Only in Wisconsin

Hortonville High School ... are they the Whos?

 

In my short drive home every night, I have to be sure to be really alert, even if it means downing a Coke a half-hour before I'm done. I see deer cross the road two or three times a week. On the other route, I pass by several bars, so I'll take my chances with the deer.

 

When I did TV sports - in Wisconsin, no less - I once said in the newsroom, "the only time I'll run sound (interviews) from a cross country race is if the winner is hit by a wild boar while on the course."

DARN! Wish I had sound here...

 

Deer are routine in our neighborhood. They sleep on the lawn and routinely run the road. Had two this morning joining me on an early morning run; I was too slow to worry about being hit.

If you're interested, there were more than 16,000 deer-car crashes in Wisconsin last year.

 

So in what place did the deer finish?

 

It won, but was DQ'd because it didn't have a timing chip

 

That's nothing.

Had a runner here, who's last name was Buck, get hit by a deer during the region cross country meet two years ago. Girl and deer were both OK. The deer just got up and scampered back into the woods, and the girl finished in the top 15.

 

We should just turn this into a running thread:

Typical liberal.

 

I don't have antlers.

 

Doesn't see the big deal.

 

This is great because my buddy got hit by a bus while leading a cross country race in a county park. He did a little barrel roll and continued on. Of course, second place (another buddy of mine) has never heard the end of it. Losing a race to a guy who got hit by a bus.
