I just tweeted this, but a blog is necessary too because the number is impressive.

It's been a great few days in area sports.  

The Marquette men opened the 2010-11 hoops season on Friday with a 30 point rout of Prairie View A&M.  The Milwaukee Wave kicked their way to an 11 point victory in their opener.  The Admirals skated to two wins on Friday and Saturday. The Bucks beat Golden State by 7 Saturday night.  And, of course, the Badgers put 83 on Indiana to win by 63 in Madison. 

Combine the wins and it's a 116 margin for the area teams.  Add the Badgers women's soccer victory over UWM and MU's 1-0 soccer victory over Central Michigan and this number grows to 118.  

With Marquette taking on Bucknell today at 1 p.m. at the Bradley Center, something tells me this margin will take another big jump.  The Packers, of course, have a bye today.  

Good work, area sports teams.  Let's keep the wins coming!
