  • Thoughts On Wisconsin Badgers Football

    Saturday’s game was a classic Wisconsin/Iowa game right down to the Badgers losing. I find myself still a bit detached this year since the firing of Paul Chryst last October, so the losses aren’t hitting as hard for me than usual. But the losses make the wins all the more wonderful. Saturday was not a…

The Badgers didn’t do enough to earn a win in Pullman Saturday night. Wisconsin had the opportunity so that’s disappointing. UW was sloppy in the first half &…

    The subject of Fantasy Football came up in a discussion with a coworker the other day & I immediately got this sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. Call it the ‘Sunday Scaries’ or whatever, but just the thought of having to go back in the lab late this summer & do the necessary…
