How much does it hurt, folks? How much does it hurt? You all talked trash to me nonstop all season long, and here we are.

We have a week left, the Badgers are ranked, we’re 19-10, we’re on a path to get a great tournament seed and now we’re ranked.

What’s that saying? The man who laughs last laughs the loudest? Yes, that’s the one I was looking for. That seems to apply nicely to this situation.

None of you wanted to listen. You just wanted to come in here and mock me without mercy when the Badgers were struggling and seemingly spiraling downward.

I kept my mouth shut, I just kept getting to work and I waited for the opportunity to strike. Well, it’s March and we’re rolling.

I hope it was worth it for all the haters and critics out there. I hope it was worth it.
