2011 Football Week 2: Oregon State

Elizabeth finally made it into Camp Randall for a Badgers game. Valerie and her sat in our seats, while I sat with Rick in mid-Section B. Fortunately the game was another blow-out, so E and Valerie were able to join us in the middle of the 4th quarter.

Picture time.

Elizabeth too interested in everything happening on the field to look into the camera.

A different scoreboard, but a similar result.

2011 Football Week 1: UNLV

This game included easily the most bizarre pre-game tailgate, followed by Russell Wilson's first game as a Badger.

An easy win by Bucky, even though they didn't cover due to the new kickers missed extra point. Good choice by me not having Valerie place that bet while she was out in Vegas.

Onto the pictures:

The new BW3 had a Ron Dayne Heisman. Not sure how many of these there are out there, or specifically why one was at a BW3.


On the way to the Tailgate, was reminded of the fun that Wisconsin has been going through the past year.


So the tailgate included a grill without any lighter fluid, so the grill was trying to be started by burning someone's Thesis. Needless to say, the fire was never started.

Also, a guest asked if it was ok if she rolled...


Fortunately, they had Spotted Cow


Wow, that's a big flag.

Big Win

2011 Rose Bowl

The Rose Bowl is long over, and looking back, I am not terribly crushed by the loss. TCU was a very good team and if Wisconsin brought their A game, they would have won.

Oh well. Picture time.

Tickets for the long day.

Stealth Bombers in flight are pretty tough to take a picture of.

Half-time Show.


Badgers had a long way to march down the field.

Final Score. Stupid 2-point conversion from the shot gun.


Elizabeth didn't take the loss well, but a trip to Disneyland the next day put a smile on her face.

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.

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.
