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.

The formation/personal that they should have run much more during the game.


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.

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.

Second to last play of the game.


Hells yeah!
