After a nine-hour road trip on Sunday,

the Graduate Mutt Cutts van returned home to the Windy City straight off a wild weekend in Lincoln cheering on the Cornhuskers as they took on The Ohio State University.

The Buckeyes took home the official “W” and we missed the exit to Aspen, but we’re chalking this “detour” up to a win.

Saturday morning, we pulled our floppy-eared ’84 Sheepdog on the curb of 10th St. and rolled-out our pseudo red carpet – a grill and dogs – to service locals, students and even some four-legged fans hailing the scarlet and cream. Our party lasted from pre-game to far past fourth quarter as we chanted GBR into the wee hours of the night.

We’re currently taking a few “personal days” to recover, but this Friday, we’re on the road again! We’re headed for the land of cheese and brats to celebrate UW-Madison’s homecoming weekend. Keep your eyes peeled, you may even spot us parading around town ;). If you want to hang by the bar with us and put out the vibe, we’ll be parked on the cul-de-sac outside Graduate Madison for the better part of the day.

Spot us on the road? Make sure to give us a beep, wave and a “MOCK! YEAH!” for good measure.  If you’re more interested in sitting on your couch with your pet parakeet, map the mutt using #graduatemuttcutts.
