August 18, 2007 posted under: Badgers football, polls A couple weeks ago the first pre-season coaches poll from ESPN/USA TODAY ranked the Wisconsin football team #7 in the country, and today the AP writers gave a little more love to the Badgers with another top 10 ranking. The first AP poll, which has USC #1 […]
December 16, 2005 We’re celebrating a big milestone here at Brats & Beer: this is the 100th post. Oh, we’ve come a long way since that very first post back in November. We were young and naive, full of spirit and energy. We still thought the Packers had a chance to turn it around and […]
November 12, 2006 posted under: Big 12 football (Warning: The following contains mean-spirited and inappropriate remarks from a fan of a suck-ass football team who has no business trying to take the piss out of much better teams. Reader discretion is advised.) My Cyclones may have suffered yet another disastrous, disappointing, and embarassing loss yesterday […]
September 13, 2006 posted under: Packers, Ted Thompson Okay, maybe it’s too early for this sort of cynicism, we are only one game into the season after all, but isn’t Ted Thompson dancing around awfully fast for our amusement instead of trying to fix the leak in our little boat? One minute he’s signing Slushy […]
January 4, 2006 I knew that when the news of Mike Sherman’s firing came it would cause a lot of hand wringing and teeth gnashing, but I was a little surprised by some of the reactions from Packer Nation. In the small sample of comments sent in to the Press-Gazette, several people let loose with […]
May 9, 2008 posted under: Koren Robinson, Packers The writing was on the wall when Ted Thompson selected Jordy Nelson first in the draft that either Koren Robinson or Ruvell Martin would probably be on the short list to be cut from the Packers roster. Today that list got shorter: Robinson has been released. Robinson […]
April 27, 2008 posted under: Aaron Rodgers, Brian Brohm, Matt Flynn, NFL Draft, Packers At the start of the 2008 NFL Draft, it was still up in the air as to whether Ted Thomspon would take even one QB, but here it is at the end of the second day and the Packers have two […]
June 29, 2006 posted under: Iowa State basketball, Will Blalock Iowa State’s own Will Blalock was the final player to be picked in the NBA Draft last night, being selected by the Detroit Pistons. The Boston native becomes the 31st Cyclone basketball player to be drafted by a pro team and the first since Jackson […]
January 9, 2007 posted under: Buckeyes, polls, Wolverines Way to go, Ohio State. So, should we have that debate again about why it should have been Michigan vs. Buckeyes for the mythical national championship? Looks like they should have been playing for bragging rights in the Choke Bowl. I not really sure what to make […]
February 20, 2008 posted under: Bubba Franks, Corey Williams, Packers Looks like Cheesehead Aaron will not get his wish to be done with all the Corey Williams talk, because the Packers announced late today that they have designated him as the franchise player rather than let him walk in free agency. This is a bit […]
December 2, 2006 posted under: BCS, NCAA football, polls Do you suppose Will Ferrell crapped his pants when Eric McNeal intercepted John David “Big” Booty’s pass, sealing UCLA’s 13-9 upset win over USC today? If anyone has video of that, please upload it to YouTube immediately. So now that the Trojans have been eliminated from […]
November 24, 2005 posted under: Thanksgiving Just a quick note to say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I just love this holiday, an all day food and football feast. Second only to Christmas in my book. Despite everything, I am still thankful for the Green Bay Packers and I know they will rebound Sunday against Philly. […]
November 3, 2006 The Wisconsin men’s basketball squad opens their 2006-07 campaign with a pre-season game against the Blue Devils of UW-Stout tonight. I am very impressed that the pre-season coaches poll has the Badgers ranked No. 9, while CBS Sportsline ranks them fourth behind Florida, Kansas, and North Carolina. Of course that sets the […]
August 25, 2007 posted under: Aaron Rodgers, Packers, Pre-season The Packers cut almost a dozen players from the roster yesterday in advance of Tuesday’s deadline, including backup quarterback Ingle Martin. The second-year pro and fifth-round draft pick enjoyed cult popularity status in Packers Nation because of his dual threat capability at QB and as a […]
