This past weekend saw a lot happen with WI sports, and I'll get to that in a moment. First, the highlight of my weekend was going shopping with my wife. I know that many of you are reading this and thinking I am just pandering to my wife, but I'm not. I have been in a deperate need for a new work wardrobe for a long time. My wife took me clothes shopping as her birthday present to me and it was great as I have absolutely no sense of style. I'm 6'3" and thus have to get big/tall clothing items and our first stop to JCPenny was disheartening to say the least with their poor selection. However, the feeling I got at Eddie Bauer was akin to how the Isrealites of old must have felt upon seeing the Ark of the Covenant for the first time. The heavens parted and a light shown all about the store while angels sang and handed me shirts that fit and looked good and the sales going on there, which resulted in us getting over 50% off 5 real nice dress shirts made me drop to my knees and weep as it was so beautiful. It was great to restock the closet and throw out old crap I don't even wear anymore.
Buckin' good times
The Bucks win games at Washington and home against Orlando. I said time and time again last season that Mo Williams was a good player. Oh and now ESPN on their Power Rankings (Bucks are 8th) state: "Folks have been excited about Bucks' depth ever since the Magloire trade. That was before anyone had even mentioned Mo Williams and before he started tossing in game-winners." I said it first Marc Stein, take that!
We know what's in the Badgers wallet!
That would be the Capitol One Bowl on January 2nd on ABC against Auburn. What a fantastic way to end the season for Barry. I'm not going to lie, this is an extremely tough game and the Badgers should be double digit underdogs. Nevertheless, I'm going to enjoy the hell out of this moment and the game itself.
Badger Hockey
This great quote from USCHO.com describes the weekend sweep the #1 Badgers had over the Goophs : "Friday, the Wisconsin Badgers got a monkey off their backs at Mariucci Arena. On Saturday, the Badgers drop-kicked the monkey into the next county." This quote just makes me smile and giggle. Oh and in case anyone is wondering, that would put the Border Battle at 140-100 Advantage: WISCONSIN!
Packers
I'll have a comment on their running for the Reggie Bush sweepstakes tomorrow over at The Frozen Tundra.

Yeah, I wonder if Kessel regrets his decision now to spurn the Badgers, his hometown team. Man! Did they pound the Gophers or what?
