That's a few weeks old.

Yes, a few weeks old and FAR from any sort of huge signing and or announcement.  Another "hype" post by Bono.

He literally does it for every single commitment. Pretty much every sport for UW goes something similar.

Grow up.

I just checked X.com and it appears Bono is the only UW coach that says "great day to be a Badger" over and over.  Fickel doesn't say it-he says "Committed!"  Huge difference.  Given how few elite prospects Bono has landed, especially in Wisconsin, when UW is the only D1 School in the state, I find it a bit distasteful for Bono to hype up his recruiting.  I really can't find fault with someone who chooses to call Bono a Hypster, Used-Car Salesman or Blowhard.

How many other D1 football teams are in WI?

The phrase "Cowboy Incoming" isn't hyping to me and Oklahoma State has won more titles than any program in the country.  Neither is Fickel's phrase "Committed."  While Northern Iowa's recruit announcement slogans are somewhat like Bono's, the additional verbiage "when you add to the family" makes it a bit milder.  Plus Doug Schwab seems more of a plaintalking, respected coach who has to compete for recruits in state with both Iowa and Iowa State and Schwab has done ok recruiting (Keckeisen alone is impressive).  I wish Bono would tone down the rhetoric.

What could he say that is acceptable to you?

I prefer he say what the top schools say like Penn State or Iowa, which is pretty much nothing.  No need to hype it up.  But if he wants to say "Welcome aboard", "Committed" or "Badger Incoming", I would be fine with that.  I just get tired of his overuse of "great" ad nauseum, which renders the term meaningless when Bono says it.

Not liking the "level of energy" of the phrase "It's a great day to be a Badger" has is a bit nitpicky, quite honestly. It is a marketing catch-phrase and if the team improves its recruiting and team-finish results then the phrase will be welcomed into the home of all. Bono (and his marketing team) has a job to do - let's let them do it. Focus on tangible issues if you want to gripe about the state of the program - there's fertile, and more objective, ground there.
