Big Sports Weekend, Hopefully Good

This has been a big, if not always good, weekend for sports in the Hosey-Dunne Estates, with the Buffalo Sabres losing three games in a row but the Wisconsin Badgers having won two games and playing rival Ohio State for the Big Ten Championship in about 40 minutes today.
Appropriately enough, Val and I ate breakfast at Bagel Jay's on Delaware Avenue today; besides liking the food a lot, Val worked for Bagel Brothers on Elmwood Avenue when Jay and, well, his brother, operated that business. Jay saw my hat and asked us if we were fans of Wisconsin and when the game started today. I said yes and explained Val's Wisconsin connections: She lived there a bit, her mother Janice is from Manitowoc and graduated from Wisconsin in Madison and Val's grandmother, the late Gertrude Wagener, worked at the library at Wisconsin for years and lived two blocks from Camp Randall Field on Monroe Street, and was a football season ticket holder.
We had a very nice conversation on the University of Wisconsin (his daughter is a senior there), the sports teams and the likelihood of Wisconsin beating Ohio State and doing good in the NCAA Tournament.
I believe that this was a good omen for today, so from both of us, Go Badgers.
