October 26, 2007 posted under: Badgers football Wow, with two losses a lot of wind has been taken out of the sails of this Badger football season. Can they finish with eight wins and get to some kind of decent bowl game, or will they be relegated to the Regional Flora or Lawn Implement Bowl? […]
September 21, 2006 posted under: Hawkeyes suck, John Kerry Found this picture from The Wizard of Odds: Seems John Kerry was at the Iowa State – Iowa game canvassing for the party and found himself in the middle of a dorkfest.

November 26, 2005 Never thought I’d find myself rooting on the Cornhuskers, but there I was cheering every QB sack and Zac Taylor pass. And, man, there were a lot of both. I never thought Nebraska would embarrass Colorado quite like that. It was total domination. OK, ‘Clones, the door is now open, all you […]
March 17, 2008 posted under: St. Patrick’s Day Happy St. Patrick’s Day, one of my personal favorite holidays.

April 29, 2008 posted under: Beer, City Brewery The awesomeness that is beer doesn’t need to be debated, but I happened to come across an article about how City Brewery in La Crosse is helping fight both the energy crisis and global warming. The former G. Heileman Brewery is supplying methane to the Gundersen Lutheran […]
November 29, 2007 posted under: Cowboys, Packers, Pre-game Anybody else wake up today feeling like it’s Christmas? Thank goodness I took the week off from work because I would be worthless at the office today.

April 11, 2007 posted under: Nick Barnett, Packers Some good news out of Packerland as Nick Barnett gets his contract extension. Green Bay signed the veteran MLB to a five-year extension yesterday reportedly worth $35 million, including about $11 million in guaranteed money.
