Day 1 of contrition thread:
The Axe stays in the Dairy State
Because the Badgers are so great.
The Badgers never had a doubt,
And won the contest in a rout.
Three quarters and the game was tied,
But in the 4th the Gophers died.
So Sledman dude, this is your song:
You were so right; I was so wrong.
Day 2:
Roses are red.
Badgers are too.
Maroon and Gold
Has turned to Blue.
Ouch - This is painful 
In more ways than one!!
How many days is this going to go on? Poor Rysdad…
I promised to do it for a week, but unless Sledman gets in here and acknowledges my pitiful poetry efforts pretty soon, I’m gonna consider his gloating rights forfeited. I mean, there’s no reason to subject the rest of you to my fractured rhymes.
dasa poor baby. awwwwww did the mean ol Badgers tromp down on your pathetic little gophers? That’s why they’re called go fers. Badgers are mean and vicious. Just check out the Simpsons tonight.
Even without the Great Dayne, they can still let the dogs out.
*oh my god, I did NOT just use that phrase. Someone please kill me now. Better yet, Rysdad, recite some more poetry. It’ll do the job. *
I hereby acknowledge the spoils of battle!
I think we may need a replica Axe for the future of this rivalry!
Ahh, the sweet taste fo success. No Roses but a nice Axe and the soothing poetry of Rysdad. Anyone need a beer while we sit back and listen. Come on Rysdad, you too. We need to drown the sorrows of a season that wasn’t.
::Awaiting today’s verse::
If you could put a little more love for Wisconsin in the next one.
You know…better tailgating, beer, cheese, cheeseheads… all that good stuff…
Rysdad: Poet Laureate of the Battle for the Axe
Ahhh, I can see your legend growing to some day rival that of Leaping Lanny Poffo.
Day 3: (I was hoping you’d say “Uncle!” but if I must, I must.)
Fair Wisconsin, Cheddarland,
Oh, cows and maidens fair!
Suds that flow and never stop,
And Cheeseheads everywhere.
Tailgate gigs at Lambeau Field,
Beer bellies on display,
By kickoff time the crowd is drunk,
On days the Packers play.
I like that one… 
I ain’t never seen no cheeseheads at UW football games.
Wait…one plus one plus one…ok, three negatives, it works.
Rysdad, if you could put something in about “Eat Shit” “Fuck you” into your next sonnet that would be kinda cool. Ah, memories…
Day 4: Deepest gloom
‘Twas late and wet and Farv did throw,
And somehow ol’ Antonio
Did catch it. How I do not know.
The Vikes have lost two in a row.
Damn, Rysdad, these actually aren’t all that bad! More, more!
Then you haven’t watched many Badger games.
Rysdad is performing his obligation admirably and as Gazoo said he is getting quite good at it!
As a matter of fact he is doing so good I shall refrain from any blatant taunting as a result of last night’s game.
Oh yeah and seriously…have a beer Rysdad… I know this must be leaving a terrible taste in your mouth.
Sledman, you rock.
{fondly remembers doing the chicken dance in the fifth quarter after downing a 12 pack of Sprecher}
[Homer Simpson]
Mmmmm…Sprecher.
[/Homer Simpson]
I feel your pain Rysdad.
I don’t know how much more I can watch.
P.S. Sledman, That was a fucking lucky catch.
Nah. It was a fucking lucky bounce. It was a fucking GREAT catch.
Besides, it’s about time we had the ball bounce our way this year. The Pack hasn’t exactly been swimming in great plays this season.
