“And yet when my grandfather has an appointment, I’m the one taking the day off work and hauling my 3 year old around. The ‘rents are in for a rude awakening if they expect any help from me in 20 years. Selfish bastards”

It’s one tradition that a decent number of alumni and fans wouldn’t mind seeing end. I know multiple chancellors have gotten emails, letters, and now tweets expressing concerns about. My father, who’s an alum of another school in the UW System and a Badger fan, won’t go to a football game because of the bad behavior…

No college or university is perfect. They all have their scandals. I remember when the using clout for admissions came out around 2009ish. My reaction was something along the lines of what an Illinois scandal and that explains how one person I knew got into law school. It didn’t come as a shock to me with the pay to…

To be honest, one of them could be considered an honorary FIB: She’s a Cubs fan and prefers Portillo’s to Culver’s. All that’s needed is her wearing orange and blue instead of red and white or green and gold.

Thank you for showing how much class and dignity Wisconsin fans have. I hope you enjoy your Wal-Mart Badger fan status.

I’m a Big Ten person and I agree with you that Alabama very much deseved their spot in the playoff last year. I don’t think that Iowa or Michigan State should have been in the playoffs. I’m not an OSU fan, but they should have been the Big Ten representatives. I would prefer that the Big 10 team that goes wins and…

Here’s a story that will warm your heart

It’s more the irony of multiple people who couldn’t even graduate from college making jokes about your alma mater. I know they are bad and were bad when I went there, but at least the basketball team was good then.

As someone who currently lives in Madison, but went to another B1G university, I cannot stand Wisconsin athletics in general. I was a basketball fan until the whole Bo Ryan thing happened earlier this year. I was never a football fan.

It’s probably best in retrospect that Chicago didn’t get the Olympics. I was disappointed at the time because it would have been a great way to showcase how Chicago and its surrounding areas are more than flyover country. I didn’t understand how more existing facilities weren’t planned to be used, including Soldier…

He could also help her in Arizona too. Arizona is already getting some more Democratic attention because of the tight Senate race, but it could be a swing state in November. I thought Texas would turn purple before Arizona once Latino voters started asserting themselves by showing up and voting against the GOP crazy…

I live in Wisconsin and special is the right word to describe Wisconsin sports fans. The Packers fanbase is just the tip of the iceberg as far as the specialness goes. The Badgers fans are a whole other level of special. I’m originally from Illinois and loved the much maligned Jay Cutler and the Bears ruining Brett…

Now that Pence is the rumored front runner as Trump’s VP choice, can we please wineboard him and Trump with Elizabeth Warren standing in for FrankenMountain insult tweeting them. Despite what you may think about Cersei, you have to admire her solution to ensure separation of church and state.

I have one male colleague who is the poster boy for the inefficient male worker. He’s almost always late, which is the root of the problem, and not by 5 minutes. It’s more like 15 to 25 minutes late multiple times a week. My female boss is a sucker for anyone with a sob story and he milks his of being a single,…

Sansa probably has no real overwhelming desire for a leadership role at this point. I could see her acting as Jon’s Hand of the King either on her own or in partnership with Davos, assuming that his role isn’t as Jon’s military commander. Sansa probably will be the diplomatic face of the North, especially in…

I also find it interesting that she chose to omit that she graduated from a top tier public high school in the Houston suburbs. Most top level public universities in the US could fill 80 to 90 percent of their freshmen class from the high school graduating classes from their larger cities and suburban areas. Texas…

The same group that recruited her as a test case to challenge UT-Austin is now looking for other recruits to challenge affirmative action policies at other top public universities. Their targets now are UNC-Chapel Hill and UW-Madison. They now have a group attacking UNC, but nothing yet for Wisconsin. I’m surprised…

Wisconsin has the same general process for those who don’t get into UW-Madison as freshmen. Take one or two years at one of a dozen other schools in the UW System and transfer into Madison as either a sophomore or a junior. I have family members that applied to Madison last year but didn’t get in due to the…

Follow your insticts and get her vaccinated. It’s best that as many healthy people get vaccinated to protect the small numbers who can’t take vaccinations or have compromised immune systems.

I don’t have any kids but my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer 2 years ago. Because of the chemo, her immune system was very weak and her white blood cell count got very low around Thanksgiving and Xmas. She didn’t go to any extended family functions during that time because she was concerned about catching even…
