January 10, 2006 posted under: Badgers football, Brian Calhoun Badgers running back Brian Calhoun has decided to throw his hat into the the ring for the 2006 NFL Draft. The Journal Sentinel reports that a press conference is set for Thursday when he’ll formally announce, but he has apparently informed new UW head coach Bret […]
December 11, 2006 ‘Tis the season to be jolly, finally, and the Packers gave us all something to be cheerful about yesterday with a 30-19 win over the 49ers. It was hardly the playoff season I had asked for, but I guess there’s only so much the elves can do from the North Pole. There […]
August 29, 2007 posted under: Vikings suck And apparently this year’s Vikings squad isn’t. According to a story in today’s Press-Gazette, the Lavender and Lace has thousands of unsold tickets and are facing the possibility of a TV blackout for the first time in a decade. The team has filled just 56,000 seats for the […]
December 24, 2005 posted under: Iowa State basketball ISU fans can walk tall today now that their Cyclones are Rainbow Classic champions. Okay, maybe it’s not that big of a deal, but it’s something. Iowa State defeated Colorado State 87-80 in the tourney final last night (or very early this morning, depending on how you […]
March 28, 2008 First off let me say congratulations to Davidson for winning their NCAA tournament game tonight, but no way are they a better team than the Wisconsin Badgers. I mean, Davidson plays in some kind of makeshift JV league, they’re all 5′9″ and 110 lbs., they all have mommies and daddies who tell […]
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. With the buildup and anticipation of seeing 10-1 Green Bay facing its biggest game of the season, this is certainly […]
November 8, 2005 It was a pretty disappointing weekend, but the time for mourning is over. There’s a new slate of opponents waiting in the wings and this week’s action looks pretty exciting. Green Bay travels to Atlanta this Sunday to take on the 6-2 Falcons. You might be thinking, “How in the world can […]
October 30, 2007 posted under: DeShawn Wynn, Koren Robinson, Packers So ends the short, promises-unfulfilled rookie year of DeShawn Wynn. The former Gator and seventh-round draft pick was placed on injured reserve today for a shoulder injury suffered last night in Denver. Wynn took himself out of the game after just one carry and the […]
October 23, 2007 posted under: Badgers basketball, Bo Ryan, Soulja Boy Wisconsin men’s basketball coach Bo Ryan is nuts. First there was the hambone last year, now he’s bustin’ moves to “Soulja Boy.” I’m just glad he coaches for the Badgers and not against them. (Thanks to the JS Badger Blog for spotting this video.) […]
January 1, 2006 posted under: Mike Tice, Vikings suck The Minnesota Vikings bid an abrupt adios to Mike Tice today, firing the head coach shortly after the team defeated the Bears 34-10. While the timing of the announcement is a little questionable, I doubt the news comes as a shock to anyone. Tice led the […]
December 21, 2005 posted under: NFL Draft, Packers, Ted Thompson I was looking at the NFL standings and strength of schedule yesterday, and to my untrained mind it looks like Green Bay is still in the running for the top draft pick. Sure, it would take the Texans and the 49ers to both win this […]
October 6, 2006 Well here it is Friday and it looks like Kurt Schottenheimer still has a job in Green Bay. This disappoints me greatly, but it does not surprise me much. It would be a pretty big jolt to the franchise to lose not just a former first round draft pick but also a […]
March 5, 2007 posted under: Ahman Green, Packers This is the sort of news that makes even your laziest occasional blogger finally sit down at his computer and post something. Ahman Green will no longer be wearing Green & Gold next season, because he signed with the Houston Texans yesterday. In a way I’m at […]
April 9, 2008 The NFL Draft can’t come soon enough, if for no other reason than to give the nation’s sports scribes something other than Brett Favre to write about. It would help too if he would stop granting interviews. What’s really funny about #4 is that at his core he has the ability to […]
