Brats & Beer

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 them they’re special. Its [...]

When most people think of Green Bay I’m sure that beer, cheese, paper mills, and the Packers all come to mind well before Web 2.0 technologies; however, the guys at Cheesehead TV are giving Packer Nation the social media Full Monty with a new feature on their web site.
Out of their secret lab comes a [...]

Quinn Gray signed with the Houston Texans yesterday, which leaves Gus Frerotte as the only free agent quarterback left on the market who has visited the Green Bay Packers. I’ll admit it, I am officially scared right now.
Frerotte has also visited with the Minnesota Vikings, though, so let me make an impassioned plea to Zygmunt [...]

Actually it would not be sweet at all to have to be sixteen and go through high school all over again. If my teenage years played out like John Hughes’ Sixteen Candles, I can’t say that I would have been the nerdy Bryce played by John Cusack or even his buddy Cliff. I would have [...]

Brendan from the food blog endless simmer dropped off a note here the other day about a post they did on the best eats for drunk college students at the 64 NCAA tournament schools. UW managed to come in 10th in their rankings with a Mac ‘n Cheese pizza from Ian’s Pizza in Madison.
Now [...]

I’m a little bit late with this, but Mike Cade has an excellent Brett Favre post at Transmissions from Grudge Harbor. It’s worth the read if for no other reason than it has the best title ever:
Hell Bent 4 Leather
Big props, mixed with feelings of envy.

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, though, were the announcers Kevin Harlan and Dan Bonner. Do [...]

The long wait is over for the Green Bay Packers to make a move in free agency: Brandon Chillar has signed with the team. Ted Thompson signed the former Rams linebacker to a two-year deal worth somewhere north of $5 million.
It seems like forever ago that Chillar’s name first came up as a free agent [...]

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, one of my personal favorite holidays. What better way to spend a day than celebrating Irish beer, Irish Whiskey, and Irish music?
As much as I enjoy wearin’ the green and all, it is a bothersome and annoying all the green beer silliness that goes on. Do you really think the Irish [...]

Cheers to the UW Badgers basketball team for an impressive win over Illinois to add the Big Ten tournament championship to their awards and honors this season. Jeers to the NCAA selection committee for seeding Wisconsin third in the Midwest.
Actually I’m not all that surprised at the bracket selection, but seriously you’d think winning the [...]
