After a 4-1 start, Milwaukee ran into some problems out West against the LA Clippers last night. Maurice Williams, Michael Redd, and Bobby Simmons were all well below 50% shooting and the team only took seven three-point shots. Los Angeles was on fire, though, led by Sam Cassell’s 23 points and Elton Brand with 20. […]

The Cyclones men’s basketball team opens their regular season this Sunday at Hilton Coliseum against Mountain State following a 1-1 exhibition round. ISU lost their pre-season opener to EA Sports, 64-57, but rebounded to beat Division II Bemidji State, 84-77. Turnovers and fouls have been big problems and shooting from the field has been shaky. […]

The University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team closed out their exhibition round with an easy win over Division III Lawrence, 81-46, and are set to travel to St. Thomas to face Norfolk State in the Paradise Jam Friday night.

What some other bloggers are saying about Green Bay’s victory over the Falcons: Packers Use Early Start To Down Falcons

“Michael Vick sucked his thumb and cried to the media last week that he didn�t want people criticizing his play anymore. The Green Bay Packers refused to lay down and die like a 1-7 team should.” – […]

Had to get up early and check the news. Was I dreaming yesterday, or did the Packers really beat the Falcons 33-25? No, it really did happen. In deference to Michael Vick’s request last week, I won’t say anything negative about his performance. That was a very nice job of fumbling, Mike. OK, I shouldn’t […]

Excuse my French, but man what a game. I hoped, of course, that Green Bay would win, but I never thought the Packers would dominate the Falcons that way. The held Atlanta to 325 yards and just 133 yards rushing, which might not seem like much until you realize that they have been averaging 180 […]

And The Win! Packers win 33-25! Ryan Longwell hit two more field goals to keep the Green & Gold in the lead, the Ahmad Caroll forced a fumble that was recovered by Nick Barnett to the five-yard line, setting up Samkon Gado’s third touchdown of the game. I have to lay down. Longwell Keeping Hope Alive

After three […]

It’s hard to be hopefull when your team is 1-7 and relying on backups and who-dats in key positions, but that’s what we Packers fans do, right? Never give up. So, today’s matchup with the Falcons will be a big challenge, no doubt. Atlanta is playing well and have big playoff aspirations now that the […]

Jack Trice was really rockin’ tonight as ISU beat Colorado 30-16 with some strong D down the stretch. Steve Paris and Brent Curvey both scored defensive touchdowns in the second half to help the Cyclones overcome the Big 12 North Division leaders. Paris recovered a fumble at the 34-yard line and rumbled 66 yards for […]

It was another disappointing afternoon for the UW Badgers, loosing at home 20-10 to Iowa. I couldn’t believe how well they looked in the first quarter, building a 10-0 lead, then it seemed like everything came to a grinding halt for Wisconsin. The Schmuckeyes came back to score 20 unanswered points. Making the matters worse, […]
