SCS Swap - In The Forest

Hello ~ Hello


Thanks for stopping by! My card for today is for Jeanette's Forest Swap on SCS. The theme for this Forest (as there always is one) is "Who's In The Forest?". We were to create a card (actually 6 of the them that says something about you. My choice was easy, as i am a huge sports fan! I chose to use adorable basketball Riley, as he has not been seeing any ink yet (Forgotten Stamp Friday Challenge) and I am trying to get a season Basketball ticket for the Wisconsin Badgers this fall (fingers crossed on that one!). I really don't follow the NBA much, but I love college basketball! 


Have a wonderful day!

It wasn't pretty but...

The #11  ranked Badgers beat Michigan tonight to move to 6-0 in the Big Ten Conference, and 16-2 overall...

The game recap can be found at ESPN.com\ (I'm actually at a loss for words after this one, not much to write about except the fact they won)

Hey, we have ONE basketball team in the state that can win on a consistent basis...

Looking forward to this weekend, as I have TWO Badger Hockey games on Saturday to go to! 

Have a good night! More stamping tomorrow...

Bucky Goes to 4-0!

Evening everyone, 

Happy to report, the Badgers won @ Penn State 80-55 last night. It was a good game to listen to that's for sure (would have been more fun to watch, hello Charter Communications are you reading this???). Michael Flowers (left) set a career high in points (23). 

The only downer on this game was that Penn State's best player went down for the season with a MCL Injury (Claxton). Claxton was their leading rebounder, and for the most part their best player. I'm not sure if it helped Wisconsin that he was out just 7 minutes into the game, but you never want to see any player get hurt, even if it's on the opposing team. (well, ok I can make 1 or 2 exceptions - TO would be one of them!) 

Tomorrow night I will have another card to post...I Just got my SAB pre-order today (as a SU Demo I can pre-order the month before SAB sets are available to customers). I ended up getting So Many Scallops and the Rub-Ons. So tomorrow (and this weekend) I'll show off a few cards/projects using that stuff! Have a great night! 

BUCKY BASKETBALL ON THE ROAD

Another Monday has come and gone. So which brings us to what is going on tomorrow night...you got it, mens badger hoops! They'll be going for win #14 on the season at Penn State. Today Coach Bo Ryan addressed the media (as Badger Coaches do normally during the season).  You can find some of his comments at www.UWBadgers.com I always am a little cautious watching any Big Ten team try to win on the road. It's tough to win on the road anyways, but the Big Ten plays those grinding games, where teams like to use the entire shot clock (I'm a supporter of the NBA and College using the same shot clock - which doesn't happen now but I think it should change - and I am probably in the minority). Look, if the NBA wants to push the ball up and down the floor, they can do it just as much with a 35-second shot clock as they can a 25 second shot clock. I also don't understand why the NBA plays quarters and college plays halves (It's not that way in football, baseball, hockey or any other college sport that has a pro-sport parallel). Just my two cents. I am sure the "powers that be" are reading this with much interest! 

Once again, (and this will be for the rest of the season for the Badgers) the key is to get Brian Butch involved inside. I really think the offense gets going when you have an inside player, especially in the Big Ten that can get in the paint and have success. It would also be nice to see Trevon Hughes play the way he did in the Illinois game next week. 

The game starts at 8pm and of course, it's a BigTenNetwork game, which means I will be listing to Matt Lepay and Mike Lucas on the radio (which is the way Badger Basketball should be listened to by the way!) Have a super night...
