Go Badgers!

So far, the Badgers (18-1) have been able to take care of business in the Big Ten, but it hasn't necessarily been pretty. Last Saturday they pulled out a six-point win at Northwestern (10-7), and trailed for much of the second half. Then on Wednesday, they pulled off a five-point win over a more formidable opponent in Purdue (13-6). What does this all mean? Well, in years past, the Badgers would have likely lost the game at Northwestern, with this being the first win in last three games for the Badgers at Welsh-Ryan Arena. This win especially showed even though they aren't winning easily, they are winning, and more importantly playing as a unit.

Today, the Badgers travel to Illinois (14-6), in hopes of continuing the nations longest win streak. Champaign is a tough place to play, but this is a Badger team that has what it takes to win on the road. Wednesday, the Badgers host Michigan (15-4) at the Kohl Center. Michigan's is a good long range shooting team, one of the few weaknesses this Badger team has. But playing at home does give them the advantage. Hopefully by next week, they will be (20-1), Go Badgers!

Movie of the Week 003

In honor of my trip to Vegas for work this week, my pick for movie of the week is Swingers. For me, this movie is Vince Vaughn at his very best. From the classic one liner’s this movie spawned, to the “Making Gretzky’s head bleed” scene, he gives this movie life. So if you are a Vince Vaughn fan, or just want to laugh and enjoy a good movie, get to your local video store and rent it, or add it to your Netflix Que.

LOST the "Maxi-Series" Part II

I read an article on Yahoo! News today that was related to the topic I posted recently about ABC's hit show LOST. It stated that the makers of the show are indeed in talks to determine an end date for the show. As I stated before, I feel this be good way to handle this show. By knowing when the show will end, it could reduce some of the edginess fans have about the twists and turns, knowing that the writers do have an ultimate plan for the show. This decision seems to have a good deal to do with the way the X-Files was handled in the past.
