The Wisconsin Badgers football team is part of a public university system. All the teams they play are public as well. Why, then, are the Badgers being inundated with prayer? "Hail, Mary" to be exact. Two weeks in a row the other team pulled a Hail Mary play in the last few seconds beating the Badgers. Isn't there still separation of church and state?
Brewers lost the playoffs...so no World Series. Badgers have been prayed into the losing column - dropping their national rank. The Packers have won all of their games, but they had a bye yesterday. All last week there was only ONE question being asked around here. What are you going to do on Sunday afternoon?
I must say I enjoyed this past week's hail mary since I am a HUGE buckeye fan and we have had a our share of misery this year. It was my fault too, I was praying for something good after the Badgers shocked me by taking the lead with 1 minute left. The game helped take the bad taste out of my mouth from the Cardinals pulling their own hail mary and winning the world series. At least I don't have to look at Tony LaRussa anymore. On Sunday you can watch the surpising young Cincinnati Bengals play when the Packers are off, but you'll probably have to have the DirecTV Sunday ticket or a nearby bar that has it on.
