Get to know your blogger: Owen Riese

Over the course of the last few months we’ve had installments that took a deep dive into each athlete on the Wisconsin football and men’s basketball team. Every day we had a new player that took the spotlight and we got to know him a little bit better. We learned about their background, their recruitment and what made them the special athletes they are today.

Now, with both of those series wrapped up, we decided to take a look at the people behind each of those posts. Yes, that’s right, the humble and handsome blogger. In this series you’ll get to know the keyboard warriors that give you sports opinions, beer takes, mascot rankings and reality show recaps. It’s not an easy job, or a hard one, but someone has to do it. (Editor’s note: do we?)

Hypotheticals?

If you could get a ticket to any show or event, what would you want a ticket to? Late 80’s Metallica concert or an ECW show at the ECW Arena in Philadelphia in the mid-late 90’s. (Editor’s note: heart eyes emoji x1000)

If aliens took over and humans were put into zoos, what would you want in your zoo enclosure? Just give me a PS4 and a gaming chair and we’ll be cool.

What sport would you like to compete in professionally if you had the ability and skill to? Though it’s not “professional” either high level Super Late Model short track racing or demolition derbies.

If you were a fashion icon and whatever you wore would become a fashion trend, what fashion trends would you start? Not an expert on this but short shorts ARE STAYING IN.

What would be the first few things you would try if you found out you were completely impervious to physical harm? 1. How many beers can you drink in one day? 2. What does it feel like to do a Swanton Bomb off of a ladder through a table?
