Dear Editor: As University of Wisconsin alumni, my wife and I have a Red Room dedicated to all things Badger.
Appropriately decorated, with a modicum of kitsch, it leaves little doubt as to our loyalties. It’s equipped to double as our guest room, and we hosted family this past weekend, including a 7-year-old niece and 5-year-old nephew.
My nephew woke his mother, at 6:30 a.m. Saturday, to proclaim “Mom, I love Bucky Badger!” Refreshingly innocent, yet precocious enough for me to think it’s time for more advanced concepts. To wit: “Louis, you have to control both sides of the line of scrimmage to establish the running game.”
Better these than video games or cartoons.
