It's also over on the right bar over there. Although my wife sometimes argues with me, my pick is the Milwaukee Brewers as my favorite sports team. Especially these Brewers, everything about this team makes me love baseball despite the ridiculous corporate structure of the MLB(as opposed to the brilliant setup of the NFL). The Brewers overcame some terrible ownership, and have been saved by LA businessman
Mark Attanasio, who had his father sing the national anthem for game 1 of the playoffs(who also sings the anthem at every opening game). And not just the team, but two words which makes a world of difference;
Bob Uecker. The team is sooo Milwaukee and sooo Wisconsin. Don't get me wrong, I love watching the other Wisconsin teams(well I don't watch the NBA...), but the question is who's number 1. Ask me in a couple years and maybe I will have changed my mind.. I think it will be interesting to see the results on this one. By the way,
the staches win on the previous poll.

I'd vote for the Milwaukee Admirals, but you don't have them in the list, so I chose 'Other'.
Ask and ye shall receive!
By the way Larry, what was up with game 4? I hope they pull it out tomorrow.
Regarding the staches poll, am I correct in remember that this was some sort of contentious issue among the Badger Catholic household?
I was thinking about how you might better present the alternatives to your wife. Don't give her the options of 'stache vs. no 'stache. That's a loaded question.
Instead, have her choose between 'stache or mullet. I think you'd find she's rather receptive to the 'stache.
That said, I have a great deal of respect for mulleteers everywhere. Cheeseburgers.
I like your thinking Steve. I was told something along the lines of "your stupid blog cant change my mind." ... which I of course added "... yet!" But really, we all know staching > mulleteering.
True story, someone came up to me and asked if I was the Badger Catholic and that "they almost didn't recognize me without my mustache." That was probably the greatest thing I've ever heard about this blog.
Careful, Mrs BC does have the emotional ninja card regarding the stache.
Two things: I bet anything that a lot of those "others" are Badger Hockey, and who are the Marquette Warriors?
Good point, I do like Badger hockey too, and they have more championships than most of the other sports.
Yes, the "Warriors" was intentional.
Hmm, the display was goofy after I added a couple so I trimmed the list down to 8.
BC - game four? What game four? There was a game four? Hmmm - must have missed it...
Larry; you have 49 states rooting for your Tigers right now. I hope they can go into NY and ... maybe after a rain delay... finish off those dreaded pinstripes.
And now the Brew Crew has to play a game five as well. I'm out of fingernails - how about you?
I'm grateful I have other Wisconsin sports to fall back on just in case... Glad to be playing game 5 at home. Wish I could say for the Tigers...
Larry, did you know both Fr. John Hardon and Fr. Solanus Casey were big Tigers fans?
Larry, did you know both Fr. John Hardon and Fr. Solanus Casey were big Tigers fans?
I didn't know that - but now that I do, I have a couple guys who can intercede on their behalf.
As to other teams to fall back on - well, the Lions are 4-0 (and the sun still rises in the East - whaddya know!), the Red Wings season starts tomorrow night, and I'm an MSU grad. I'm pretty well set should the Yanks *shudder* eliminate the Cats.
I was going to mention your fallbacks as well... but I didn't want to start betting my turkey dinner just yet...
I was about to choose 'other', because the Brewers and Packers kind of share the #1 spot in my eyes.
But you reminded me of Attanasio's 'save', and the fact that he's just so darned likeable, which includes his choosing his beloved father to sing the anthem. I love that.
