Anybody but Kentucky.

[JimSEA]

I’m an Arizona fan but Wisconsin was the better team. No need to trash anyone.

[MediaMole]

I would take Michigan State beating Wisconsin in the final if it meant Kentucky didn’t win.

[rabidralph]

Must be an extremely slow news day. Once again, the media creates a non-issue.

[MMaschin]

Is that a joke? I really can't tell, but here some actual info on the subject of basketball players and graduation rates.

I dont know why tge link didnt work the first time, but here it is again.

Wasn’t a fan it was Dennis Dodd a CBS Sports idiot . Aaron declined an interview as it was the Wisconsin team’s moment to celebrate. The reporter got huffy over Twitter and Rogers put him in his place.

I'm an Arizona fan as well (my son was at the game). You cannot win when your opponent is 10 of 12 on threes in the second half. Hats off to Wisconsin.

BTW, I was at LBCC and LBSU when Olsen was at both (one reason I was a UofA fan)

[henkster]

I would cheer for North Korea against Kentucky. I would cheer for baby-eating lizard aliens against Kentucky.

[Dave W]

No. Michigan State doesn't belong there. Duke will win that game. After all, Izzo is Coach K's assistant coach for the USA Basketball teams.

Do you really want to see a Kentucky-Mich State final...ugh.

[Dave W]

Who cares? We all know they are there to play basketball and join the big league. That secret has been out for decades.

[blondee123]

Go Wisconsin Badgers! I hope the refs don’t do any home cooking so they can get the Blue Bloods in the final, but I would bet CBS wants Kentucky against Duke for more viewers & more $$$$$.

[NKP_Vet]

“I’m rooting for a Wisconsin-Michigan State final”.

Wouldn’t that be great, but the Vegas money is on Kentucky/Duke and refs are gamblers too.
