November 27, 2005 posted under: Badgers basketball Wisconsin advanced to 4-0 yesterday with a 92-54 win over Coastal Carolina. I have no idea who Coastal Carolina is (I can only guess they came from North or South Carolina for a chance to get whupped up on), but a win is a win. Taylor led with […]
November 15, 2007 posted under: Aaron Brooks At the beginning of the season, Ted Thompson decided to keep just two quarterbacks on the roster, backup Aaron Rodgers and starter Brett Favre. Now that it is Week 11, TT decided to get around to filling that hole. The Packers invited six unsigned players to an open […]
February 15, 2008 posted under: Badgers basketball, Brett Favre, Donald Driver, Mike McCarthy, Packers The winter hours creep by so slowly when there’s no football to obsess about. Has it really been a week since the last time I wrote anything on this blog? Not wanting it to look completely dormant I suppose I should […]
December 28, 2005 posted under: Packers, Ted Thompson After running some numbers through one of the University of Wisconsin’s super computers, Rob Demovsky attempts to prove in today’s online edition of the Green Bay Press-Gazette that injuries are not to blame for the Packers 3-12 season. His evidence is that there are not significantly more […]
November 20, 2005 posted under: NFL No Packers game to watch today, whatever will I do with myself? Help out with the laundry? Do some grocery shopping? Cuddle with the Missus on the couch? Heck, no, not with some great action happening around the league today. The spotlight game has to be Colts at Bengals. […]
February 19, 2006 posted under: Iowa State basketball Sometimes I’m glad I’ve been preoccupied with all this Olympics business, like yesterday when I would have otherwise been yelling at the TV during the Iowa State game. Playing #19 Oklahoma on the road, the Cyclones held the lead through most of the second half, but the […]
September 28, 2006 posted under: Badgers football Okay Wisconsin, time to pick yourselves up, dust yourselves off, and get back at it. The loss to Michigan was disappointing, yes, but there is still a lot of season to be played. Indiana is next up on the Big 10 schedule and UW needs a road win […]
March 10, 2008 posted under: Brett Favre At least we know that Brett Favre has something to do in his retirement, namely riding around in his new $9,000 golf cart. The custom-built cart was built by Harris Golf Carts in Peosta, Iowa, and delivered by Scott Harris, who happens to be the cousin of Packers […]
March 2, 2006 posted under: Bucks As with everything else, the Winter Olympics kept me distracted from how the Bucks are doing (well, the All-Star break also helped), but I guess I can’t ignore them any longer now that they’ve lost four of their last six since the break and are now at the .500 […]
August 25, 2008 So DeShawn Wynn goes but Scorpio Babers stays? Football is a strange business. The Packers made their first roster reductions today to get to the 75-man limit before tomorrow’s deadline without too many surprises. Oft-injured running back Wynn, a seventh-round pick in the draft a year ago, was among those getting the […]
March 6, 2007 posted under: Ahman Green, Packers For a lot of football franchises out there, losing a starting running back who has piled up 8,100 yards over seven seasons would bring some kind of wrathful vengeance down on the general manger who let that player go, either from the fans or the local media. […]
January 22, 2008 posted under: Badgers basketball Day two of the championship hangover and the doctor has prescribed focusing on more pleasant topics to fill the void left in the wake of the Packers season. Something the rising stock of the Badgers basketball team. I’ve been so keenly obsessed with the Green Bay Packers the […]
January 28, 2008 posted under: Packers The Press-Gazette’s Rob Demovsky yesterday handed out the annual report card, grading the Green Bay Packers players and coaches for the 2007 season. Let’s just say he’s not a believer in the bell curve, but overall his remarks were pretty fair. Top marks went to Brett Favre, Aaron Kampman […]
October 31, 2006 posted under: Badgers football, ESPN, Monday Night Football 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 […]
