Oh, agreed. There was certainly value to finding a venue that would not mess up the girls' season schedule, and wouldn't have them not knowing until the UW hockey and basketball seasons were almost over whether there was room for them to play on campus or not. As a bonus, parking was not a problem at the Alliant Center (except for interested local onlookers who could walk to the Kohl Center for free but had to pay to park at the Alliant...but I know I'm in the minority on that issue). I wasn't looking to imply that it was intended as a slap, but in the end the girls were playing in a second rate facility. The Alliant folks did their best to make it hospitable, but the first time I gave the facility a chance for girls' basketball, the phrase "silk purse out of a sow's ear" kept coming to my mind. Anyway, after Saturday's sectional finals the brewerfan.net alma mater challenge will be over, and either my school (Monroe) or Brian the Automator's (Union Grove) will be in the girls' D-2 semifinal. Go Cheese!
