    I've seen it elsewhere (don't hold me to exactly where) and it makes me cringe every time. Although I enjoy my annual day of watching state tournament basketball, most WIAA visitors to Madison bug me. Psst: You don't own the city.

    My first library job was being a student page in a small public library. I started working during the initial heyday of D&D and still remember the thick stack of reserve slips that seemed to accompany every Gary Gygax book. (Same with crappy Michael Jackson quickie biographies, but that's another story for another day.) RIP.

    Oh, man, if you guys are almost like fraternity brothers, I shudder to think what that makes me. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    You have to admit, that strategy worked out for Ryan.

    Clearly he's not as tough as Uecker and JP.

    Well, they didn't have 40,000 at last year's fan fest. The press release Jamie quoted earlier in this thread says nearly 40,000 fans have attended over the three seasons that the On Deck event has been at Miller Park. That's probably what led the Brewers to estimate that the field and loge levels will be enough to hold the fan fest and exhibition game audiences; and I imagine they might prefer to not have to pay a full (four-level) contingent of ushers/ballpark staff for the day. I agree with 1992casey - if demand is great enough, they may open up more seating.

    Maybe they wanted to avoid the inevitable endless speculation on what "undisclosed injury" really means.

    While waiting for our ticket rep to call back this morning, I was checking out the ticketing page on the Brewers website for the 3/29 game. It looks like they are only selling Field and Loge level seats for that one too. I think this was their practice the last time they had exhibition games. We scored three seats in 114, row 9, for the 29th. I'm hoping to persuade my mother to join us. Now I have even more incentive to shake this cold!

    Not to sound overly grumbly, but I wish they'd mentioned a little sooner that the On Deck thing was Saturday (not Sunday) and that going to the On Deck thing requires a 3/29 game ticket - otherwise we would have ordered last week during the season ticket holders' window of opportunity.

    Yeah, I enjoy both Cinderella efforts and small school success. For years I've made it a habit to take the Friday of the girls' tournament off and watch the D-4 and D-2 semifinals all day. I like seeing small towns turn out for their team (with the obligatory "Last one in town turn out the lights" signage). However, I'm reluctantly boycotting the girls' tournament until they're done playing at the second-rate Coliseum, so it's the boys this year for me. So this year I have the extra fun of watching my school (Monroe) compete. The Cheesemakers won it all in D-2 last year and both the State Journal and Cap Times prep writers picked them to repeat. They had a bit of adversity a couple of weeks ago when one of their seniors fractured his leg, but it must be a hairline fracture, because he's been playing with a big brace. They are coached by one of Bo Ryan's Plattevillle players. Monroe was bad at all the high-profile sports when I was in high school. At that time their most recent football trophy was from the 1920s (they were then good from 1986 throughout the 1990s) and until last year, their lone boys' basketball claim to fame was the undefeated season of 1964-65 - so it still seems novel to me when they succeed in basketball or football now.

    Who's following what team(s) in the WIAA basketball tournaments? If I read the boys' D-2 bracket correctly, the late afternoon semifinal on Friday 3/7 features Monroe and New Berlin Eisenhower. Burniebrewer, I'll be checking to see how long it takes you to post. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif I was rooting for Benton in D-4, as my brother used to teach there and their tiny school (enrollment 86) has never gone to state in any sport - but they ran into Randolph and the Rockets will be in Madison for the zillionth time (give or take an appearance).

    I believe the bag restrictions are similar to those at Miller Park. They have searchers at the gates like at MP. In general, I wouldn't try to bring in a bag/pack that would get you turned away at MP.

    Would I invite fisticuffs if I said Harry Potter?

    The chat is functioning...just saying. As Bob might say, 'still room for you, folks.'

    Yeah, I'm only calling it "Sportsboobler" from here on out.

    So, in a few hours (when it's March 1), it'll be time?

    There's an awful lot that I think is overrated - or more specifically, that tons of people like, but I just don't get it. I was going to start with American Idol, but jazzytrav's general comment on reality TV helps take care of that, and then some.

    Borseth had a nice run at my former employer, UW-Green Bay. I wouldn't mind seeing him in cardinal and white someday.

    Can anyone paraphrase BA's mention of the site?

    I'm starting to realize how nice it would be to be headed back to Arizona this spring.

    George Webb continues to promise free hamburgers when the Brewers win 12 games in a row. That came true on Easter Sunday, April 19, 1987, and George Webb kept its promise. On April 22 of that year, the restaurant chain served 168,194 hamburgers. If this happens again, I'm getting a burger and freezing it for posterity. I heard some people did that with their '87 burgers.
