The games will be shown on Thursday and Saturday nights, starting with a Thanksgiving night contest. Four of the games are being pulled […]
October 11, 2007 posted under: Iowa State football This weekend while the Badgers are trying to get back their mojo against Penn State, the alma mater Iowa State will be hosting Texas at Jack Trice Stadium. The lowly Cyclones are 1-5 this year with the single win coming against the Iowa Hawkeyes (cue Nelson: “Ha […]
July 30, 2007 posted under: Packers, Pre-season After two days of training camp in Green Bay everything appears to be going according to plan. At least it is if your plan included quarterback Brett Favre being called away to attend a family funeral, wide receiver Donald Driver being held out of practice due to a […]
May 3, 2008 posted under: Badgers in the NHL, Hockey, Joe Pavelski Great play by Joe Pavelski scoring the winning goal in overtime last night against the Dallas Stars and staving off playoff elimination for his San Jose Sharks. Of course what else would expect from a Wisconsin native who helped lead the Badgers to […]
December 7, 2005 posted under: Javon Walker, Packers Not sure why it took so long, but Javon Walker cut his ties with Drew Rosenhaus yesterday. I’m sure you remember the story, Walker hired the uber-agent back in February to renegotiate his contract with the Packers and later threatened to hold out of training camp if […]
September 29, 2007 posted under: Badgers football I’m sure this victory won’t win them many votes with the pollsters this week, but Wisconsin dug deep and overcame Michigan State today 37-34. Oddly enough, after giving up all those points and more than 560 yards, it was the defense that finally came through for the Badgers […]
January 18, 2008 posted under: Giants, NFC Championship, Packers It’s the NFC Championship. It’s Brett Favre and Lambeau Field. It’s going to be around 0 degrees at game time. It’s going to be the Green Bay Packers advancing to Super Bowl XLII. Okay, you probably saw that prediction coming a mile away, but I will […]
February 26, 2006 posted under: Badgers hockey It was a cruel awakening after endless days of Olympic curling and speed skating to find out that the UW men’s hockey team has continued to struggle through the latter part of their schedule. When I last checked in, the Badgers had won 4-2 in the Frozen Tundra […]
October 4, 2007 The football gods sure cooked up a good one this weekend, with the undefeated Wisconsin Badgers traveling to Champaign to play Illinois and the Chicago Bears coming to Lambeau Field to face the undefeated Green Bay Packers. It’s going to be a real battle royal between the Land of Lincoln and the […]
February 22, 2008 posted under: Blog stuff, Blogs The UW sports blog Beer, Brats & Bucky is changing its name to The Cardinal and White Chronicles, and apparently I had something to do with it. When I started this here blog nearly two and a half years ago I didn’t realize I had cornered the […]
January 1, 2006 posted under: Packers, Post-game, Seahawks I don’t think that I’ve ever felt so depressed after a Packers victory. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad, thankful in fact, that Green Bay overcame the Seahawks 23-14 for their fourth and final victory this season, but there’s a lot of bitter sweetness surrounding this win.

September 15, 2006 posted under: Hawkeyes suck, Iowa State football Get ready Hawks fans, because the Cyclones are coming into your house tomorrow, drinking all of your beer, stealing your women, and generally kicking your ass up and down the football field. Yeah! Another chapter in the ISU – UI rivalry gets written this weekend […]
April 29, 2008 posted under: Kregg Lumpkin, Packers Ted Thompson is not one to shy away from gambling on young players who have bounced back from injuries. Last year’s #1 draft pick Justin Harrell had missed most of his senior year after suffering a ruptured biceps tendon, and Ryan Grant missed his second year in […]
December 22, 2005 posted under: Badgers football, Booker Stanley It looks like UW tailback Booker Stanley won’t be playing in Orlando with the rest of the team. The Badgers #2 running back was arrested the other night for allegedly choking a former girlfriend at his apartment and was immediately suspended from the team. This latest […]
