There was no mention in Jerry Vogt’s obituary about the true love of his life or his home away from home, which were one in the same.
It’s understandable because there’s only so much room in those things. Vogt’s vast legacy had so many high notes that it’s hard to reach them all in a modest swatch of agate type in the newspaper.
Vogt had a 20-year love affair with the University of Wisconsin men’s basketball program, which took him from being one of the “Faithful 5,000” at the old Field House to having a courtside location at the Kohl Center.
