Wisconsin Sports

Now is not a bad time to be a Wisconsin sports fan. There is reason to be optimistic and reason to be hopeful. Let's think about this...

Brewers - The Brewers are in the middle of a heated race for the National League Central Division crown. They aren't getting in as the wild card, so they have to win. As of today, they are only 0.5 games out of first place. They can do it, but they need to win a lot of games. Here's to hoping.

Packers - The Packers got lucky last Sunday. They easily could have lost. They have no running game and Favre is not the QB that he once was. The defense is great, but that won't carry them through the season. They have the potential to go between 7-9 and 9-7. They won't be a laughing stock this season. Perhaps they can surprise some people.

Badgers - They are 2-0 although they are barely eeked out a victory against UNLV. With Michigan being 0-2 the Badgers have a chance to make their mark this year. Technically Michigan could still win Big Ten, but they don't look good. if the Badgers can beat Ohio State and win their other games (definitely possible) they could go to the BCS. That would be sweet.

Bucks - This one is going to be interesting. There is a lot of talent on this team. With the additions of Desmond Mason and Yi Jianlian, the Bucks only have so many minutes to dole out to a lot of players. If this team can stay healthy, they can definitely be a playoff team. But, they need to be healthy.

The next few months will provide some real sports excitement. I may blog about it as it becomes important. Go Wisconsin sports!
