Oshkosh Northwestern Chat

As I mentioned earlier this week, I have been asked to participate in a chat about the Brewers on my hometown newspaper's website. The chat will be at 3:00pm CT on Thursday, March 20. You can head on out to the forum now to post questions by clicking HERE.

One of the things I want to make very clear to those that may access this blog from the link on the Northwestern's website who may be thinking, "Who the heck is this guy and why is he any more knowledgeable about the Brewers than the next schmo?" Well, I have never and will never make the claim that I am any better or more knowledgeable than anyone else. I am just a big Brewers fan who grew up in the Milwaukee area attending games and following the team. I carried that passion up to Oshkosh when I arrived 10 years ago to attend UWO. I liked the city so much that I decided to settle down here.

I am not one of those bandwagon jumpers that have crawled out from under a rock to back the Brewers now that they are a good team again. I will being posting more personal stories, pictures, and videos of these events over the season, to prove that loyalty.

Many in the area have a hard time understanding my feelings about the Brewers... the only way I can explain it is that it is what I grew up with. Just like many of you are die hard Packers fans, I am that way with the Brewers. To me, the Packers take a back seat to the Brewers... which is hard for some to comprehend... but that is how I have always been.

So now that I have cleared all of that up... come on out and let's talk about the 2008 Brewers and what we can all expect from this years club!
