September 29, 2006 The next opponent on Iowa State’s football schedule is the Panthers of the University of Northern Iowa. Some of you might not know much about UNI, so today I thought I’d give a brief tutorial on this fine and august institution. The school was founded as the Iowa State Normal School in […]
September 3, 2006 posted under: Badgers football The UW Badgers opened their 2006 campaign with a big win for first year head coach Bret Beilema, rolling past Bowling Green 35-14 last night. Some questions surrounding this team were answered in the debut win and others were left to be pondered, but overall it was a […]
January 7, 2006 posted under: Bucks After a fine showing the other night in Chicago, the Milwaukee Bucks fell to the Bulls at home last night 91-105. The game was close through three quarters, but Chicago managed to pull ahead for good with an 11-2 run midway through the final period. Michael Redd scored 25 […]

The Elm Grove, WI, native finished with a time of 4:10.44, which was good enough to put her in second place after 11 pairs. Unfortunately, such […]
October 21, 2006 posted under: Dolphins, Packers, Pre-game 1. The Dolphins offensive line sucks worse than Green Bay’s – If you give Joey Harrington all the time in the world he can tear up a secondary. He messed up a couple Thanksgivings for us Packer fans when he was in Detroit doing just that. But […]
March 27, 2007 posted under: Packers, Thanksgiving It seems rather odd to be looking ahead to Thanksgiving when Memorial Day is still a couple months away, but that’s how it goes for the football fan in the off season. Heck, the college draft is still a month off, but have I already cleared that day […]
July 26, 2007 Packers training camp finally gets underway this Saturday, which means the start of the NFL regular season is just a little more than a month away: Thank you, sweet baby Jebus. Having rounded the final turn and headed down the stretch, there’s been a lot going on in Green Bay this week, […]
November 7, 2005 Bad news follows bad, doesn’t it? While the Packers were suffering at the hands of the Steelers, down in Baton Rouge the friggin’ Bears managed to pull out a 20-17 win over the Saints with a last second field goal. Worse still, now that they’re 5-3 some are considering Chicago a “serious” […]
March 6, 2008 posted under: Brett Favre, retirement Unless he has a big change of heart before 11 o’clock today, Brett Favre will make his retirement officially official at a press conference at Lambeau Field.

December 3, 2005 posted under: BCS, NCAA football Holy crap, I hope Joel Klatt and the rest of the Colorado Buffaloes got the number of that truck. 70-3? That’s just out and out ridiculous. The same goes for USC beating UCLA 66-19. Well, it’ll either be a pretty exciting game in Pasadena or one of […]
October 3, 2006 posted under: Ahmad Carroll, Packers After the dust settled following last night’s 31-9 drubbing in Philadelphia, there was one clear chorus that arose from Packer Nation on message boards and blogs, in newspaper columns, and on sports call in shows: Ahmad Carroll must go. Well, there he goes. The Packers released the […]
January 17, 2008 posted under: NFC Championship, Packer fans, Packers, weather I’m no poster boy for PC behavior when it comes to the Green Bay Packers — you do not want to see me watching a game — but the guy in Pardeeville who strapped his kid down with packing tape because he refused to […]
February 28, 2008 The officials at the Official Packers web site sent a jolt of panic through Packer Nation today when a link went live showing a mock-up page reporting “Favre to retire.” The news went blasting around the Interwebs and according to one commenter on the Journal Sentinel blog, it was even reported on […]
November 12, 2006 posted under: Packers, Pre-game, Vikings We’re just an hour away from kickoff at the Humpty Dome and I have yet to write one disparaging word about the Vikings. Thankfully, the Packer Palace has more than enough trash talk to make up for my lack of attentiveness. But here, belatedly, are the five […]
