Over on the Badger board "southfew" wrote that Wisconsinites wear the title of heavy drinkers with a badge on their chests. I tend to agree. Now as it relates to Badger football fans it comes down can you handle both the acholol and the venue? In Becky's case I think not. At age 65 I've
been fortunate to attend many away games and most of the Bowl games; the exception being the two Rose Bowls. With friends in Wisconsin I've been to Madtown many a time for the annual tilt. While there are many good Badger fans there are also an alarming number of fans both young and old that par take in the "hair of the dog" that become over the top drunk, disorderly, and downright obnoxous. This is not the normal tailgate thing where you have a few drinks to get the blood flowing for the kickoff. That being said, and not trying to be judge, jury, and hangman here;
here's my top four in my many years of following the Gophers on the most unruly fans.
1.Iowa
2.Wisconsin
3.Nebraska
4.West Virginia ( The company I worked for was based in Morgantown, WV and football and god were about equal. Over the 19 years I worked for the company I attended about 10 games. I could write a book on some of the things that happened at a WVU game; some incidents even dealing with the race card.
