The showdown between Brett Favre and Tony Romo never materialized last night because of a throwing arm injury sustained in the second quarter. The Dallas Cowboys dominated the first half of play intercepting Favre twice. The second INT turned into a 27-10 Dallas lead when Romo threw a 10 yard pass to Terrell Owens. Green Bay pulled within 10 points after backup quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw his first career touchdown pass 11 yards to Greg Jennings.
The third quarter was a fine display of what Favre’s backup is capable of. Rodgers led the Packers on a scoring drive spanning 69 yards in twelve plays. The drive was capped by a 1-yard touchdown run by Ryan Grant. The game was closed to a 27-24 disadvantage facing Green Bay.
The comeback effort was halted when Burlington, Wisconsin native, Tony Romo led his team on a game clinching drive ending in a 25-yard field goal by Nick Folk. The 37-27 final score would drop Green Bay to 10-2 and in a deep hole in the race for home field advantage throughout the playoffs.
Every Packer fan in the nation is wondering today how severe Brett Favre’s elbow injury is and will it keep him out of the game next Sunday. Favre reported that he also seperated his left shoulder on the play. The good news is that #4 has 10 days to rest the elbow before he returns to action against the Oakland Raiders in Lambeau Field on December 9.

With a heavy heart, Sturgeon Bay volleyball coach Jody Wheat had no choice but to step away from the program. After eight years with Clipper volleyball, Wheat has some health
concerns that have caused her to resign. Her health specialist threw
up the red flags during this past season. Test results were coming
back with alarmingly high numbers. After the season ended Wheat's
health drastically improved, bringing all her counts back to normal,
except one. It wasn't really a choice for Wheat, stepping down was
something she had to do for health reasons. Wheat talks about some
of her favorite things about coaching Clipper volleyball. (Audio Here)
All
together, Wheat has 23 years of coaching experience, 15 of them with
volleyball. When asked about what qualities the next Clipper
volleyball coach should have, Wheat said number one is "a love for
the game." Enthusiasm and a love for learning and teaching should
come first, volleyball technicalities will follow. In addition,
Wheat's replacement will not just deal with the varsity squad. (Audio Here)
When asked if Sturgeon Bay's volleyball program has changed over the last eight years, Wheat said this.
(Audio Here)
At the top of her list, Wheat says she'll miss the girls the most. She sees a great group headed for Sturgeon Bay volleyball at all levels. Wheat says she loves the competition and loves the game. Its never a good time to step away she says but for Wheat, she didn't have much of a choice in determining when her time was up. Wheat does not see herself as an assistant coach and it is not yet known who will take over the team. However, Wheat looks forward to supporting the Sturgeon Bay volleyball team from the stands.

Asylum was home to DHRU every night of the gun deer hunting season.
Wildlife Wizard Studio's Mike Ortherber joined us to talk about
taxidermy. Ortherber is a taxidermist and also travels around the
world to judge mounds of all sorts. He said those who are interested
in having their wildlife mounted should have a couple things in mind
before visiting with a taxidermist. Above all, Ortherber said you
get what you pay for with taxidermy.

Dennis "The Buck Baggin' Barber" Anschutz was along for the ride
every night on DHRU. Anschutz said he spent much of closing day
cleaning up camp. Cleaning up your deer stand and surrounding area
are some things to take care of he adds. Anschutz says it is also
very important to clean your gun at the end of each season. All in
all, Anscutz said 2007 was a great year for hunting.

Last night on 104.1 FM WRLU, Deer
Hunters Roundup was broadcast from 6-7 PM at the Pines II
Asylum. Our guest was Gary Nault of Gary's Guide Service. We
talked about buck hunting stories in Door and Kewaunee Counties
and the possibility of a deer guide service in our area. Nault
said it is unlikely that would ever happen because there is not
enough land on the peninsula.
Nault also talked about his son Matt's buck hunting stories in
Missouri. Matt landed a trophy just a few weeks ago. Nault also
reminded listeners that gift certificates good for charter
fishing make great stocking stuffers this Holiday season.
Contact Gary's Guide Service for more information.
DHRU will continue this evening with Joanne Anschutz and Jeff
Naze. We will talk about the family aspect of the hunt. Joanne
will also tell you of some excellent venison recipes. Jeff Naze
shot a magnum buck on the opening day of the season.
