On, Wisconsin

Val and I are among the University of Wisconsin football fans rejoicing in the Badgers' 24-10 upset win over Auburn in the Capitol One Bowl Monday, January 2. Brian Calhoun, John Stocco and Brandon Williams, as well as the defense, came up big.
Readers who have checked my profile know I am a fan of University of Wisconsin sports teams, and Val and her family deserve almost all of the credit: her mother, Janice, is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin; her grandmother, the late Gertrude Wagener, worked at the university, lived a block or two from Camp Randall Stadium and was a longtime football season ticket holder, and Val, after being born and living in Chicago and then the Chicago suburb of Elgin, moved to Wisconsin and spent some wonderful time living there, especially summers in Two Rivers on Lake Michigan.
Now, let's see if we can't help get the Badgers' men's basketball team back into the top 25.
