You keep misspelling the name of the city. It's "Eau Claire".

Wait, what's this about watering Claire? :?

No, no, Eau Claire. You know, the Blugolds? Medium-size city about halfway between Saint Paul and Madison?

Yes, I know, I was just referring to the French source of its name, which translates to English as "Clear Water". Though I don't know what Blugolds are.

Neither do the rest of us in the WIAC. :laugh:
(click to show/hide)The joke: Eau Claire is home of the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. Its campus straddles the Eau Claire River. The school's nickname is "Blugolds" - which only makes sense when you know that it's the school colors. Students, alumni and fans of other UW system schools in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (including my alma mater, UW-Whitewater) derisively chant "What the ####'s a Blugold?" during games against them.
