"On the defensive end, it finally started to click," said #Badgers head coach Greg Gard. "We finally started to put some things together like we have been talking about and we had shown in flashes, but not consistently over a stretch of time."

I found it at the Willy Street Co-op on the north side of Madison, but I think you’d probably be able to find it at the Woodman’s in Sun Prairie. Got a variety pack that also has a Pilsner and two other lagers.

Alright, let’s see what this app is about

Still going to be dropping Badgers stuff here, but going to make this account more free flowing and talk about some other things like the Bucks, Packers, music, movies, etc

It’s been nice to scroll the TL without seeing something that pisses me off so far
