FEEDING HUNGER IN WI, AEA'S, REGERATIVE FARMING, ALFALFA UPDATE

Welcome to Man Cave University, where sports history comes to life through storytelling.

In this episode, we tell the remarkable and often overlooked story of Howard “Cub” Buck — a foundational figure in football history whose impact spans generations. From Eau Claire, Wisconsin, to captaining the Wisconsin Badgers as a consensus All-American… from playing alongside Jim Thorpe at the dawn of professional football… to becoming Curly Lambeau’s first major investment with the Green Bay Packers… and even launching the University of Miami football program — Buck was there at the beginning of something big, time and time again.

This isn’t about stats or record books. It’s about the people who built the game before it was glamorous. If you love sports, history, and a great story, you’re in the right place. Welcome to Man Cave University.

"See Clearly" by Tunetank

"We'll Meet Again" - Jeremy Blake
