Lovies at Bucky

I'll be at Camp Randall Section T.  I'm hoping it'll be a nice autumn day for Homecoming and a Badger victory.  Agreed.  They should put on a whoopin'....and hopefully, play a lot of guys to get experience, too. 

I'm going to the Thursday night Mendota Club dinner to hear Chryst talk....and then to the BB game Friday night. 

What a weekend in Madtown!

Hardy Nickerson played for the Buc and the Packers IIRC.

Hardy suited up for the Packers. The playing part is questionable.

Wisconsin is favored by 26.5.

Yeah I won't be betting it.  Badgers by about 20.

The Badgers offense might not score 26 points...

Ahhh yes now I remember and thanks I could place the name but too lazy to look it up. 

Just don't blow these couple of games Bucky!  I have my tickets and hotel to the Big Ten title game.  I can't take a repeat of last year being around Iowa fans for 2 days.

Just got back from the Mendota Club gathering with Coach Chryst.   It was at Rex's in Waunakee.   Thanksgiving meal  banquet style...but delicious....with a Happy Cow pint for an appetizer.

OK...well, Coach Chryst will never be confused with the great orators of our time....but....he's sincere, he has a clear message for player's and fans.....and he still captures the audience with his philosophy of teaching kids how to become men.  

Genuine good guy.   Go Bucky.

Chryst and Gund are the ideal guys for their jobs. They are likely to be successful long-term and run clean programs. Just as important, neither one views Wisconsin as a stepping stone to somewhere else. Since both of them are Wisconsin natives who grew up rooting for the Badgers, this is probably their dream job in both cases.

I think the game this weekend will be uncomfortably close until about the third quarter. If I'm Illinois I put about 8 guys in the box and make the QB beat me. This may keep it to a 10-3 type game at the half. I would expect the Badgers to pull away slowly in the second half and win by something like 27-10. If the Badgers get good QB play, I could see them winning by 30+, but I'm not confident that's going to happen.

Who makes Happy Cow?  

New Glarus Brewery.

New Glarus makes "Spotted Cow"... is there a "Happy Cow" too? 

Spotted Cow is one of my all-time faves! 

The "Happy Cow". First hook up freshman year.

Crap.  I have had both before. 

Maybe one too many?  you guys might be right....it might've been the Spotted Cow....either way, good liquid lunch.

We're eskimo brothers

How do you Bulls know if the Cow is happy?

HAppy Cows are supposed to be In California.  You know where 10,000 cows in one place stand on concrete for their entire lives.  

Spotted Cow comes from New Glarus where cows get to graze on real grass and get to spend their days on dirt or lying in a nice bedded stall. 

I wonder which cows are really happy?   I know I'm a happy beer drinker when I have a Spotted Cow. 

Yep, those cows in Coalinga sure do look happy.  They smell happy too.

Breakout game for the offense.

Trap game?

Blacked out here, any streaming options?

Blackout has been lifted....

Breakout on offense has been delayed

No apparent reason to fear Jeff George based on that first series.

Some nice couple of runs there. Soon it will be 7

Nice drive

Biegel a Sunday guy?

That looked like a weak penalty call.

Nice

Just like his Daddy!

Dixon has turned into a playmaker.

He's no Hawk

I hate to say it this early but.....dagger

Breakout is underway.

Nice start 

Great pick and you always have to love it when you see the RB slowing down as he approaches the EZ because there's no D anywhere near.

14-0 Bucky! 

Jeff George, Hardy Nickerson.  It's flashback Saturday.

I'd like to rescind my prediction that the Badgers would start slow in the first half. This Illinois defense is completely outgunned. If they want, the Badgers could put about 60 points on the board today.
