Two blogs in three days...are you feeling alright

Yeah I'm feeling just fine. I had some random free time on a Sunday morning to crank one of these out. So a recap of the weekend rolls like this

Ripon 42 vs. Winneconne 6 - Well the first half was enjoyable. While down on the sideline I thought the coaches of the Wolves were just happy that it wasn't worse. A well played game from the Tigers as they get set for the Homecoming matchup with WLA.

• Random sidenote: Ahh yes homecoming. The fun and games of homecoming. Decorating halls, different dress up days, getting ready for the dance, float building, a big Friday morning breakfast, the parade, tailgate party, and game Friday night. More importantly the TP, pumpkin smashing, staying out all night Thursday night getting in a 5:45am and then trying to go to school the next day, that is what I remember about Homecoming. I plead the 5th on TP'ing the High School and 5 heads of lettuce and a three man slingshot.

RC 31 IC 21 - Nice job by the Red Hawks by moving to 3-0 in the MWC. Defense has been huge for Ron Ernst and his players. A lot of interceptions for scores. I think a lot of people after the RC vs. UWO game were like oh boy this could be a long season, but they have turned it around nicely

Wisconsin/Michigan: Tough one for bucky but a poor offensive performance is the reason why. 54 yards rushing. OUCH.

Packers/Lions: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Conference Season Finally Starts

Well it is about time the conference season started for the Ripon Tigers. Don't get me wrong we saw some great games and some tough teams in the non-conference but it is nice to get into the meat of the season. Clintonville, Medford, Sheboygan Falls find me another team in the state with a non-conference schedule like that. The Tigers should have no problem with the conference opponents except for Waupun. Let me tell you the Ripon vs. Medford games probably one of the most enjoyable games I have watched in years. Every kid on both teams was teeing off and trying to knock the snot out of the other player. I saw guys like Peter Schroeder and Noah Schnell-Harrison absolutely annihilate some guys on the field. That's good football.

Cross Country Note: As you can probably guess I am not much of a runner, I know hard to believe but when a kid comes in like Jake Tsaducakis (Sock A Dock Iss yeah exactly) for the Ripon Tigers even fat guys like me start to notice. The kid won the KJG Invite and placed fourth in the Oshkosh North Invite and HE'S A FRESHMAN. Unreal. Coach Chris Gatzke does a fantastic job with the CC team and they are always a contender.

Ripon College Football has surprised me so far this year, I know last year was a struggle but the defense this year is killa. Jotham Darrin has had a season in two games and the Kraemer kid was player of the week. Kudos to Ernst and his boys for righting the ship and get it going. Just to clarify also WRPN did not do a story on Ripon College looking to build their own football stadium. The rumor bed has been settled.

We should thank a guy like John Casper for the work he does for high school sports in the area. John is the sports editor at the FDL Reporter and a regular part of our broadcasts on AM 1600 WRPN. He works his tale off getting everything and still has time to do some radio and TV interviews, and keep up a killer blog. I love the You Tube vids.

Well at least something passed

Real quick I am very happy parts 1 and 3 of the vote passed in Ripon. Not really happy that part 2 failed but that is what the people want. I will save my rant for some other day.

Rock on! \m/

Mauston & Medford

Greetings blogamaniacs. Hope it's going well. Haven't had a chance to write a little about the Ripon Sheboygan Falls game so here we go. Jacob Juedes is a STUD. The kid gets it done. SF seems to be running a little variation of the Ripon offense with a few tweaks in it. Therefore their defense knows the schemes and was able to read the Ripon offense very well. I wonder if David Soda will make an appearance in the Offense this week against Mauston or will we still see him only play defense until the regular season.

So we have a longer road trip to Mauston on Friday for a non-conference matchup and then Medford makes a longer haul from there to here. I am not quite sure yet were on stand on 4 non conference games then 6 conference games. Next year you get NO non conference games. Week 1 you are in the season, no chance to work out the kinks. I liked 2 noncon games and then go, I think it helps your team.

Ripon College took it on the chin on Saturday last week, we will see if the Red Hawks can rebound to take on Lake Forest Saturday at Ingall's Field. I always loved the trips to LF so it kinda stinks that it's home. Previous road trips have included me almost getting into a fight with the toll both worker at the Illinois State line for me being a Packer fan and we can't forget the excellent meals at a place called Flatlanders, or the old piece of crap pressbox that wouldn't hold the mayor. luke, and biggie all at the same time. I love driving through Lake Forest because when you pass the cars it goes like this: Benz, Beamer, Hummer, Jag, Cadillac, Lincoln, Lexus, Acura, Audi, and Saab. To quote Green Day "I'm the son of rage and loveThe Jesus of Suburbia From the bible of "none of the above" On a steady diet of soda-pop and Ritalin No one ever died for my sins in hell As far as I can tellAt least the ones I got away with" I LOVE THE BURBS!

Other than that not much going on, had my Ripon Fantasy Football Draft and I think I did ok. I got the number one pick in the draft and of course I took LJ from the Chiefs. It should be a lot of fun kicking all these other teams asses. Just kidding!

That's all I got this week except for my music picks of the week. Here is what I am jonesin on this week.

• Beyonce - Ring The Alarm
• Rick Ross - Push It
• Bowling For Soup - High School Never Ends

Until next time... Rock on! \m/
