You know you're wearing your Badger red heart on your sleeve when even other bloggers comment on your pain.

Yesterday, our Badgers got stomped. I was never dreaming of a national championship, I just wanted them to go undefeated and win the Rose Bowl again. But, even so, I feel the sense of loss that our liberal brothers and sisters did on November 3rd. While they make themselves feel better by putting down the folks who voted for Bush, I'll try to make our Badger readers feel better with some good news for Wisconsin sports fans:

• The Badgers can still go to the Rose Bowl. If Ohio State beats Michigan, then the winner of the Wisconsin-Iowa game goes to the Rose Bowl. Isn't there a sense that all's right with the world if folks from Wisconsin and Iowa can join hands together and become one in the common cause of rooting against Michigan?
• The Badger hockey team just completed a sweep of our archrival North Dakota. And, the Friday night game even featured some rare college hockey fighting. Sweet!
• The Packers are on a roll and get to face the hated Vikings today without the hated Randy Moss. If they win, they'll have the division lead. And that's after having suffered through a four game losing streak.
• College basketball season is just starting and the Badgers will start the season in the top 25, even without Devin Harris.
• For sportsmen and women of a different sort, deer gun season starts Nov. 20.
• And, upon further review, the Bears still suck
