Comparing any sporting event to an American tragedy seems like a bad idea for so many reasons, doesn't it? Well, congressman Marlin Schneider didn't seem to get the memo, when after Wisconsin's opening day loss to Miami to start off the 1989 college football season, he compared the Badgers losing this game to Pearl Harbor. And let's just say that there was considerable outrage over this one

Lesson of the day: Never EVER compare a sports team's loss to a real life tragedy 🚫

@CTubeMan Год назад

This would be the last time an inappropriate military analogy would be made after a Miami game.

@docfrazier99 Год назад

Could you cover the Miami-Notre Dame rivalry in the 1980s, including the Catholics vs. Convicts series?

@ASMRPeople Год назад

It worked out for Wisconsin The next year they were coached by Barry Alvarez. He transformed Wisconsin from big ten door mat into one of the best teams outside the big two.

@UserName-ts3sp Год назад

id say the best outside the big two, penn state’s close too but in the big ten not quite

@JeffCirillo Год назад

So we're pretending zero national championships and zero playoff appearances over the next three decades plus is successful?

@ASMRPeople Год назад

@@JeffCirillo well considering the playoffs are a couple of years old & Wisconsin has not won a national title in 80 years, yes I'd consider that successful.

@kyletucker3811 Год назад

I was literally thinking "This was actually probably more significant considering it was much closer to when Pearl Harbor actually happened." And then you began the 9/11 comp and I knew exactly where you were going. Good comp.

@AdrianKendrick Год назад

Some have said the game is a war and the football field is a battlefield but they never compared it to a awful tragedy.

My great grandfather, who survived the Pearl Harbor attacks, died in the 70s. I can only imagine what he would’ve thought of these comments…

Georgia beating TCU was not a disappointment. Some of us enjoyed it very much and watched from start to finish!

I was at this game. It was wet, and Wisconsin was terrible, but it was fun to watch Miami that day. It was also the last Badger game I went to before the prior to Barry Alvarez taking over.

I constantly admire your ability to keep it clean. Because I know I couldn’t go after this without dropping at least three F bombs.

@marcus813 Год назад

I'm surprised that there wasn't a bigger crowd given that The U was in town and was a national power for the vast majority of the decade. This was ABC's primary game (Texas A&M/Washington ran elsewhere on ABC in the same timeslot for the then-Pac-10's side its cartel with the Big Ten), so rapidly failing Wisconsin was dragged in front of millions. As for Schneider, I don't know what the hell he was thinking about. He sure didn't choose his words wisely and I'm not sure how he was the least bit viable in politics for 22 years after that.

@josephhouk6703 Год назад

Morton already lost the fan based and alumni the previous season.

@@josephhouk6703 That had to be the case because the Canes were usually a big draw back then.

@pronkb000 Год назад

I'm honestly surprised that Gorilla Monsoon, Gordon Solie, and others didn't get more shit even at the time for calling any pro wrestling sneak attack a "Pearl Harbor job." It's not like that was in universal use among wrestling announcers, either.

@americasevilgenius Год назад

My personal favorite was Cowboy Bill Watts, in Mid-South, referring to Skandor Akbar throwing a fireball at Hacksaw Jim Duggan as a "terrorist attack". And not just stopping at that phrase, Watts went on to point out that Akbar was from a part of the world where car bombings and terrorism are a way of life.

@southbeachtalent Год назад

I've been binging on some old WCW Saturday Night stuff (early 90's) and heard Bruno Sammartino reference the Pearl Harbor for a heel sneak attack. If it was in Bruno's verbage, I actually do believe it would be old wrestling lingo

@mgb4692 7 месяцев назад

@@southbeachtalent I think it officially died in 1993 when Yoko (that notorious Japanese sumo) did that to Jim Duggan on Superstars. Vince turned up the ridiculous to 10 and Jerry Lawler completely no-sold it. Even brought Mrs. Hacksaw on the next week, nobody GAFF.

Can we also stop comparing football games to war while we’re at it?

@GameShowMike Год назад

It’s quite ironic that nearly three years earlier at the Fiesta Bowl, there was a moment during the steak fry where one of the Miami players asked a Penn State player if the Japanese sat down for dinner with America before bombing Pearl Harbor before walking out; and that Penn State player retorted: Didn’t the Japanese lose World War II? Suffice to say, Penn State prevailed over Miami 14-10 to win the national championship which capped a perfect season in their football program’s centennial.

@marcus813 Год назад

To top it off, some of the Hurricanes wore fatigues in the Valley of the Sun in the week leading up to that Fiesta Bowl. Alonzo Highsmith in particular regrets that now.

When pressed if Schneider thought comparing the game to a tragedy that cost some 2,469 Americans their lives didn’t help the coach’s chances of staying employed, Schneider responded: “Nah. Now if I had compared it to the death toll of the Civil War, that’s a different story.” Sorry 😅

They were ranked #1 at one time pre-Barry Alvarez. They never achieved that ranking after his hiring as of 2023.

Trying hard not to laugh about that 9/11 statement as I'm currently at the airport.

@Jason_Maier Год назад

Another dumb/tasteless comment was the bumper sticker made prior to the Nebraska/Colorado game in 1989 which stated .... "Sal is dead, Go Big Red". Context was then Colorado QB Sal Aunese had died of inoperable stomach cancer early in the season.

@wiscobattleborn Год назад

Good old Snarlin’ Marlin Schneider. Schneider was quite the character in the Wisconsin Legislature.

@brettpatterson404 Год назад

You should do a story about Nick Saban and saying Japaneses kids are good at sneak attacks. Around 2002/2003 Saban was the quest speaker at International football event in Montreal. Saban was speaking on each country giving complements on each country and said the Japanese of course were good at sneak plays like Pearl Harbor. The team was offended and Saban had to apologized.

@Rossturnerphoto Год назад

I’m genuinely surprised that the legislator who made those comments not only kept his job, but continued to serve another 20+ years after that. Even in 1989, you couldn’t make comments like that and get away with it. As for the game itself, I’m surprised the attendance wasn’t better unless the weather was just that bad. Usually a highly ranked team would draw a bigger crowd for even struggling or poorly attended teams. That just shows how little Wisconsin fans believed in their team in those days I guess.

@Empr4evr Год назад

Comparing this game to the 2017 Orange Bowl is like night and day. Wisconsin Badgers football has come a long way since 1989. Anything less than 9 wins feels like a lost season for the Badgers now.

@rngfootball759 Год назад

Man, the 80s Wisconsin football looked bad. I think the pre Snyder Kstate teams were worse though. Ironically enough both Barry Alvarez and Bill Sndyer are from the Hayden Fry tree.

@nathanjm000 Год назад

A bit insensitive and an extremely stupid rationale but in hindsight he was deadly accurate and four years later they were in the Rose Bowl after hiring Barry Alvarez the year after. Nick Saban did something similar after the ULM loss and won the Natty two years later. Anthony Lynn did the same thing in 2020 and won their last four games.

@nathanstroud2223 Год назад

Comparing your sports team losing in catastrophic fashion to events like Pearl Harbor, 9/11 or the Holocaust honestly sounds like a bit of banter when it's coming from a fan, but people are going to interpret that literally when you say it as a politician. The knife control comment was actually on point if you know anything about the current state of weapons laws outside the US.

@runrafarunthebestintheworld Год назад

Yeah there was recently a knife attack in the UK.

@UserName-ts3sp Год назад

i loved the knife control statement honestly. it makes gun control sound stupid (which it is)

@JeffCirillo Год назад

Jesus, the guy just meant the game was a massacre....figuratively, not literally. I think you're reading way too much into the quotation.
