*VERY BIG GRIN*

They did it! They came back from 18 points down to win :) Badgers will play UNLV on Sunday :) GO BADGERS!

Updates...

I realized I never updated just how much snow we ended up with after my last post. From Friday night about 6PM to Sunday about 6PM, we ended up with about 17 inches of snow. By the time the storm finally moved completely out late Monday, we had 20 inches of new snow on the ground. Late the following week, we had some issues with freezing rain and rain and a little snow, but nothing serious. Starting this weekend it's going to warm up enough to really do away with this snow. We're talking mid 50's by next Monday and Tuesday!

In other news, the Big 10 Tourney starts tomorrow, with my Badgers playing on Friday night. I'm hoping Michigan State lays an egg tomorrow, but it's not likely - and that means my Badgers will get a third crack at Michigan State. It occurred to me yesterday that to win a national championship at the college level, or even in the pros for that matter, you don't have to be the most talented team. You just have to want it the most. Now, I don't know if my Badgers want it the most, but they do want it a lot. We'll just have to see if that's enough.

I've made a decision

I've decided to sit back and enjoy the ride. The loss @ Michigan State on Tuesday night doesn't really change my opinion of the Badgers. They're a great team this year and have the potential to be a special team (read: Win it all). I'm going to stop worrying about seeding and winning the Big Ten and am just going to enjoy it. While a loss on Sunday would be disappointing, any loss by your favorite team is disappointing. It's been a fun season so far and it ain't over yet!

It's halftime...

It's halftime at the UW-MSU (Wisconsin - Michigan State) game and I definitely agree with the pundits - both teams need to find some defense. My Badgers need to find the answer to Neitzel and quick. It's nice to see, however, the Badgers getting MSU into foul trouble early. That's a hallmark of the Badgers this year and it's nice to see it continue. Now, whether Wisconsin's ability to make the 3 this half is due to Michigan State's apparent lack of D this half, or if it's a continuation of the current trend, I dont know. I do, however, like it! And of course, Tucker's doing his thing again :) You know, I watch Tucker play and I watch Oden play and I have to wonder why Oden's being included in POY talk. Nevermind the fact that Oden didn't play at the beginning of the season and is just recently truly playing well. In my mind, a POY needs to have/do the following things:

• Leadership
• Great numbers in relation to his team's numbers (in other words, compare Durant's numbers in relation to his team's numbers with Tucker's numbers in relation to his team's numbers.)
• Makes his teammates want to be better, just because he's on the team
• Has the magical 'it' quality
• Recognizes the adage "There's no 'I' in team", then follows it

Okay, here we go...second half time. GO BADGERS!

Argh!

Idiot Badgers! I don't care if this game is on that road, the Badgers should be beating up on Penn State. They definitely shouldn't be tied with Penn State, nor should this be a close game. Penn State is a bottom feeder for a reason and the Badgers need to dominate them like the #4 team they are.

I can already tell Im going to do some booing tonight

It's not even ten minutes after seven and I'm already booing the officials. GO BADGERS!

*sigh* Is it too much to ask for semi-even officiating?

With 8.6 seconds to go, my Badgers are down by 4 points. They're going to lose and generally speaking I'd be disappointed but okay. However, the officiating wasnt close to even. Seriously, if you're going to call travelling on the Badgers (and I have my doubts on some of those calls), you've got to call them on Indiana too. I don't care where the game's being played. If it's called on the Badgers, it's gotta be called on Indiana too and tonight it wasn't - and that was the difference in the game.
