Erik - welcome to the land of the muggles. Good luck winning the mug and if you have any questions about solving these or our "in" jokes, please feel free to askErikThor wrote: Thu Sep 26, 2019 6:39 pm Brand new here but I have been reading your forum for about two weeks. I believe I got this one and can say that I am safely ashore.
The Badgers have both of their starting safeties suspended for the first half, so I would think NU will come out throwing early and often.Julie O wrote: Thu Sep 26, 2019 6:10 pmAs a tortured NU fan, I can't see any reason why they wouldn't, even if they do come out flat. I'm expecting something similar to the 2010 70-23 result. At least I'll be watching from home this weekend, and not at Camp Randall, no matter how awesome of a place Madison is on game day.oldjudge wrote: Thu Sep 26, 2019 5:45 pm I hope my Badgers can keep up their winning ways on Saturday.

That might help keep it interesting for the first half, but it'll take a lot more than 2 of the starting defensive players to be out to salvage the 128th ranked (pts/g) FBS offense.oldjudge wrote: Thu Sep 26, 2019 7:16 pm

My son marches in his high school marching band, and sometimes the highlight of the game is when the score differential is 40+ and it becomes a running clock.Jim and Anita wrote: Thu Sep 26, 2019 6:24 pm
He he... Jim and I recall cheering "go clock" when we attended NU games in our college days.
Our daughter is BS (Tepper) '12 so nice to see it as well!Eric Porter wrote: Thu Sep 26, 2019 5:00 pm Ashore! Nice of Matt Gaffney to use my alma mater in 10A.
I started doing these Crossword Contests in January of this year. At first I only got the solution sometimes. Starting with the first one in April, I haven't been lost at sea. As this is the final puzzle of September, it makes 6 months in a row. I'm considering subscribing to MGWCC or trying PGWCC for more of a challenge.
No solution yet ... but I'll proudly share my 10A love on behalf of my son, a 2014 School of Drama grad. Now, back to this pesky meta!MarkL wrote: Thu Sep 26, 2019 7:59 pmOur daughter is BS (Tepper) '12 so nice to see it as well!Eric Porter wrote: Thu Sep 26, 2019 5:00 pm Ashore!
