Default The pollen monster

My black coupe has gotten a new yellow paint job for free recently. Dang this pollen! How is everyone holding up so far through Pollen Season 2016? I need some wax! I've washed it off every day this week :0

I'll trade you. You can have our 7-10" of snow this Wednesday into Thursday, for your pollen.

First, Black is the worst color to keep clean. But you now know that, don't you?


Secondly, at the end of the day, if your Crossfire still has pollen on it,


...YOU ARE NOT DRIVING IT FAST ENOUGH!.

Madison has such a great atmosphere year round. I'm about 45 minutes east. Love watching and attending Badger football, and basketball! Hopefully our boys can pull off another win against Notre Dame Friday evening!

Oh, I'll be watching. And, having said that, they are now cursed!
I'm living in Auburn, Alabama these last 13 years. My lab is right next to Jordan-Hare stadium.

It ain't the same. By far.

I've been to 2 games here, and it seems very...regimented. You're expected to cheer and chant on command (I'm serious!), and if you don't know the chants and cheers by rote, you are looked upon with suspicion. Weird.

I used to go to every Badger football game I could afford and had season tickets to men's hockey.

Yeah, I guess I really DO miss it!

Just not the same as the Badgers 4th quarter "jump Around" with almost 100k fans at Camp Randall. Something that everyone should experience.

G.,

if it weren't for really great people like you and Suzie, I'd be gone!

And just what, in the Name of God, does Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar (pause) Eagle mean?

It sounds like everyone is trying to remember the second part!

LOL

Just kidding, buddy. If AU admin sees this-I'm toast!

Allergy pill every day. Luckily my Crossfire sits in the garage, so it just gets dust. My other car is a 03 Golf GTI 20th aniv in Imola Yellow. So the pollen doesn't show up

That "tradition" started after I headed south. But it sure looks like a great time.

I think it's a bit funny that so many other schools are starting to do the same (but just...different) thing.
