    If you want to be a BADGER, just come along with me

    BRING BACK PAT RICHTER!!!


    At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."

    Canned music is a pathetic waste of your time.

      He's either on the first big step to a grand European coaching career or 6 months away from being a mid season replacement for the Galaxy.

              Maybe the play-in would be at home field?

              Seems to me if you were going to do that make it a champions league home and home.

                Last I heard Swansea (they're the green and yellow guys, right? (edit: no, that's Norwich)) was celebrated for exciting, up-tempo successful play. Did their coach leave for a bigger club?

                  Swansea is in relegation territory(I know the season has just started)so I'm guessing the latter.

                    Welp, since I adopted them they're 3-0-0, 6 GF 0 GA. Next four matches are hosting Swansea, Ludogorets (who I had never heard of before; Bulgarian team in the Champions League), Middlesborough, and Reading (League Cup) and hey that gets me to hockey season.

                            12 pools of 4 teams. Top team in each pool get an automatic spot into the Round of 16. The second best teams in each pool have a playoff to get the final four slots into the Round of 16. Maybe have it be double elimination as some teams there would have to play at least 2 games while 4 teams would only get one game in a single elimination tournament.
