Nobody loves University of Wisconsin players the way Wisconsinites do. It's disgusting. If you do anything of note in Badger colors, you're set for life. I used to live in Madison, and here are some of the things that happened while I was there.
- The most-represented NFL jersey I saw out and about was Aaron Rodgers, by far. No. 2 was J.J. Watt.
- Strangers, upon finding out I was a big hockey fan, pivoting immediately to my thoughts on Blake Geoffrion, a former Badger who played all of 42 games in the NHL. This happened more than once.
