As a visitor to the U.S. from England, I would just like to take this opportunity to thank the fantastic fans from Wisconsin who made my vacation extra special.

I was in Vegas when the Badgers were in town and was amazed by the volume of support. Everywhere was a sea of red. Everyone was friendly, and the display by the band at the forum shops was just awesome.

Upon leaving Vegas, I headed to New York for four nights and managed to purchase tickets to the Giants-Packers game. The red shirts had now changed to a mass of green, and once again I was surrounded by good-natured Wisconsin folk. Never before have I met so many people of all ages who praised their home town/state, whilst managing to exude a continuous feel-good factor.
