Badgers

Badger Football

Took Alex to his first college football game yesterday, Badgers vs Gophers at the Metrodome. Gophers won on a last second field goal, but Alex had a ball. Pretty good seats, corner end zone, upper deck, so we had a nice clear view of the field.

I had as much fun watching Alex and his reactions to the game as I did watching the game. Great football game (even if the wrong team won) – Badgers stormed back in the second half, Alvarez had a gutsy time out call on the Gophers last drive, but it wasn’t meant to be.

Didn’t even realize until today when I was reading the sports page that the Gopher’s starting QB got hurt.

Great time, will have to do that again with Alex. :D

One down, one to go

Caught the Badgers on Yahoo Radio this weekend. Good win, but they should have been able to stop Penn State better.

On to Ohio State this weekend at Camp Randall. I’ll be there with bells on!

The Packer game was absolutely beautful yesterday. Had a chance to to walk around Lambeau, saw the Atrium, which is gorgeous. The weather was awesome – 55 degrees, sunny, not a cloud in sight. And the Pack dominated Coach Holmgren’s Seahawks. Too bad 4 of the 5 touchdowns were on the far side of the field from me. :)

So one undefeated team down, and one to go… the Chiefs. Dante Hall has to be my pick for MVP so far this season. Let’s hope the Chiefs are looking past the Pack. I’ll be there again for another full football weekend! Go Pack!

Green = Good

Finally the jinx is broken with the Pack and Badgers winning in the same weekend (only took them a month!)

Ahman green dominated Chicago as the Green & Gold spoiled the new grand opening of Soldier Field.

Now let’s see if the Pack can keep it up against the Seahawks and Chiefs over the next 2 weeks – and I’ll be there to cheer them on!

Big Dance

This weekend’s basketball tournament better go better than last weekend.

On Wisconsin!

And the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee keeps up the tradition this year of winning their conference. That makes 3: Marquette winning Conference-USA, UW winning the Big 10, and UWM winning the Horizon. And Bo wins Coach of the Year again in the Big 10!

And this weekend I can just sit on my butt and watch the Big 10 and Conf-USA tournaments. What a way to spend the last weekend before the big tourney!

We need some stinkin' Badgers!

Badgers win Big Ten Title!

For the 2nd year in a row, the Wisconsin Badgers have won the Big 10 Men’s Basketball title. The big difference is this year they won it outright (as opposed to the 4 way tie last year).

Unfortunately the game was only available on the New England Sports Network so I was unavailable to watch it. (And what’s up with that? Why not Fox Sports, my regional sports network?) Congrats to all the players and Bo Ryan who becomes only the 3rd coach in Big Ten history to win a title in his first 2 seasons.

Now let’s win the Big 10 Tourney and on to the NCAA tourney!
