As a Wisconsin fan that hates all things Ohio State, I’m still going to have to say as long as the Badgers win that game, I don’t care where they end up. Especially after the game last year.
Wisconsin just didn’t have a good weekend in sports – period. For the Badgers, I’ll be salty if they don’t make playoffs but as long as they beat TheOSU this year, I’ll be content.
I know it’s covered in the districts my friends teach in, and the one I grew up in. I did find out though that three of the districts in the city I now live in leave it up to the teacher to decide whether or not they want to teach it to their students at all. You’d think an event on our own soil that affected over 10,000 people by death or health causes and sparked a war would be considerable enough to teach in the classroom…
I agree it should be a teaching moment given by parents, but why aren’t they also learning about what happened and why in their civics/American history classes? Hell, I remember learning about 9/11 all through middle and high school history courses. Are some school districts just omitting it from their agendas, or are kids just not paying any attention or don’t care anymore?
Overheard a 15 or so year old yesterday say “What even is the significance of 9/11 besides just the towers thing” and almost lost it in the grocery store.
Ah man, that’s rough. I ended up just working from home today so I didn’t have to get out of my pajamas…that’s as exciting as my birthday is going to get…
Good God, this is hit way too close to home today – especially the “My birthday is just another day. And this year, it was on a Tuesday” but just swap out Tuesday with Wednesday instead. Birthday’s just aren’t the same anymore…
The worst thing about 11:00a kickoff times in Colorado is when you have to get to the bar by 8:30am for a Packer game (which is a huge party/deal in the city I live in) otherwise you wont come remotely close to getting a table or seat at the bar. But then again it balances out with the 6:20/6:30p games…
Just flew back with three packs of New Glarus Staghorn Octoberfest and I’m way too excited to savor that through the fall since I can’t buy it anywhere remotely close to where I live. Fall beers and stouts are the best.
Surprised that “Well, there are other fish in the sea” didn’t have a remark. That’s my mom’s go to favorite piece of ‘advice’ (if you can even call it that) when I talk about a breakup and it bothers me like no other.
Ending the summer boating and camping up in Wyoming with some friends while indulging in too many drinks, then coming back for a blind date on Monday….we’ll see how that goes. Have a fun and safe weekend, everyone!
Completely agree. My dad always told me that if I get married during CFB season and the Badgers play anytime after 3:00, he’ll basically be absent for my wedding. So you best believe I won’t be scheduling a wedding on any of those days…
Going home to surprise my one of my Oma’s I haven’t seen in nine months and to see my best friends I haven’t seen in eight months. Excited is an understatement. Have a great weekend everyone!

I’m seeing Fleetwood Mac in November when they hit Vegas. I’ve got that and Ben Howard at Red Rocks coming up.
That is, if we were to ever get that chance to play them this year.

For all the Denver-area/Colorado Springs people, Red Rocks have movie showings every few weeks there and that’s a great place to go for a date.
With a flannel or nice button down underneath. Yes.
Some people are raising way too much of a sheltered youth these days.

Yes! Tony’s downtown! That’s where I’ll be for the game tomorrow (:

Life of Ryan was my obsession from 2007 to 2009. Didn’t know a thing about skateboarding but I was willing to learn because of Ryan Sheckler.
