It was THIS close...

Well, the Spartans gave the Badgers all they could handle Saturday in Madison, but it just wasn't enough. But you can bet that everyone in red at Camp Randall Stadium Saturday was crapping themselves when we had it at midfield with 1 minute to go on 4th and 2. After the back and forth scoring all day long, losing by only 3 points to a ranked team in their stadium with a hostile crowd wasn't all that bad.
As a matter of fact, Ann and I had a total blast going from tailgate to tailgate with random Spartan fans that we met along the way, and even a guy I knew from the basketball "league" whom we tailgated with in front of a dumpster.. that was a highlight..
I'll put pictures up tonight, that will tell the story much better.
But we did encounter some rotten apples in the Wisconsin student ranks. We hadn't been in town more than 10 minutes when some kid spotted my State flag on the car and yelled "Awww, FUCK YOU!" as I drove past. Now that's class. We hadn't even parked yet.. welcome to Madison I guess. The majority of fans we ran into were completely hospitable, but it was clear that students just aren't mature enough to handle a good rivalry and have some fun with it.
I doubt that students will ever stop being so infantile and rude, especially when fueled by booze. Ahhh well.
