April 30, 2006 posted under: Brewers The Milwaukee Brewers yesterday gave the Cubs a real smackdown, winning 16-2 on the road at Wrigley. The win gives the Brewers a perfect 4-0 record in games played on Saturday, during wich they have outscored opponents 40-8. Think maybe Bud Selig would consider adjusting the schedule for his […]
January 2, 2006 posted under: Badgers football, Capital One Bowl Wisconsin sent head coach Barry Alvarez out in style with a 24-10 victory over Auburn in the Capital One Bowl. It really was an outstanding game by the Badgers, who entered the game as double digit underdogs. The defense held the Tigers to 236 yards […]
May 1, 2007 posted under: Keyshawn Johnson, Packers I know there’s a fair number of Packer fans disappointed that Green Bay was unsuccessful in trading Oakland for the services of Randy Moss, but maybe the sun has peek from behind that cloud. The Carolina Panthers released Keyshawn Johnson today after drafting Dwayne Jerrett out of […]
August 21, 2007 posted under: Robert Ferguson, Vikings suck What is up with the Vikings and their continuous need to sign players cut from the Packers roster? The breaking news today is that Robert Ferguson, our regularly injured former #3 receiver, has been picked up by the Purple Pride Pose. So first it was Sharper, […]
November 29, 2005 The Wisconsin men’s basketball team fell to Wake Forest tonight 91-88 despite a valiant run to catch the Demon Deacons in the final minutes. Tucker had 23 points and Butch added 19 and 10 rebounds, but Wake Forest met little resistance on the defensive court. Justin Gray hit a career-high 37 points, […]
January 17, 2006 posted under: Iowa State basketball The Iowa State Cyclones bounced back tonight to end a two-game slide with an 88-75 road victory against the Nebraska Corn Huskers. Stinson scored 27 to lead the team and Blalock added 21 more to get ISU the win. The Clones took control of the game with […]
January 12, 2006 posted under: coaching carousel, Mike McCarthy, Packers I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that Mike McCarthy is going to be the 14th head coach of the Green Bay Packers. I mean, how out of the universe of people available did Ted Thompson decide he was the guy? When […]
July 20, 2006 Here’s the sort of thing that makes Packer Nation stand proud. Yesterday more than 20,000 people gathered in Green Bay for the annual shareholders meeting, filling the stands at Lambeau Field to hear reports on the team’s finances and the state of football operations. No other sports franchise in North America can […]
September 10, 2007 In my haste to post about yesterday’s game, I don’t think I said nearly enough about the awesomeness that was the Green Bay defense. A lot of commentators will ascribe the Eagles loss to J.R. Reed and Greg Lewis, but the Packers deserve a lot of credit for containing what is supposed […]
October 30, 2006 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 […]
August 31, 2007 I love days were I get in three posts, and what better way to end it than with something about the Wisconsin Badgers? UW opens its 2007 campaign tomorrow at Camp Randall against Washington State and I feel pretty confident they’ll get off to a very good start. The Badgers are looking […]
January 15, 2008 Apparently yesterday at a campaign stop in Florida, former NYC mayor and presidential hopeful Rudi Giuliani was asked to sign a Green Bay Packers hat. Being a NY Giants fan, of course, he refused. I guess he doesn’t care if he gets any votes from the Badger state, or maybe he just […]
November 3, 2007 posted under: Iowa State football Somewhat soothing in the wake of Wisconsin’s loss, the alma mater Cyclones got their first Big 12 win of the season after defeating the K-State Wildcats 31-20. I think all their home games should be televised on Versus, that seems to be when Iowa State performs its […]
October 29, 2006 posted under: Cyclones in the NFL, Iowa State football, Seneca Wallace 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 […]
