Happy anniversary Badger Catholics!

Today is the one year anniversary of The Badger Catholic blog!  Today also is the Memorial of St John Capistrano(new calendar), the great Italian Franciscan priest and 70 year old leader of a crusade against the Ottoman Turks whom were quickly razing and pillaging the Kingdom of Hungary.  In my opinion he is also definitely the basis of JRR Tolkien's Gandalf character, at least in a historical context(Gandalf was actually a member of a race of angels, not of the race of men).

As the battle rages on, cheers and slainte!
Kapisztrán Szent János, ora pro nobis!!

Congratulations, and keep up the great work. How nice of Wisconsin to celebrate this blessed day by dispatching the Hawkeyes!

Thanks Larry. An incredible win! I don't know if you saw the game but I've never seen Wisconsin put together a drive like they did to win that game. I see you escaped those tricky Wildcats. I told someone during the Badger game that if WI can pull off wins against OSU and Iowa, they will definitely lose to Northwestern. Seems to be the way things always go.

Yeah, it was close until the final interception with 45 seconds to go. A struggle all the way - and we were down 17-0 in the 2nd quarter too.

MSU plays Iowa next week - another tough road game. And the Hawkeyes' won't be all that happy either.

I am rooting for MSU ... of course it doesn't hurt the Badgers ranking if the one team they lost to stays undefeated. MSU vs WI for national championship? It almost happened with MI OSU a few years ago.
