------------------------------

Watching the Brewers at Cubs.  For those who aren't aware, the Ice Bucket Challenge has been going viral as a way to raise awareness for ALS.  A challenged person has 24 hours to be videotaped with a bucket of ice water being poured over his or her head.  Those who complete the challenge can issue it to three more.


Brewers field reporter and MU alum Sophia Minnaert completed the challenge earlier today at Wrigley, and after they showed the clip she issued her challenges, one of which was Wojo.  Coach has 24 hours to accept the challenge!


The challenge entered the Brewers/Wisconsin area through former Brewers prospect/Bachelorette winner Josh Murray, who challenged Braun.  Braun challenged teammates Gomez, Lohse, and Lucroy.  Gomez challenged Minnaert; Lucroy challenged Aaron Rodgers, who also completed the challenge today.

I guess it's a good cause and all, but man... I find it stupid. Have seen a few videos and they all suck. At least puke or something.

+1000- millions already had "awareness" of ALS before our society had to dream up another vapid, cheap symbolic gesture that's going to do little or nothing to help the poor people afflicted with this terrible disease. But hey, whatever keeps the attention and spotlight coming your way.

Well expect for a massive increase in donations.

Speaking of vapid, nothing screams vapid more than a Bachelor/Bachelorette contestant.  Way to go Josh.

All right, great, I'm man enough to admit when I'm wrong. It's obviously done quite a bit of good.

I still maintain it's mostly a bunch of people that crave attention, something not in short supply today in our world.

So, where's the best place for Wojo to do this to get a nice video clip?  Maybe in front of the Al statue in the Al with his hands raised?  Or maybe in front of a limo in Henry Ellenson's front yard at midnight?

In front of Bert's house in the Quon?

I don't care where he does it.  However I care deeply about where the Fox Sports Wisconsin girls do.

I'm on your side. Seems cheap. But, yes, I guess I'm being too cynical. Still, it seems most people just pass it off to someone else instead of donating the $100 so I don't get it.

Some individuals like to be on camera giggling & showing off. Fine to have fun; just not sure there's much correlation to b/w the supposed "goal" of the "campaign" and what most people are doing.

Chug milk til you puke or shuttup, I say!

Just a feel-good thing although I don't know why. Doesn't accomplish anything.

It brings laughs, attention, and discussion.   There are worse things in life.

Anyone have any clue where someone might find the video of Sophia?  Purely to raise awareness.









Awareness is what I named my junk

Not to complain, Coach, but I didn't see a whole lot of ice cubes in there. I just see water.
