Tailgaters brought Floyd back, but oh, for a fighting chance against the friggin Badgers.

We don't need no... heart attacks, but we almost had them at the HH Dome last weekend!

We also had a great time -- WORD to the Bricker and Malla, Rollerballer and Phoeberella for fun times and good wines! (I already picked up the Bogle 02 old vines zin for myself and a Chicago shindig.)

Anyway, back to the Hawkeyes, whose dumb luck won the game against the Gopher-munks. Yow-za! Watching that game was an exhausting, heart-pumping workout. Plus, it made my brain hurt.

Which brings me to my fear. The Hawks are gonna need to have claws and beaks sharp to get this one done right. It's going to be dark when the game ends... how dark is anybody's guess. Only time, tailgating and the team can tell! So drink beer and Go Hawks!
