Badgers vs. Iowa

For the 2nd time since starting the blog, I attending a football loss. Badgers gave a completely unacceptable performance in the 2nd half. Make some adjustments and look off the defenders once in a while.

Anyway. Picture time.

The athletic department wasted no time updating the plaque with the Badger Gopher score from 2 weeks ago.


Lawyers and canes.


Self Photo time. This is the debut of the new red cap. I project 5 years until I get a new one.


We did stay until the end, but after another Tolzien pick, I shot this and put the camera away.

Badgers vs. Gophers

First Trip to TCF Bank Stadium resulted in another win over the Gophers and another year keeping the Axe. Big thanks to Glenn for giving up his 2nd ticket to a Badger fan.

Camp Randall, The Horseshoe, The Big House, and the Bank?


View from the 50 yard line.


View from the End Zone. Look at the "big scoreboard"



I don't even know where to begin with this. Goldy with a Favre jersey and a fake axe. WTF?


Glenn's seats are similar to Section A, but about 20 rows closer (an not under an overhang)

Hit with a paper cup trying to take a picture of the "W" flag. Really classy Minnesota.

Self photo. Glenn not happy about the outcome.

Another win over the Gophers.


Leaving the Bank for Dinkytown.

Badgers vs. Fresno State - Week 2 2009

I forgot my camera, so this site is stuck with images from my garbage cell phone.

Thrilling double overtime victory over a tough Fresno State team.

Onto the horrible pictures.

This may wind up as the best self photo on this site.


The single digit QTR prevents 2OT.

Badgers vs. Northern Illinois - Week 1 2009

Another season, another series of pictures.

Good game for Bucky until the 4th quarter. Tolzien looked good. Defense looked improved. Hopefully a better season this year.

Full day: Dotty's, Terrace, Brats, Engineering Mall, Tailgate, game.

Pictures below.

Game wasn't this close, but got scary at the end.

Badger - Gopher Hoops

The game was ours until we ran the prevent offense.
Also should note that Hightower made so many bad calls in the 2nd half (hurt both teams), as I correctly predicted at half-time.

Family picture time


Really, again with the dogs?


We really need this basket.

Gophers vs. Badgers Women's Hockey

I went to my first Women's Hockey game with Elizabeth. Other than E's obsession with Goldy, it was pretty much a sucess. That and the fact that she started getting antsy and we left at 2 - 2 in the 3rd. As of this post I have no idea who won.

Down goes the popcorn


Elizabeth's first time in the blog.



2 - 2 in the 3rd. Who won?

Badger - Gopher Hockey

The Badgers finally won a game that I attended at Mariucci.
Some tense momoents after going up 3 - 0 at the end of 2 and then holding on to win 3 - 2.

The band is back


This is the earliest I have ever left a Badger game. Penn St. wound up scoring one more time.

Week 3 - Fresno State

The only thing to comment on this game is that I am glad that the horrible call reversal on the fumble didn't cost Bucky the win. A 13-10 win that ended at 12:40am? I am way to old for that.

Week 2 - Marshall

At 10:15am the power went out at our house. As a result, we watched the 1st half at BW-3 and then I watched the 2nd half at Old Chicago. Needless to say, I enjoyed the second half much more.

Power didn't come back until after 2:30 (after the game was over).

I am now 0 - 2 trying to tape the game during the live showing. Thankfully, the BTN airs each game 100 times.

2008 - Week 1 vs. Akron

I am happy Wisconsin won and their running backs looked really good. Not sure if the QB is going to hold us back, but we are 1-0.

Pre-Game (even though only my father and I went to the game, the whole family geared up)

Best self picture ever


A big win
