Nigel Hayes Crashes Weddings for the ‘Cake and Cougars’

Wisconsin forward Nigel Hayes is one of the most charismatic, interesting figures in college sports, so is it any surprise the he’s a legit wedding crasher?

Sports Illustrated’s Brian Hamilton wrote a feature this week on Hayes and his wedding-crashing ways, where some of the anecdotes were hard to read without the Isley Brothers’ “Shout” playing in your head.

Since, the junior forward has crashed about a half-dozen weddings, so to speak; many Wisconsinites, it turns out, welcome the presence of a charismatic character from two Final Four teams. Hayes gave a speech for the Strans, whom he met a day earlier, advising them always to kiss each other goodnight.
