As a visitor to the U.S. from England, I would just like to take this opportunity to thank the fantastic fans from Wisconsin who made my vacation extra special.

I was in Vegas when the Badgers were in town and was amazed by the volume of support. Everywhere was a sea of red. Everyone was friendly, and the display by the band at the forum shops was just awesome.

Upon leaving Vegas, I headed to New York for four nights and managed to purchase tickets to the Giants-Packers game. The red shirts had now changed to a mass of green, and once again I was surrounded by good-natured Wisconsin folk. Never before have I met so many people of all ages who praised their home town/state, whilst managing to exude a continuous feel-good factor.

that’s pretty neat!

ten bucks says he’s faking.

Perhaps the fact that our football student section is at its best when its singing appealed to the soccer hooligan in Dooley’s heart.

Glad you can appreciate Wisconsin sports fans!
