Badgers Rebound

Ok, Bucky came out firing against Penn State last night, quickly answering my question about how they would respond by jumping out to a 40-18 half time lead enroute to a 29 point victory. Case closed...

Anyone have DirecTV or thinking about getting it? Just read some interesting news. Starting March 1st, DirecTV will start leasing their receivers, much the same way cable companies do. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing. Current customers won't have to pay leases on receivers they already own, so that's good. They will be a little cheaper than buying but you'll have to pay $4.99 per month to lease so in the long run do you save? Probably not. But, maybe you can upgrade more easily and you won't have to worry about it breaking down. You may, however, get a used box... that's not cool. Anywho... should be interesting to watch.

Bowling went horribly last night for all of us, except gerks who managed his career best with a 595 (just missed the 600 needing a 175 3rd game, I know he's broken up about it). We got smoked all 3 games, in large part to one guy shooting a 737. We bring out the best in our opponents. I still say we need to be meaner, distracting, whatever... I struggled with my wrist in the 3rd game and shot a paltry 155 with 4 splits to only shoot 586. Just didn't have the strength to throw it hard enough when the oil went away. Oh, and I got a blunder for bowling out of turn. For some reason I went up early in the 2nd frame of the first game and threw a strike to go with my strike in the first, yay... oops, not my turn. Ok, I get a 9 instead and miss the spare then open the next frame and finally spare in the 4th before throwing 7 in a row for a 235. This will drop us out of first place for sure...

On the basement front, the drywall installation is still continuing, should probably be done today or early tomorrow. I posted some pictures from last night.

Yeah, I had a productive night but failed to pick up enough spares in the third game for the 600. Oh well, I did raise my average 3 pins after this week. I think I figured some things out in my approach, but I'm sure I'll forget it when I bowl again in two weeks.

Are you saying you'd like to bowl again next week? And every week after that? It can be arranged.
