University of Wisconsin men’s basketball assistant Howard Moore couldn’t help but notice the banners hanging from the rafters in Mackey Arena when the Badgers played in West Lafayette, Ind. last Saturday.
They added new meaning to the term “Boiler-Up” since they not only recognized Purdue’s team accomplishments — such as NCAA and Big Ten titles and Final Four appearances — but acknowledged individual success.
….So it goes. Except at the Kohl Center. And Moore wonders why — why aren’t there banners honoring the UW’s more celebrated athletes in men’s and women’s basketball and hockey? This question has come up before. And a determined Moore plans on bringing it up again with the hope that it will lead to some meaningful dialogue.
