Hi, Michael Bidwill here. You know me and the old man were talking, and we’re not real happy about the way this season is going. I mean, we sold out our season tickets for the first time in like a hundred years at our brand new stadium, we even got some fool correspondence school paying […]

Did anyone else notice ESPN’s slight of hand last night during the Monday Night Football game?
While spotlighting Patriots rookie running back Laurence Maroney, they ran video of the former University of Minnesota star from the Wisconsin game last year, and Mike Tirico made some snide remark about how Maroney ran all over the Badgers to […]

Green Bay is still basking in the glow of Sunday’s win over the Arizona Cardinals, but that old injury bugaboo is threatening to undo part of the Packers success the past two weeks.
Backup Vernand Morency, who gained 101 yards on Sunday, hurt his lower back during the game and the team says he’ll likely have […]

Obviously there’s no love lost around these parts for any member of the Chicago Bears, least of all Brian Urlacher. On the other hand, I would never wish this kind of psycho dilemma on anybody. (Thanks to RebuildingYear.com for the link.)
The pro bowl linebacker was recently involved in a paternity suit with a young woman […]

It still sort of boggles my mind sometimes that out of the handful of Iowa State alumni playing in the NFL, two of them are quarterbacks. Well, yesterday was a banner day for the Cyclone QB factory, because both former ISU signal callers were called into regular season action.
Seneca Wallace, of course, was pressed into […]

Two in a row. Say it with me, two in a row.
Green Bay defeated the Arizona Cardinals today 31-14, giving the Packers back to back wins for the first time since the end of the 2004 season. Not to mention the fact that the Green & Gold is now 3-4 on the season and just […]

There’s a part of me that’s obviously happy for Seneca Wallace getting his big chance in the National Football League as the starting quarterback for the Seahawks; he was a great player for Iowa State and he finally gets a chance to put on a show for the NFL crowd. However, I’m also very concerned […]

Wisconsin managed to make its game today against the Illini a lot more exciting than it probably should have been. But Bielema’s Badgers overcame two first-half turnovers and an 18-point deficit to beat Illinois 30-24.
I hate it sometimes when I’m right, but the UW football team nearly got taken down by some of the mistakes […]

I’ve really been putting off writing anything about the ISU Cyclones because it just makes me damn depressed, but then I suppose that’s what this here bloggy thing is for. I just can’t believe how far this team has fallen and it doesn’t look like they are going to get back up.
I say all this […]

Let me say first congratulations to Matt Leinart and Brynn Cameron on the birth of their new son. It’s good to see the former USC star finally settling down and with someone not named Paris. I’m sure Packer fans everywhere wish him and his new family well.
Of course, no one will be wishing Leinart well […]
