Hoodie Power…
Who knew all it would take to break a 3-game losing streak was a simple hoodie. While James Jones' hoodie look may have reminded me of a JV football player standing on the sidelines watching the Varsity play on a Friday night (a look I have seen all to often over the...
SI…
As a kid, Wednesday was one of the best days of the week. Wednesday meant that the new Sports Illustrated would be arriving in the mail later that afternoon. Back then, Sports Illustrated had the coolest sports photos (that we usually ripped out of the school...
TNF…
Thursday Night Football...why do I keep watching this crap?!?! (By the way...what happened to that intro?). Seriously...I need a life! Or maybe...I need to find a Thursday night bowling league to distract me from these games (it definitely worked in the past)...words...
Thank You…
I'm often asked, where do you come up with the material for your blog? Most days, it comes to me rather easy...and today, it came to me even easier than most. Today's post is simply...THANK YOU! No rant about the Green Bay Packers struggles, the silliness of the...
We’re still doing that…
In case you haven't noticed, the Milwaukee Brewers have already started releasing their 2016 All-Fan Giveaway schedule...and they're using this whole week to do it¡ Isn't the suspense just killing you...I can hardly wait to see what new and innovative ideas they have...
Rutgers and Jerrysota…
Rutgers SUCKS!!! I think we all knew that, but after the Scarlet Knights pitiful performance against the Badgers yesterday, my friends and I are boycotting ALL future Wisconsin vs Rutgers football matchups. If the Scarlet Knights are on the Badgers home slate...we...
Who’s gonna win it…
The Bucks! The Bucks! I am SO excited for the 2015-16 Milwaukee Bucks basketball season. Although I am always excited about Bucks basketball, this is probably the most excitement I have had since that 2000-01 season (and we all know that the Eastern Conference Finals...
Bart…
Houston...HELLO! Well, do we have a quarterback controversy in Madtown brewing? Bart Houston, who filled in for a concussed Joel Stave, led the Badgers to a 24-13 victory over Illinois yesterday by completing 22 of 33 passes for 232 yards and 2 touchdowns...but did...
J.J. WATT…
Say it with me, in your best Mike Mahnke voice...J.J. WATT!!! It rolls off the tongue SO nicely...very similar to RON DAYNE!!! (skip to the 1:40 mark). In case you missed it last night, ESPN ran the E:60 piece Never Given about J.J. Watt. E:60 has turned into one of...
These guys are good…
If you saw the commercials put together by the PGA Tour a couple of years back, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. Yesterday, Clara and I went to the Fry's.com Open at Silverado CC (North Course) in Napa to be reminded (again) just how good these guys are....
Missing education…
After 13+ plus years of teaching, I came across two situations today that I never learned about back at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. One would think, having spent SIX YEARS of my life at UW-0, I would have learned everything there is to know about teaching....
#unbielemable…
It's no secret...I do not like Bert...I mean, Bret Bielema! My level of hate for this man is probably higher than I've ever had for one human being. So...just when you think you've seen it all from #unbielemable, he outdoes himself AGAIN! I'm not sure how ANYONE could...
Aqua Stave…
It's just too easy to pick (ha...like that) on Joel Stave. It is literally amazing that he is a Division I quarterback (would he really start at UW-Whitewater?)...and how bad are the other quarterbacks on Wisconsin's roster, if Stave is still the starter (that fact...
Field of dreams…
If you remember this post, you will remember my love for grass. In California, there is absolutely no such grass like that...unless you are at a very high end golf course or a professional sports organization's stadium...and even they - Levi's Stadium in particular...
Guys Weekend 12…
Was a major SUCCESS (dare I say it was the best ever, but then again...I'm biased)! Thank you to all my friends and family for helping me pull off the greatest Wisconsin football weekend (plus golf!). This was the first time in my life that I was able to attend a...
S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y…
NIGHT! Camp Randall. Guys Weekend 12. The first night game since Utah State in 2012 (#unbielemable). I wish there was more on the line (really, Hawaii?)...like this memorable game versus #1 Ohio State in 2010...possibly the earliest we have ever been into a Badger...
Pwned…
Over the last couple of days, I have taken a great liking to the following burns...let's just say, some of the people involved...truly had it coming (you've been pwned)! 1. Texas Tech's Kliff Kingsbury telling Bret Bielema what he really thought about the Arkansas...
Traffic…
It should be a four-letter word in the state of California (or maybe it is). On some days, I feel like Michael Douglas in the movie Falling Down. I just don't get it...there are FOUR to FIVE lanes on most freeways (in each direction), and yet people still can't seem...
When you say Wisconsin…
You've said it all! I couldn't agree with that statement more. Having now lived in California for the last couple of months, you realize what a truly special place Wisconsin really is (especially on a perfect Fall weekend). Clara and I just got back to California...
The Valley…
Johnny Drama's policy on going to The Valley (much less living there) is spot on! We live in the Tri Valley area and here is what we are currently experiencing temperature-wise (it's September 9th, right?). This is day two of this triple-digit heat (oh, but it's a dry...
