My favorite Badger cheer has always been the rewrite of the Budweiser commercial: When you say Wis-con-sin, you've said it all!

That makes me smile, even right now typing it out on this screen. (The polka-ish song is now on repeat in my head.)

That said, as an adult, the "Shoot 'em like a horse" cheer that students hurl at injured players seems a little untoward. (Not sure if they still do that one.) As a student it was great fun.
That stopped about 20 years ago.

I'm not a fan of the "Eat Shit - Fuck You" garbage, which they still do between sections O and P.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

That's what I thought, but I haven't been anywhere near the student section in a long time--and haven't been to that many home games, either.
Agreed on the O/P "cheers."

One of my kids went in and edited my trilogy and made a map, which is awesome.  These books are my stab at fantasy stuff.  I am really not a good proofreader of my own writings.

I hear the weather and dining options in Twixt are outstanding, but real estate prices are sky high.

Only beach property is expensive, once you go inland a couple miles there are bargains.

It's an indication of how humans will react when in a crowd differently from how many would react by themselves.

We're herd animals.

MWF I try to go over to a tennis practice court in the park and throw a baseball off the wall for 30-45 minutes.  I work on control and some other things, it's kind of fun, but sweaty this time of year.  Anyway, today I was walking back across the "quad", which has two soccer fields and two softball fields surrounded by a track, and I cut across it.  A guy was kicking the soccer ball around and the ball landed in front of me, and 50 yards from him, so I walked up to it and kicked it back to him.  And my plant foot slipped on the wet grass and I went down.  It's wet enough that I plopped, and had mud all over my backside and arms.  I was OK, but muddy.  I had a T shirt in my hand and managed to wipe off some of it.  But I was half covered in dark black mud.  

Managed to get home and strip down in our half bath and get off some of the mud, and then make it upstairs to the shower.  I found mud crumbs along my path later.  The shower looked funny a bit, and I was still sweating, I hate to shower when sweating but whatever.  Came down and rinsed off my shorts and T shirt and socks and put them on the deck to dry.  They are a mess.

The happy part is I didn't physically hurt myself.  Yay.

Yeah, that's one of the things I hate about showering right after a workout... I get out of the shower, and then start sweating again. 

When we went to the brewery on Sunday, my wife had done her Peloton ride first, and then (as usual) I do mine while she's showering and getting ready. It was a pretty heavy 60 minute ride, and as soon as I was done, I hopped right in the shower... Even took a cold shower b/c I was trying to cool off faster. But I started sweating after the shower and had to have the AC in the car blasting on me the entire time we were driving to the brewery to cool me off enough to stop.
