December 22, 2005 posted under: EV1.net Houston Bowl, Iowa State football More than 8,000 tickets have been sold for the Cyclones as the team and its fans get ready to travel to Texas for the EV1.net Houston Bowl. The total includes more than 1,000 student tickets so there should be plenty of Cardinal & Gold […]
September 28, 2006 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 to get back to […]
November 5, 2006 posted under: Badger bars, Billy’s, Blogs, Packer bars, TheWisconsinSportsBar GBFan at The Wisconsin Sports Bar posted yesterday a request for help trying to locate Packer bars and Badger bars outside the state of Wisconsin. There are a lot of us ex-pat Midwesterners living in far flung corners of the country where the […]
March 21, 2008 posted under: Badgers basketball, NCAA tournament A nice solid game last night by the UW men’s basketball team in their opening game of the NCAA tournament. They were a little sloppy with 17 turnovers, but overall I thought the Badgers dealt with Cal Fullerton’s speed pretty well. One thing I couldn’t stand, […]
April 10, 2007 posted under: Hockey, NCAA Frozen Four, NHL Sweet Geebus do I miss football. Can’t we get the season started a little early this year? I’m so incredibly bored I might have to start watching NFL Europa. (And when did it become NFL “Europa” anyway? They should call it NFL Germany & The […]
November 30, 2007 posted under: Cowboys, Packers In the words of coach Mike McCarthy, “We did not play our best football.” Congratulations to the Dallas Cowboys. You defeated Aaron Rodgers to advance to 11-1 on the season, so you obviously fielded the better team and ol’ Fatty there was the superior coach. I’m sure you’ll […]
October 5, 2006 posted under: Badgers football Turning to happier thoughts than the woes of the Packers, the Badgers return to Madison this Saturday to host the Northwestern Wildcats. Wisconsin is 4-1 overall and 1-1 in the Big 10 and tied with Iowa so this weekend’s matchup is big in terms of keeping pace with […]
October 9, 2006 The video screen at Lambeau Field flashed a shot of Mike McCarthy just after Brett Favre coughed up the ball in the red zone to end the 23-20 loss to the Rams, and according to the Press-Gazette’s Game Day Blog the Packers head coach appeared to say, “You have got to be […]
August 17, 2006 The first round of pre-season games last weekend made the perfect stage for a couple rookies from Iowa State and Wisconsin to make their professional football debut. Linebacker Tim Dobbins had a great first outing (unfortunately) for the Chargers against the Packers Saturday night. The fifth-round pick out of ISU recorded four […]
May 9, 2008 posted under: Beer, Berghoff, Minhas Craft Brewery Maybe it’s just me but hasn’t this seemed like the longest week ever? (Obviously it’s not because I have been so hard at work posting here on this blog.) Whatever your week’s work situation, we all deserve to celebrate this afternoon with a tall icy […]

August 6, 2007 Packers general manager Ted Thompson decided to play Santa Claus a little early this year by signing Donald Driver to a new contract extension. According to the Journal Sentinel, the new deal adds about $11 million to Driver’s existing contract, most of which will come in the extra year added to the […]
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 […]
February 29, 2008 Let me preface this post by saying that last night’s game was just the second Wisconsin basketball game that I have watched in full this season (thank you very little, Big Ten Network), so I won’t pretend to have any deep insight into the inner workings of this year’s squad. I will […]
