Did you know…?

Badgers and Wolverines are cousins!

The Mustelidae (from the Latin mustela, meaning weasel) are a family of carnivorous mammals that includes weasels, badgers, otters, ferrets, martens, minks and wolverines. Being one of the most species-rich families in the order Carnivora, the family Mustelidae also is one of the oldest - Mustelid-like forms first appeared about 40 million years ago.

The wolverine's species name is Gulo gulo, from the Latin word meaning "glutton." Primarily a scavenger, the wolverine has a reputation for ferocity and strength out of proportion to its size, with the documented ability to kill prey many times larger than itself.



The American badger's species name is Taxidea taxus, derived from the Proto-Indo-European word tek, "to construct" - so the badger would have been named after its digging of setts (tunnels). Although smaller in size than the wolverine, the badger is more agile in digging, swimming, and climbing. Thus, it is well equipped for hunting underground, aboveground, on trees, and in water.

Just another Sunday on national TV going up against the NFL for these two.

Well I hope the Badgers stop making so many errors in time for Sunday, as the Wolverines did indeed look like they could kill prey many times larger than themselves in this last match.

Go Blue!

rooting for Michigan to pull off the upset

[pull3]

I pick either team in 4 this match.

Michigan won at the Fieldhouse in 2018, 3-1. We may have blotted it out.

Did I mess that up? I thought I copied it from the record book. Let me double check.

ETA: I *did* screw it up. Fixed!

Carly Skjodt from the back row on match point!

[rainbowbadger]

Yeah, yeah, rub it in.

2018 was a hard year for me.

and this was in 4 sets after losing 5 set heartbreaker in AA earlier.... 

maybe the tables have turned and Michigan has something up it's sleeve. However their home B1G schedule has been brutal to start
v. Ohio State
v. Minnesota 
v. Nebraska

I believe that the clinical term is repression

Bumping this since we’re about 25 hrs from first serve. Wisco wants to keep rolling. Blue will be looking for redemption here after a loss to Indiana.
