A big game 11/10
No it’s not Wisconsin at Iowa nor Ohio State at Michigan but Minocqua Lakeland at Waupaca.

I mean folks this is big, bigger than the Irish at the Trojans. This is real football. There aren’t any high paid players with egos out to here. No sir, just underpaid students with acne trying to pass Driver’s Ed. The winner heads off to Madison to play for the state championship game (division 12)

The last time Lakeland made it this far was my son’s senior year. They played the big farm kids from Antigo. I drove down to the game and was 5 minutes late. It was on the first play a kick off that he was knocked silly and out of the game and so we were the under-manned T-Birds. Not this year. This is the year we kick butt instead.

I can think of nothing better than sitting out on a Friday eve watching things develop. Like one big huge snow storm that hitting the Midwest. The weatherman has a front coming in with 6 to 8" of wet snow due prior to kick off.

So hats off to our T-Birds who last hoisted the champ trophy high in 1983.
I even have in my mind to find my old snowmobile and drive down to watch the game in person So it’s a coin toss whether I’ll be there physical or in spirit, then again there’s the radio.

I rented a n old movie, " Call of the Wild". It's about a big old dog that's turns sled dog. How about training you doggie to haul theFood cart from the Save- More?
