California Pictures

Before writing a full post, I have decided to share a link to the PicasaWeb site that I am uploading pictures to during the trip.

On Wisconsin!

Badgers vs. Northwestern

Badgers crushed Northwestern to likely clinch a Rose Bowl birth!

Our family vacation to L.A. (Disneyland and Rose Parade) for New Years will hopefully add a Rose Bowl game to the agenda.

Onto the many pictures.

Bagpipes at the Annex? Sure why not.

Tolzen coming out for Senior Day.


Badgers rushing for one of their 10 touchdowns on the day.


Half-time score.


It was getting cold during half-time.


Band spelling out "On Wis" at half-time.


We won and are Big Ten Champs, bring on the fireworks.


We met up with Rick and Drew right as the game ended. Drew recommend we storm the field, my Dad said, "Why not," so we wandered onto the field.

Badger - Gophers Hockey

Another year another Gopher - Badger Hockey game.
Unlike last year's train wreck, Bucky put a huge hurt on Goldy winning 6 - 0.

Thanks again to Clark for providing the ticket to the game.


5th Row is pretty nice view.


Hey, where did all the Gopher fans go?

Guess they were trying to beat the traffic.

And now the second best news of the night. They are dropping a BW3 in the building between TCF, Mariucci, and Williams.

#18 Badgers vs. #1 Ohio State

What felt like the longest day (in a good way) in Badger watching history ended with a big victory over #1 Ohio State. The day consisted of watching the end of Game Day (Corso put on the Bucky head), Wings, a Fishbowl at Wando's, the Badger hoops scrimmage (with Michael Finley), Beers at Regent Street Retreat, Pizza and Spotted cow at Rocky's and finally the game.

Onto the Pictures:

Gameday bus (Gameday pictures are from Kevin's Blackberry resulting in actually pretty good quality)


It's Gameday, Let's Go!


One of 2 Wazzou flags. One of the great college football traditions.


Kevin with a Fishbowl. We somehow finished this with the help of his sister-in-law.


Me and Finley.


Scrimmage shot. White won costing me a dollar.


Kevin and I on the court right before security shooed us off.


Brutus before the Buckeyes took the field.


Second to last play of the game.


Hells yeah!


Beginning of the fans taking the field.


Move fans on the field.


Even more fans.

Arizona State - Week 3

What a bizarre game. A touchdown preventing tackle at the 1 right before half gets a helmet sticker, and a blocked extra point in the 4th quarter secures the 20 - 19 win.

Not too many good pictures for this game:

With a 2:30 start, we had time to enjoy the best Madison has to offer....Beer on the Terrace and the Onion.

Sparky wouldn't turn our way.

Big blocked extra point.

Week 2 - San Jose State

Another game where Bucky looked average against a bad team. Pictures are not as exciting as the trip to Vegas but here goes:

Band and Alumni band before the game.

Way too close a score for such a bad opponent.

Badgers vs. UNLV - 2010 Week 1

Good News: Badgers are 1 - 0.
Bad News: They only won by 20, while I had -20.5.
Ugly News: See the picture of the couple 2 rows in front of us making out.

Onto the pictures.

Badgers take the field.


This fugly couple were making out most of the night.


Final score. Still slightly annoyed that Bucky didn't cover.


Shot after the game. The guy in front of volunteered to take it.
Notice how it is centered and everything.
