Note: This post was written on Friday, Oct. 14th.It was Homecoming week for the Badgers, the Brewers were in still in the game, and the Packers were playing on Sunday. It wasn’t published due to internet failure!
The leaves may be falling, the temperatures dropping, and the days getting shorter, but the atmosphere in Wisconsin is really heating up. I must admit though, I am not really much of a sports fan. In fact, I have been complaining about being a sports widow for the past few weeks. In spite of my lack of enthusiasm,I actually know what is going on in the world of sports in Wisconsin.
Tomorrow, everyone in Madison will be decked out in red. If you do not own red outer wear then you are missing the boat. I personally own 3 different red jackets and one fleece. It is Homecoming and the mighty Badgers are playing Indiana. The Badgers have been literally running all over their opponents. It is really fun to watch and there have been whispers of a bowl game again this year. Of course, they still need to play some of the Big Boys!
I am not a baseball fan. I do not even have to really pretend to be one although there is a lot of baseball watching going on in my house and all around me. Even though, I do not really care, I do know that it is a fun year to be a Brewers fan. Although I don’t pay much attention and I could not even name a player, I do seem to always know the score. It is important so that I can hold up my end of the conversation.
And then there are the Packers. They have won every game thus far this year. They too, are running all over their opponents. Are we looking for another Super Bowl?
So now that Wisconsin is really on the map- at least in the sports world, we are being recognized as one of the best places to live and work. Madison has been rated as one of the top places to live for young people, men, women, bikers, health care, etc. It truly should be on the map. The big question though is, “How should you dress to pay homage to all of the great sports teams?”
My advice for the weekend is to wear your Badger red sweatshirt or jacket, your Brewers baseball cap, and carry your drink in a Packer mug. You will be right in Wisconsin style!
