Badgers in Wolverine Territory


Yesterday was a sad day to be a Badger.  After Wisconsin led for three quarters, Michigan decided to show up for the game and pull ahead by two points to deliver a 27-25 defeat over the Badgers. Despite the upset, Ann Arbor fans were gracious enough to let us file out of the Big House unscathed-physically, at least. I have several days of emotional healing ahead of me...

I must say it was great to see the familiar red and white jerseys and the marching band on the field. Also, my dad was in town for the weekend and it was really fun taking him to the Big House.  
                                                                           
Our weekend was jam-packed with lots of events. Between watching the debate at the School of Social Work on Friday night, pre-gaming at a grad house party, watching the game and eating dinner in downtown Ann Arbor on Saturday, and biking along the Huron River on Sunday morning, we definitely covered a lot of ground in only a few days! 

Thanks for a great visit dad-hopefully the next time Wisconsin is in town, we'll come out with a win!

Caitlyn,

I'm glad to hear you are still a Badger fan. You better still be a Brewer or Packer fan or don't bother coming back!!

Love, Aunt Val
