This Weekend in Awful Wisconsin Sports News

Okay, I'm not going to lie to you. I saw neither the Badgers nor Packers game. My wife scored free tickets to the Carolina/U Conn game, which is why I missed the former, and I'm out of region and not about to pay for Sunday Ticket which is why I missed the latter. I'd actually dvr'd the Badgers game, but since I was keeping track of the score on my phone, I only would have watched it if they'd won. Kinda counterintuitive, I know.

Anyway, from what I've read, both games were decided because the defenses didn't hold tough enough. Oh well.

Add to that the fact that the Brewers exited their first post-season appearance since Reagan's first term early (but not as early as the Cubs; enjoy that next 100 years, a-holes!), and it was a pretty crappy weekend all told.

Still, though, Wisconsin could still stay in the mix if they can beat Penn State in Madison next weekend (a scenario that seems increasingly unlikely, unfortunately). Green Bay is at Seattle, which could (should) be a win. Even with a 2-3 record, with two division wins already, the Packers are still relevant in the NFC North hunt.

Plus, the Scott Skiles era is right around the corner. Imagine how weird it'll be to see the Bucks playing defense.
