I feel like I'm pretty happy with a 6 seed. We did lose 9 games. I
think our tournament run, the two wins over eventual #4 seed Notre Dame
and the win over #3 seed Wisconsin were huge marks on our tournament
resume. When I saw Notre Dame's seed, I was frankly afraid that meant
an 8 or 9 seed for MU. The 5 seed is like the kiss of death in this
tournament recently, so I'll take the 6 seed matchup against Kentucky.
Looking
ahead - it could be an interesting ride for MU. A possible second round
matchup against Stanford. If they get past that, a possible matchup
with Texas. If the right MU team shows up, I don't automatically take
Texas in that game. Plus, how do we work the theory that MU beat
Wisconsin, who beat Texas? UW's win over Texas and MU's win over UW
were very early in the season, so we're looking at very different teams
at this point in the season.

It can't touch Harry Potter for scope of popularity but in some pockets of pop culture, the Twilight series has reached Beatlemania in intensity. The "young adult" novels about a handsome teenage vampire boy and the mortal girl who loves him have sold 17
No, we didn't ask for an album featuring another recording of "Breathe," leading into "Time," leading into "Breathe (Reprise)," as happens on tracks two through four on Live in Gdansk. But Pink Floyd completists (we are legion) will want it anyway. Howeve
Jorge "El Guero" Hernandez may be the best-known regional Mexican artist with Milwaukee roots. Most of a decade has passed since he and brother Rogelio moved to San Antonio, but El Guero's Banda Centenario still nurtures a unique take on the often-manic D
The last decade has not been kind to Milwaukee’s German restaurants, as names like Ritter’s Inn, the Bavarian Wurst Haus and even the venerable John Ernst have all closed their doors. In fact, only two of the old-timers remain: the oldest, Mad
If you’re not from Waukesha, you’ll want to check MapQuest for directions, but it’s worth the ride. The Rochester Deli (143 E. Broadway, 262-522-9611), wedged within the labyrinth of downtown Waukesha across from the Freeman offices, is
