Bobo,
You sneaky rascal. All this time we thought your fellas were in seclusion but come to find out they were being honored at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Video evidence attached.

They were actually in seclusion as a protest over global warming.  When part of their native land falls into the sea, they get slightly perturbed.  As you must already know, stealth, being an A-lister yourself, we never announce the penquins appearance schedule, for security reasons - so not sneaky at all.  I'll let you in on a little secret, though.  We always travel with a dummy set of penquins, which we send in first wherever we are - just to throw off the paparazzi. It seems to work.

To funny. +k for the wit.

Re: the SL Rams holding training camp in Wisconsin at one of the UW schools...

Looks like La Crosse (most desired) is out (facility issue), Whitewater is out (facility issue), Oshkosh is possible in, Stevens Point is possible in, or Madison is possible in according to new intelligence from the WSJ.  The Rams are very interested in holding joint practices with the Packers.  Final decision to hold camp in WI could come in about 7-10 days according to Rams HC Linehan.

[Mr. Downtown]

Oshkosh also plans to have construction going during the summer to start (finally...) Phase II of the Oshkosh Sports Complex. With that being said, if they are hoping to have joint practices with the Packers, Oshkosh would make a lot of sense.

For obvious reasons, I'm rooting for Oshkosh to get the bid (Stop the Press!!! ). One big reason why is that the money generate for the cities that have NFL team's come up for training camp. I think having this chance to get the bid from St. Louis will make the vision of the Oshkosh Sports Complex a reality. Unfortunately, if they don't, I do not hold out much hope for the rest of the project to be completed this decade.

Just wondering if the game against Ohio Dominican will be @ The Horseshoe? 

Also, know that the topic is going to come around again about nobody wants to play the WIAC, I think each WIAC school should chip in a couple bucks to help Finlandia start a football program. That way, no one in the WIAC would be hurting then completing a 10 game schedule

In addition to Oshkosh and Stevens Point, who they'll visit next week, the Ram are considering Madison and the Bishop O'Conner Catholic Center a facility used by the BADGERS prior to 2004.   One of Linehan's assistants is ex-BADGER qb coach Jeff Horton who coached when the BADGERS practiced there.

Just have Superior take their skirt off and play football again  (yes Superior played football up until 1991)  then there would be no problems

[badgerwarhawk]

One of the requirements of being a member of the WIAC was that you had to field a football team.  However that was waived when Superior was no longer able to do that.   If I remember correctly it was a matter of numbers and they were down to something like 35 players when they pulled the plug before somebody was killed.

Tough news out of UW-Stout today. Three students die in an off-campus house fire.

Stout Website

Certainly tough to deal with. Prayers and toughts are with the UW-Stout community!

[footballfan413]

How very, very sad.  My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims families, the University and the entire community. 

[Kilted Rat]

Horrible news out of Stout.
Thoughts and prayers to the WIAC family. 

[coco]

My condolences to the WIAC and especially those from Stout. The loss of young lives is such a tragedy.

[badgerwarhawk]

Yes, very tragic news.  No parent sends their children off to college expecting anything like this.
