I hope she finds Madison and its beautiful lakes to her liking. Gonna be a great year I can feel it. Defending champions balling out and hopefully extending the winning streak against tree planting cornhuskers. Can't wait for the season to begin. "Tree-planting"? Did I miss something? Tree planters is an outdated term for people from Nebraska. I kind of like it though as I am eco-friendly.

Do you know what it references? One thing I don't associate with the state of Nebraska is trees, though I'm sure they have some.

Plant Trees, Get Land for Free "The 1873 provision allowed homesteaders to acquire 160 acres of land by planting 40 acres of trees and tending them for 10 years. Nebraska Senator Phineas W. Hitchcock introduced the bill. "The Tree Planters' State” became Nebraska's official state name some twenty-two years later.

Feeling both bored and nostalgic this morning thus I rewatched the title game from December and was once again struck at Coach Sheffields reaction as he watched the team celebrate their achievement on court. This upcoming season will be Coach Sheffields 10th season with our Badgers. We are fortunate to have him and his entire staff. Found, watched, and thought I would share his introduction to Wisconsin. I notice the basketball hoop there behind him. I don't know that that happens very often these days. :-)

Fourth grade Nebraska history class a fellow student, Loretta H did her presentation on the origins of the “tree planters’” nickname. Good ol’ Miss Huggenberger’s class. The Tree Planters’ state, well, it’s much better than the “bugeaters” isn’t it?

Looks like Wrobel is in Madison. She was out on Lake Mendota with Reed, Hammy and Crawford today. Beautiful day for it. LOL Yesterday was. Today, not so much. Unless you have an iron stomach and a lot of experience on water.

Feeling blessed. Go Badgers! I always enjoy seeing Coach Sheffield's comments. Intelligent, thoughtful, articulate and sees the big picture.

He definitely studied up on what Barry thought about UW and it’s football program (notably the “sleeping giant” comment). Now if only FB could get their %*$# together and win a national title. 🤣

Here's what Johnny Davis' success led him to after 2 years of college: "Davis was recently selected 10th overall in the first round of the 2022 NBA Draft by the Washington Wizards."
Here's what Dana Rettke's success led her to after 5 years of college:
I find it pathetic in 2022 that UW Athletics still can't figure out how to give a female athlete her due...and mention subsequent professional play, VNL, USA Women's National team, etc.
Over here celebrating Title IX and...sorry...just had to get that off my chest.

When you start looking for the biases that still exist against women sports, you start seeing them everywhere.
Have come a long way, but still have a long way to go.

Jeez, c'mon. There is more in the article - such as it is - on Dana than there is on Davis. More text, more lines, more stats given, etc. It isn't enough of an article regarding either of them, but it is 'slight' with regard to both. And nowhere near worth getting upset about. (And if there is a slight of Dana in there, then it was Diane Nordstrom making the slight; she wrote the article.)

Cool...we'll just agree to disagree.

Great article highlighting our recently committed setter Charlie Fuehrbringer. Wisconsin Badger culture and national exposure making a big difference.
A few highlights
Wisconsin caught Charlies eye especially during championship game, really impressed with their team chemistry.
Chose Wisconsin over UCLA and USC
Her high school coach compares her as a female version of Micah Christenson, the U.S. Men’s Olympic team setter.
