Fifty years ago, the Edmund Fitzgerald sank on Lake Superior, killing all 29 crew members. Here in Wisconsin, many have personal connections to the ship or may even know someone who died, including someone in our WKOW extended family. wkow.com/news/fifty-years-la…

He was teammates w/Warren Spahn, who debuted in 1941 for the Boston Braves. He called a Jackson Chourio triple in the 9th tonight. Chourio may play until 2041. 100 years of baseball & he’s the common link. A privilege to be able to call him my friend & partner. #UeckerForever

Brewers are 14-6. 2nd best record in the NL. 10-2 on the road. 2nd best offense in baseball. Top 10 pitching staff. Pat Murphy has the Brewers absolutely rolling out of the gate.

A special moment made even more classic by having Bob Uecker call the shot! Thanks for sharing, @MattLepay !
We might have a little snow, but this is the soundtrack of spring and summer. Young fella goes yard. The 🐐calls it. Brings a smile to all of us, right?

The #Badgers, who are staying in lower Manhattan, are stuck in traffic en route to Brooklyn for their media availability/open practice. Greg Gard has experience in this type of situation after growing up in Cobb.

So glad we have Twitter hoops Xs & Os. So much goes into the game that isn’t just “get buckets”. Most possessions are won by execution and proper spacing.

Turn on CBS if you want to watch former Pewaukee standout Jack Gohlke lighting up Kentucky right now. (Yes, I know. Gard didn't get him and it doesn't matter that you've never heard of him before right now or that he started at the D2 level).

Golf Channel just opened its coverage with Brad Faxon sharing a story/dig about the current state of pro golf: “My rookie year, I played with Arnold [Palmer] at the Players. My final round, it was such a thrill to get paired with him, to get called out on the 1st tee with him. "Walking off the 1st green, he said to me, ‘Do you want to have a long career out here, son?’ He put his arm around me. I said ‘Yes, sir.’ He goes, ‘Then you look people in the eye when you walk off the tee. You look them right in the eye.’ I’ll never forget that. He goes, ‘They’re the reason why you have a job.’ Boy could we use that now.”

Best part of naming anything after a great person. It won't be long when people will not know who he was...so they will ask? Who was Howard Moore?...and it will give all the people who are asked...a chance to speak about his greatness AND that will go on forever. FOREVER. As it should be.
Howard Moore represents everything we are and aspire to be as Badgers His impact is deep, and his legacy will be attached to this program forever We are honored to have him permanently represented with the official renaming of the “Howard Moore Family Men’s Basketball Offices”
