This afternoon two extremely rare events will happen simultaneously.

[Jackpine Radical]

1) I will watch TV.
2) I will watch a football game. The Rose Bowl, to be specific.

The last time these 2 events occurred simultaneously was the last time the Badgers went to the Rose Bowl.

That time it was just a game.

This time, it's practically personal, ever since I heard about some dimwitted Texas DJ saying it was the Texas Christians against the Madison Socialists." I tell ya, we gotta stomp 'em into the ground.

[pacalo]

1. In that case, go Wisconsin!

[givemebackmycountry]

2. JP - Here is my take...

TCU has no idea what they are about to encounter.
They are going to hang around for a while, and they will absorb a few blows and probably land a few of their own.
But, then the game is going to wear on them and right around the 4th quarter, all those punches they took are going to finally take their toll.
And when that happens, the Badgers are just going to stomp on their dreams and send them back to Fort Worth or whatever Texas hell-hole they climbed out of.

3. I will flip back and forth

between Gator and Cap One Bowls. Then onto the Roses

So far Denard is being Denard and the Wolverine punt game is being the usual. M Go Blue! and Go Big Red!

Boo hoo Spartans.

[NavyDem]

4. While these events are not rare in my household...

I will also be watching that exact game, and rooting for Wisky. I'm a Husker fan, so I've been pulling for all the Big 10 teams in the bowl season.

[left is right]

5. I have never watched a football game wouldn’t know who won without someone telling me

but I to will be hoping for a wisconsin win

[Oceansaway]

6. GO BADGERS !!...nt

[Saturday]

7. I knew WI was playing but,,,,,

I didn't know who the other team was. For sure I will watch now. GO WI!

[pansypoo53219]

8. and watch 1/2 time for our band.

the 5th quarter rocks. my family had a reunion this summer and across the park lane, there was a party of wis stdents or something and with just 10 band players marching to their party, we had a 1/2 hour or so of fine entertainment. many in our group did the chicken dance on cue. hillarious. ON WISCONSIN!

[SpiralHawk]

9. On Wisconsin

[cali]

10. Go Badgers!

and have a great afternoon, Jackpine.

[NBachers]

11. Allow me to brag up the San Francisco Liberal Giants clobbering the Bush Rangers in the World Series

Rangers players and sports casters were making a big deal about the pot fumes rolling over the field.

[MilesColtrane]

12. "Bush Rangers"

You don't seem to know that George Bush hasn't had an interest in the Rangers for the past twelve years.

And, "liberal" multi-millionairel Bill Neukom was a key Microsoft lawyer who helped defend the company against an anti-trust lawsuit filed by the government.

[NBachers]

13. Uuuuh- excuse me- W Bush & his family were prominently featured in televised coverage of the Series

and it was direct association of W and the Rangers- you cannot cannot cannot truthfully deny this. It's fact; it happened; and it's true, dude.

[MilesColtrane]

14. Whatever keeps the hate alive in your heart, dude.

:hi:

[NBachers]

17. Hey I posted an expression of pride (not hate)- and I still maintain it- in the San Francisco Giants

The facts speak for themselves.

[Jackpine Radical]

15. But maybe he's a libertarian.

You know, a Republican who smokes pot.

[jwirr]

16. Go Madison!

[rucky]

18. Go Big 10!

Still sore about the Buckeyes loss, but Badgers earned it this season.

[WolverineDG]

19. Well, I'm rooting for TCU

That was my mom's alma mater & while she was alive, they never won a damn thing. :)

[Ishoutandscream2]

21. Just another reason for Texas bashing

One referred to the city where TCU comes from as a "hell hole." Probably have never been to Fort Worth. But that kind of thing is typical of DU.

Oh, and my mother graduated from there as well. She loved going there.

[WolverineDG]

22. Oh, I know. It's always Texas-bashing season on DU

new civility rules or not.

Here's to the Horned Frogs!!

[pipi_k]

23. The only place I would ever bash...

is Newark, NJ.

Other than that, the rest of the country is great.

:+



Having said that, though, I'm still going to root for the Badgers. And blame it on a family friend's daughter in law (from TX) who married their (MA) son while he was stationed down south. They just moved back up to MA in September, and since then the DIL has not missed an opportunity to bash MA for just about everything.

Before even moving up here, she made a most odd statement about how MA is "full of loud-mouthed obnoxious Italians".

Yeah. She really did say that. Actually, wrote it. On FaceBook. I saw it.


Everything is BETTER is Texas, according to her.


So fuck her.


Go Badgers!!!

:7

[Ishoutandscream2]

20. Go TCU!!

Wonderful university, great campus, and a fine city (Fort Worth). It's not a "hell hole" and it's produced some fine graduates, including my mom.

Pull for whoever you like. But this urge to use a sport event to once again bash Texas is ridiculous. But, it's typical for DU.

Enjoy the game, and may the better team win. And screw politics; it's just a game.

[WolverineDG]

27. OMG! They won!!

Wherever my mom is, I bet she's happy! Go Froggies!

[El Supremo]

24. Are you ready for the raptue???

[Jack Rabbit]

25. On, Wisconsin!

[MilesColtrane]

26. Oh, my.

That didn't work out to well for you Wisconsin fans, now did it?
