Waking up in the Central Texas town of Elgin. The G in Elgin pronounced as in Gun, not the drink Gin. Population up from 4k in the 90s to over 9k thanks to Austin’s encroaching sprawl.

Last night we attended a Homecoming high school football game – Elgin Wildcats Vs Pfugerville Connally Cougars. The Elgin defensive coordinator lurked the sideline wearing a Cowboy hat.

Happened to meet the High School’s athletic director while visiting Elgin’s museum earlier in the day. He was returning a yearbook from 1914 that he was copying historical photos from for Homecoming posters. He was dressed in the school colors, and Main Street is decked out in purple as well.

All in all a fitting day since Elgin, along with nearby Coupland TX is one of the two towns outside of Austin where the 1999 High School Football film Varsity Blues was filmed. Among other movies to include Walking Dead, Chainsaw Massacre, and Gilbert Grape.

It’s early, and we’ll need the sooner start to make the hour or so drive into @Gigem’s territory, to College Station for the 11AM Texas A&M kickoff Vs Auburn. This year my annual Auburn game will also count as my first Aggies game.

Really Wisconsin?  Going for 2?

Ok F*ck Wisconsin.

Some really bad calls against Purdue tonight.  Would be easier to overlook them if Wisconsin wasn't such a low class program.

I'll look and see if anyone asked him about going for two.

Wisconsin is anything but a low-class program though.

Historically Wisconsin has always been a high class program.

I should have elaborated, as Wisconsin just replaced the coaching staff.  I was speaking more towards Fickell and his staff.

I'm not too familiar with Fickell, but it seemed low class to me to go for 2 there.  I can't find a reason they would need it.

Also there was a lot of vodka involved.

That confused me just as much as it confused you. I put some feelers out on the homer boards to see if anyone asked about it. I don't know why you'd do that in that situation, unless the kicker was hurt??

I've also not heard anything bad about Fickell.

Agree on the vodka too. Right there with you.

From Rivals Badger site:


The most interesting decision was to go for the two-point conversion up 19 points after the final touchdown. And to do it with a second Philly Special. After the game, Luke Fickell said he let the "book", or analytics, make that decision.


I still don't like it. I get it to go up 21 - IF there were 10 minutes left. There were around 3 minutes left at that point.

He went for two because he couldn’t go for three?
